Chapter 41: A Weird Mass Of Light (1/2)

”I'm so relieved.”

Aleshia released a sigh of relief after hearing Lawrend's praise.

”Why? Is it that odd?”

Lawrend was surprised by her reaction to his words.

”It was actually my first time cooking that. I'm glad you liked it.”

Aleshia explained with a beautiful smile on her face. Being praised for her cooking really made her night.

”Really!?”

Lawrend exclaimed in surprise. He didn't really think much of it at first, but now that she said that she cooked it for the first time, it meant that she was really good at cooking. Lawrend was genuinely impressed by her.

”Yes.”

When Lawrend heard her confirmation, he knew that he hit the jackpot. He actually got such a talented maid. There's no way he would let go of her now.

”You are really talented, Aleshia. I admire you for that.”

Lawrend could feel that this was one of those moments when he had to praise her more. It was just like those otome games where it was a crucial moment to effectively increase your affection points.

”Young Master, are you okay? You are not sick, right?”

Aleshia was somewhat taken aback that Lawrend was praising her so genuinely. She used her right hand to feel his forehead if he was actually sick.

”I'm serious!”

Lawrend spoke in all seriousness. But, unfortunately, the way she was acting now made his praise lose its effectiveness.

”I'm serious too. Young Master, you seem more manly for some reason.”

Aleshia replied as she realized that the Lawrend in front of her was not like the Lawrend that she had been interacting with in the past.

”That's because I have a beautiful maid with me!”

Lawrend shouted exaggeratedly. Aleshia opened her eyes wide in surprise. She was doubtful at first, but now she was sure that this was not the Lawrend that she was familiar with. The Lawrend she knew would not act so confident and flirty.

Aleshia didn't know what anymore. She thought she already understood Lawrend, but it all suddenly just became more cloudy to her.

”What's with that look, Aleshia?”

Lawrend asked her after seeing that she was merely staring straight into his face.

”Ah, I just can't understand you sometimes, Young Master.”

Aleshia explained with a sigh. She already trusts Lawrend to some extent. That's why she didn't find it hard to tell him her concerns. After all, earlier throughout the day, she looked back on everything that happened between the two of them.

”That's fine. You can get to know me more throughout this journey.”

Lawrend flashed her a confident smile. When Aleshia saw it, she felt reassured. Although Lawrend felt somewhat different right now, she could still sense that he was still the same Lawrend.
