Avalyn POV

The following days after the dinner, Soren was in the house more often than before. However, he still seemed to be working in the study or on phone calls most of the time.

Meanwhile, I had been busy reading the books Lola dropped off.

Or, in other words… I had been busy keeping myself busy.

“The Isles of Denali consist of over a hundred small islands, many of which have their own unique culture…”

“…Although the islands do not have as abundant natural resources as the East continent, their comfortable climate, variety of sea products, and unique cultures still make them one of the best choices for those who are seeking a peaceful and relaxing lifestyle. They hold special appeal for those who are from the far deserts of the West continent…”

I was flipping through the travel magazine on my warm cozy bed under the morning sun when I heard a knock on the door again.

“Come in.” I called out softly, expecting to see Lola. She normally dropped off breakfast for me around this hour.
