章 268: Reasons ???: Run and Rescue (5)

".... can you promise me to stay here until I return?" 

"huh?" she tilted her head thinking how strange it was for him to ask that question. 

[oh, maybe he thinks I might do something dangerous on my own again.] 

The girl thought since he had been tasked to protect her after all. 

[Seriously, how reckless does he think I am? I'm not some wild child.]

"OK. Don't worry. I won't step out from this place until you return." She answered nonchalantly. 

Though unwilling to be apart from his maiden, he said, "I'll be back as soon as possible." then left with haste. 

"oh... how sweet," Lotty said in envy. "My lady is really lucky to have such a caring lover. He was even worried about leaving my lady alone. Ah~ I wish I could find someone who would love me that much too." 

"Oh no. no." Ivy waved her hands and denied, "Mr. Liam is my bodyguard. He was just worried about my safety."
