hapter 37

The discomfort was definitely real. Thea couldn't help but think back to yesterday when lan had originally agreed to meet but suddenly said she had something to take care of and left.

Nicolas looked up and replied, his gaze indifferent. "She can handle it well. I don't need to be there." Darwin hesitated for a second before finally speaking.
