Leah was a light sleeper. So, she did not sleep well because she was not used to the hardboard bed in the village.

So, she was wide awake immediately when she sensed the gaze in the dark.

Leah could not see what was there because her back was facing outwards. So, she listened attentively. Some very light footsteps were walking around, and they could be heard clearly on a quiet night like this.

Leah clenched her hand under the blanket. Then, she reached out and pinched Serena, sleeping beside her.

However, Serena continued to sleep soundly, like she did not feel the pinch.

Behind Leah, a pair of hands slowly approached her.

The air around Leah was becoming more intense.

Leah figured that person might be so bold, assuming she was sleeping. But, on the other hand, Leah thought she might be scared away that person if she woke up.

So, Leah turned around. Her eyes met with another pair of eyes.

Both of them were startled.

“Sunny?” asked Leah, breaking the intense silence.

Sunny smirked. His smile looked terrifying under the moonlight that crept through the paper-covered window into the unlit room.

Supposedly, Leah should feel relieved seeing Sunny, but she became more nervous because of the behavior he displayed the past few days.

Leah immediately sat up, fully alert. “Why are you in our room instead of sleeping at Chief’s house?”

A weird excitement crept up Sunny’s face.
