(Rina's point of view...)
"Rina, are you okay?" David asked as we entered the church.
"Uhm, y-yes, I'm fine," I replied shortly.
In truth, my mind was preoccupied with the potential encounter with the Reymundo family.
Ideally, I would have been okay if I weren't with Venedict, but unfortunately, he was with me. I also anticipated their possible reactions if they saw him.
I noticed that David seemed unconvinced by my response, but he didn't press further as we entered the church in silence.
While making our way inside, I couldn't shake the feeling that numerous eyes were fixated on me....
The intensity of those stares made me uneasy, prompting me to divert my gaze straight ahead. I consciously chose to ignore the prying eyes, fearing the possibility of locking eyes with a member of the Reymundo family.
Denise, noticing us, enthusiastically waved from her position.
