"Orphanage!" Lucian's said. A frown marred his face as soon as she finished mentioning those words.
Currently inside his study, Lucian was busy with his work, when she showed up only to express her wish to spend her vacations at Angels Eye Homes.
Now that the exams were over, all students were granted a week's holiday, starting tomorrow. So she expressed her wish to seek permission from Lucian to allow her to spend the holidays at the orphanage.
Ariana stood in front of his table, with her eyes lowered. She could feel his gaze on her but she didn't dare to look up.
It had been a few days since the dynamic of their relationship began to change. Lucian noticed how Ariana tried to distance herself from him.
She might reason it in the name of studies, but he wasn't fool to sense that she was avoiding him. Even now when she expressed her wish to visit Orphanage, she was trying to stay away from him.
