After Seth spoke, he looked straight at Alexia, his eyes tight as if they wanted to peer into her soul, and Alexia, looking at Seth, could only narrow her eyes at him and then look away, seeming to be in thought.
Noticing her reaction, a small smile came to Seth's face, and with Alexia no longer looking at him, he pulled her closer to him, making sure her body pressed against his.
Like this, silence descended between the two of them for a few seconds, and then Seth spoke teasingly.
"For someone who was fighting to get away from me, you sure are quiet."
"You said you wanted us to talk. What are we talking about?"
"Now you're calm, so your earlier performance was all just a pretence, huh?"
To Seth's joking words, no emotion came to Alexia's face as she looked away.
Noticing Alexia's reaction, Seth clicked his tongue and silently watched the beach.
