Nina gently stroked Shushu's back, soothing his emotions, before lifting her gaze to Setan.
"…Setan," she said softly, choosing her words with care, "you're a good person. But we're not suited for each other. With your status, you can find someone far more suitable."
She didn't understand why his attitude toward her had suddenly changed, but she had no intention of becoming entangled with him.
"Then can you tell me why we're not suitable?"
A flicker of hurt crossed Setan's eyes.
Whatever it was, he could change.
Yes, with his status, he could have any female he wanted.
But there was only one Nina.
And she was the only one he wanted.
Yet she was telling him to find someone else.
A dull ache spread through his chest, his voice low and strained. "I don't want anyone else."
Only you.
Before Nina could respond, Yanai stepped forward, positioning himself in front of her.
