Chapter 122. Impassioned Comforting

“Let’s go…” Ace muttered impatiently as he tugged on my hand for me to follow after him.

It felt strange for Ace to be the one leading me to my own room, but it felt strangely pleasant as well. His hand around mine felt warm and it reminded me of how much I didn’t want to be alone right now.

“I didn’t think that we would get this wet. You should take a warm bath and go to sleep. Don’t over think things, ok?” Ace instructed as he smiled at me.

Ace waited until I unlocked the door and opened it before he waved goodbye to me. I was a grown and independent woman, I told myself silently in my head as I watch Ace turn and walk away.

“Ace!” I called out to him quite loudly before I could stop myself.

It was when I felt something warm and wet against my cheek did, I realize that I had wrapped my arms around him and had pressed the side of my face against his back.

What did I…just do?

“Rina…” Ace whispered my name as he turned his head to look at me.
