Chapter 895 – Restraint
He was choosing restraint.
Ariel's chest tightened painfully at that realization.
And Lux?
Lux smiled faintly like he already knew exactly what she was thinking.
Which honestly should've been illegal.
Ariel's shoulders visibly relaxed.
"I'll be back," she whispered.
Lux nodded once.
And let her go.
Ariel stood carefully from his lap, still flushed from head to toe. Her satin dress clung softly to her figure while she tried very hard to walk normally toward the hallway.
Yeah.
Tried.
Because she absolutely almost walked into a table.
Lux watched her go with a hand over his mouth, fighting laughter.
Cute.
So cute.
The moment Ariel disappeared toward the restroom.
Sira appeared beside him like an evil thought manifested physically.
"You let her go?"
Lux didn't even flinch anymore.
At this point, Sira appearing randomly beside furniture was just part of life.
"For the time being," he answered calmly.
