Hellbound With You novel Chapter 825

Zeres shot him a kind gaze before he looked up. Then he smiled. A sad smile. "That must really sting. Abigail said I'm important to her but… I kind of feel like she'll forever see me only as a friend. And yet… I cannot seem to give up and keep hoping that one day, she'll see me as a man and not only as her friend." He glanced at Eris next. "Does the person you like already have a lover?"

Eris shook his head. "Not yet."

"I see… then don't give up. One day, that person might look at you. And return your feelings." Zeres encouraged Eris.

"I… hope so…" though Eris said that, Iryz thought that his tone somehow did not sound hopeful.

"By the way. When will you take that mask off and show your face to me? I can't believe we've been partners for three years and you've yet to show me your face." Zeres approached her and reached out for his mask. Zeres' movement was swift, but Eris's response was even swifter as he stepped back. Zeres missed the mask by centimetres.

Zeres halted. His hand was left hanging mid-air.

"I'm sorry." Eris said and he sighed.

"Are you really planning to hide your face from me forever?" Zeres arched his brow.

"No."

"Then when will show your face?"

"One day." Eris' reply was short and did not offer anything more.

"Fine." Zeres seemed to have finally given in. At least for now. "You're one hell of a secretive witch, you know that Eris?" He sighed again before he returned to his post.

Iryz did not even know what to think or say at this point. She could not understand what all this was about. Was she seeing just random memories of Zeres' in the past? But why? Why was she seeing this? Was there any meaning for her to view this?

And this boy. Iryz could not seem to take her attention off him. Was it because his eyes looked like hers?
