Chapter 5

The house was dark. Leonore did not turn on the light and sat alone in the darkness.

It was as if she had broken down and cried countless times in the dark night before, her beloved gently held her in his arms and comforted her with a gentle voice.

With a click, the sight suddenly became bright.

The girl instinctively closed her eyes and slowly adapted to the cold white light.

However, she heard Hamish unpleasantly question why she did not turn on the lights.

She did not answer, just stared at his left chest with a daze after her eyes adapted to the light.

Dear, if you knew that the person who carried your heart now bullies me like this, you would be very angry, right?

But it's okay, I will definitely fulfill your wish and keep your heart beating vividly.

Hamish felt uncomfortable. He hated this kind of look from Leonore the most, as if she was looking through him at someone else.

However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, he disdainfully put it behind his mind and sneered in his heart.

Everyone thought that Leonore loved him deeply, so how could she possibly look for the shadow of someone else in him?

But it was just him thinking too much.

Thinking of this, the man walked to me and took out a box somewhat awkwardly.

Leonore was taken aback for a moment, and her thoughts instantly returned.

She saw Hamish take out a gold necklace from it and throw it into her arms like a piece of trash, saying, "It's just a broken silver necklace. Do you care so much? I bought you a new one, so don't wear that one anymore."

After speaking, he paused for a moment before continuing hesitantly. "Sarah was wrong about what happened today, but you shouldn't be like a fool and just go straight into the cage. Have you forgotten that you are most afraid of dogs?"

Leonore gave an emotionless smile.

He did not remember when he forced me into the dog cage, but now he remembered that I had a traumatic experience with dogs?

Who was he pretending to be so affectionate for?

Seeing her did not say anything, he thought she was still angry and unconsciously was about to lose his temper.

However, seeing the scars on her exposed arms, he could not help but soften his temper.

Even he himself did not expect that he would put the necklace on her himself, and he was very careful not to hurt her.

Looking at her slender white neck, which seemed to be easily broken, he inexplicably felt that his softest spot had been poked.

But before he could put the necklace on her neck, he suddenly heard a clear sound, followed by a slight numbness in his arm.

Leonore actually slapped his hand away and rejected his kindness?

She sat up straight, moved away from the man, and said in a distant tone, "I'm sorry, I don't like other people's things."

Her whole body was tense, giving off an aura that said "keep away from strangers".

He was taken aback for a moment, but later realized her disdain, and a look of shame and anger appeared on his face.

"Leonore, you're not going to stop even if I treat you well, right? Who are you pretending to be so hypocritical for?"

He was panicked for a moment. It was not like he had never quarreled with Leonore before, and it was not like he had never humiliated her before.

But all of that was to test whether Leonore truly loved him. Every time he softened, she would reconcile with him, gently lying on his chest and listening to the strong beating of his heart.

Why was the usual situation changing now?

The panic disappeared in an instant, and Hamish arbitrarily attributed it to her still playing a tantrum.

He had already humbled himself, so what else did she want?
