Chapter 18: Dreams
Silver was going to say something but stopped when she noticed the seriousness in the atmosphere around them. And how could someone like her endure that?
She slapped her own mouth since she was the one who created that mood and shook her head, which amused Leon a little.
After all, she had stopped talking midway only to punish herself, and he could practically read her mind.
Silver picked up her chair, put it beside Leon, and placed herself on it while her arm automatically curled around his.
A big smile formed on her face as she nodded in satisfaction. This felt much better.
"What happened?" Leon asked curiously.
"I didn’t like all the seriousness," she replied flatly.
Leon chuckled, not a bit surprised. See? He was so right about her.
Silver rolled her eyes at him and thought about what she had been going to say. "Forget all the big speech. I’ll just keep it short. So, because of my past on the streets, I’ve always had a dream. Do you know what it was?"
Leon contemplated, and various thoughts passed through his mind as he wondered what her dream could be.
But how could Silver wait for someone?
In just a few seconds, she started talking herself. "It was to have a big family. It was a very rare thing to see back then, but then I saw true big families after Aunt picked me up."
