Song was on cloud nine.
Everything he ever wanted was right in front of him. Her beauty was brighter than the sun now that her face was so close to his. No wonder his son was charmed.
But what was taking her so long to embrace him? He was the man she had been waiting for, right? Now, why was the welcome so dry?
Kro took her time staring at him. Clearly, she understood what having her body so close to his was doing to him. She did know.
But her concerns were far beyond the space between them.
It really was his reincarnation, but it had occurred differently from how she had imagined.
Calmly, she distanced herself from him. She went back to her seat.
"I'm glad you're doing well, even in this life. That's all I wanted to see," she said, suppressing her tears.
"Wh—what?"
That was never the reaction he had pictured in his head. If his calculations were right, that was the part when they'd be kissing and hugging, tears wetting their faces.
But this was bitter.
