Chapter 50: Lawrend Captures Aleshia (1/2)

Aleshia didn't even change out of her maid clothes and just plopped herself onto the bed.

”So soft…”

Aleshia murmured with her eyes closed. Lying on a soft bed feels really good after sleeping on that hard carriage seat for so many days.

Lawrend sat on his side of the bed while Allen was in his arms. He put him down on the bed and glanced at Aleshia. Somehow, he wants to open his mouth right now and tell her what has been bothering him since earlier.

”Aleshia.”

Lawrend called out to her. It was an instinctive reaction. His heart couldn't help but beat quickly in anticipation of what he was about to do.

”Hm?”

Aleshia turned her head towards Lawrend's direction and looked at him while still lying on the bed.

”I like you.”

Lawrend stared silently into Aleshia's eyes. The meaning was conveyed directly to her from his eyes.

”Young Master…”

Aleshia raised herself from the bed and sat up. She looked at Lawrend with wide eyes.

”You are so beautiful, cute, and strong. Aleshia, why don't you follow me to the end of the world?”

Lawrend was aware that what he was saying was cringey. It was so cringey that he was about to puke, but he needed to do this to convey his love to her.

”C-cute? Follow you to the end of the world? Young Master, even if you say that so suddenly…”

Aleshia's face flushed red as this was the first time that someone was confessing to her so boldly. She didn't know what was the logical response she should make.

”Aleshia…”

Lawrend raised his legs onto the bed and moved closer to her. He couldn't stop himself anymore. He already confessed and it would be stupid to back down now. He had to man up now or never.

”Y-Young Master…”

Aleshia gulped hard as she witnessed Lawrend move closer to her. For some reason, he was being so manly right now that she was suffocating from it. She couldn't help but raise her head and look at Lawrend's handsome face.

Aleshia's heart was beating out of her control. She was just like a maiden that was experiencing her first love. Well, she actually was.

”Aleshia, I hate you. I hate you for all the things you did to me, but I also want to cherish you at the same time. I want you to be mine so I can let go of this hate inside me.”

Lawrend touched Aleshia's chin with his right hand and focused her face directly to his.

”H-Hate me? And then you want me to be yours?”

Aleshia stuttered as her eyes swam around. Lawrend's presence was suffocating her. She couldn't believe that he would ever do something like this to her.
