Seven Sins System Chapter 207. Suspicion and Affection

Aria's PoV

Aria stood still, three meters behind Allen. Her gaze was fixed on him, her eyes wide with shock and disbelief. She watched as Allen. A look of intense emotion was etched upon his chiseled face.

Confused, Aria couldn't help but notice the pain etched on Allen's face. His eyes were filled with a sadness that seemed to be deepening by the moment. It was then that she saw something that she had never expected to see from a demon or devil - he was crying.

Aria's world seemed to come to a screeching halt as she held her breath, her heart pounding wildly in her chest like a thousand drums. She was staring with rapt attention at the teardrops that flowed from Allen's eyes, tracing a path down his ruggedly handsome face. It was as if the world had frozen around them, everything else fading into nothingness.

Allen remained silent, not a single word escaping his lips to explain the reason for his emotional outburst. But the look on his face, the intense emotion she could see in his gaze, made it clear that he was heartbroken. It was as though he had lost something irreplaceable, something that meant everything to him.

Suddenly, without warning, he grunted in agony, his hand clutching his chest as he doubled over in pain. Aria's heart lurched in her chest as she watched him writhe in agony, his head resting on the desk before him. She knew without a doubt that this was not physical pain.

Trying to search for the clues, Aria felt a wave of confusion sweep over her as she shifted her gaze to the object that lay on Allen's desk. It was a lamp, a unique piece that emitted a rainbow of colorful light, and a small vial of holy water that sat next to it.

She frowned, wondering which of the two things could be causing the pain that wracked Allen's body. The lamp seemed harmless enough, its light filling the room with a soothing glow. So she guessed it was because of the holy water.

'Is he crying because of my holy water? Why?' she thought. On second thought, that might be the reason why Allen didn't seem to like it too much. He even immediately put the holy water in a paper bag without looking at it twice.

Aria's mind was racing with a thousand questions as she stood there, staring at Allen with concern etched on her face. She knew that he was not just moved because of those presents, but something had truly shaken him to his core. Was it related to his past or some other personal tragedy? Or was it simply because it was his birthday, and he was feeling lonely?

The tears that flowed freely down his face and the weak gesture of pain that he made only served to nullify her suspicions. There was no way that Allen could be a devil. The Devil couldn't cry!

And as for last night, she couldn't help but think that he had probably gone somewhere alone to spend some time in solitude, trying to drive away his loneliness.

Aria couldn't help feeling guilty for all the negative thoughts and accusations she had harbored against Allen. She approached him slowly, her steps hesitant, before finally placing her hand on his shoulder.

Allen turned to her in shock, his eyes meeting hers in that silent room.

Without hesitation, Aria wrapped her arms around him, pulling him into a tight embrace. "It's okay, Allen," she whispered softly, her voice filled with warmth and compassion. "I'm here for you. You can talk to me, tell me anything. Just let out your pain and let me help you."

Then she closed her eyes in regret. 'This is all I can do after I suspect you… I'm sorry. I'm really sorry…'

Azrael's PoV

I froze in my chair. My eyes widened in shock. My mind raced as I tried to make sense of what was happening before my very eyes. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, let alone experiencing.

'What the hell is she doing here?!' I screamed internally. I didn't know what this fucking goddess was doing in my room. Worse, I didn't know why she suddenly hugged me as if I needed her. The shock even drove away the pain that previously stabbed my heart. The one that left was my heavy breath.

Okay, okay, I couldn't deny that I did look like I needed her hug. Correction, the tears made me look like I needed it and clearly in pain. But I didn't expect her of all people. Also, I wasn't really crying. The tears came out of my eyes just like that.

My heart was pounding so hard in my chest, it was a wonder it didn't burst out of my ribcage. The shock of seeing her was still fresh, but now my concern had escalated. The fact that she had come to my room out of nowhere, without any warning or invitation, was unsettling, to say the least. What did she want from me?

Despite my worry, I managed to find my voice. It was shaky and trembling, but it was enough to utter the question that had been nagging at the back of my mind since she had appeared. I made it up of course. "Miss angel...what are you doing here?" I asked, trying to gauge her intentions.

Aria released her embrace from me and looked deeply into my eyes with an expression of kindness and empathy. Her gentle hand cradled the side of my cheek, brushing away the tears that streamed down my face. It was an unexpected gesture, coming from someone who had been my nemesis for so long. My mind was flooded with mixed feelings, confused by this sudden display of tenderness.

"I'm worried about you," Aria said softly, her voice laced with genuine concern. "What happened? Who hurt you, Allen?"

'So you are trying to act as my guardian angel now?' I thought to myself, feeling a tinge of resentment. I struggled to find the words to answer her, my tongue heavy with the weight of this weird situation.

"I'm fine," I managed to say, my voice barely above a whisper.

But Aria knew better. She held my shoulders gently, her eyes locking onto mine with unwavering concern.

"I know you aren't," she said, her voice filled with compassion. "Just say it, I will help you as much as I can."
