He asked calmly, which caught Lucie off guard.
She thought he would explode with anger and accusations, like calling her an unfaithful woman for daring to cheat on him...
Since he didn't plan on getting angry at her, she had no reason to get angry first.
She looked at him cautiously, hesitated for a moment, and slowly replied, "It's nothing important."
He responded with a faint "Hmm" and remained silent.
Lucie was initially a little anxious, but then she thought that he had always been the one who wronged her, and she had no good explanation. So she chose to act as if he didn't exist and continued reading the book she had left unfinished. Her profile was calm and gentle, as if enveloped in a glow.
After about ten minutes of reading, she couldn't help it anymore. She angrily put down the book and glared at him, "Why are you staring at me?"
He blinked, concealing the deep color in his eyes, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
