Saved Him, Now I'm Obsessed (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 166

“That’s…”

When I asked Ian what on earth I had to be consoled for, he hesitated to speak.

The funny thing was, while everyone else looked like they wanted to slip away out of sheer embarrassment at even having to mention it, Ian seemed to be carefully arranging his words, trying hard to suppress his barely concealed excitement.
