Emotions, it seems, are contagious.
Scarlett Xavier heard the intense emotion in his voice, and her own throat became hoarse.
After all, she liked Julian Rhodes. No matter how cold-hearted one might be, there are moments of softness when facing someone they like.
Moreover, she wasn't a cold-hearted person.
Hearing Julian call her, she responded, "Mm."
Julian said, "Come back home with me... alright? You've been away for the past two days, so I went back to Wyvern Bay, but for some reason, not seeing you made me feel uneasy. It felt as if something was missing at home without you."
Scarlett thoughtfully analyzed, "Then you must be bored. You usually have so much work, and now that you have free time, it's natural to feel very bored."
"..." Her analysis seemed quite reasonable.
Julian didn't know how to respond.
Almost led astray by her thoughts, he continued, "Although that's part of the reason, I think it's more because of you. I really miss you!"
He said it earnestly.
