Lucien had no idea what was going on. This was the very time Efthalia had shown his affection and she was completely clueless on how to react.
Efthalia wasn't the only one to receive her but everyone seems to have been waiting for her arrival. She felt embarrassed noticing how everyone seemed to feel like the third wheel, and it was more than enough for her to be drawn into the hole.
"It seems that you visited your mother?" Efthalia uttered as they walked inside.
"Ah, yes," Lucien answered. Her hand placed between his arms. She wanted to ask about his strange behavior while on the other side, she couldn't seem to find the courage. 'ah, well, we are husband and wife.'
"Do you find it annoying that I kissed your hand?" The moment Efthalia said that Lucien felt herself getting goosebumps and a heart attack. "That's all you seem to be thinking."
"..." She had forgotten that her charm doesn't work on him, and there was no point in ignoring his question. "It isn't like that..."
