Chapter 152: Beep beep!
Beep beep!
The Zephyr X-9’s horn blared, its obsidian body gleaming under the dim streetlight.
Kael stood frozen, his mouth agape, his hazel eyes wide with a mix of amazement and unease.
The car was stunning—one of the best he’d ever seen, its sharp headlights and sculpted body screaming expensive and luxury.
A gift for him?
His heart raced, but not entirely from joy.
"So, how is it?" Freya asked, her blue eyes glinting with anticipation, her platinum-cyan hair catching the evening’s dim light as she leaned against the car.
"Ah, yes! Yes! I like it!" Kael’s voice boomed at first, overly enthusiastic, then dimmed to a strained loudness, his grin stiff, his hands fidgeting at his sides.
He nodded vigorously, his hazel eyes darting between the car and Freya, betraying a flicker of discomfort beneath his forced excitement.
Rhea bounced forward, her crimson hair swaying, her amber eyes sparkling with pride.
"The color was my idea!" she declared, pointing to the car’s deep obsidian sheen., "Doesn’t it look cool."
