Chapter 372


    “Is your name just Kelly?” Josiah puffed his cheeks and frowned, looking lost. “What’s yourst


    name?”


    Kelly looked down and stayed quiet.


    Josiahughed. Who cared what herst name was? A name was just a term of address.


    “Alright, I’ll take you for a walk!” he said and was going to leave the room.


    “Hey, you…”


    Kelly tugged him back before he could walk away.


    Josiah paused and looked down… He still had no pants on!


    He flushed immediately and looked up at her in a panic, forcing a smile that looked more like a


    wince.


    Kelly was amused by it, and there was finally some color on her pale face.


    Josiah ran back inside the dressing room frantically and pulled on a pair of pants before he took


    Kelly for a walk.


    The fall night was beautiful. The porch was in the sun the whole day, so there was still a warm


    sunlight scent now. It was quiet all around, with asional bird chirps and dots of light that seemed


    like fireflies.


    Kelly took a deep breath and closed her eyes gently. Standing on a porch and breathing freely like


    this felt like thest lifetime to her.


    “It’s nice.” She smiled and opened her eyes to look up at the navy sky.


    “What?” Josiah was confused.


    “I’m saying it’s already a rare thing for me to stand here and breathe fresh air like this.”


    Josiah was simply more bewildered. “Don’t you usually breathe? Or do you wear a breathing


    mask?”


    Kelly looked at him and giggled. For some reason, they had just met for the first time, but it felt like


    they had known each other for a long time.


    It had been a while since sheughed, and he was the reason sheughed tonight.


    He had pressed her against the floor earlier to hide her from those men… Her heart sped up at that


    moment, and it felt like it had never calmed down until now.


    As Kelly smelled the fresh scent on his shirt and took in his masculine figure, he knocked the doors


    to her heart that had been long shut off again.

    “Kelly.” The man’s nice voice sounded. “What are you thinking about?”


    Kelly’s cheeks heated up, and she ducked her head, her hair covering half of her face.


    Josiah smiled, looking at her, and had the urge to push her hair away.


    “Nothing…” Kelly answered softly as she looked into the sky, “Just… I’m envious of those stars.”


    “Envious of the stars?”


    “Mm, I want to be as free as starlight.”


    It was Josiah’s first time hearing someone say that starlight was free.


    To Kelly, everything in this world—a drop of water or a tree—had the freedom she dreamed of but


    could not have.


    “You mean you like to stargaze?” Josiah asked with a smile, “Looks like you women are the same.


    You like things like this that you can’t touch!”


    Kelly froze. “Us women?”


    “Yes! My sis-inw likes it too!”


    Kelly did not know who he meant by his sister-inw, but she liked listening to him.


    “My bro got the stars and made them into a ne to make my sis-inw happy!”


    “Really?”


    “Of course not!” Josiah chuckled. “The stars were made up of hundreds of drones. As for that


    ne, he asked for the gems to be polished long ago. Who knows how long he kept it in his


    pocket?”


    Kelly’s eyes glittered in envy.


    “Then your brother must be really devoted to your sister-inw.”


    “Yeah!” Josiah said, “Actually, all men will be devoted when they meet someone they like.”


    “Have you met one?”


    “I…”
