Sylphia's teary expression was slightly flushed, yet she continued to look directly into Aldrian's eyes.
"I know," she replied.
Aldrian, still wearing his warm smile, wiped her tears with his fingers while cupping her face with both hands.
"I think I need to say a few things to you, so you don't have to think too hard about this matter and make yourself sad. It truly pains me to see you like this," Aldrian said as he stroked her cheek.
Sylphia remained silent, and her tears slowly began to stop.
"I want to make something clear. It might sound harsh, but I have to say it. This is also the first time I am opening some of my past that I have kept as a secret," Aldrian continued.
"You know that I have an unordinary origin in one of my past lives, right?"
Sylphia responded with a nod.
