章 50: Hope

"What are you doing?" Her silky voice pleased his ears because it was not a response he had expected at all. She sounded coy as her cheeks turned into a beautiful shade of pink. Almost flirty, prompting the young lad to run his fingers down her cheeks, completely forgotten about the tears that were once there.

Drawn in by her kittenish manner, even though he knew that this was not how she would normally behave, Frederick followed the tone of the settings.

"Checking if this is real."

"Okay." Her reply was short but her action was huge as she pulled him in and gave him a cuddle.

But Frederick knew... Right from the start when things went weird, he knew and yet, he wanted to deny! He wanted to savour the moment and now he had gone too greedy to go back!

"Can you please prove to me this is real, please," he hushed into her ears. His eyes instantly pooled as he inhaled her scent.
