“See, he’s genuinely missed you a lot during your absence… He’s declined every single blind date that your aunt and I have tried to send him to, and… Though we initially thought that it was because of Fabiola, we soon realized that his gaze had been on you this entire time.”
…But… That couldn’t be… right? Before she could even think of a reply, Elliot added, “Dad, just be more direct with her… Luna. He clearly loves you.”
“…What-”
“You know, I’ve already lost count of how many times he’s drunk just to ease himself from the pain of not having you by his side. He’s just terrible at expressing himself. Trust me, he loves you more than you could ever imagine.”
Upon hearing that, Ms. Payne couldn’t help but add, “True enough, Boss has secretly been watching over you this entire time… Remember all the times you received shipments of your favorite food? Well, they were sent under the name, ‘Frankston,’ but it was all him… What’s more, he even attempted to look for you at one point, but when he heard that you had forgotten about him, he ultimately gave up…”
…What?! When had that happened?! Sure, she had mentioned a few times that she had gotten over him since she couldn’t handle her love getting unrequited, but… Oh God, had he been around when she said that? But when?!
