章節 181: 176 Saarya (7)

I considered hurrying to Saarya and embracing her, but I refrained from doing that even if my mind deemed it irresistible. However, it didn't stop from delight and relief to spread across my face as I faced her.

"I'll take your silence as affirmation then," Saarya said at my starstruck expression.

"How much do you know about my life here?" I couldn't help but ask.

"More than you tell me," Saarya smiled.

"And you wouldn't tell me how you know it if I ask you?"

Saarya chuckled. "You have their smell on you," she said.
