Chapter 30 - -30 : I’ll do my best
After a satisfying dinner, Leyla and Kyle shuffled down the night street, enjoying the ice cream in their hands. Kyle was keen on staying with her though she had told him to hurry back and prepare for tomorrow's exam.
"I need to digest the food first so I can properly prepare for tomorrow's test."
Leyla belted up, unable to come up with a retort to his confident reasoning.
"Let's walk for a bit then," she said, "but Kyle..."
"Hmm?"
"Why do you want to marry me?"
Leyla asked cautiously. The aftertaste of cold, sweet ice cream smeared on her lips.
"If you're just doing it out of pity...."
"Leyla Lewellin."
Kyle cut her off, calling her name firmly, and stepped in front of Leyla, who was a little startled by his frigid voice.
"Do you see me as the kind of crazy guy who marries someone out of sympathy?"
