Chapter 546

  Arrick glances at me and despite telling me I’m his human shield he steps in front of me to bridge the gap with his mother, leaning in to kiss her on the cheek. Sylvana lays down her bowl, pats his cheek and then moves forward to kiss me on the forehead.

  “Do I need to wait for you two to awkwardly beat around the bush and spit it out ,while I pretend I don’t know, or are you going to tell me how serious it is?” She says pointedly; my mouth snaps shut, and I recoil behind Arrick once more. Arrick only giggles and gives her another kiss on the cheek.
