Arkhen was stronger than Lira since he was genetically enhanced. So, if he really decided to be forceful, he could break free from her. But he didn't want to injure her and cause a scene.
Lira looked at Arkhen sitting on her thighs but was going to stand up. So, she quickly got up and hugged him.
"I understand, Mr. Arkhen. But what can I do? Initially, I came here to close my lingering thoughts of you and budding love. But after talking with you, I…I… *sobs*…"
'What am I supposed to do about that?' Arkhen was speechless. But he still decided to be a gentleman and caressed her back before consoling her, "I am really sorry. You are really beautiful and also intelligent. I am sure you will find someone better."
*sobs…*
Lira sobbed as her tears dropped on Arkhen's shoulders.
"I-I understand, but I have a request. Can I spend a night with you? I want to have some memories before leaving."
