"No!" Mason Nightshade immediately denied, "But these things, you don't need to know."
"Why don't I need to know?!" Aurelia Shaw raised her voice to question.
Ultimately, the two managed to discuss this matter openly.
Gustavo Yates quietly left.
He thought to himself: Luckily, he had the foresight to book a private room.
Only the two of them were left in the room, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense.
"Aurelia, that's not what I meant..." Sensing Aurelia's anger, Mason softened his tone, "This matter is between Balthazar Shaw and me. Even if there is enmity between us, it's just between the two of us. You got involved because of me, and it's understandable you hate me."
As he said the last sentence, Mason's voice trembled slightly.
Honestly, Mason was happy when Aurelia came back to find him, but he was also afraid she'd show him the same hateful expression again. He feared his attempt to get closer would cause her more disdain.
