Chapter 1305

Ariana found herself under the weight of a gaze she couldn’t shake off, feeling like she was caught in the act of something she hadn’t done.

The discomfort swirled inside her, leaving her unsure of her next move.

She couldn’t bring herself to meet Holden’s eyes.

Just when she was trying to muster up something to break the silence, a cold huff interrupted her thoughts.

Holden moved to sit on the sofa, his expression stormy.

With her heart pounding and a sense of guilt creeping up, Ariana cleared her throat and edged closer to Holden.

Holden shot her a frosty look and kept his silence.

Ariana had initially brushed off the matter with the phone call as a product of Holden’s baseless accusations and jealousy.

Yet, after the call, she felt guilty.

She approached Holden tentatively, tugging at his sleeve.

“Are you mad?” she asked.

“I’m not mad,” Holden replied, his voice icy, his face a mask of sullen jealousy.
