Chapter 44 Fractured Pride

• Once they exited the mall, Alex chose to treat Dysis to dinner at one of the top restaurants in Ravenhold. The venue radiates sophistication, featuring gentle golden lights and a tranquil atmosphere that reflects a stark contrast to the day's turmoil. Alex booked a private dining room to guarantee their privacy.
• Dysis sat opposite him, her demeanor clearly downcast following the exhausting shopping excursion. Alex observed her restlessly moving her hands, her gaze fixated on the vacant plate in front of her.
• The server presented a beautifully designed piece of cake, adorned with ripe berries and a gentle drizzle of chocolate. Dysis was taken aback and blinked when it was set in front of her.
