Chapter 622: Trying to Win Her Over?
"Thanks," Aurora said softly, not angry at all. Her lashes fluttered as they lowered, delicate like butterfly wings.
Everett didn’t respond. He just tidied up their things on the ground. There were only two bottles of water left in his backpack, which meant... it was time to head back.
What a shame. If he’d known, he would’ve told Tobias to pack a bigger bag. Then they could’ve stayed out here a few more days...
Everett found himself a little amused. His love for her—it was selfish, even a little pathetic.
Aurora watched him calmly pack up and found it strange. Why was he so composed? Was he really sure he could get them out of here?
She had never seen Everett panic, not once. But did he actually know the way out?
After packing up, Everett stacked the leftover firewood neatly to the side. He looked at the slowly dying fire—it’d probably burn for another half hour before going out completely.
This place would need to be cleaned up after they left... After all, the Temple of Three Lives had stood for centuries. It would be a shame to let it fall apart.
With that thought, Everett pulled on his now-dry sweater and coat, slung the backpack over his shoulder, and strode toward the exit.
Aurora quickly followed behind. "Hey, are you sure you can find the way out?"
"If you don’t trust me, feel free to go your own way," Everett replied without looking back, his voice laced with sarcasm.
