"Hahaha."
Orson burst out laughing, his gaze falling to Delilah.
"You and your usual reactions. When rejecting someone, at least try to do it more politely."
Though he said that, he didn't seem to mean any of his words. In fact, looking at him, he seemed proud of her.
On the other hand, Delilah just stood there, her gaze moving away from me.
It... almost didn't seem like she wanted to look at me at all.
I bit my lips.
"Actually, I—"
"Oh, would you look at the time? It's time for the Congress to start. Keep up the good work, Julien. Give your father my greetings."
Without giving me any chance to speak any further, he directly left, nudging Delilah with his head.
"No, wait."
Seeing them leave, I tried to reach for Delilah, but was quickly stopped by her gaze.
"Ah."
In that moment, I saw it.
I felt it.
She didn't want anything to do with me. If I tried to explain myself at this moment, it would only make things worse.
But I still wanted to clear things up.
