Chapter 370: Wedding seems to be more tiring than fun
"You’ve heard of it, right?"
I laughed when Natha came not with his usual sweet smile, but with stiff lips and darkened eyes. I knew he would be in a strange mood, so I already asked Zia to take Jade away from me.
Well, from us.
Natha arrived at the balcony, as if already planned to not let other people disturb us. Not for any naughty stuff, mind you, but because there were a lot of things we needed to talk about--just between the two of us.
The main topic, of course, was the humans’ arrival.
Before he could say anything, I put my fingers on his lips, and looked into his eyes. "Will you let me speak first?"
He closed his eyes in silence for a few seconds, before letting out a sigh between my fingers. "Alright."
I pulled his arms toward the sofa bed on the balcony. I had asked Angwi to prepare teas and finger foods that Natha liked to accompany our talk, although I had no idea if we would have the chance to consume them.
Anyway, I held his hands and started to speak after calming my heart. "I don’t want you to see this the wrong way, but...I don’t want you to be here at the exact time of their arrival--just!" I gripped his hands tighter and raised my voice a tad bit when his brows dipped. "Just at the start."
Fortunately, he still remembered that I asked him to listen to me first, so he didn’t say anything despite his face getting more tense, and just let me continue.
"I told you I want to talk to them, and I’m afraid they will be too...afraid, or something. Agitated, you know?" I smiled wryly.
