I Must Leave
Davis watched Sophie Alstreim leave with a complicated expression on his face. That's right, he didn't truly leave but garnered her reaction, and to say the least, it satisfied his concern.
But he sighed, 'Phew... Talking to a woman who had already confessed to me, and I rejected is difficult...'
He knew how she felt.
Like a jerk, he observed her with his Heart Intent, and he could feel that she felt emotions like desire, affection, and admiration. He knew the latter two were targeted at him, and it was evident without even having to use Heart Intent.
He had forced her to take the twenty milliliters of the nectar, regardless of how she felt, because he wanted to put an end to these romantic emotions she possessed for him.
Perhaps, it was his own way of soothing himself but looking at it now, as to how Sophie Alstreim felt. It was unknown if she managed to put down her feelings for him as it seemed to remain strong.
