Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3474

Marina held her teacup and answered honestly, "Our relationship is a bit complicated. It's not a pure, traditional romance like you're imagining."

Nocturne looked taken aback. "What do you mean?"

Marina didn't want to dive down that rabbit hole. She just offered a faint smile. "Basically, we don't really see each other unless we have a reason to."

Case in point: since parting ways that morning, they hadn't seen or spoken to each other in a whole week.

They only showed up when the other needed them.

It was an unspoken understanding between them.

"That sounds... really bizarre," Nocturne admitted, surprised.

Marina simply shrugged, neither confirming nor denying it.

Nocturne stared straight into her eyes. "Do you love him?"

Marina paused for a brief second before shaking her head. "No."

Nocturne smiled. "Then why stay together? You're young. You should be with someone you actually have feelings for. Otherwise, you're just wasting time."

"But I don't have anyone I like," she laughed.

"What if you meet someone one day?" he teased.

Marina thought about it. "Then I'd end my current setup and date the person I love."

A subtle gleam flashed in Nocturne's eyes. "Then I hope you find that person soon."

She smiled. "Thanks!"

They chatted for a few more minutes before diving back into their work.

After a quick lunch at the teahouse, they spent the entire afternoon sketching and drafting. Since they were both slammed during the week, they used the weekend to build up a backlog of chapters.

They finally packed up as the sun started to set.
