Chapter 150: A Good Change

Rain didn’t want to pressure Alexander, knowing he needed time to figure out his true feelings on his own. She simply wanted to give him the space to come to his own conclusions. After all, his recent confession had been a big step, and she didn’t want to complicate things by pushing him too hard.
