Chapter 71

Lila was lost in thought when Kieran gently pushed the door open to enter the room. She was so focused that she hadn't noticed someone come in at all.

Her eyes were fixed on the view outside the window. Her calm gaze revealed no emotion. Her eyelashes fluttered, delicate like the wings of a vivid butterfly.

The room was silent, and time seemed to stand still because of her.

Kieran leaned casually against the wall, half-supporting himself with his long legs crossed. He was a sight to behold himself, yet he was captivated by the scene before him.

His gentle gaze fell on her pale face. Kieran's heart ached with a desire to hold her close and comfort her. Yet, he didn't want to disturb her moment of peace.

Perhaps his gaze had been too intense as Lila seemed to sense something and turned to look at him.
