章節 636: Facing the Storm      

Ren's heart still raced, the electricity of their embrace lingering in the air.

As he continued to hold Evie, a voice disrupted their shared moment.

"I'm here too, you know?" Lamir's voice cut through the silence, an edge of amusement in his tone.

Ren's gaze shifted, acknowledging Lamir's presence, but his focus remained on Evie. He couldn't tear his eyes away from her, couldn't quell the rising swell of emotions that threatened to overwhelm him.

Evie's smile was a mix of happiness and relief, a response to Ren's unspoken question. "It's Lamir. He helped me."

Lamir's voice chimed in, interrupting their exchange. "That's right, It's all me. But it seems I'm being overlooked."

Ren's attention shifted to Lamir. For a brief moment, gratitude flickered across his features, his expression hinting at the fact that he wouldn't forget this debt.
