Chapter 650: Chapter 642: Silly Girl

Leo Joyce asked cautiously, "Tiana, please forgive me?"

Tiana Grayson steadied her wildly trembling heart. "Leo," she said, her voice cool and distant, "let go of me."

"..." For some reason, upon hearing Tiana’s words, a wave of intense fear washed over him.

Terrified of what she might say, his face went pale. He rushed to say, "I’ve had too much to drink tonight, and I was in a car accident... my head’s not clear, and I’m exhausted. So let’s not talk about this right now. Let’s just rest, okay?"

’Too much to drink? Head’s not clear? So, he’s only saying these things because he’s drunk?’

’Then again, it made sense. It’s been five years. How could she expect him to be as devoted as she was?’

’When she left, she knew he was going to Noridia to find Amelia. So she shouldn’t be sad now. There was nothing to be sad about.’

’This was how things were always meant to be.’

’She was the one who couldn’t stop herself from falling for Leo Joyce. To end up like this... how should she put it? Four words: she had it coming.’

’Yes. For things to turn out this way... she had it coming.’

When Tiana didn’t answer, Leo Joyce, terrified she would refuse him and leave, let her go. He strode to the door, shut it, and locked it. Before Tiana could react, he bent down and swept her into his arms.

Just as he placed Tiana on the bed, his head suddenly felt incredibly heavy. He simply gave in, collapsing on top of her.

Tiana Grayson’s eyes widened in surprise. She pushed at Leo Joyce twice, but he was a dead weight she couldn’t move. Finally, she gave up and resigned herself to sleeping in that position.

’Even though she was pinned, at least she could look at him a little longer, stay by his side for just a little while more.’

’Just a little longer,’ she thought. ’That’s all I need.’

’For all these years, she had only been able to see him on a screen. Now that he was here in the flesh, a warmth spread through her heart despite everything.’

She gently wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her cheek against his. Closing her eyes, she took in his embrace, his scent... everything about him.

She usually suffered from insomnia and it would take her a long, long time to fall asleep. But tonight, with him by her side, she drifted off in moments.

She fell into a beautiful, beautiful dream.

In the dream, Leo was so, so gentle with her. So gentle it made her want to cry.

She had missed his gentle embrace so much. In the dream, she saw Leo lying beside her, and with a smile, she snuggled into his arms, holding him tight.

Seeing her like this, Leo Joyce couldn’t help but smile and boop her on the nose. "Silly girl."

She blushed and turned her head away, not daring to look at him. She was afraid that a Leo this gentle would make her lose herself in the dream, never wanting to wake up.

Leo Joyce smiled dotingly. He gently turned her face back toward him and chuckled, his tone teasing and a little roguish. "Still so shy, even now."

"..." His words made her face flush an even deeper red, and she pulled the blanket up to hide it.

Seeing this, Leo Joyce stopped teasing her.

Tiana Grayson curled into a ball, sobbing softly. "SOB... Why... why... why does even a dream have to be so...?"
