Jonah stared blankly at Julien, even though he was emotionally affected. Did Julien really spend the entire time waiting for him?

Jonah pondered whether Julien had truly foregone sleep and lingered by the door solely to catch a glimpse of him.

He gathered his thoughts and clenched his fist.

Julien pleaded, “Jonah, did I do or say something wrong? Tell me. Please.” He could no longer stand Jonah’s cold shoulder. His voice shook in nervousness as he attempted to hold Jonah’s hand.

Jonah suddenly took a step backward to dodge Julien’s move. Julien felt a shiver down his spine. He called out, “Jonah…”
