章 228: Questions

Esme's wary expression dropped at his words. She always thought she had exceptional hearing. She did not expect him to be like that. 

She glanced at him suspiciously but his face did not give anything away. 

Before she could ask another question, there were knocks on the door. 

Aleister snapped his fingers and the door was opened. 

The two sturdy men stepped inside first holding an exquisite round table and two chairs. The beautiful gold vine carvings on it caught her attention a bit before she glanced at the maids who started arranging food on the table which was set beside the window. 

Soon, more maids entered the room and in the blink of an eye, the table was filled with various dishes. 

Esme did not know whether it was because this was heaven but she felt like even the water was sparkling or maybe it was because of how ruffled she was.
