Chapter 793: The Girlfriend Replica (2)
It took a few moments for Lily to realize what had just happened. And as her heart calmed down a bit, she realized just what she had done. She could feel his heart beating steadily under her ear... Her pulse thrummed in her ears at this, and she could feel the warmth of Caius’ body seep into hers as she held him just a little too long.
Realizing how close they were and how she was clinging to him, she quickly stepped back, breaking the contact, her cheeks flushing with a heat she couldn’t quite control. She smoothed her shirt as if trying to compose herself, avoiding his eyes as she did so.
"I—uh, thanks," she muttered, still flustered. "That was... unexpected. I am sorry about this... I didn;t mean to grab you. Its just that the horror stories of anumal attacks I have heard along this road is huge and I was kind of scared."
Caius blinked, as if snapping out of his own daze, and took a step back too, shoving his hands into his pockets with an awkward chuckle. "Yeah, well... that little guy came out of nowhere. You okay?"
Lily nodded, though she still felt a bit unsteady—not from the scare, but from the way Caius had held her. She tried to laugh it off, though her voice came out a little shakier than she intended. "I’m fine. Just... startled."
Caius tilted his head, his gaze lingering on her for a beat too long, as if he was still trying to figure out what had just happened. But then, he asked," So, not that we have even hugged and all, would you care to share your memory about the past?"
Lily paused and shook her head, the feelings inside her getting subdued as she watched him and sighed," Come on a date with me."
Cai frowned. "Huh?"
Lily shrugged," Lets have dinner together and I will remind you of old times’."
