Chapter 245: None Dared to Reach for the Other’s Hand
<.Lumina Spring.>
Stepping out of her bedroom, Lariette saw Ruediger sitting on the couch, waiting for her. Dressed casually in a baggy T-shirt and long khaki, he was ready to walk her to school as usual.
Lariette liked how easily this new routine was integrated into her life. She felt good to have a company while going to work.
As Lariette approached the living room, she noticed a different kind of beaming look on Ruediger’s face. Unable to resist, remarks flowed out of her mouth.
"Eddy, did you dream of something good? You look more cheerful today."
Lariette saw the same look when she had breakfast with Ruediger earlier. He made her some matcha pancakes with slices of strawberries.
Even after having breakfast, Lariette caught Ruediger chuckling to himself as he washed the dishes. She was in a hurry to get ready that she didn’t get to ask him.
Ruediger drifted his gaze to Lariette once her words rang in the air. Quirking his lips into a smile, he arched his brows. A playful glint flickered in his emerald eyes.
"You can say so," Ruediger replied with a hint of mystery. Rising to his feet, he asked, "Ready to go?"
"Yeah."
Lariette couldn’t help but wonder what kind of good dream Ruediger had, but chose not to ask him. She quickly followed him to the entryway, her footsteps light on the floor.
