My Blood 284

Leon fell silent, and his deep eyes fixed intently on Jessica, lost in thought

Jessica didn’t disturb him either

She knew he was feeling wronged again

Nine yearsUltimately, it is all my fault. I’d led him astray for nine long years. If I hadn’t told him back then i’d marry him when I grew up, would he stil be so hung up on me all these years?Jessica wondered, a trace of guilt flickering in her heart

Yet, a question still lingered in Jessica’s mind

I rememberthat fire. It was terrifying. I truly believed I’d die in the flames. It was so dangerous, and we didn’t even know each other at that time. Why did you charge into the flames to save me?she asked, her voice full of confusion

Of course, it wasn’t that she doubted his words. For someone of his status, saving her wasn’t worth it

He was a prince, noble by birth, while she was merely the daughter of a court official

To her surprise, Leon chuckled softly

Jessica frowned. What’s so funny?” 

Leon remained silent, simply placing the empty cup on the side table. He had finished drinking his coffee

Jessica stood up and refilled his cup. As she offered it to him, Leon took the cup with one hand while his other large palm firmly enclosed hers

Jessica instinctively tugged her hand, but when he held on, her brows knitted. I’m grateful to you, andI don’t dislike you,she said hesitantly, but it’s not proper for a man and a woman to be this close.” 

Leon chuckled, You kissed me when you were little, but you’d forgotten about it.” 

What nonsense are you talking about?Jessica exclaimed, her face flushing crimson

To her surprise, Leon’s handsome face flushed even deeper

Jessica could see a flush spreading down his neck in an instant

Overcome with curiosity, Jessica instinctively reached out and removed Leon’s mask

Sure enough, his face was flushed crimson

Is he blushing?Jessica wondered in disbelief

Leon downed the coffee in one gulp, set the cup aside, and lifted his gaze to Jessica, who stood awkwardly before him

Leon grinned and said, Back then, you were just over a year old. You came to the palace with your mother to visit my mother. You were still toddling on your unsteady legs, yet you threw yourself into my arms and even planted a kiss on me.” 

Nonsense!Jessica exclaimed. Why would I kiss you out of the blue?” 

Besides, who remembers anything from when they were one? With my mom gone, you could make up any story you want. No one could prove otherwise, thought Jessica

Leon’s eyes twinkled with amusement. It’s true,he said. Later, I kept wondering why you kissed me the moment you saw me. After much deliberation I could only come up with one reason.” 

Chapter 284 

Though Jessica didn’t quite belleve him, she couldn’t help asking, And what reason is that 

I’m just too handsome for you to resist.” 

Jessica was speechless. The atidacity! Where does he get this confidence from?thought Jessica

Leon gently squeezed her hand and asked, So, is there anyone more handsome than me among all the men you’ve ever met?” 

Her little hand is still just as soft and squishy as when she was a child, almost boneless. It’s just so comforting to hold, thought Leon

Leon snorted dismissively. Don’t even mention someone like Waldo. He can’t hold a candle to me.” 

Your Highness,Jessica mocked, haven’t you heard? When confidence goes too far, it becomes arrogant.” 

You’re calling me Your Highnessagain,Leon teased, but wasn’t upset. After all, he’d been holding her hand the whole time, and she hadn’t pulled 

away

He was in an excellent mood

Jessica stared at him for a long moment before finally asking softly, SoIs that why you rushed in without regard for your own life when you knew I was in danger?” 

Leon chuckled. So, you finally believe me?” 

Beneath his smile, Jessica glimpsed a trace of weary sorrow, a heaviness shaped by the years

It turned out that they had known each other a very, very long time ago

He has no reason to deceive me,Jessica thought. I have no reason to doubt him anymore.‘ 

For them, surviving that inferno together had been the greatest blessing of their lives

She thought, A man who would have died for me. His actions have spoken volumes

Actions speak louder than words. Why would he lie?‘
