Curiosity [3]

"Out."

Melania wasn't playing around.

The instant she saw her those children playing with the stranger she'd made the mistake of letting into their home, she saw red.

"I–"

"Out."

August didn't get a chance to talk.

He stood up slowly with his hands up, not saying a single word.

Melania was too defensive. He knew he didn't do anything, and she probably knew it as well, but she had no choice but to adopt this kind of attitude.

Why…?

'I'll have to find out.'

He wasn't going to push it. Whatever the case was, she was defensive to protect those around her.

These earth dragon children were obviously very important to her. If this was what she had to do to protect them, then he had nothing to say about it.

August walked to the door and out of the house in one move.

He could hear the sad screeching of those small dragons who wanted him to stay, but he put it out of his mind.
