Chapter 223

Lemmy felt Orion was genuinely kind to her, different from anyone else.

She once mistook his kindness as a sign he had feelings for her. Why else would he be so nice? But, in the end, it was just wishful thinking on her part. Orion seemed choked up for a moment before he finally said, "It's not out of the question."

"I'm not in need of a brother."

Lemira stood up, "I'm full. I'm going to pack."

Orion watched her leave, his gaze complex. Thaddeus walked in, "Done talking? Ready to let go this time?"
