459 Words
Lune pretended to show confusion on her face, but felt very delighted in her mind. “What a poor idiot.”
“Stop trying to pretend to be confused, please? You did prepare the present for me and tried to use it against me!” Aurora bit her lips in anger.

So she pretended to be very angry and turned around to leave alone. And luckily, Lune totally believed her and felt very happy to think that Aurora must’ve been punished seriously.
