Chapter 46

Concern

***

Leila woke up the next day with a huge smile pasted on her lips. She was to the moon. She couldn’t contain her happiness – as she rolled side by side while embracing her pillow tightly.

Then, a loud thud resonated in her room – as she fell into her bed.

“Ouch! Damn!” She murmured under her breath – as she held her back.

However, she smiled like a lunatic. Even her back and butt were aching a bit – that didn’t make her frown or feel sad. In fact, she giggled at her crazy antics.

“My goodness’ Leila, you look like a sick puppy.” She commented – as she looked at herself in the mirror after picking herself up.

She let out a deep sigh – but her lips didn’t even change with a smile still lingering on it.

Damn!

She chuckled silently – as she looked away.“You and Hunter seem to be a bit… closer now, huh?” Myrtle tried to make it sound like she was striking a simple and friendly conversation – but she could sense playfulness in her tone of voice.She bit her lower lip as she felt her cheeks burned in embarrassment.Myrtle smiled at her genuinely. It was as if she knew what she was thinking about already. But Myrtle simply chuckled at that.“Hunter… He had been through a lot already. and I knew that you have discovered some of it. I just hope that this time, he wouldn’t get hurt.” Myrtle stated seriously – before looking back at her.She let out a deep sigh.“He has always been my closest friend. A brother.

She even had prepared some vegetable soup and berries tart.She let out another deep sigh – then, the plates suddenly went out from her hands. She looked back to see who it was – and it was Myrtle, who was smiling at her. She looked like she had been looking at her for a long time now.“I know that you are a bit disappointed.” She said the words lightly – as she placed the food in some container – so, the servant omegas could finally put it in the fridge.Then, she looked at her.“But this can’t be help, Leila.
