Return to Haven [1]

The moment the words left my mouth, the entire room changed. 

It suddenly felt incredibly difficult to breathe. 

'What's going on?' 

Confused, I looked around. Evelyn was looking at me with wide eyes and open mouth. Leon was sitting with his eyes closed and hands pressed against his chest.

He looked like a corpse ready for burial. 

'The hell is wrong with him?' 

The Family Head was looking at me with the usual expression he always wo—No, though subtle, I could see subtle shifts in his expression. 

He almost looked uncomfortable. 

When I turned to Evelyn's father, I noticed that he wasn't looking at me but rather the white-haired man. 

'Right, he must be the delegate from Central.' 

I hadn't paid much attention to him since he didn't have much of a presence. He was quite handsome and looked to be in his twenties.
