Skyler patted his chest and promised.
Still, Xavier's gaze was clinging to Veronica. He didn't want to leave her. His eyes were filled with complicated emotions—both love and longing.
With complete reluctance, he turned to leave, but after taking a few steps, he stopped and looked back at Veronica.
"You must be careful," Xavier reminded worriedly.
Veronica gave him a warm smile. "I will. You too."
They looked at each other. Both harbored a myriad of emotions.
Skyler couldn't take it any longer. He took Veronica's arm and hurried her. "We need to leave right away. It's too dangerous here."
If she keeps staring at Xavier any longer and gets bewitched by that dashing man… Matt's going to be the one in real danger.
He had to admit that Xavier was pretty attractive right now.
Even though he had a scar on his face, it looked like a mark of time that gave him an added touch of steadiness and melancholy.
His cool, stoic face and muscular body made him look formidable, and even Skyler couldn't resist taking a second look.
"Ouch… You pressed my wound!"
Veronica yelped in pain and glared at Skyler before walking off with him.
Once they were gone, two people stepped out from the trees nearby.
Dominik's hands were in his pockets as his haughty gaze trailed after the two people who disappeared into the forest. "Here's your chance for vengeance. Do you have the guts to kill her yourself?"
Although the person beside him was dressed in a black tracksuit, the gentle breeze rustled the clothes and made her curves noticeable.
