Viscount Ferdi could not help but cry in front of Sasha, who was still hiding behind Arielle's body. Arielle could feel Sasha's grip tightening on her dress.
Ronan thought they needed to give Viscount Ferdi and Cathy time to speak to Sasha in private.
"I'll give you some time to talk. Make the best of it," the man said as he left his chair.
Lazarus joined in, leaving the room. Before he left the door, Ronan glanced at Arielle who looked reluctant. When the girl turned to him, he tilted his chin, giving Arielle a code to leave the room with him.
Tania also gave Crimson to Cathy, who was trembling. Cathy hugged Crimson tightly, and the baby started to cry.
Everyone had left the room, leaving Arielle, who was still tightly held by Sasha. She touched that boy's hand to put him at ease.
"Sasha… It's okay. I will leave you for a while."
Sasha shook his head, not wanting Arielle to leave.
"I will go with you," he replied fearfully.
