Eva needed time to process Akuna's words. If what Akuna said was true, then it meant that everything Xylon did last night held a deeper meaning, something Eva hadn't anticipated.
She had never imagined that Xylon would act in such an intimate manner towards her, especially when he had always claimed to be ignorant of love even towards her .
Eva wandered until she reached the fields where the celestial garden lay, but to her, all she could see were the endless rows of crops.
Lost in her thoughts, tears welled in her eyes, blurring her vision and making it hard to breathe.
Suddenly, a presence behind her caught her attention. Turning slowly, she found Xylon standing there.
Locking eyes with him, Eva felt a mix of emotions surge within her, unsure of what to say or how to react.
Anger simmered beneath the surface for his actions against the attackers, yet confusion clouded her mind over the unexpected hickey.
