The Author's POV

Chapter 637

"It's been a while since I've last seen you smile."

Amanda approached me after I came out of the room. Her face was unusually serious.

I turned to look at her while cocking my head.

"You think so?"

I never really noticed myself if I had to be honest...but it wasn't as though I was surprised by this development. There wasn't much to smile about.

Also, having had another attack just a couple of minutes ago, I couldn't really bring myself to smile.

"Here."

Amanda placed her hands on the edges of my lips and pulled them upwards.

"Much better."

She returned a smile herself.

Her smile was stunning. Enough to make anyone fall into a daze with just a glance. Well, anyone but me. I was pretty much used to her smiles by now. Well, for the most part. I wasn't exactly totally immune.

"Wwwamhat are you doing?"

It was hard to speak when she had her hands on my lips, pulling them up.

"Helping you smile."

"...What dwoes that have anything to do with the situation?"

"It doesn't."

Amanda let go of my lips.

"It's just that you look a lot better if you smiled a little more often."

Cocking my head even further, I eventually nodded my head.

"Well, sure, I'll try to smile more."

This wasn't too hard of a request. Not like smiling was that hard.

I smiled.

"Happy?"

"For what?"

"I'm smiling, aren't I?"

Amanda's brows furrowed.

"...No?"

"Hm?"

Amanda's reaction took me back.

"What are you talking about?"

Was she playing a prank on me? I could clearly feel myself smiling.

"Are you playing around with me?"

Amanda asked, inching closer to me.

I shook my head.

"That was what I was about to ask you."

Amanda's face hardened.

Her reaction took me aback.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Here."
