The Author's POV

Chapter 556

9 P.M.

As Amanda stared at the familiar building in the distance, her footsteps slowed. Matching her pace, Ren's footsteps also slowed.

They eventually stopped in front of the building.

"...We're here."

Amanda muttered softly as she raised her head up. Her face basking beneath the gentle moonlight.

In no time at all, it was already nighttime, and Amanda felt the whole day pass by in a blur.

'It was fun.'

She thought as she turned her head to gaze at Ren's profile.

While he may look different from how he once did, as she gazed in his direction, she could not help but feel her heart racing.

Amanda had never felt this way before, and it felt refreshing.

This was especially true after everything that had happened to her.

'Now that I think about it, all of this happiness is because of him, isn't it?'

From risking her life to save her mother, to saving her father from the demon world. After meeting him, Amanda's dark world began to lighten to the point that she didn't dread waking up in the morning like in the past.

She no longer had to wake up in an empty home with no one to greet her in the morning.

She no longer had to worry about her father's safety every day, and she no longer felt as empty as before.

'Truly...'

While he may not have done it specifically for her, he had changed her life for the better, and she was grateful for him.

Before she knew it, her mouth opened on its own.

"Thank you."

"...Thank you?"

Turning to look at her, Ren cocked his head a little.

"Are you thanking me for today?"

"No."

Meeting his gaze, Amanda shook her head before interlocking her hands behind her back.

Slowly, she took a step toward the building.

"...Thank you for everything."

For saving her mother.

For saving her father.

For brightening up her cold world.
