Capítulo 35: I never meant to make you cry

Lithe politely excused himself from the dining table and fled the room without taking a single bite to eat.

Ash surprised everyone when he got up from the table with a worried expression on his face and went after Lithe.

Purposefully shrugging off Christina's hand when she tried to stop Ash from leaving the dining room.

Zen was about to go after the couple but Estella stopped him saying, "I also would love to go and comfort Lithe right now but he needs to get this closure from Ash in order for him to move on with his life."

"Lithe, are you okay?" inquired Ash. "I didn't know Christina would have announced our engagement over dinner. I honestly meant to tell you in person and not have you find out in that manner."

Lithe stopped and coolly observed Ash. 

Then the icy frost coldness in his eyes turned to a blazing inferno when it occurred to him that this was just a repeat of what happened in Vallance Continent.
