Chapter 313 "Is that even a question?" Nobody likes being lied to! I looked at him, my voice laced with suspicion, "What, are you planning to tricklater, or have you already pulled a fast one on me?" He paused, then said, "...No." I couldn't tell if he was being truthful or not, but I made my stance clear anyway, "Ernest, I won't stand for deception." His Adam's apple bobbed as he spoke, "I understand." It's better to set things straight from the get-go. I've made it clear to him now, so if he ever dares to deceive me, he can't blme for turning the tables on him.

The boarding call echoed through the terminal, signaling the departure for an international flight.

"Licia, we should head to security," Ernest's voice pulledback to reality.

"Oh!" I replied, turning to him.

I felt a twinge of guilt, worried he'd notice my gaze lingering on Conrad, even though my interest was purely platonic now.

But Ernest's face revealed nothing, which only madefeel more uneasy and guilty. So, I reached out and took his hand, "Let's go." We made it through security and boarded the plane without issue.

Right before powering off my phone, I noticed an unread message from Conrad: "Safe travels." These words remindedof the times he'd be away on business trips, and I'd send him the smessage.

Then one day, Conrad mocked me, "Your message is so outdated. Next time, cup with something fresh, or don't bother sending anything at all." After that, I stopped sending them.

Safe travels! Though the words were old-fashioned, they represented my deepest wish.

After my parents' car accident, goodbyes to those close tobecmy greatest fear-I wel might be permanent.

But he never understood the sentiment behind my words, nd them annoying, so I s point in continuing. Contat to Yet now, he chose these words for me.

I decided to ignore the message and turned off my phone. Ernest had already switched his off, lost in thought.

I rested my head on his shoulder. "Ernest, safe travels." He smiled, rubbing his cheek against my hair, "Safe travels." "Ernest, there's something I haven't told you, I'm not one to keep things bottle things up, but there are either.

"Mm, you don't have to say it if you don't want to," Ernest said, not m TX wanting to pressure me. But I scoffed, "But I want to say it now." "Then I'm all ears." His response nearly madelaugh, "Ernest, do you know what you remindof?" "What?" "A Weeble. You just don't tip over, no matter what," I said, making him smirk slightly.

"That's not true. If you really wanteddown, I'd go down willingly,"m Ernest said, looking at me.

His gaze was serious yet playful, and m it suddenly madethink of that ve indescribable night we shared. X CKK-SBCr/GS2P
