Selene Kane was momentarily stunned; it was her first time hearing such a direct confession from so close.
In this world, expressing emotions is a luxurious act.
Especially in such a resource-strapped and complex societal environment.
At that moment, a part of her heart seemed to have been gently touched.
She slowly sat on the edge of the bed, softly laying her slender legs on the plush bedding.
She raised her hand, her voice gentle like water: "It's alright, I'm quite happy to see you too."
Upon hearing her words, Zane seemed greatly encouraged, moving forward slightly, gently resting his forehead against her embrace.
His movements carried a hint of caution.
After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly asked softly, "Is the child in your belly... today's man's?"
Selene Kane's previously gentle expression froze for a moment, her heart involuntarily speeding up a beat.
His intuition was surprisingly accurate.
She didn't respond immediately but took a light breath.
