Chapter 78 - Diana's Helplessness

"Sniff.... Sniff "

Zeph watched as Diana's eyes welled up with tears, flowing freely like a river, a sight that caught him off guard. It was at that moment he realized how far his actions had pushed her.

His initial intention was simple: to shatter her guard that had been isolating her from revealing her weakness to others but now that he saw her tears, ' guess, I gone overboard'.

He moved towards her as tried to handle the situation "H-hey, Danny, I was just joking, you know"

Zeph moved closer, taking her trembling hands in his grasp. Though she tried to resist but her manaless body lacked the energy to put up much of a fight to someone like zeph who remained resolute as he swiftly drew her closer to him.

Their eyes met in a charged moment. Zeph's golden orbs locked onto her two glistening sapphires, which carried a mix of pain and a hint of resentment.
