Chapter 125

"He is an idiot."

Preethi did not know what was it exactly. But something about the way he said that sentence… with a sense of mockery and disdain towards Sridhar… it just warmed her heart. And he said it so arrogantly as if Sridhar was so beneath him. As if it would stain his name to even be compared to him… it made her laugh. And of course, she also noticed that small tinch of jealousy in there. But one thing that wasn't there was pity… there was no pity or sympathy in his voice. He did not render it as if he was faulting him as part of trying to comfort her… but his rendering was that of a person saying a hard fact.

That moment she understood what Charan told her about the gut. Her gut told her she was doing something extremely right by being with him.

"Did I say something funny??" Adam's confused voice invaded her train of thought. That is when she realized she had completely buried her face into his embrace giggling.
