章 251: Dream World

As the evening wore on and the delicious aroma of dinner began to fade, Liliana took it upon herself to clean up in the cozy kitchen. She stood at the sink, her hands submerged in soapy water, carefully washing the dishes with a sense of contentment. The warm, soft glow of the kitchen's lighting danced upon her features, giving her an almost ethereal appearance.

Unbeknownst to Liliana, Leo had quietly entered the kitchen and approached her from behind. With a gentle, playful motion, he slipped his arms around her waist and drew her closer, his presence a delightful surprise. Liliana gasped in mild shock, her body tensing for an instant before she recognized the familiar touch.

Turning around, she found herself face to face with Leo. Her cheeks flushed a deep shade of red, and her heart quickened as she met his gaze. However, she made no move to remove his hands, allowing herself to be held by him.
