章 38: Confession
She immediately locked herself up and rushed towards the bathroom. She checked her body all over and satisfied until she found nothing was amiss.
'So, nothing happened.' she thought.
She doesn't know why but there's a pang of disappointment within her.
'What? Did I really expect that something will happen? Are you crazy Misha?' she scolded herself.
She showered and changed clothes after. She still doesn't know how she ended up with his room. Better ask than chasing tails. She wore simple blue cotton blouse and shorts. Even though it's winter, the heater in his manor are fully operational so, she doesn't worry of cold. She walked down the staircase and accidentally saw Lyndon eating shortcakes. The way he ate it showed how he loved things like that.
"Pfft…"
He was about to munch the strawberry shortcake when he heard someone chuckling at his back. He immediately put down the piece he was holding and turned his face to his back.
He was panicking inside when Misha saw him holding some shortcakes and eating them with love. But those feelings were remain hidden deep inside and he stared at the woman who's holding her laughter until her eyes were watery.
"Hahahahaha..." she's holding her stomach that starting to ache from laughing.
Lyndon raised his brow. "Is something wrong?" he asked icily causing the woman to stand back and stop laughing.
"Nothing.. I just didn't know that you love sweets more than any woman I know." she said and walked towards him. She can't hide the fascination in her eyes.
Lyndon did not reply to her query. He didn't want to expose himself to her just like that. He just stared at her without any emotion on his face. She didn't know what he was thinking at that moment. So, she began to get awkward.
"Sorry for teasing." she said meekly.
Lyndon just faintly smiled and continued to eat. She sat across him and picked a slice without any reservation about her diet.
After he ate, he became silent. It was a pin-drop silence. Misha couldn't stand it and asked, "What's wrong?" worriedly. She frowned when he didn't answer.
Lyndon has been mustering his courage up to talk about Leonard.
"I have something to tell you." he said seriously.
She felt the seriousness on his tone and adjusted the way she sat.
"What is it?" she put down the biscuit she's holding and stared at him with seriousness.
Lyndon got his phone and started to browse his brother's picture and showed it to her. She frowned and asked, "It's you. What about it?"
"Nope. It's not me."
"Huh?" she can't understand him. She wanted to confirm if she heard him wrong. To her, it was Lyndon.
"It's Leonard." he started.
"Who's he?" she asked. She didn't know why but the way he acted was like he seemed to have something to tell about the picture he showed to her.
"My twin but he already passed away." he said. There was sadness in his voice and a hint of anger. She looked at the man across her and he had that bitter smile.
With a deep sigh, he began to reminisc his memories about him and Leo. He paused after a long time and continued to relay what he was hiding deep within.
"Are you saying that it's not you?" she asked with disbelief. She couldn't believe that she was toyed by them just like that. She wanted to scream at him but she felt that it's pointless. She walked away from him and rushed to her room. She locked the door and slumped down behind it.
She really couldn't believe it that it was not Lyndon whom she met. He's not the man who hurt her. Not the man she confessed with her love. She felt conflicted. All this while, she's hating a different man.
'What to do now?' she asked in her mind.
Her phone rang and immediately picked it up.
Meanwhile, Lyndon remained seated at the living room with a solemn face. He wanted to stop Misha from walking out earlier but he did not do so because he felt that if he did that, she might hate him for real. And, a part of him said that she needed some time to things through. He picked up another slice of short cake but his phone rang so he picked it up and put down the delicacy.
