Chapter 435: Dance For Me
After calming his body down, Abel quickly shifted back into his human form at the entrance of the Queen Mother’s residence to wait for Dani. Soon, he saw her arriving.
"What took you so long?"
"Huh? You left me," she quickly retorted. "And why are you still outside? Why not go in first?"
"Let’s go together. The Queen Mother is already in her garden waiting for us," he stated as he offered out his hand to her. "Come."
"Oh, right. We should be a couple in front of her," Dani muttered as she accepted his hand.
Abel didn’t respond, but he grinned as he led the two of them inside.
"By the way, you can always visit Dahlia, so why not ask her how she is yourself? Just check on her if you want to know," Dani scoffed out of nowhere as they walked together. "She’s back after so many years, so I believe having her visited by familiar faces will be good for her."
A brief silence followed, and Dani first broke the silence she created since Abel chose not to comment. He was way too focused on keeping himself from jumping her to properly pay attention to her. She was at it again about Dahlia, and Abel wasn’t pleased at the fact that she was throwing him at another woman so easily. It felt like Dani wasn’t attracted to him enough for her to easily let him go.
Was he the only one getting deeply invested in this relationship? He closed his eyes, trying to calm himself so as not to punish this woman again. Or maybe she was doing it so that he could kiss her again? The latter thought somehow made him feel more at ease.
