I smiled awkwardly and put my hands on his shoulders. As he pinched my chin, I could only face him. Even so, I looked sideways.
"Nothing, nothing at all," I replied uncomfortably.
"Do you want me to check it by myself?" He paused for a moment and spoke in a trailed tone, "Hmm?"
Hearing his tone...
I was guilty.
If Patrick went to investigate it, he surely could find out the truth.
Hooking my arms around his neck, I looked down, kissed him on the forehead, and smiled, saying, "It's not a big deal. It's all over. Now it is not like I need your help in everything. I can also solve problems by myself."
"Really?"
"It's true."
Patrick looked up at me with a somewhat profound look in his eyes.
The two of us were so close to each other that I could even see my own reflection in his pitch-black eyes.
