The Forgotten Land (2)

Confronted by Canary, Rhode was at a loss for words. If it was possible, he wished to not say anything and muddle through the situation with a simple 'haha'. He knew that he would just be courting disaster if he mentioned another woman before her, not to mention several of them…

But Rhode was also aware that Canary was neither being unreasonable nor teasing him on purpose and out of jealousy. On the contrary, he sensed traces of uncertainties behind those words of hers. She was just a young lady who transmigrated to this world to be with a man she loved and yet, she had to face several other women who were on similar footing as her. This was indeed a bothersome and thorny issue to Canary, which explained why she couldn't hold back the anxiousness and asked Rhode such questions. After all, compared to a native like Marlene, Canary was more like an outsider where it was impossible for her to not have her own ideas and views on the situation.
