When she heard his question, her eyes widened in utter disbelief. The whole situation just seemed utterly ridiculous!

She was about to retort, "You've already got Liliana, how can you even ask such a thing?" but she bit her tongue and held back.

Elysia had no idea why Finnian would ask something like that, and frankly, she didn't care to answer him properly.

Her expression turned icy once again as she said, "No comment," before turning on her heel and heading into the kitchen without so much as a backward glance.
