Chapter 141

How could Owen tell her that only in this way—with her in his arms—did he feel that she genuinely existed and was within his reach. Only in this way was she someone he could hold and call his own… He told her that he had a social gathering, and she replied with a simple text before going silent. Did she never think to reach out to him? Even sending an emoji or a photo would've been fine. Aurora suddenly felt her face flush, and she took a deep breath. "I... I smell of sweat..." Didn't he mind? "Mm... You should go back and take a shower soon. You'll feel better," Owen responded thoughtfully, quickening his pace. No wonder she looked so slim. Even as he was carrying her, she really didn't weigh much. This also showed her that her stamina was no less than his. Seeing him so calm, Aurora gradually relaxed and let him carry her. "Weren't you at a social gathering? Did you drink?" Leaning against his chest, she noticed no smell of alcohol. There was only his distinct cool scent.
