Chapter 6

After opening her arms, Lanaya lunged towards me for an embrace.

I instinctively dodged, causing her to stumble and almost fall.

Her face instantly flushed crimson.

"Donavan, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't you recognize me? I'm Lanaya."

Of course I knew she was Lanaya, but she was exactly who I was avoiding.

Without saying much, I mimicked her old posture, crossing my arms over my chest.

I gave Lanaya a scrutinizing look, up and down.

Just as her expression was about to crack, I spoke up.

"Men and women should keep their distance."

That one sentence left Lanaya with tears in her eyes.

I used to think that when she cried, my heart would ache, feeling uncomfortable all over.

So I didn't want to see her cry and would immediately try to comfort her.

But for some reason, after spending time with that group of bikers, I started to feel differently.

"What a drama queen!"

Hearing me say this, Lanaya's eyes widened in shock.

As if she'd seen a ghost.
