CHAPTER 1514: CHAPTER 1514: ESPECIALLY YOUR EYES

Upon hearing Leon Battleson’s words, Charlotte Thompson, who initially intended to reach for the cup and drink water, naturally stopped her actions abruptly.

She looked at Leon Battleson in front of her, and finally, a different expression appeared on his originally tranquil face.

For a moment, Charlotte doubted whether Leon Battleson was intentionally teasing her; otherwise, how could he say such... crazy words?

"Mr. Battleson, such jokes are not funny at all."

Charlotte curled her lips, deeply inhaling to calm her emotions.

However, seeing Leon Battleson’s expression towards her made Charlotte feel a vague premonition fill her heart.

She slightly lowered her head, fixing her gaze on the glass in her hand, barely covering the embarrassment that surfaced on her face.

"Why would Miss Thompson think I’m joking?"

Leon Battleson, however, propped up his cheek, his attitude becoming particularly serious, and said, "Or is it that in Miss Thompson’s eyes, anything I say is deceitful?"

Charlotte pressed her lips together without responding, and seeing her silent demeanor, Leon Battleson allowed a self-deprecating smile to lift the corners of his mouth.

"I suddenly wonder, how does Justin Battleson describe me in front of you?"

"Miss Thompson, I’m not lying. You indeed resemble the girl I once liked."

At this point, Leon Battleson paused, then gradually softened his voice, like a feather brushing gently across Charlotte’s heart.

"Especially your eyes."

They are so beautiful that I want to possess them immediately.

"Back then, I was sent alone to Cethuira, surrounded by unfamiliar faces and a strange language, making me feel completely out of place with that world, until her appearance, like a ray of sunshine penetrating my dark world."

Like recalling something, Leon Battleson’s gaze softened as he spoke.

Witnessing Leon Battleson’s expression, Charlotte squinted her eyes slightly, unable to discern whether Leon Battleson’s display was genuine emotion or a burst of acting.

Charlotte hadn’t met Leon Battleson many times, even their interactions were scarce; this was their first-ever dinner together in a restaurant.

Perhaps, it was something Charlotte never expected.

Leon Battleson gave Charlotte an inexplicable feeling; he was always an odd, elusive person, and Charlotte never knew what he might say or do next.

Just like when he spoke of his so-called first love now, his gaze was so tender, yet Charlotte inexplicably felt no emotion in it.

Charlotte recalled the day she met Leon Battleson in the cemetery, as if a dagger had torn open her deep memories, letting many things surge forth.

"Unfortunately... she betrayed me, the most sorrowful thing I encountered after losing my mother."

Leon Battleson’s tone and expression underwent subtle changes, but Charlotte was immersed in her own thoughts and didn’t notice them.

In the end, all Charlotte heard was a light chuckle from above.

"Indeed, dull and tedious memories make Miss Thompson lose interest."

Leon Battleson’s words brought Charlotte back to the present, making her slightly anxious as she rubbed her fingertips, suppressing the inexplicable emotions in her heart.
