Chapter 1042

Scott gazed at the person just across the small table from him. The expressions on her face, the changes in her eyes, especially the flicker of panic that passed through them when he uttered those words. Yes, panic. Perhaps even she did not realize it. However, he saw it. A trace, so fleeting, gone in the blink of an eye. If he was not watching her intently, unwavering in his gaze, he would not have caught that hint of emotion. Yet, he watched her all along, and he caught sight of that trace of panic. He caught it. However, Something about those words seemed to stir something within her, allowing him a glimpse into her heart, and then she recoiled. She did not want him to see, as if afraid of what he might see. At that moment, his finger twitched again. He rubbed the spot where she just touched, grinding it finely. In the depths of his eyes, amidst the play of light and shadow, her figure emerged, amidst the glow of the night, deep and shallow. Neither of them spoke again.
