Thomas‘ alluring, husky voice rang next to Yannie‘s ear, and her ear grew warm as his breath fanned
the side of her face. She bit her lip and shrunk. Her mind drifted to how not long ago, she was locked
outside of the door while listening to his…and Denise‘s moans of pleasure.
Instinctively, she bit her lip and moved away, creating a gap between them.
Thomas‘s brow furrowed once more when he noticed this. He tried to pull her back to him by wounding
his arms around her. “Why are you moving away? Is there anything you‘re not telling me?”
That was the only reason why Yannie kept on distancing herself from him after he woke up from his
unconsciousness.
She bit her lip. After a moment of silence, she pushed Thomas away. “Nothing. I‘m not hiding anything
from you. You think too much.”
With that sentence, the elevator reached the first floor, and the door opened. Yannie hastily walked out
of the elevator, much to Thomas‘ confusion as he chased after her.
“Yannie!”
However, Yannie did not look back and just left.
Thomas thought Yannie was just having a tantrum and she would not walk too far before he could
chase after her. Moreover, she knew better than anyone how weak he was that she would not just
leave him alone.
She would always put him first, after all.
Little did he expect for Yannie to not wait for him like usual—not today. She walked straight to the street
and hailed a taxi, leaving without Thomas. She did not once look his way.
Thomas frowned helplessly as he watched the taxi leave. He took out his phone. After a moment of
hesitation, he called Luna.
Yannie‘s behavior was far too odd. She had been purposely avoiding him after he woke up. Other
people might not know the reason for the changes Yannie had, but Luna would surely know about it.
Shortly, the call got through. Luna had just sent Denise away and had not talked with Gwen before she
received a call from Thomas. She looked at the name on the phone and hesitated to answer.
In the end, she accepted the call, knowing the reason before Thomas himself even spoke. Even so,
she asked patiently, “Can I help you?” “Something‘s wrong.” Thomas took a deep breath and said in a
deep voice, “Yannie‘s hiding something from me. I‘m sure you know what it is.” Luna said nothing as
she grasped her phone tightly. With a hoarse voice, she replied, “What makes you think I know about
it?”
“You‘re the one she trusts the most in the city other than her mother. She‘s a thoughtful girl. She‘ll
never tell her mother about her relationship because she‘s afraid that her mother will be worried, so if
anything is bothering her, you‘re the person she‘ll talk to.”
After that, Thomas furrowed his brow and spoke, “Luna, Yannie has been avoiding me ever since I
woke up. Did something happen when I was unconscious? Does it have something to do with Denise?
I hope you can tell me the truth.”
