Chapter 239 - Inna? (1) (1/2)

”I guess I found my new favorite song.”

Raghnall spoke with a soft voice that was filled with awe as he held a warm smile. The playfulness from his demeanor was momentarily gone at the moment which made Inna slightly shocked.

Then with his warm blue eyes, he looked at her as though he was looking at something amazing.

He looked as though he was fully mesmerized by her and her singing even though she must've looked like a drunk hobo caroling in the streets.

Then, his words finally registered in her mind…

”Your favorite song? Why? You don't even know the whole thing…”

Raghnall's smile widened as he gazed at her with a mysterious gaze in his eyes. They held emotions that seemed to be suppressed so that Inna wouldn't be able to figure them out.

”I don't need to. Your singing made that song to be, by far, the best song I've heard so I'm claiming it as my favorite too.”

Hearing the hidden compliment in his statement, Inna suddenly turned as red as a tomato as she instinctively hid her face behind her sleeves. Then, trying to hide her embarrassment, she decided to cry out.

”S-shut up! Your praises wouldn't do you any good!”

Her voice was strong and steady at the end but there was still a slight tremble in it that made Inna curse as she turned impossibly redder.

Raghnall saw the redness on her ears that wasn't covered well by her sleeves and he couldn't help but tug on her sleeves to try and get a better look at her hidden face.

He'd never seen her this red before and to say he was curious was an understatement.

He had this feeling that it was a once in a lifetime opportunity and so, he tried to gently pry her hands away from her face.

But Inna knew exactly what he was planning to do, and so, mustering up all her strength despite her drunkenness, she made her arms as sturdy as steel.

Raghnall groaned in frustration at her immense strength despite being drunk. And hearing his frustrated groan, Inna couldn't help but release a giggle in amusement.

But then, she later regretted it because it soon made Raghnall think up a mischievous idea.

With her whole face covered by her sleeves, Inna could only rely on her ears to know what was happening until she could feel the redness of cheeks disappear.

But aside from Raghnall's earlier groan, she could no longer hear anything from him. There was not even a sign of breathing near her which made her alarm bells ring.

That little fucker didn't leave her, did he?!

She was about to explode into a series of swearing when she finally felt arms pressed on her sides.
