Chapter 40

• I didn’t see Valens after that day and an entire twenty-four hours had passed since then. I barely saw him on a daily basis but now, it was like he vanished from the suite. We didn’t even have our meals together like we used to do. Instead, Dami brought me breakfast and when lunch came, she brought me lunch with Dahlia following behind her.
• “I’m sorry for bothering you like this,” I said with a stiff smile.
• Not for the first time, Valens put me in an uncomfortable position. These days, Dami looked really down and I felt guilty for bothering her like this. She must be expending a lot of energy as she used her magic to check me almost every day and now she was bringing my meals and having to taste them. I felt I was constantly using her without offering her anything in return.
