Chapter 49: Half Moon
She walked fast toward the dining room. When she arrived, she couldn’t hold herself from broadly smiling because the man she wanted to see was sitting in his usual spot.
Leon notices her presence; he looks at her, and when their eyes meet, it makes Allynna feel electrocuted. She felt her whole body slightly tremble. For her, it wasn’t a strange feeling anymore... because she had felt it too often when she was around him.
"Brother Leon..." she greeted him shily, avoided his eyes, and walked towards her seat, which had been prepared by Geoffrey.
"How’s your day?" Leon asks her after she sits in her chair.
Allynna immediately told her activities this afternoon with Lella on the second floor.
Leon hears her story without saying anything.
Makes Allynna feel better since earlier she was afraid Leon would get angry at her because she broke his rules by letting Lella spend the day with her on the 2nd floor. However, what she was thinking didn’t happen because Leon didn’t care at all.
Silently she smiles while starting to eat her dinner.
The room became quiet again. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of their cutlery colliding with their plates. Meanwhile, there were only the two of them in the room. Even Geoffrey, who used to stand in the corner of the room, was nowhere to be seen.
"Brother..." Allynna started to break the silence between them. Leon looked at her gently. She continued, "Thank you for making that empty space the way I wanted...."
"My pleasure. However, you must pay attention to your safety. Don’t hurt yourself in the kitchen..." Leon said.
