Chapter 61: I still think about her

"I have a query for you, Verena"

Ceasing the meal, Leo's eyes land on me. "What is it?" I allow him to continue. "I heard Zander Gavril is your boyfriend. Is it true?" The unexpected question from the kid catches me off guard. Do kids find it interesting to ask about an adult's love life? Or is it just this kid?

"Yes, he is my lover" Grasping the glass, I return the answer. It puts me ill at ease to have meal across Damian to be honest. I would not mind if he enjoyed his food quietly. The problem is his gaze which is piercing through my soul. He won't stop staring at me whole time.

I ponder if he has any queries on his mind. "Then, why didn't you bring him? I thought woman and man were inseparable when in love" Leo furrows his brows due to perplexity. It quiets me down. Who taught him these? He speaks like an expert in field of relationships.
