"You hurt Mason? Did you hurt him... a lot?" Aurelia asked. As she asked this, her fingers tightly clenched together, and there was a feeling in her chest that she couldn't quite articulate.
Balthazar glanced at Aurelia and nodded, "Aurelia, be with Mason properly."
"What is this?" Aurelia interrupted him, "Using me to compensate Mason?"
"Absolutely not!" Balthazar suddenly raised his head, "Aurelia, you must believe me, your father is definitely thinking of your wellbeing. I didn't originally intend for you and Mason to have any contact, but I never expected—never anticipated fate's trickery. If you like Mason, and Mason has come to like you, then this matter is the best choice for you."
"That matter, your father can't change it, he also has his own helplessness. If Mason knows the truth, he... perhaps has a way to protect you."
