494 A Beautys Tears (2/2)

At least, she was starting to believe it had become true as she felt like something had slightly filled the void in her heart.

”What you like about me, huh?” Leon repeated softly, finding it hard to believe.

It would be more believable if she said she admired him instead. Perhaps, she was looking for a new pillar of support in him.

Faelyn suddenly herself away from Leon's embrace before asking, ”Did you think I was joking when I said I like you?”

”To be honest, I don't be—” Leon was suddenly stunned silent as he watched Faelyn's wrapped towel loosened and fell, revealing her lustrous twin white peaks.

”Ahhh—!” Faelyn exclaimed while covering herself with her hands, ducking into the water to hide from Leon's prying eyes.

After Leon recovered, he suddenly smiled teasingly, ”Where did all the courage you have earlier go?”

”D-Don't look! Th-This is different!” Faelyn quickly grabbed the fallen towel in the bathwater with one hand before wrapping herself.

How can the ice tower remain tall after melting? Her defense was lowered. Naturally, she would not have the same preparedness and determination she had a moment ago.

While Faelyn lowered herself in the bathwater, her line of sight was also aligned with Leon's bulging tent, causing her face to flush with redness.

Leon's expression immediately crumpled with awkwardness before shortly sitting back down in the bathwater.

The two entered a strange silence.

A few moments later, Faelyn asked in a small voice, ”Is it painful?”

”What would you do if it is?” Leon responded to her question with another question.

”I… I will help you relieve it!” Faelyn said with gritted teeth after a brief moment of hesitation.

”Oh?” Leon gazed at Faelyn with surprise and studied her blushing expression before asking, ”Really? You would really help me relieve it?”

”Y-Yes! A-After all, it became like this because of me.” Faelyn stuttered.

”But how will you relieve it? Will you hands, your mouth, or will you use…?” Leon shortly gazed down on her hidden twin peaks.

”H-How vulgar!” Faelyn cried. A moment later, she answered with, ”I will use my hands!”

”It's fine, it's fine. I was only teasing you. I can settle this myself.” Leon chuckled light for a moment before his expression suddenly turned solemn. ”What happened? I want to hear it from you in detail.”

Faelyn was distracted and had taken her mind off this matter. But after being reminded by Leon, her expression quickly turned sorrowful once more.

Alas, it was something he had to do. He wanted to learn about what happened, and he could only hear it from Faelyn herself.

Her mind was more stable now.
