บท 264: Let's go sailing!

Aleksis had been in his house for a week and their relationship had become closer, especially since they spent a lot of time in the library reading and working together. The girl no longer felt reluctant to ask questions about her savior.

She was curious because she had not seen his family; not even a photo on the wall of the house.

"Uhm... Where is your family, Big brother?" Aleksis asked, observing the various books on the shelves. She tried to make her questions sound as casual as possible. "Are they abroad?"

The young man, whose face always looked so gentle, was suddenly surrounded by a dark aura. Aleksis immediately regretted asking him about his family; it seemed to inflict a wound on her savior's heart.

"I have no family," he replied, unwilling to prolong the conversation. He again busied himself with his laptop and paid no attention to Aleksis.
