Chapter 649
A wave of disappointment washed over him.
“Why didn’t you reach out to me immediately?” Aziel’s voice was slightly raspy, and he struggled to keep his upset and frustration at bay while holding Sarah’s gaze.
“Not only did you refrain from informing me of the incident, but even after you were discharged from the hospital, you chose to rely on someone else to arrange transportation for you instead of reaching out to me for a ride?”
“You’re swamped with work, aren’t you? I didn’t wish to disturb you,” Sarah justified her actions, her tone flat and lifeless.
Her statement was meant to serve as an alibi, but it came across as an indication of detachment and estrangement to him.
“How could this possibly be a nuisance? I am your boyfriend!” Overwhelmed by desperation and fear, Aziel failed to rein in his emotions, and his tone became markedly harsher than usual.
This stark deviation from his typical mild-mannered disposition took Sarah aback.
Sarah observed Aziel with a hint of confusion.

Sarah suddenly felt she was unfamiliar with the many facets of Aziel.
Memories of past incidents began to set off warning signals in her mind.
Lynch’s manipulation, and the betrayal by her former lover – each event served to widen the chasm between her and Aziel.
He was far from the warm presence she had believed him to be.
In an instant, a wave of fear washed over Sarah, stemming from her newfound apprehension of him.
Aziel didn’t discern anything amiss with Sarah, only noting her silence and her unresponsiveness to his attempts at communication.
He hadn’t been present when Sarah had faced peril, and now her reticence and standoffish demeanor added to his worry.

Aziel was very uneasy.
In his eyes, Sarah was a dazzling star, lighting up the stage with her presence.
Her tons of fans and the special attention she received from those around her were a testament to her popularity.
But his place in her life… Aziel was uncertain.
Perhaps to Sarah, he was just a passing fling.
The thought filled Aziel with sadness.
He had never mustered the courage to discuss their future together, aware of the significance her career held for her.
He feared that introducing such a topic could burden her, possibly leading to a breakup if she felt pressured.
However, that hadn’t happened yet.
He was still in the picture as Sarah’s boyfriend.
Aziel tried to reassure himself.
He exhaled a deep, silent sigh.
Recognizing that Sarah was not in the mood for conversation, he refrained from pressuring her into speaking.
With gentleness in his voice, he proposed, “How about we go home first, okay?”
