Chapter 114
***
The unexpected voice made Sez flinch slightly.
"Sez."
Rayton called out to her once again when there was no response.
‘What should I do?’
While Sez couldn't make up her mind, Rayton’s heart was slowly burning to the ground.
Numerous thoughts passed by. He thought that his intuition that she was avoiding him was correct, and he was afraid she might leave him.
And even Philip's report about Matthias Karim having visited her came to mind. Rayton would usually open her door without hesitation, but he couldn't act like that today.
He was worried that Sez would feel scared of him.
"If you don't want to see me...”
Rayton bit his lip mid-sentence.
‘Then what? I’ll just leave and visit her again tomorrow? What if she avoids me then as well?
"No, just… please open the door."
By that point, Rayton's words were nothing but a plea.
"Open up… for me…”
He rested his head against the closed door.
"Please, Sez."
