Chapter 157 - lexicon

After Seraphina consumed the tea, a female servant knocks on the door.

"Master, the breakfast is served." She courtly informed without opening the door.

"Bring it in." Though his voice wasn't loud enough in Seraphina's opinion, she was amazed by the keen ears of his servants when they brought an exquisite serving trolley with a variety of heavenly dishes on it.

"Woah…" Seraphina was in awe as little servings were placed on the round small table. Dragon gestured the female maid to leave which they followed after bowing their heads in respect.

"I caught a big fish, indeed." Seraphina humor as her gaze scans the mouth-watering breakfast. It reminds her of her days when she was at the Yue family mansion -- her grandfather always prepares a grand feast whenever she visits him.

Without further ado, Seraphina started ravishing the food that's in front of her. Her poise was forgotten as she acts like what she usually does with her disguise. After all, it is best to eat when she had hangover -- it helps her lessen the pain. Dragon as composed as he was, didn't mind her lacks of table manners and ate as well.

After their meal ended, out of nowhere, Dragon brought up a pack full of medicines then shoved it to her. Since Seraphina was in a good mood and knows what those medicines for, she took them without questions.

"Last night… do you remember?" he inquired as he taps his finger on top of the table, patiently waiting for her response. Alas, Seraphina's eyes dilate when she remembers something.

"My keys! My phone! My wallet!" she unconsciously yelp.

"I got them." Dragon nonchalantly answers.

Seraphina sighs in relief. After all, after drinking so hard last night, the one thing that a person can be relieved after is not losing the essential things of her daily life.

"You are so reliable." Seraphina murmurs in between her relieve sighs. Dragon kept silent as he gazes her intently.

Actually, he wanted to ask her a lot of things such as: who is she? Why does she cling to him? What does she wants and so on. However, probably due to the myriad of questions he wanted to ask, he doesn't know where to start.

If she was a traitor or an enemy, he won't be too kind to get the answer in a proper way -- it will always be the hard way. Alas, for some reason, he doesn't want to scare her off despite the fact that she has terrifying skills.

Seeing that the man with oozing great looks staring at her, Seraphina tilts her head in confusion. Her expression was as if the drunken girl last night was just one's figment of imagination. She looks innocent and pure no matter how he stares at her.

"Uh, don't look at me like that." Seraphina frowns seeing that he was just mindlessly staring at her. Somehow, she felt self-conscious before this beautiful man.

"Why not?"

"Hehe. you're seducing me." Seraphina lied, tampering the fact that she was insecure under his investigative gaze. Alas, unbeknownst to her, she was digging her own grave -- or rather, she was banging a great towering wall around his heart with a wrecking ball.

Dragon's expression immediately darkens. What annoyed him is the fact that this girl likes spatting flowery words without considering the other party. But the fact that this girl is a wild one, he could not help but wonder if she was always like this to others as well.

"It seems you're fine now." With that note, Dragon leisurely stood from his seat -- preparing to leave. He was afraid that if he stayed a little longer, she might attack him with her cheesy pick-up lines or worst, she would harass him to death.

Though he must admit that the girl made an impression to him, he was unwilling to give in or even fully trust her. After all, the narrow world he was in is rather complicated and trusting a stranger is too soon for him to do -- but part of him wants her company.

Seraphina watched him leave while cupping her cheeks. Seeing that she was not a bit curious or any little disheartened of leaving her -- before dragon knew it, he spoke.

"I'm leaving."

"Alright, take care!" She merrily nods with a bright smile. Dragon glances at her for the last time before uttering the impossible,

"Be good." with that last note, he left entirely. Though its best that she didn't ask him where he was going or why is he leaving, part of him still wants her to be curious about him because he was very interested with her.

This tag of war of being interested and restraining himself to admire the girl even more is exhausting him.

-----

When Dragon left, Seraphina sighs in relief. It was good that he evacuate because she doesn't know what will she do to that beauty if he stayed any longer. Alas, his last remarks made a mischievous smile on her lips.

"Hehe. Hubby, I'll do my best to behave even if it doesn't exist in my lexicon."
