Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Love?

Selene’s POV~

I was preparing another tray when a voice came from the chair beside me.

"Don’t go anywhere. Just stand here and give me a glass of new drink."

I froze. My hands stiffened around the tray. Slowly, I lifted my eyes.

Lucian.

For a moment, it felt like my breath was gone. My chest squeezed so hard it almost hurt. I forced myself to stay calm, forced my legs not to run, forced my voice to stay quiet as I nodded and poured him a glass.

He didn’t look away from me. His gaze was steady, heavy, like he could see through my skin. He took the glass gently, drank it down in one gulp, then dropped it on the table.

"Don’t go anywhere," he said again. "Just accompany me here."

I stared at him, stunned. He was serious. His lips curved into a small smile, soft and almost kind.

"Don’t worry," he added. "I don’t want anything. Just stay here. I feel lonely."

His voice was gentle, like he didn’t even realize how those words sounded. To anyone else, they would mean something else. But his face... his face showed nothing but real loneliness. He looked like a man carrying something heavy, someone who just didn’t want to sit alone.

My chest tightened again, but I forced my mind to work. I swallowed hard and spoke carefully.
