Chapter 39 Heartless me

I lifted her up into my arms and kissed her cheek.

“She couldn’t come. She is really sorry. You will see her next time.”

Looking into her teary eyes, I could see she didn’t trust me, which I hated to see.

She looked at me for a little while, then she spoke finally.

“Will you promise?” she asked.
