She looked towards Shane, but the man looked down and kept silent as a gloomy aura enveloped him.

Yulia shook her head. “I’m not sure about that, but probably. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said something like that.”

“Mr. Shane… “ called out Natalie concernedly.

Shane took a deep breath to suppress the surging emotions inside of him before bowing slightly to Yulia. “Thank you for telling me this. I’ll visit again another day. Goodbye, Yulia!”
