“What the hell was that noise?”

“Wait, this is the Sinclair townhouse.”

Ethan, who had been trying to sit up, furrowed his brows at Kellyan’s words. He hadn’t realized he had woken up in Cherry’s family home.

He had passed out at 61 Notium Street—who would have expected him to wake up at the Sinclair townhouse?

“There’s a rumor that the ghosts of those who held grudges against the Sinclairs wander this mansion.”

But as Kellyan continued, Ethan scoffed and turned his head away. Not worth listening to.

Grrrrr—

Then, Cherry’s soft snore echoed through the room.

Ethan looked down at her, still nestled in his arms. She looked far too peaceful for the situation.

Like a child who had fallen asleep in the safest place in the world, completely at ease.@@novelbin@@

“…The Lady must be exhausted. Not that I can blame her.”

When Kellyan muttered that, Ethan raised an eyebrow as if to ask what he meant.

Kellyan briefly explained how Cherry had carried him all the way here and who had treated his wounds.

After hearing everything, Ethan clenched his fist as a strange sensation tickled his chest. His gaze drifted back to Cherry.

“She should rest a little longer.”

“So, you’re not going to check outside?”

“For now, I’ll just stay on guard.”
