Chapter 18: Leon Visit

After their deep conversation, Lizzy resumed watching her favorite drama on TV while Allynna played with her phone.

But a few moments later, after some silence in the room. Lizzy remembers something her mother has asked her about Ally. 

"Ally, where would you live in the capital if you left early? Are you going to live in a dorm? "Lizzy asks her.

Allynna was surprised to hear Lizzy ask this. She hadn't told her that she would be living with someone she didn't know, a mysterious and handsome man. The funny thing is that the man was the man who proposed to her. Her future husband.

She was unsure whether to tell Lizzy about this, fearing she would spread the news. And she would have a hard time explaining that to anyone else. What a hassle!

'No! I better hide from her for the time being.' Allynna thought. She didn't want her arranged marriage with Leon to be exposed to others.

"Ally, are you alright? Why do you often look blank these days when asked?" Lizzy narrowed her eyes, looking at her. 

Allynna snapped out when she heard Lizzy calling her name. She turns her gaze at her.

"Well, I'm going to stay at my mother's relative's house..." Allynna said confidently. This was the only excuse she could find at the moment. Besides, she will not be wrong because Leon can be said to be a relative. 

When Allynna saw her best friend, she seemed to believe her words; she laughed inwardly while maintaining her calm expression.

"Ah... I see." Lizzy said. "No wonder you want to fly there early. Well, Ally, I agree if you go there early because there's no one here to accompany you."

"I know."

"You know what, Ally? I'm so happy for you because you finally found your relative and will stay with them. You won't be lonely anymore..." Lizzy felt so much relieved when she found out that Allynna had relatives. She always thought Ally was left all alone in the world when her parents died. It turns out she is not alone in this world.

"Yes, I know. I'm glad as well." Allynna said, even though inside, she felt terrible about lying to Lizzy. She hoped that if Lizzy found out about this lie, she wouldn't be angry with her. 

...

After they discussed Allynna's plans to move to the capital, Lizzy said goodbye to go home. She walked Lizzy to the gate and waited until Lizzy arrived at her house. 

When she was about to lock the gate, a black car suddenly stopped in front of her house. She stopped locking the gate and looked warily at the vehicle.

'Who's visiting this late? Is this person lost?' She wondered while waiting. Her eyes were glued to the car, but she couldn't see through the window because the car window was so dark.

She starts to feel worried because she never received guests besides Lizzy's family after her parents died. The car door opened just before she wanted to close the gate. 

Allynna's eyes widened when she saw Leon leave the car and stand before her in his casual black outfit, complete with a long black coat hanging down to his knee. Even though his dark blonde hair looks messy, it doesn't reduce his divine-looking face.

His golden eyes stared at her sincerely, making Allynna couldn't move. She even forgot to blink. He utterly bewitched her.

Her heart starts to beat faster; her voice betrays her, and she can't say a single word. She could only stare at his shining golden eyes.

"Hello, Miss Allynna…" Sir Leon's charming voice seemed to melt Allynna's frozen body slowly.

"S-Sir Leon… why, why, did you come to my house this late?" Haltingly, she finally finished saying what was on her mind.

"Can I come inside?" He politely asked her and ignored her question.

Allynna stepped aside to permit him. After that, she closed the gate. But, when she saw the luxury car slowly move away from her house, enough to make her even more nervous. She tried to remain calm.

'Why did the car leave? Will he stay at my house?' She wonders. 

By the time she turned around, Sir Leon's body was right behind her, so close she nearly hit her head into his firm chest. Luckily, she stopped moving just before her head touched his chest. She blushed. 

"S-Sorry…" Allynna said with her head lowered, not daring to look at his face. In a hurry, he stepped back and walked to the other side, avoiding Leon. She walks like she is running towards her house, ignoring him. She could clearly hear him chuckling while following her. 

"Sir Leon, please wait here…" Allynna asked Leon to stop near the foyer when she realized the living room was still messy.

She turned off the TV, took the dirty plates and glasses in the sink, returned to the living room, and straightened the messy cushions. She does that in just a few minutes. 

After making sure the living room area is neat. She looked back to call Leon. But to her surprise, Leon is already standing near the living room. His eyes were sharp on her, making Allynna speechless because what she had just done was visible to him.

