Thump! Thump!
Silas's heart pounded, and his ears were ringing with each beat.
Maybe even Ivy's confession of love couldn't measure up to what she had stated just now. It wasn't a love confession; rather, it was the improvement in Ivy...
Before, her mind was churning with ideas of how to leave him, and now... now the very same chance was presented to her, but she? She stated that she would stay...
Heat rushed to his cheeks, while the excitement in his heart intensified. In a swift moment, Silas closed the distance between them and hugged her. It was a bone-crushing hug... as if Silas wanted to let Ivy know... know what his tongue or eyes couldn't express.
'My pink squirrel has become so mature!'
Engulfed by the sudden warmth, Ivy blinked, her heart thudding loudly, rapidly, and sharply.
It wasn't exactly a love confession; however, for some reason, it felt even more significant.
