Chapter 310 (1/2)

“Do you remember what I said a few months ago? Why, what do you like? ”

“Oh, yes. I remember. Why is that? ”

“Just open it.”

I was curious why he was so anxious about it, but I untied the ribbon silently and opened the box. At that moment, my eyes popped up.

The tiny silver box contained all sorts of chocolates. Chocolates in the shape of hearts, stars, circles, triangles, squares as well as swords and shields and even the crest of my family.

“Wow, pretty…”

“Do you like it?” asked Allendis with a smile, surprised by my spontaneous admiration. I nodded gently, with my eyes fixed on the box.

“Yes, it’s my first time seeing this. How did you make it? ”

“Well, you told me you liked something white, warm and sweet like snow. So I tried making chocolates to your liking.. ”

It was great for him to create chocolates in such various shapes, but what really impressed me was not that. All the chocolates in the small box were not brown, but all white, to my surprise.

“It’s surprising that you made them all white.”

“Well, I thought it was good because it was sweet and warm when you ate it, but no matter how hard I tried to find it, there was no white. So, it took awhile for me to try to make it white. ”

“Wow…You’re really great. Thanks so much, Allen. ”

Little did I think he could make white chocolates.

As I looked at them, I was so amazed that I could hardly think of eating them, when suddenly a black shadow hung over my head. With all smiles on his face, Allendis was looking down at me.

“You know what, Tia?”

“Ugh?”

“There is one more condition if you want to make white chocolates. I’ll tell you if you’re not angry with me. ”

“I won’t. What is that? I’m curious.”

“It’s me.”

What the heck is he talking about? It’s me?

No matter how hard I think, it didn’t understand, so I slowly asked back, tilting my head.

“…What are you talking about?”

“Look at me. I’ve got fair skin, I’m more than warm-hearted and I’m a sweet guy. So, what do you think? Don’t I meet that condition perfectly?”

“…”

“So, please take me, Ugh?”

“… ”

“Okay, okay. Don’t talk about it anymore today.”

“Don’t you want to try these chocolates?”

“Well, I want to save them. They’re so cute…”

When he watched me hesitating for a moment, his emerald eyes sparkled brightly as if he thought about something. When I looked at him curiously, he took the box from me and picked a small chocolate.

“Oh, open your mouth, please.”

“Let me have it by myself.”

“Come on. My arm hurts. ”

“But…”

“Can you have it this time only, thinking about my hard work?”

I closed my eyes, feeling that my face was blushing hot. How smart you are, Allendis! I can’t refuse it if you beg me like that.

When I opened my mouth hesitantly, he put that small chocolate into my mouth.

“It’s really sweet. Delicious.”

“I’m glad to hear that. My hard work has paid off!”

“Thank you very much, Allendis!”

When I hugged his neck with a bright smile, he paused for a moment, then hugged me and stroked my hair gently.

“How about it? Was it white, warm and sweet? ”

“Yes, it was. I felt exactly as I wished.”

His low voice close to whispering was somewhat sweet, and I felt very warm when I was held in his white formal suit. I naturally closed my eyes, hearing his soft voice echoing in my head that it was him who was white, warm and sweet like snow. I felt relieved from the tension surrounding my whole body.

I didn’t realize until this moment that there was somebody overhearing my last dialogue with Allendis, and that it became the beginning of all the events that took place afterwards.

“What are these, everyone?”

“Gifts for you, my lady!”

“Gifts for me?”
