Chapter 58@@novelbin@@

"Why?"

Ethan is just a young boy. Besides, we had already discussed our verbal agreement. The chances of him treating me badly were extremely low.

"Because he's a man."

The reason he stated so confidently was absurd. An awkward silence settled between us, unlike before.

"...He's not a woman, that's for sure," I murmured with a hint of amusement in my voice.

Darcy, realizing the contradiction in his own words, blushed deeply.

I tried to salvage his statement somehow.

"Right, technically he is a man, but—"

"No, it’s fine. Don’t bother trying to explain it away. It just makes it more embarrassing."

The way he kept avoiding my gaze was almost endearing. I never expected to see this side of Darcy. I couldn't help but laugh.

"I didn’t say it to make you laugh."

Darcy gave me a slight side glance as he picked up the coat that was still draped over my shoulders.

"I’m heading out."

"Alright, I’ll send you a letter tomorrow."

Darcy nodded, fiddling with the ring on his hand before turning away.
