Julian slowly pulled away from Astrid, his eyes locked on Mattie's. Astrid's face was flushed, her lips swollen from the kiss. Julian's expression was cold and disappointed.
They both glanced in Mattie's direction maki
G Julian asked a baffling question.
"You can now walk now?" Mattie fell to the ground immediately, still furious and sad at what she had just seen.
He didn't even have that apologetic expression, just a cold one, "Leave," He heard Astrid whisper beside him.
"As…" but she cut him off instantly.
"Please," she added and his fist clenched.
"Have a good night," Julian murmured, his eyes locked on Astrid's as she walked toward Mattie, whose gaze blazed with anger.
"You… kissed her.." Mattie cried out, her voice trembling.
Julian squatted to Mattie's level, pulled her up from the ground, and shut the door behind her as he walked off.
