True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1563

Ernest stood there speechless once more. Leah's words always kept him on his toes, and he could never calm down when she was around.

However, Leah tilted her head to look at him, and he couldn't ignore her inquisitive eyes. Ernest wanted to deny what she said very much.

Alas, Leah was certain that it was as Grace said.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is it so hard to answer my question? It's not like I'm speaking some alien language. To be honest with you, I actually heard what your mom said." Leah smiled at Ernest as she spoke.

Ernest blushed as red as a tomato. No matter how many defenses he had, he was sure that Leah's boldness would bulldoze through them.

She was very cunning as well.

Ah, Leah was such a fox!

She'd clearly heard his conversation, but she pretended like she didn't. She made a fool out of him, and he felt very helpless.

Leah was surprised and a little bit regretful after seeing Ernest's blushing face.

She had been too bold to try and force Ernest to tell her his innermost thoughts, so she felt sheepish when he blushed.

Perhaps she had been too invasive, and Ernest didn't know how to answer her.

However, she was still rather excited even when she was upset. Why was Ernest blushing?

He must have some sort of feelings for her.

Leah felt that she shouldn't give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ask Ernest about this, so she said, "Why are you blushing?"

Ernest's face became redder, and he felt very awkward. However, he recovered quickly and looked over at Leah with a trace of exasperation in his eyes. "Leah, are you always this straightforward?"

She made him want to stick his head in the sand like an ostrich.

Leah nodded without hesitation. "Is it straightforward? I'm just saying that your mom suspects that I am your girlfriend. With your stuttering, it seems to me that you feel attacked. Is it so hard to answer her question? It's not like she's asking if I've slept with you or not."

Ernest became alarmed.

He stared at Leah for a long while before saying, "You're not my girlfriend. We're just friends."

Ernest believed that his words might force the straightforward Leah to tell him about her thoughts.

However, he neglected to take into account Leah's capacity for shyness as well.

She had not reached the point where she could directly confess her love to him.

In fact, Leah's chest tightened when she heard these words. She felt an inexplicable sense of disappointment.

She knew that she wouldn't be able to get Ernest to confess by force.

She thought that Ernest may have had some feelings for her, but it seems that she thought too much into the situation.

Ernest was not very interested in her at all. Hence, it made Leah a little depressed and annoyed.

Ah, some questions should have remained unasked.

Leah smiled and felt much more relaxed. She said to him, "Eat. If you don't, it'll get cold."

She obviously didn't want to continue the topic as it would make her sad.

Ernest decided to do the same after seeing the smile on her face, but he found her smile to be a little stiff.

Tension suddenly filled the air.

A thought flashed through Ernest's mind. Was Leah mad?

He carefully looked at Leah who was eating silently. She was so near, and yet she felt so far away.

After a moment's pause, Ernest said, "My mom knows that you're sick, and she asked me to stay. I can take care of you."

Leah nodded. "I heard it. Your mom is really nice."

Ernest was confused and he scratched at the nape of his neck. Leah seemed very cold and disinterested.

"Thanks. She really is." Ernest smiled helplessly at Leah.

"I can tell. Don't you have anything else to do for the rest of the day?"

"Yup, I don't. You still sound quite nasally and hoarse, so how about this? Let's go to the hospital and hook you up to a drip. A few days of that will do you good, and you'll be fully recovered in no time. What do you think?"

"You want me to get an IV drip? The doctor said I can't get one if I don't have a fever." Leah frowned as she refused.
