Chapter 51

• Mia's POV
• "My body is receiving some strains and stress recently, both in flesh and mind," I utter in a casual tone, faking up an amused face, my dull eyes forced to brighten. I would give my true emotions but it will lead to more feelings of sympathy, which is what I don't want to entertain this morning.
• As he insists on knowing the reason for my lack of appetite, from being genuinely worried about me, I tell him that I've been feeling stressed lately and haven't been sleeping well. This response as I just gave to him brings an understanding nod.
