Zu Wan didn't know what to say. He felt alarmed when Titania burst out crying while scolding him. He could feel that she was truly hurt when he disappeared.
His hand reflexively moved, rubbing and stroking her hair. He just let her vent out her frustrations as Titania continued to cry and punch him.
When she got tired, Titania hugged him so tight, leaning her head on his chest.
"Shhh… Don't cry. I'm sorry. I'm back. I didn't mean to make everyone worry about me. It's just that I had to leave." Zu Wan tried to comfort her.
After a few seconds, Titania calmed herself, gathering her emotions. She finally let go of Zu Wan, wiping her tears using her hand.
Zu Wan looked at her helplessly. Titania also gazed up. For a long moment, the two stared at each other intently.
It was Zu Wan who broke their eye contact first and looked away. He couldn't understand why his heart was suddenly pounding so hard under her penetrating gaze.
