Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 414

Let's translate this vivid scene into a context more familiar to a Western audience.

Picture this: Leda and York, caught in the gaze not only of each other but also of the watchful eyes of their friends.

Katrina, with a playful tone, nudged Melba, "Look at those lovebirds, aren't they the sweetest?"

Melba, equally amused, replied, "I've never seen the young master take such an initiative with any girl before."

"Is Leda just any girl, though? Regardless of her background, her upbringing is top-notch. The kid's finally done something right."

"The young master knows what he's doing, never misses the mark when it truly counts."

"If he can keep going with Leda, I'd die happy in my sleep."

"Huh? Does the young master look a bit off to you?"

"Does he?" Katrina squinted, taking a closer look. "You might be onto something... And does Leda seem a bit stiff to you?"

Despite being so close, something seemed amiss...

Downstairs, York whispered, "Don't move, my mom's getting suspicious."

"How long has your mom been here?" Leda asked.

"She's been lurking since before you took that call."

This just made Leda even more nervous.

Katrina, curious, asked, "Why the silence after such a tight hug?"

Leda heard every word, clear as day.

Since she was a responsible person, she knew she had to deal with the situation herself.

She looked at York firmly, murmuring, "Kiss me."

York felt his heart start to race.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up!"

His Adam's apple bobbed, his gaze deepening, becoming an abyss filled with swirling mysteries.

The next second, he assertively wrapped his arms around her slender waist, pressing his lips to hers in a dominant, undeniable manner.

Leda was taken aback.

Their kiss was intense, a tangle of lips and tongues.

"Whoa! They're kissing! Melba, let's give them some space, don't wanna make the kids uncomfortable."
