Chapter 46: Proposing to his love! (1)

After only taking a few bites, Vincent stopped and look at Leila.

"You have been looking after me all this time, but you forgot to take care of yourself. I believe you haven't eaten anything till now. Sit here, eat with me," Vincent said, sitting cross-legged on the bed to make a spot for Leila.

His words of care touched her heart, causing her cheeks to blush. The beautiful maiden shook her head, indicating that she didn't want to wat together with him. "You eat first. I will eat later," she said to clear any misunderstanding that her actions might have caused

"I insist," Vincent said as one of his hands reached out to grasp her wrist lightly, slowly guiding her to sit with him.

"I will do as you say," Leila said as she sat down near him.

"Open your mouth, don't be shy." Vincent positioned a spoon full of corn soup in front of her mouth. Leila reflexively opened her mouth, taking the soup into her mouth and down her throat, as she savored the flavor with closed eyes, a ruddy face, and a heart beating erratically.

'Why is he being like this? I am not a kid who needs to be fed. What's strange is that I am feeling happy and excited about it!' Leila internally exclaimed as she continued to be handfed by Vincent.

After a few moments, specks of violet glistened in her black eyes as she remembered something. Instantly, her mood soured.

"Why do I feel like you are angry?" Vincent asked.

"Hmph! Why did you take off your shirt and show off your body to the other girls?" She asked with a puffed face while looking at him with an ice cold glare. Vincent clearly noticed that she was jealous.

In the eyes of Vincent, she looked like a little hamster. Looking at her innocent face, Vincent felt that she looks really cute when she is jealous.

"Is that it? I was afraid that my shirt will tear as you know that it's made out of normal fabric. There was no other reason."

As soon as he said those words, Leila's mood brightened. He put his hands on Leila's face, feeling the warmth of his hand her eyes widened and she looked at him as her face became suffused with redness. Vincent thought that those eyes were bewitching and that it is too easy to please her as he looked at her reddening face.

Looking at the two lovebirds acting as if there is no tomorrow, Nevis almost choked. First off, he felt that it's kinda unfair that she is showing so many expressions to him, while he only got a cold reply. Secondly, he felt awestruck by her face blushed red.

To say the least, she could even more beautiful than before, so beautiful and cute that Nevis felt that he could keep on looking at her for seven days straight and still not feel tired.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Wash my hands," Leila replied with a mesmerizing smile. "I will be back soon."

"Ah, okay."

Thus, Leila rushed to the bathroom with a ruddy face and a fervent heart.

Nevis, on the other hand, licked his fingers and lips, as he finished devouring food meant for five peoples.

"Hey guys, I heard that my control over battle energy is the best amongst the examinee. Though I scored second. It seems like there's an examinee who is better than me. I wonder who it is," he said to his viewers.

"He is in the same room as you!" Peter said.

"It's you?" Nevis asked with a shocked expression as he looked at Peter.

Peter shook his head, indicating that he is not the one.

"He is the top-ranked examinee," Peter said as he pointed at Vincent.

"Eh? You're the one who scored the most in the test of titan's strength?!" Nevis blurted out without thinking.

"Yeah," Vincent replied casually.

"Wow, it must feel great to be the best amongst all the examinees of this city, right?" He asked.

"Not really," Vincent replied.

"Hey, is that girl your love interest?"

Nevis really wanted to know whether there is going on between them or not. If not, he will try to win her heart. If so, he didn't know what he will do.

"Nope," he said while looking at him.

"Then, I believe you won't mind if I chase after her, right? She is super cute and kind and almost looks like a fairy. Also knows how to look after someone else. She is the perfect wife material. Guys, I have found the love of my life," Nevis said to his live stream's viewers.

Immediately after, a lot of messages popped up on the semi-transparent screen floating in front of him.

Just as he was about to read the comments, Vincent's calm voice sounded in his ears.

"Forget about her," he said.

"Eh? Buddy, didn't you just say that she isn't your girlfriend? Why are you still–"

"I changed my mind. Keep your hands and eyes off her, otherwise be prepared to face deadly consequences." He said as his inky, black eyes glittered sharply.

Vincent planned to take it slow with Leila. He wanted to slowly develop their relationship. Taking one step at a time, becoming a couple in a few years or so. However, that was before Nevis came into the picture. His mere presence felt like a threat to Vincent and he decided to pick up the pace and admit that he like Leila and want to be more than just friends with her.

"I will be honest with you, I won't give up on a treasure she is just because I am threatened. I will show her how much I like her through my actions. I won't stop until she tells me to. I'll keep on pestering her with declarations of love no matter what happens, even if it means going against the best examinee." The eyes of Nevis showed determination as he spoke with an unhinged tone while looking at him.

Vincent teasingly smiled and stared right into his eyes. "You won't get the chance," he muttered.
