Chapter 452


    Failing to dodge in time, I was kissed by Eric once more. Fortunately, he merely gave me a light peck o


    n the lips like a dragonfly flitting over water without lingering this time around.


    “I’m now energetic again!” As Eric said this, he started up the stairs again with me in his arms. In the en


    d, he actually climbed the remaining 100 over steps while carrying me. I persuaded him to put me down


    several times during the climb, but he refused to do so.


    I’ve now truly experienced the depth of this guy’s pride. Anyone would be exhausted to carry someone


    weighing almost 100 pounds for such a long distance, but he didn’t give up. He must be dead beat, sw


    eat dripping off his face and panting like an old steam engine, but still, he pushed through just because


    he’d made such a promise. Such a person isn’t just remarkable, but also a smidge terrifying!


    As we sat at thending, sympathy inevitably welled within me when I glimpsed the sweat dotting his fo


    rehead, and I unconsciously reached out to wipe it for him. Out of the blue, he extended a hand and gr


    abbed mine, his jet–ck eyes pinned intently on me. “Lilian.”


    “Hmm?”


    “I like you.” His voice was a touch husky, sounding incredibly sexy.


    At this, I could hear my heart beating like a drum. He said that he missed mest night, but I didn’t take


    it to heart, thinking that it was drunken rambling. Now, however, he was right before me, staring at me t


    enderly with his alluring eyes and iming that he liked me.


    It’d be a lie if I were to say that I wasn’t delighted, for no woman would possibly rebuff a man like Eric,


    myself included. Nheless, I didn’t know how to respond to him. His gaze was too gentle, so I guiltily


    averted my eyes out of fear that I’d melt under his assault.


    However, he grabbed my chin and repeated, “Lilian, I said I like you!”


    “I heard you.”


    “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

    “What should I say?” I foolishly asked him in return. “Are you tired?”


    “What a dumb woman! You’re truly a wet nket!” He then chortled. Releasing his hold on my chin, he


    took my hand instead and pulled me up before walking over to the top of the tower to look down at the


    night view.


    St


    It was night now, so neon lights lit up


    thendscape, rendering it a dazzling sight. As the entire city wasid out before my eyes, I couldn’t hel


    p eximing softly, “What a beautiful sight!”


    “You’re really an easily satisfied woman.” Standing behind me, Eric naturally wrapped his arms around


    me. Such an intimate gesture had me somewhat difited, but i didn’t spurn him.


    Subsequently, we both enjoyed the night view silently. After a long while, Eric broke the silence. “Lilian,


    I’ll apany you to Waldspirale tomorrow.”


    “What about Jenny?” I instinctively asked.


    “I’m having her return tomorrow.”


    “So quickly? I’ll miss her greatly.”


    “Isn’t it nice to have me apany you?”


    “I don’t want yourpany!”


    “You’re so heartless! I’ve been so good to you, yet you’re so mean! My heart is shattered!”


    “How glib!” I shot him a re. “Oh yes, what did you say to the cathedral’s caretaker earlier? It doesn’t


    make sense that he allowed us in when the ce is closed.”


    “Do you want to know?”
