Chapter 206: I Don’t Want to Be Reasonable
"I, I..."
Rhodes was startled to realize, he couldn't get the words out.
"What's wrong? You're the one who gave me the key," Mira said teasingly, smiling as she walked toward the door, clearly wanting to tease Rhodes a little for his dazed expression.
But halfway there, she realized something.
This was his house. She was dressed like this, an apron tied around her waist, a scarf on her head, a feather duster in hand, and she had just casually said those words...
In this kind of scene;
Mira's face flushed pink. She had clearly walked right up to him, slightly tilting her head to look up at him, but now the words caught in her throat.
Her expression, the way she moved, the way she looked into his eyes, it was all devastatingly fatal to Rhodes.
His heartbeat quickened, becoming louder and heavier.
No, it wasn't because he had sprinted up the stairs earlier.
It was purely because of the girl standing right in front of him.
