Chapter 269 - Dark Forces (1/2)

When Deming came out of the washroom,  Lifen has already left the room. He walked downstairs only to find her sitting in the living room while thinking hard about something.

'Was she again thinking about the thing from before? Exactly what is she hiding that's giving her such a pain? I need to find it soon and then will resolve everything for her', he said to himself as he descended the stairs.

Feeling him arrive, Lifen looked up at him as she walked and said, ”Umm...I..I am sorry”.

This time it was Deming's part to get confused  He raised his brow looking at her as if she has grown two horns on head head all of a sudden.

”I acted a little childish before. You must been irritated by me that why you angrily walked off the closet”, she said with lowered head.

Hearing her complete words, now he understood why she has come running after him in the washroom and then here giving stress to her little brain.

He wanted to chide himself thinking how insensible he had been. She must be blaming herself for annoying him when he wasn't even a bit annoyed at her.

He pursed his lips as he patted her head softly, ”Silly girl! I wasn't annoyed at you. I can't ever be. You think too much”. He assured her.

Lifen lifted her face up to witness his assuring smile . ”Then before you said...”, she still has her doubts.

”What did I say?” He asked feigning innocence. He truly didn't know exactly what made her feel like that.

”Earlier you said that you are okay if I...if I don't come to live with you... I thought”, she hesitated completing her words but still completed the main important subject of her thoughts.

Deming paused and then looked at her face. Her cheeks were looking fuller and rounder with a pinch shade of red. It meant she was a little embarrassed. She really looked so adorable like a cute little bunny that made him want to tease her more.

He let out a loud chuckle startling the woman standing in front of him. ”Does that mean that you will come to live with me?”

”I-I never thought about that”, she responded meekly.

”Silly! I was just saying that I will support you in your decision. If you don't want come here to live then I am okay with that. And it doesn't mean I am annoyed at you”, he said as he pinched her cheeks.

”And it also meant that if you won't come then I will come to live with you. That way it won't be a problem. Right?”, he added.

Now hearing the real meaning of his word 'okay', Lifen felt that she has been been wrongly treated. She scrunched up her nose and looked the man with a pout.

Then she gave a loud hmph and brushed past him.

”Hey that wasn't my fault. You took my words wrong”, he said as he followed after her to the dining table.

They ate their dinner in peace while Lifen ignored to give any glance to Deming. The food that was cooked wasn't bad at all but it looked too simple. It was not like Lifen mind but Deming was a little...

”I will definitely learn everything soon so that something this simple won't embarass me again”, he said in his mind and looked at the girl who was comfortably enjoying her food.
