Lucianne looked at her in surprise. The Kyltons thought that she would break down in tears, or explode in anger and jealousy. Xandar and Christian pinned her so close between themselves because they were worried that she may leave Xandar’s side. But her seemingly-kind words and compliment made everyone astonished.
