Chapter 93
An awkward silence fell between them. Dein looked at Grayson as if he couldn't believe what was happening, while Grayson, on the other hand, gazed at him with a bright expression, his eyes shining with anticipation, like a child waiting for candy.
What the hell is he thinking...?
Dein felt a wave of disbelief and his vision blurred.
“What the hell are you... Never mind.”
He was about to speak but stopped, shaking his head as he turned to leave. He didn’t want to waste any more energy on someone with whom conversation was pointless. There were far too many immediate problems in front of him that needed solving.
Of course, Grayson didn’t give up easily.
“Think carefully.”
Grayson, who had caught up to Dein in just a few jumps, continued speaking.
“In three months, it will be over. If you still feel the same, I’ll leave. I’ll even quit the fire department.”
When Dein hesitated, Grayson added, as if he had been waiting for this moment.
“I’ll disappear from your life forever.”
Dein looked at Grayson’s face in silence. His brother was a con artist, and he himself was a man who lied at the drop of a hat—how could he trust him? With a gaze full of suspicion, Grayson grinned and tested Dein’s resolve.
