Andre did not receive a reply for a long time and immediately thought that Yue Ran was going to mock him. But when he looked up, he was met with a completely different sight.
Yue Ran tilted her head slightly, a warm smile gracing her lips, her eyes shimmering with a tenderness that melted away all the negativity.
"I will not disappear," Yue Ran said softly, her voice a gentle caress. "I will come to see you again when I have the time."
Andre was stunned and unconsciously loosened his grip. He felt a mixture of apprehension and relief sweep through him, yet he replied with a soft "okay," his voice barely above a whisper, and said nothing more.
Although he released her, he still felt uneasy. A knot of unease tightened in his chest, and a nagging intuition whispered in his mind that something ominous loomed on the horizon, waiting for its time to act.
