Vivian saw his expression soften and reached out to hug his arm, whispering, "I know you don't like me, but in Priocia you're the only friend I have. Can't you show me some sympathy, even if just for the sake of being business partners?"
"..." Sky Moore sighed softly, withdrawing his arm that Vivian was holding on to, and stood up from the sofa. Just when Vivian thought he was about to leave, the man nodded slightly and said to her, "Go to sleep... I'll stay on the sofa and watch over you."
Vivian knew this was the biggest concession he could make. She pursed her lips slightly, showing a grateful smile on her face, and stood up to lift the blanket and slide under it.
Sky Moore leaned on the sofa, fiddling with his cellphone in his hands.
The phone screen was flipped to the contacts, and he looked at the name Lily Smith with hesitation in his eyes.
Should he call her?
To explain why he's not coming home tonight.
