Chapter 158: Emily [5]

[First Person POV: Emily]

He is strange.

That's all that comes to my mind when I think about the boy named Eden Morton.

A boy—No, calling him a boy doesn't feel right. The aura he has around him, the way he talks, and the way he behaves around me... He behaves like a... Father?

I don't understand why, but I feel like he behaves like that with me. Like he is looking out for me. Even though I haven't known him for a long while, he feels too familiar to me. Familiar like someone from my childhood.

"Emily?" Aeloria's voice brought me out of my own thoughts.

"Yes?" I asked, looking at her as I shifted my torso on the chair for a better view.

"Aren't you staring at him too much?" She asked, glancing at Eden.

I followed her gaze, looking at my bed where Eden was sleeping with his eyes closed... like a sleeping beauty waiting for a prince to wake him up.

Wait... Not a prince.
