?Chapter 639:


    “The weather is beautiful tonight. Why don’t we go for a walk?”


    “But your health—” yton was already frowning.


    “I’m fine.” I interrupted gently, meeting his worried gaze with a hint of disappointment. “Or… don’t you want to walk with me?”


    His resolve melted at my words, and after exchanging brief nces, the three of them agreed.


    We wandered along the garden paths, the gravel crunching softly beneath our feet. A gentle breeze carried the scent of blooming flowers, cooling the lingering warmth of the day. It was restful, a peaceful reprieve, as though the wind had swept away all our troubles.


    But the question that had been gnawing at me for so long refused to stay buried. “I’ve always been curious. At first, you all seemed so possessive of me. So why did you end up… sharing me? Have you resolved things between yourselves?”


    Their eyes flicked toward one another, but nobody spoke.


    Bryan spoke first. He looked resigned. “Not at all. We just didn’t want to make things harder for you.”


    The simplicity of his exnation caught me off guard. I blinked, momentarily stunned, unsure of what to say.


    Dominic scoffed and crossed his arms. “Don’t misunderstand. The moment I get the chance, I’ll make sure you’re mine and mine alone. I have no intention of sharing you forever.”


    His piercing gaze flicked toward Bryan and yton, brimming with hostility, as though staking his im on me in no uncertain terms.


    The weight of their attention made me shift uneasily, heat rushing to my cheeks. My head dipped slightly as I struggled to meet their gazes.


    Then, yton gently took my hand as he spoke in a voice so tender it made my heart melt. “Makenna, I respect your every wish. Your happiness matters more to me than anything else. But if you’ll allow it… I’d like you to be mine, too.”

    His soft gaze made my heart race wildly. I could feel the flush creeping across my skin, leaving me flustered and utterly at a loss.


    “Ha!” Bryan scoffed, breaking the moment with a roll of his eyes. His mocking tone sliced through the air. “You’re such a hypocrite, yton! Always acting like the affectionate one. It’s nauseating!”


    Seeing their familiar sh about to erupt, I hastily stepped in. “Alright, enough!” I blurted, forcing a lightness into my tone. “We came out tonight to have fun, didn’t we? Let’s not ruin it over this, okay?”


    My words, thankfully, seemed to defuse the moment. The tension eased as they grudgingly stopped arguing.


    Not long after, we arrived at the observatory. The vast expanse of the night sky unfolded above us, a tapestry of stars scattered across the heavens like shimmering jewels. Sitting atop the rooftop, I let my gaze wander, the serene beauty of it all stealing the breath from my lungs.


    For a moment, the worries weighing on my heart melted away, leaving behind only peace.


    Dominic leaned closer and softly brushed his fingers through my hair. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it?”


    Makenna’s POV:


    “Yes, it’s beautiful,” I said, gazing up at the sprawling tapestry of stars that adorned the night sky. The cool evening breeze brushed against my cheeks, and I couldn’t help but smile, my voice tinged with awe. “I’ve never seen anything like this before.”
