Thinking about how Leila still hadn’t replied to any of his messages, the always calm and composed James felt an unusual wave of anxiety.

He’d always known how to keep a proper distance in his relationships with others. And he understood that Leila likely hadn’t replied because she was busy

It was already late at night–she had probably gone to bed. If he kept messaging her, it might disturb her rest, or worse, make her annoyed with him.

But being unable to reach her… the intense unease and longing gnawed at his chest until he couldn’t help himself he sent her a few more messages,

“Leila, are you asleep? If you’re still awake, just send me a quick reply.”

In front of others, James was always reserved, cold, and almost emotionless. But in front of Leila, he was just another man trapped in love, tangled in longing and confusion

Still no reply.

He lowered himself further, his pride slipping away with each word. “I’m really worried about you.”

He was so worried that if she didn’t reply, he wouldn’t be able to sleep a wink tonight.

He was even prepared to use his contacts to find her real identity and fly to her side in the middle of the night.

Earlier tonight. Lily’s phone had been tossed aside by John at Gold Towers.

While she was changing at the hotel, James had returned her phone to her.

At the time, she was feverish and groggy and hadn’t noticed any of the unread messages.

Now that the medicine had taken effect and her mind was clear, she finally picked it up to check–and saw dozens of messages from James, all filled with concern.

Her heart warmed instantly. Knowing he’d been worried for so long made her feel guilty.
