Chapter 19: To Cheer You Up
It makes Allynna more nervous. She quickly left Sir Leon towards the kitchen while scolding him in her heart. This man is so stingy in his voice and choice of words. She has been talking a lot since then, but he has only spoken twice.
Allynna felt she wanted to cry against this mysterious man. He’s the only one who can make her like this. As far as she remembers, she never felt intimidated by men. She was always courageous with anyone she met, in whatever situation. But with him? Everything was the opposite.
She went to the kitchen and expertly prepared Earl Grey tea, one of her favorite teas.
"Sir Leon, this is Earl Grey tea. I’m using freshly boiled water. You will love it." she said as she put the cup in front of him and warm milk and sugar cubes in two small porcelain containers because she didn’t know his favorite tea.
And as Allynna had expected, this mysterious man didn’t answer. He just nodded slowly. Despite not showing any particular expression, Sir Leon looked calm and peaceful.
This island was deserted at precisely 9 pm. There were no more restaurants or shops open. There were not many cars on the street either. But this man still visited her house.
After silently sighing, Allynna finally asks him again about his intention to see her this late at night. But, once again, Sir Leon ignored her and was only silent. Gracefully, he added milk and sugar to his Earl Gray tea and slowly sipped it.
Allynna was speechless. She knew he was stalling for time.
If he didn’t start to speak in five more minutes, Allynna thought of leaving this man alone to go up to the second floor to sleep. Let this man do what he wants. She was tired of dealing with him, who was ungenerous to talk to her.
