Chapter 298 - Im just curious (2/2)

”Hey you two, I'm glad you're both okay. We were worried that something had happened since you didn't return,” Sanford grinned. ”The other two are very concerned.”

Lyn immediately knew what that tone implied. It meant they were both busted.

”Seriously. However, I wasn't expecting you to show up holding hands,” Sanford seemed very surprised.

At that remark, Lyn aggressively yanked her hand away from Rhys. She was still upset with him.

”Ouch, what's up? Why are you letting go of my hand so suddenly?”

Lyn doesn't respond. As Sanford walked closer to them, ”Geez, just where did you two go wandering off too? We were searching hard for you guys.”

”She started feeling ill during shopping. We took a quick break, but then it started pouring, so we couldn't return right away.” Rhys responded. It surprised Lyn that Rhys answered his question honestly, although his true statement omitted some information. Which means there's no way Sanford would think he's lying. Did he cover for her just now?

”Kiddo, you did nothing weird to this girl, did you?” Sanford looked doubtful.

”Haha, of course not.”

Weird? What are they talking about?

....

- Prince Ralph Manor -

When Lyn entered the room, Rhys pulled her down onto the bed. She looked at him, dumbfounded, ”What do you want?”

”Using you as a pillow, I'm tired.”

Why is this person so shameless? She's never met anybody so ridiculous before. A deep sigh escaped her lips as he rested his head on her lap. She really doesn't understand what he wants from her. But he listened to her when she was talking about her powers. Nobody else has ever done that before. Her gaze fell on the person sleeping on her lap. ”My legs will get tired....”

Rhys quickly got up and shifted his position; he instead pulled her into his embrace. ”Alright, don't move. I'm already compromising enough ”

'Such a shameless person.' Well, forget it. She is tired. How did her simple visit end up with her getting drenched in the rain?

”Tell me, Rhys; you won't talk about yourself?”

Rhys smiled, ”You want to know about me?”

”I'm just curious. I don't know many people.”

”You don't?” Rhys asked.

Lyn nodded and then realized how weird that sounded. ”Uh, my family is overprotective...”

”I can tell, your very pretty. Hey, isn't it fine now? Let me see what is under your hood.”

Ah, even though she initially came here to show him. Prince Ralph sent them on an errand immediately, so she didn't get the opportunity to show him. Unconsciously she put on her hood right after she left the shower too. Lyn suddenly felt nervous, she's never shown anyone her appearance properly. Other than those who live in the church. Lyn didn't know what to do. She left his arms and sat up.

Rhys did the same, ”You don't want to show me? It just feels weird for us to be friends if I can't see your face.”

He made a valid point there; even she had to get a good look at Arthur before she became comfortable enough to speak with him. But Lyn wondered if it were really okay to show a person she just met what she looked like. Rhys reached over, and his fingers were on her hood.

”Let me see everything, okay?” Rhys asked with a kind tone.

”Okay,” Lyn mumbled. She still wasn't sure. But he really doesn't seem like a bad person. While Rhys irritated her earlier, that doesn't make him a bad person. It should be okay, it's not like she is doing anything wrong.

Eldest brother was very suspicious of her, though. She has to be careful. He would surely scold her if he saw this sight.
