Chapter 76: A FRIEND?!
Daliah peeked out just a little, one blue eye barely visible past Rowan’s arm. Her cheeks were still red, and she looked like a cat caught doing something embarrassing.
Rowan let out a chuckle and gently nudged her forward. "Come on now. You were the one who attacked me with hugs. At least say a proper hello."
"But you should have told me sooner..." she mumbled again with a slight pout and then shot a glance at Logan before looking down quickly.
Logan didn’t mind. He simply gave a small smile and added, "I was just surprised a bit. Not many people greet with that much energy."
That made her lift her head again, just a bit. "I was excited... I was waiting for my gift... but I didn’t know a guest was coming..."
"Well, now you do," Rowan said, placing a hand on her head. "Logan is our guest. You can consider him as one of my friends as well. He’ll be staying here tonight."
Daliah slowly stepped out from behind him and gave a tiny nod with slight confusion. "Friend? Really? I don’t remember you ever having one before."
Then, her eyes narrowed a little. "But you still forgot my gift."
Rowan winced. "Come on, now. I will really get you a big one tomorrow."
Daliah tried to look like a proper lady this time. "You better."
Rowan caressed her hair and marched forward, Logan following behind.
