Angelica's voice was laced with worry. Her expression mirrored it as she touched Aldrian's cheek.
Aldrian kept looking at her face, which at this moment seemed to overlap with countless different versions of her from past lives. Those faces layered over one another until, at last, they aligned with the face of her first life as Angelica Celestine before returning to normal.
Aldrian smiled warmly at her and held the hand that rested on his cheek.
Receiving no answer, Angelica grew more worried.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying? Please don't make me worry," she said.
Aldrian did not answer immediately. Instead, he brought her hand closer and kissed it.
"Nothing. I'm just glad that you came into my life," he said, which made her cheeks redden. She became speechless from embarrassment.
