Chapter 295: Surprise
Coco pushed the door open, the sound of the hinges creaking softly, the crisp morning air gently ruffling her hair as she stepped outside.
Coco approached the gate, her eyes widening in surprise when she caught sight of Sinclair’s familiar form.
She stood motionless for a moment, her mouth slightly open in surprise, taking in the sight of him standing outside the gate, her gaze roaming over his tall figure, eyeing the details of his attire and his overall demeanor, before finally meeting his gaze.
Coco quickly opened the gate, the gate’s hinges creaked softly as it moved, its rusty hinges protesting at the sudden movement.
As the gate swung wide, Coco’s face slowly lit up with a bright smile, excitement clear in her features, arms wrapping tightly around his neck and her body colliding with his.
The suddenness of her action caught Sinclair off guard, the force of her embrace knocking him backward slightly.
He stumbled a step, but quickly steadied himself, his hands instinctively coming up to brace her back, their bodies pressed together, the warmth of her body seeping into his and the subtle scent of her surrounding him.
Sinclair blinked at the sight of her, his eyes softening as he took in her bright expression, the corners of his lips curled up into a small smile, his gaze warm and welcoming.
He greeted her with a short nod, his voice gentle as he spoke, "Good morning, master."
Sinclair chuckled softly, the sound rumbling in his chest as he returned Coco’s embrace. "It seems that you had a good night’s sleep based on your appearance alone."