'Gosh!' She silently took a deep sigh. 

"Sir Leon, you may come in..." She was embarrassed while scolding Leon in her heart for visiting her house so late and unannounced.

"Is there something you want to talk about? Why did you come this early!?" Allynna asked again when she saw Leon sitting on the single sofa.

When Leon opened his mouth, Allynna suddenly remembered something. She immediately stood up from her seat.

"Sorry, Sir Leon, I forgot… What do you want to drink?" She asked politely. And she scolded herself for forgetting one thing her mother used to tell her was to offer drinks to guests who came to the house.

How could she forget about that?

"Anything..." A faint smile appears in Leon's eyes.

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.

She glanced at the clock on the wall above the TV and counted the five minutes. Sir Leon finally opened his mouth as the clock ticked to the fourth minute.

"Miss Allynna, I came here to cheer you up before your national exam starts on Monday..." He said calmly, yet his tone was icy. He put the teacup on the table, and his eyes stared at the girl; he didn't speak. 

She can only say in her mind, "OK, and…?" Her eyes glued into his golden shining eyes made her feel like she was under his spell.

He continued, "On Tuesday, after your last exam, we will fly immediately to the Capital. Make sure to finish your packing before that…."

Allynna froze because what she heard differed from what he said, "And I miss you, my future bride…Miss Allynna Frost"

Allynna was dumbstruck.

"WHAT? He just said he misses me. Does this icy man miss me? Did I hear wrong? Did he miss me? My lord..." She could only say those words in her mind. Because she still could not say a single word at the moment, as if Sir Leon put a spell on her so she couldn't speak.

"Anything else you want to know about Miss Allynna?" His lips curled up into a playful smile.

Allynna finally could gain her freedom to speak when Sir Leon averted his gaze. She quickly shook her head and said 'NO' in a voice only she could hear. But deep in her mind, she told…

"Alright, now you see me. Please go home. I'm a little bit intimidated by you right now." She wanted to say that, but she did not dare to. She just lowered her head to see her toe. She is so nervous about staying in the same room with Sir Leon. Moreover, they were alone in her house.

"Miss Allynna, may I ask a question?" Suddenly, Sir Leon's voice was heard again. Allynna raised her head to look at him.

"Yes, you can say it..."

"I saw some boxes in the foyer. Do you want to send them somewhere? Or are they the stuff you will bring to the Capital?"

Allynna shook her head. "No, those boxes, I want to donate them. Tomorrow, I plan to go to the other side of the island to drop it at the orphan house…." Allynna paused when she realized she didn't have a vehicle. His father's car is still in the car workshop because it was destroyed. There was only one person to ask for help: Uncle Arathorn. However, she was a little reluctant to ask him.

"I'll take you there… If you don't mind." Sir Leon said.

Allynna was stunned. Sir Leon immediately answered the vehicle problem she was thinking about. Her eyes were delighted, and she happily agreed to his offer. Now, she didn't need to ask Uncle Arathorn for help.

"And I want to remind you once again. I'm here to cheer you up and pick you up at school… Then, after you finish your exams on Tuesday, we'll fly straight to the Capital. You'd better pack the clothes or important documents you bring to the Capital."

Allynna was stunned.

"Alright, it's getting late. I'm leaving now—no need to lead me outside. Just lock the door. I'll help you lock your gate..." He said, then walked out of the living room.

Allynna, sitting in her place, watched Sir Leon's back disappear without being able to say anything. After she came to her senses, she stood up and looked at her front yard, but she didn't see Sir Leon and the gate was locked.

"Huh? Where is he going? Hadn't the car left him already? He's back on foot?" She murmurs.

Allyna was confused. She stood silently on her terrace, trying to hear Sir Leon's step or the car's sound, but she did not hear any sound. After a while, her body shivered after a gust of wind slapped her face gently. She immediately walked inside her house and locked the door.

After cleaning the living room and turning off the lights, she went up to the second floor.

Today, she spends her time cooking and tidying up her parents' things, making her body feel sore. Now, all she needs is soaking in her bathtub with warm water and aromatherapy.
