Roxanna gulped. A tight lump formed in her throat, and her heart began racing uncontrollably.
It had been a long time since she felt this shy around a man. Normally, the only thing she ever felt was fear, especially whenever her ex-husband came near her.
"W-We can hug…" Roxanna gathered as much courage as she could to speak. "I promise I won't do anything bad to you tonight."
Azul gave her a soft smile. He couldn't help but find it a little cute that she was more scared of accidentally harassing him than the other way around.
But the more he thought about it, the more his mood soured. She could think that way only because she had been harassed by her ex-husband so many times, and over time she must have believed it was normal for her.
Azul quietly gritted his teeth, feeling furious at her ex-husband, but he couldn't do anything about it because they lived in different worlds.
