Tyler didn't dare to say anything, it was too discouraging, and he couldn't bear it!
If it was before, Tyler might have joked a couple of times, but now Aurora Blaine has a boyfriend, it's not appropriate.
So, Tyler muddled through with a vague response.
After the call ended, Aurora Blaine took the gown and entered the bedroom.
She stood still for a minute or two.
What should come, still came.
She had prepared herself mentally back then, but now, faced with the reality, she didn't want to speak up.
She was afraid that if she revealed the reason, her grandmother would be very angry, and the consequences would be even worse, possibly being taken back to The North immediately.
So at this moment, she hesitated.
Not saying anything now might buy her some more time.
Aurora Blaine lowered her eyes.
She began to undo the buttons on her shirt. The apartment had only her in it, and the bedroom was quiet, with only the rustling sounds of changing clothes around her.
