Chapter 390

Lila, lying in bed, jolted in shock when the thunder clapped. She cowered a little.

The sky darkened very soon. She had no idea when the downpour would come to a stop.

The fear and anxiety within only worsened when she closed her eyes. It wasn't until she heard a knock on the door that she calmed down. Without bothering to put on her slippers, she rushed over to answer the door.

Kieran observed the lingering fear on her face and pulled her into his arms. Patting her softly on the back, he comforted her, "There's nothing to be afraid of. Shall we watch some movies in the living room?"

The warmth radiating from his body calmed her down. When she was little, she wasn't afraid of inclement weather at all. It just so happened that her parents passed away on a stormy day.

Sitting alone in an empty room, she wrapped herself in layers of blanket, but she couldn't seem to keep the claps of thunder away.

Back in the present, the electricity short circuited due to the weather. The only source of light in the room was the flashing lightning outside that fleetingly illuminated the room.

Curled up on the couch, Lila mindlessly watched the scenes change on the TV. The thunder outside kept her on edge as though she might break at any moment.

Before the next thunder clapped, she was suddenly pulled into an embrace. Kieran hugged her through the blanket. Her back pressed tightly against his chest like a lone boat that suddenly came ashore.

She turned around and met his warm, smiling eyes. Even his voice sounded soft and enchanting.
