Chương 165: I'm not an overthinker, I'm just hoping for the best

Isabelle found herself staring up at Lyov's beautiful face for...

A little while.

Not...not too long!

She was just looking, appreciating his lovely face and...everything she saw there.

Until the soft smile got too infected with the sparkling amusement in his pretty green eyes.

She puffed out her cheeks and looked away then, cheeks turning pink. "I...ah. Yes, of course. I'd love to drink with you, Lyov. You don't even have to ask."

His fingers traced soft patterns on her cheek that she couldn't identify. The touch made her shiver in a pleasant kind of way.

"Do you know, the way the snow looks outside just now...it makes me think of you, Isabelle."

"...Eh?" She tilted her head curiously, brow furrowed slightly as she considered his words. "The snow...reminds you of me?"

"Beautiful, pure, gentle, peaceful and quiet...like freshly fallen snow. Yes. I believe it does."
