Lilia flushed hard at Zethan's words. With how deep his voice was, there was no denying that someone must have heard him even do he whispered. A sudden rush of heat crept up her neck,She quickly looked around to make sure no one had heard. The last thing she wanted was for people to be eavesdropping on their conversation.
She hadn't expected him to say that. No, it wasn't just that—she hadn't expected him to take her words from earlier so seriously.

She had only meant to lighten the mood because she didn't like seeing a frown on his face. That was why she had said that. But who would have thought that Zethan would actually take it to heart?
Her heart pounded slightly as she stole a glance at him, but Zethan was already looking at her. His gaze softened for a fleeting moment before his head slowly lifted toward the upstairs landing.
There, Zack stood, his piercing gaze locked onto them.
