Aselia's POV
I paused for a second and then I walked over to him and sat down beside him. There was a strange chill in the air and I couldn't help but shiver a bit and rubbed my arms.
Noticing my shivers he picked up the blanket and draped it around me. Making me look like someone who had flu and needed to be taken care of. But at least I was warm now.
"Thank you,"
"No problem, I called you here because I want to have a fresh start with you. I don't want you to have any ill feelings or malice in your heart for me. So can we start over?" He looked sideways at me with hopeful eyes. I wasn't sure what his endgame was but I knew I needed him the most for my mission.
"Yes," I replied calmly.
"In that case, I am Xiran. Nice to meet you." He extended his hand toward me and I shook it without further ado. His hand was so warm against my cold one. Although I was sitting with a fucking blanket around me. My body was cold like my heart.
