354 Makes me crave blood

Zoren Pierson might be a sickly man everyone knew or had heard about. Regardless of that, women in the upper echelon would always agree to a date with him. But right now, Patricia couldn't help but see him as more than just a sickly man. Zoren was a gentleman.

He was kind.

Not just the way he spoke, which was pleasant to the ear, but there was something regal in every little movement he made. Even his blinks seemed to exude nobility; the slight curl of his lips was attractive, and the way he looked at her made her feel special. It was flattering, enough to make a woman's heart swell with appreciation.

That was what Patricia felt from the moment she met his eyes tonight until now, as they walked through the pathways of this vast landscape. Glancing at her hand on his arm, she pursed her lips sheepishly.

"You're a little old-fashioned, aren't you?" she blurted out, only to get nervous when his brows rose. "Oh, sorry, I didn't mean it that way."

"Don't you like old-fashioned?" he asked playfully. "I thought you preferred someone twenty years older"

Patricia chuckled. What was she supposed to say to that? She wasn't sure.

"Of course, I don't mind old-fashioned,

"Ah..."

Patricia heaved a sigh of relief, treading carefully. "Renren, you kept asking about me throughout dinner. How about you?" she inquired. "Won't you share something with me? I'd love to hear about all your experiences over the past decade." "There's not much," he shrugged, snapping his eyes ahead. "It's the same things over and over.

"Is that so?"

He cast her a sidelong glance. "Are you interested in what those recurring things are?"
