Aciel glanced at Xylia. He knew he had some explaining to do and that pissed him off.
"Simon, can you take Xylia?"
"W–Wait! Wh–"
Xylia wasn't able to finish what she was about to say because Simon grabbed her left arm and dragged her outside.
"Take your hands off me!" She yelled
Simon didn't say a word and just put his finger to his lips. "Sshhh..." Then he asked her to listen.
Xylia frowned but still stood by the door to listen.
"Grace, that kiss on the cheek was nothing. I asked you what you want on your birthday and you said a kiss. That's what it was! And that promise? We were kids and I told you that because you kept on crying, it annoyed me! I already made that clear a long time ago!"
Xylia heard Grace chuckled in sarcasm. "What's happening to you? As if you're already falling for that girl. You never scold me before even in front of other girls."
