Chapter 57: Uncanny Stranger

“Who are you?” The stranger behind the door echoed Park Noah’s question.

Frowning in confusion, Park Noah peeked through the small window. Then, she caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a tall man, cloaked in a deep blue robe.

“I’m a passenger in room six, but….”

“Yes?” Surprised at the man’s words, she hurriedly took the ticket out of her pocket to confirm it. First-class room 6. The wrinkles on her forehead deepened. She was right where she was supposed to be.

Wasn’t it my own room? But usually, first classrooms are rented entirely…

“This is the room that my grandmother and I booked.”

In the end, Park Noah was left with no choice but to open the door. Outside were two passengers — one was the tall man she had talked to a while ago and the other was an old woman, whom he introduced as his grandmother.

The old lady apologized, wearing a warm smile on her wrinkled face. “I’m sorry, young lady. I am also confused, but if we had a seat, we wouldn’t be there.”

“Forgive us, there is no empty space except this room. It’s because this train runs even at dawn, so it’s hard to call the operator,” reasoned the other stranger, the words smoothly pouring from his lips.

Despite her inner protests, Park Noah couldn’t refuse. Besides, even the first-class seats have seat numbers printed on them, and she was uncertain whether Kyle Leonard had reserved the entire room or only a single seat.

Also, the unwelcome guests must have already seen the unoccupied seats in their compartment. It would be blatant insolence for a young, able woman to reject a grandmother her seat.

“Well, come on in. But it might be a little loud. My kid’s a little… He cries a lot.” Park Noah placed a hand behind her back, making a little gesture. Immediately, Muell understood the signal and quickly began to brim his eyes with tears.

She was uncomfortable with her intention to force the two strangers out. However, it was only an expected response as she ought to be wary after fleeing from a train full of assassins barely hours ago. She had to make use of Muell’s talent to bawl in an instant.

“Thank you. You have a child.” The man entered the room without a slight hesitation and took his robe off.

As soon as Park Noah saw his face, her vigilance disappeared and admiration numbed her senses.
