Chapter 140

His relationship with Seraphina might be confusing to those around them, but it was crystal clear between them.

She might have tried to erase all their past, but when she found out he was behind her return to Sunburst City, the memories flooded back.

She probably still hated him. She hated him for treating her like a booty call. With her character now, she’d definitely want to get back at him.

He knew what to expect, so he just watched before..

Her flirtatiousness, her come-ons, her deliberate indulgence, her feigned hurt… he saw it all, and even if he played along sometimes, he wouldn’t get too hooked

Now, she started playing hide and seek.

But Keen still noticed something was off.
