Chapter 272 272:A Proper Date[II]
Not entirely convinced by her quick answer, Leon pointed at another ride. "How about that one?"
"It\'s fine too," Sophia said.
Leon pointed to another ride nearby. "What about that one?"
Sophia nodded again. "That\'s okay too."
"Everything\'s okay?" Leon asked, surprised.
Sophia nodded, her face lit up with excitement.
"What are you? A little small kid who is visiting an amusement park for the first time."
Sophia puffed her cheeks, answering in a grumbling voice,"The place where I grew up didn\'t have rides."
Leon, who was pulling Sophia, almost slipped and snapped his head with bewilderment.
\'What the hell? Did she grow up in the middle of the ocean or desert?\'
Leon suppressed his intrusive thought to hit her head.
Just then, he noticed several gazes and saw people looking at them weirdly.
"Haha! My girlfriend is a bit funny. She is joking," chuckling a bit, Leon squeezed Sophia\'s arms.
"Isn\'t it?"
"No, I am speak…"
Leon put his palm on her lips.
Leon chuckled, "Well, I guess you\'re enjoying this place as much as I am so you are in on the joke."
Feeling that Sophia didn\'t seem to hate the park and was in a good mood, Leon gently took her wrist and led her to the nearest ride.
"UHMM…I…aM Not JoKin!"
"Well then, why don\'t we try all of them?"
...
Sophia screamed in fear as the roller coaster rushed forward. Leon, noticing her distress, reached out to comfort her.
"It\'s okay, Sophia," he reassured her, his voice steady despite the chaos around them. "I\'m here with you. Just hold on tight."
Sophia gripped his hand tightly, finding solace in his presence. As the ride continued, Leon kept talking to her, distracting her from her fear with light conversation and jokes.
By the time the roller coaster slowed to a stop, Sophia was breathing heavily but smiling. "Thanks, Leon," she said, grateful for his support.
"No problem," Leon replied with a smile. "Let\'s go find another ride, shall we?"
Hearing this Sophia\'s steps faltered and she gave Leon a grievous look as if she had been long which made Leon chuckle.
"Come on Sophia, you are already a Martial Emperor.."
"No..I..."
Leon didn\'t give time for Sophia to react and pulled him to another dangerous grave ride.
"AHHHHHHHH!"
Soon, all it echoed was Leon\'s joyful laughter and Sophia\'s terrified scream.
....
Sophia always found herself on edge, constantly worrying about various aspects of her life.
However, when she was with Leon, it was like a weight lifted off her shoulders. His blunt and crude demeanor was a stark contrast to her own, yet she found comfort in his frankness.
Despite his rough exterior, she saw a warmth in him that drew her closer.
During their previous dates, Sophia couldn\'t help but crave more for him but the time they spent had always been cut short and interrupted by some annoying flies.
She found herself falling for him more with each passing day, even though he might not express his affection.
Leon looked down at Sophia, "You seem tense, Sophia. Everything alright?"
"Huh! Really, "Sophia freaked out and slapped her cheeks lightly
Leon chuckled and said "Well, forget about worry for now. Let\'s enjoy our time together."
Sophia smiled, feeling a sense of relief wash over her as Leon\'s words grounded her in the present moment.
Their dates were often simple yet meaningful, filled with honest conversations and shared experiences.
Whether they were walking in the park, grabbing a bite to eat, or simply enjoying each other\'s company at home, Sophia cherished every moment spent with Leon.
He just came abruptly and grabbed her to park. After running around, the two sat on a bench in the park, watching a couple nearby engage in affectionate gestures as both of them licked ice cream and then one another.
Sophia, feeling embarrassed, muttered softly, "They look so happy, don\'t they?"
"I guess."
Sophia gave Leon a skeptical glance"You don\'t think so?"
Leon scratched his chin, "I just don\'t get why they gotta be all over each other in public. I wouldn\'t find it surprising if the next moment they started doing it in a public toilet or hiding in some bushes."
"Sheesh!"Sophia shouted and hit Leon glaring at him but her cheeks had heated up to become red in public.
Then like a quivering mosquito, Sophia\'s voice emerged "It\'s just their way of showing love, I suppose."
"Hmm."
"Do you ever think about us like that?"
"Cough...Cough..."
Leon choked seeing Sophia smile"I am a man, Sophia, I do have certain fantasies.."
Sophia muttered, "Well, I think about us being happy together, like them."
Then leaning forward, she whispered into Leon\'s ears making him tingle.
"Tell me...I will make sure to fulfill your fantasies tonight."
"Yeah?"Leon started
"Yeah. Even if we\'re not as... affectionate in public still...," she wasn\'t able to finish her words as her cheeks heated up like ripened tomatoes.
Seeing this, Leon lifted her "As long as you\'re happy, Sophia. That\'s what matters."
Sophia smiles, feeling reassured by Leon\'s Sophia puts her head on Leon\'s shoulder.
...
Sophia and Leon had a scrumptious meal in a nearby hotel but by the time they ordered the dessert, Sophia\'s tender voice echoed.
"Leon, I will be preparing dessert with my own hands."
"Huh!" Leon\'s spoon almost slipped when he heard this.
However, before he could reply, Sophia asked curiously, "Are we spending the night here?"
"No!"Leon shook his head.
"The hotel is dangerous..."
Leon\'s eyes twinkled due to the emergence of an unsavory memory.
It was one unforgettable night for him when he found an annoying asshole putting shady videos of him.
He didn\'t want to check and break things if he found hidden cams.
No, why waste time uselessly when he had means of his own?
After dinner, Leon took Sophia\'s hands and walked on the road.
"I have already prepared a place. Just follow me."
Holding Leon\'s hands, Sophia stepped in, and in the next second, the world before her blurred and changed making her bewildered.
While a joyous atmosphere prevailed between Leon and Sophia, outside the place.
Two anonymous figures hiding in the shadows freaked out.
"Damn! They were walking straight...How did they disappear in the middle of the road."
"Did they notice us?"
"How is this possible, with our stealth even Martial Saint would find it difficult to locate us unless we make a move. We are born special with innate shadow control."
"So what should we do?"
The two stared at one another.
"Let\'s call the boss."
They two nodded and were about to contact each other when their bodies froze as both of them felt a grip on their shoulders.
Frozen like a statue they looked back only to see an anonymous ghost.
A woman with greenish eyes tilted her head with venom.
"Filthy mongrels...You dare to disturb my Master\'s sweet moments...You must have a death wish."
Following this they soon found themselves surrounded by several ghostly figures and on top of that two Martial Saint figures locked the space making them unable to move.
"SHIT!"
It was at that moment, they knew that they fucked up very badly.
