Bab 972: WE WILL FIX THIS TOGETHER

Aeon watched the girl in front of him, who was smiling softly which made him feel a rush of warmth in his heart, and he stretched out his hand toward her.

He didn't immediately touch her, but halted his hand mid air, to give the girl an opportunity to avoid his touch if she wanted, but Raine didn't do it. She looked at him straight in his eyes, a soft smile was still on her lips when Aeon's hand inched toward her cheek.

"How long did you know me for?" He asked, feeling the soft skin of hers on his callous fingers. It was very soft, until he was afraid he would leave a scratch if he wasn't careful enough.

"Very long…" Raine said, leaned in to his touch and then wrapped her hand over his. "Since you gave me the cotton candy in the park and then chased away those creatures that wanted to hurt me."

Aeon narrowed his eyes at her. "You have known me for that long?"

"Yes," Raine said, nodded her head. "Thank you for protecting me."
