Chapter 36 - Trust

Miriette shot down every single one of Zoemi's lousy excuses with a clear-minded argument each time the black-haired attendant opened his mouth - but her defense was getting weaker as it didn't feel right for her to refuse the boy's request.

Of course, not all of her counterarguments were completely clear-minded if we are being honest here...

In the first place, the dark-haired girl had her own opinion, and the first thing that her lovestruck brain told her when she heard the word 'suspension' was...

More time with Zoemi.

That's it – she couldn't see it as anything besides that.

Miriette was incredibly happy at the sole thought but, at least in her eyes, Zoemi preferred to be exposed to terrible suffering instead!

It was like the first time they traveled together and the black-haired boy cried with relief when his adoptive father took him away from her!

Could it be that she was actually hated this whole time?!

Miriette was so hurt that she got angry.
