Chapter 103 - Eighty-Five

"And you are telling me this now?" I cross my arms over my chest and a disappointed look is etched on my face.
"I didn’t want to worry you." Leo murmurs, his head hanging between his shoulders.
"But do you think I am happy now that you hide your sickness from me?" I step closer to him and cup his face. "I will worry about you whether you want it or not. Love comes with worry, Leo. I can’t help but think about you all day and all night. Even when I am with you let alone when I am not with you. You are the one who always occupies my mind." I breathe, "I don’t care Leo if you keep secrets but when it comes to your well-being, please consider telling your queen. I worry, okay?"
"I am sorry." He nods and apologizes softly.
"It’s fine." I kiss his forehead, "But do you know why you got sick like that? I didn’t know you get motion sick."
"I don’t know either." Leo’s eyes are not meeting mine. He knows something or suspects something but deliberately hides it from me. But Leo is trying to hide something from me then he has his own reason. I won’t push the matter any further.
"Leo, do you want me to do my PhD?" I abruptly change the topic since he looks like he doesn’t talk about the matter anymore.
"Your PhD?" Leo blinks and it takes a few more seconds for him to comprehend what I am saying, "Oh your PhD degree? You just completed your master’s degree, didn’t you?"
"Yeah," I rub the back of my neck. "So I was thinking if I should pursue a PhD."
"Then go for it." Leo smiles warmly at me. "I am rooting for you."
