Chapter 414 - 406. Self Restraint
"Are you still sulking?"
Zein tilted his head to look at Bassena’s face, who had been stingy on words ever since the dinner. The most the man talked was probably when he was throwing shade at Senia, which the girl would retort in a cat-like hiss. Still, even their silent bickering was drowned by how hyper Reina and Han Shin were--as usual.

But he had a sulky boyfriend to tame this time.
