WHAT'S WRONG?

Zayn tilts his head trying to process what Ariana just asked him.

"Why? Can't I?"

"N-no. I mean, I didn't know you would. "

"You are the one asking and now you are getting confused?"

Ariana remembered her words that wanted this man to protect her. Well, she did ask that but that doesn't mean for this situation. However, she can't help but feel a little relief.

It's not like she is nervous to meet the enemy, but she is afraid that Rose's painful memories overlap with her determination. If that happens, with Zayn by her side, she knows he will make her bounce back from her pathetic state. However, she didn't expect that to happen. Her mafia blood didn't allow her to. She wants to overcome this herself.

"Well, thank you."
