'Sigh... Of course.'
Lia, who had been clenching her fists and agonizing, finally resigned herself and lowered her head.
The secret expectation she had harbored felt foolish now.
Lia let out a sigh.
He said he already knew her heart... but what on earth was this?
Recalling the meaningful conversations from earlier, Lia could finally understand what Ian had been thinking.
No wonder it felt strange that he sought out such a deserted place to talk.
It seemed Ian's intention all along was to go on one of their occasional... 'walks.'
Did he think she was someone whose head was filled only with such thoughts?
As that thought surfaced, Lia, who had intended to have a serious conversation, felt the tension she had been holding completely dissolve.
Ian also noticed that Lia's reaction wasn't particularly favorable.
'...Is it not good?'
'No, it's fine.'
Could it be that it wasn't just an excuse to go out, but that he actually had something serious to discuss?
