"Then how about you drop here and et closer to my house. You have seen my house, right?"
Leo raised her head and looked at the anxious girl with grim eyes. Why did she want to go alone? Did she not want him to co with her all this ti then why was so desperate to be alone now?
Could it be that she did not want to be seen with him or could it be that she wanted to et soone without letting him know? No matter what the reason was, he felt annoyed that she wanted to go alone.
His eyes turned darker and his face turned grim but oblivious to his thoughts, the girl thought that he was getting irritated because she had disturbed him in his work by looking at his grim eyes.
"Stop the carriage!" Just when she thought that she should take her words back, his cold voice resonated in the closed walls of the carriage.
The carriage soon ca to a halt but the man did not not stop staring at her with that glum face that she did not know that he wanted to look at her that way.
"Why are you still sitting there?" he asked in an irritated voice as he closed the files in his hands with a snap.
"Ah, yes! I apologize." she hurriedly opened the door and walked out of the carriage. Once down, she turned to tell him that she would et him in front of her house after a while so he need not worry. But just when she turned, her eyes widened to see the man standing in front of her in such close proximity.
Her big animated eyes t his dark and soulful one and she staggered a step back. He raised a brow as her expression and she closed her parted lips.
'Could he not give a warning before standing behind her? What was he, a ghost? Did he not know the aning of personal space?'
"Why are you still standing here?" he asked as he started walking towards the houses she was looking at with longing eyes and she frowned.
"What do you an?" Did he not have work? Then why was he there, on the road, walking ahead of her?'
"You are slower than the snail. I have already told you to lose weight if you are having trouble walking at this age. I wonder how you will manage when you will give birth to the kids and be old?" Just the words left his mouth, an image of her running behind a cute little girl who was giggling and teasing her flashed past his eyes and he turned stiff for a second, before starting walking normally again but his eyes were still glowing with that thought.
Evan, who was still standing behind him, did not notice the change in him but fud when he called her fat! This was not the first ti that he had called her fat.
Her face darkened and she fud as she took hasty steps towards her. Soon, she overtook him and stood in front of him with her puffed cheeks!
He raised a brow as he looked at her red face that was fuming yet she was looking too adorable.
"Just look here?" she pointed her hands at her waist and then bellowed, "do you even see an ounce of extra fat here? I am well maintained and slim. I do not have an extra ounce of weight, since I have worked all my life in fields and walked instead of taking carriages. Hmph!" she blurted in a bit of anger as he did not stop to call her fat all this ti.
But when she looked at him, her body turned stiff. There was sothing wrong with the way he was looking at her. His pupil had shrunk and his face had turned rigid.
Leo was just passing a sarcastic comnt but he had not thought that she would stand like that in front of him and asked him to stare at her waist.
His eyes instinctively fell down her face and could see the lace work on her neck area that was almost transparent. He tried to shift his gaze away but her curvaceous body kept his eyes bound on her body.
His eyes were still lowered on body until she stopped shouting at him and only then did he move his gaze away from her body to her fierce eyes.
Till then his face had turned warm and his face had turned due to heat. His eyes had swirled, with whirlpools.
Her puffed up cheeks turned into a frown when she noticed that the man was behaving strangely. He seed like he was being suffocated by sothing.
"I didn't an to shout. But then you keep calling fat!" she did not want to face him head on. What if he took it personally and took revenge on her later. Since he was a petty man.
She took his facial expressions as anger but she did not move away but continued to stand while staring at his face with her innocent eyes and pleading face.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his soulful eyes whirled. Then he finally turned away with his throat run dry and spoke in a hoarse voice,
"Yes, you have a good figure. But you do not need to show it to n like that." before Evan could open her mouth and ask what was wrong. She lowered her eyes and looked where he was staring before and she stilled.
The air seed to have frozen around them. She continued to stand there for a few seconds like her legs had turned stone and she could not even breathe loudly.
After a few seconds, she finally ca back to her senses and her eyes turned red. She pointed her finger at his face and asked in an indignant voice,
"Why... Why were you staring at ?"
