Chapter 187

Leila quickly wipes her face with the back of her hands and rolls down her car window.

"Hi," she says sharply, fruitlessly trying to put some cheer on her face, "I never got your name the other day."

"Can you not call me that? I don't even know you," Leila's brows furrow as she squints at him, a small frown on her face. "But I do know you little mate," his smile remains plastered.

Leila suddenly feels the involuntary change in her emotions just like last time when she could no longer feel fear.

Her sorrow drowning, the anguish bleeding away, the pain in her heart dissipating and she knows it's not her doing.
