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.”

“Let me go.” she shouted.

What she did after surprised all of us. She punched into my chest, and she wanted to break free of my hug, so I had no choice but to let her go. She stood opposite me and shouted at me.

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.
