Chapter 38

• Azalea:
• The next day, it was already afternoon. Ryan told me, with an uncharacteristic coldness in his voice, "Get ready. We are going out." Curiosity tinged with a hint of anxiety filled my mind as I wondered where he wanted to take me.
• "Where are we going?" I asked, hoping for an answer that would give me some clarity. But Ryan remained silent, his expression unreadable. Shortly, I made my way to the shower and after that, l dried myself off and slipped into the comfortable clothes Ryan had laid out for me on the bed. A soft cotton t-shirt, with snug leggings hugged. He had even chosen a pair of fancy slippers to complete the dressing. He was just giving me a special treatment an elder brother would give to his younger sister. And yes, I deserve such treatment.
