Keira Leaf lowered her eyes, hiding the teardrops she could barely suppress. Her hands clenched tightly together, yet she still didn't step forward.
Seeing her dawdle, Joshua Sulliven seemed a bit impatient. He extended his long arm, pulling her into his arms. He raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from her cheek, speaking warmly, "Why are you so aggrieved?"
At the instant she felt his body temperature, Keira Leaf couldn't help but tremble lightly, instinctively wanting to avoid him, and her tears became even more torrential.
But Joshua Sulliven's arm was like an iron barrel, allowing her no room to struggle.
