As Andrew mentioned Xylon's name, Eva's gaze instinctively averted, her emotions a tangled web of confusion and embarrassment.
The mention of her nightmares and the vulnerability they revealed left her feeling flushed and exposed. She found herself at a loss for words, unsure of how to respond.
Observing the faint crimson hue that tinged her cheeks, Andrew couldn't help but notice her reaction.
However, he remained resolute, determined to be honest with her, even if it meant acknowledging his lack of romantic affection.
"I need to be honest with you, Eva," he began, his voice gentle yet resolute. "I don't love you, and I can't claim to like you in that way either. But there's something bigger at play here, something beyond our individual feelings. I believe you are hiding something, something that goes far deeper than the lies perpetuated by Charles Ko and his lineage."
