==================
"Of course, I will protect you in the absence of my father. He had brought you here as he had promised your well being to your dying father.
And as his heir, it is my responsibility to fulfil the promises he had made. I can not see him getting disappointed with me and my aunt who was at fault this time." he looked away as her eyes that were sparkling a few moments ago, dimmed.
He felt a pang of guilt, but he did not let go of the possibility that she was not a commoner but an informator who had come here to harm his family.
"Are you done?" His cold voice stunned her.
She did not know why she felt a bit disappointed when he told her that she was only his responsibility because of his father. Her face dimmed and she turnd silent after that, just nodding her head a little.
But when she heard him bossing around in his cold tone, she glared at him fiercely.
"Bring me a shirt from the closet." he instructed her as he saw a glare, finally his mind felt at ease.
"Why would i? Ask your maids?" she retorted back. If he would have asked politely, she would have helped him. But why was he bossing her around again?
"Did you not just feel guilty because of my pain?" he raised a brow as he looked at her, folding her hands and snorting at him.
'This girl was really going brave this time!' yet his eyes softened when he saw her getting irritated again. His own expressions losing with her.
"And you told me that it is your responsibility to keep me safe. More than your father, you need me to act and follow your tasks all the time, so you can not bear to lose me.`` The smug smile on her face was so adoring that Leo wanted to pinch her cheeks and not leave her until tears formed in her eyes.
"But since you are so polite to me. I will do this favour to you." he blinked when he heard that and his gaze instinctively fell on his hands that were already halfway through touching her.
His eyes turned a shade darker when he realised that she was affecting him the way no one had ever done! But her ambiguous past was keeping him chained with his nonchalance towards her.
"Ohh.. you both should have closed the door. You know I am still a child.`` Eve closed her eyes with her fingers while keeping a good space between her fingers to peek at them. Her giggles brought them out of their initial shock,
Evan blinked! Finally she realised that their posture was too intimate. He was lying on the bed without his shirt and she was bending over while her both hands were on his bare back and waist. But she promised that she had only held him so that she could apply medicine. There was no other motive.
But Why did it feel like they were doing adult things when Eve looked at them. Heat rose on her face as she realised what she was indicated at and she shook her head like a rattle drum,
"What are you saying? I was just helping him!!" she tried to explain but it only made Eve giggle harder.
"Yes! Yes! Every man needs a beautiful girl's help. Next time just keep the door closed, alright. I am doing you a favour this time!" she replied with a red face as she turned and closed the door with a thud. The sound of her laughing hard could still be heard in the silent room.
Stunned, Evan finally came back to her senses and moved away as if her body was scalded suddenly.
She was aghast with the words of Eve but then it turned into a glare towards Leo.
"Why have you not explained to her?" she asked in an accusing tone and his gaze flickered.
He did not stop her because he was enjoying her words. The way, Evan flustered! And looked at him. Did the girl only realise at that time they were in an intimate position!? How could she be so naive?
Suddenly he turned and held her both hands. Evan who still had a knee bent on the bed and was standing on a leg only was not expecting him moving so suddenly.
Her eyes widened and a shriek left her lips when she disbalanced and fell on the bed while he was above her, holding both of her hands.
His bare chest was touching her chest and his legs were on both sides of her legs. She tried to sit up but she could not even move even an inch due to his tight grip on her wrists.
So all she could do was glare.
"What are you doing? Are you" out of your mind' she wanted to ask but his darken eyes were looking so scary that the words died in her mouth. She gulped and fear started to replace her rage. Their position was too intimate and they were alone in the room. Even when she screamed just now, no one came in and his strength was too much for her to fight against.
"My lord. You can not force me to do anything. I am not that type of girl. So," she tried her best to explain in words that did not hurt his ego or gain his anger further but she did not know how to continue it without calling him a lusty pervert!?
She never knew that Leo was one of them! She had always felt that he was a gentleman!
"Tell me! How do you know bandaging so well?" what he meant to ask how many men she had helped in bandaging but he was too embarrassed to ask it directly.
"Because i had helped many in bandaging their wounds!" Did she did it so poorly that he was angry and holding her like that. She looked at him with confusion when he asked
"Men or women?"
