Their fingertips brushed past each other briefly before pulling away, and Zora noticed nothing of the small interaction.

Only Leighton felt the soft graze across the back of his hand, his fingers tightening slightly almost instinctively.

Zora picked up a chicken wing, blew on it gently, and took a bite, her eyes sparkling brightly.

“It tastes amazing.”

“Have more later if you like it.”

Leighton grabbed a plain white ceramic plate, bent down, and served out all the chicken wings from the pot.

“Help yourself whenever you want.”

He set the plate down on the kitchen counter right in front of her.

Zora was too busy munching on the wing to do anything but nod in response.

Seeing how much she loved the food, a soft smile tugged at the corner of Leighton’s lips.

He cleaned the pot thoroughly, then set it back on the stove and poured in cooking oil to start preparing more dishes.

Zora stood by quietly watching his every move, utterly captivated.

She had not had home-cooked meals made by him for days, and her cravings were growing

strong.

With the little girl lingering closely behind him like a tiny follower, Leighton would feed her a small bite every time he finished cooking one dish.

Before long, a warm home-style dinner was ready: honey-glazed chicken wings, savory pepper pork skillet, slow-simmered tomato beef stew, and fresh squash egg soup.

“Zora, take this.”

Seeing Zora reach out to carry the hot soup bowl, Leighton handed her two plates instead.

“Got it.” Zora held the two plates and walked out toward the dining area.

Leighton carried the soup out next, then hurried back inside to bring out all the remaining dishes quickly.

“Let’s eat.”

He placed forks neatly in front of Zora.

Zora did not hold back her appetite at all. No one could blame her-food cooked by such an outstanding-looking man tasted absolutely incredible.

She had already been craving the food fiercely while waiting in the kitchen. Normally, she would keep up a little gentle reserve when eating, but facing such rich, fragrant home-cooked dishes, all her shyness vanished completely.

By the end of the meal, Zora was full and utterly satisfied.

Leighton stood up and began clearing away the tableware.

Zora stared straight into his stunning eyes, her lips parting softly. She found herself longing to reach out and touch them, wondering if they would still look this breathtaking once held gently in her hands.

“Zora?” Leighton paused while gathering the tableware in front of her, confused by her fixed

gaze.

“Your eyes are so beautiful,” Zora spoke her thoughts out loud honestly.

“Do you want to touch them, Zora?”

Leighton looked into her clear, crystal-like eyes that held his own reflection perfectly.

He could clearly tell how much she admired his eyes.

“Can I really?” Zora’s eyes lit up instantly, and she sat up straighter in her seat.

“If you wish to, you may.”

Leighton bent down slowly, bringing his face close to Zora’s.

The distance between them narrowed in an instant. Staring at the close-up of his strikingly handsome features, Zora could not help but sigh inwardly at how unbelievably good-looking he was.

“Go ahead and touch them if you want.”

He found it rather amusing that she kept staring at him without blinking. This girl was different from all the others he had met. He had always been well aware of his own outstanding looks; after all, his mother had once been known as the most beautiful woman in Seacrest.

He had inherited all the finest features from both his mother and his father. Even his father could only scold him lightly out of anger, never bringing himself to lay a hand on him no

His striking appearance had drawn countless women to approach him over the years, drawn by his power, wealth, or his prominent family background alike.

For a long time, he had grown to hate his own looks and deeply disliked having others stare at his face for too long.

Yet being watched by Zora felt entirely different. Her gaze was pure and spotless, free from greed, obsession, or ulterior desire-nothing but sincere admiration for pure beauty.

He watched her slender, fair hands slowly reach toward his eyes, and his long, thick eyelashes fluttered subconsciously.

Leighton’s breathing slowed and grew shallow. His well-defined fingers tightened firmly around the bottom of the bowl until his knuckles turned pale.

He himself could not understand why he had agreed so easily.

He had always hated anyone touching his head more than anything else.

From the head massage last time to letting her touch his eyes right now, all these things had long crossed his strict personal boundaries.

Still, he found himself constantly giving in, completely unable to turn down any of her small

requests.

Soft fingertips lightly brushed against his delicate eyelids, making his long lashes tremble nonstop. Every sense in his body grew heightened and sensitive as her gentle fingers traced softly around the outline of his eyes.

Her touch drifted gently from his brows to his eye sockets, all the way down to his lower lash lines.

A faint, sweet, refreshing scent lingered on Zora’s body, light and pleasant without being cloying.

He lifted his gaze slightly, taking in Zora’s delicate, flawless face. She wore no makeup at all, with soft, well-shaped brows, round, innocent eyes, and naturally rosy lips.

Every single detail of her features was perfectly exquisite.

She was still young, yet her extraordinary beauty was already fully visible. No one could imagine just how stunning she would become once she fully matured.

“Your eyes really are so beautiful.” Both the eyes themselves and the shape were perfect.

Zora indulged herself fully, her eyes curving into content, cheerful slits just like a satisfied

She quickly decided she did not wish to keep those beautiful eyes for herself after all; they belonged perfectly on this handsome man’s face where they looked most wonderful.

“Your eyes are lovely too, Zora.”

Zora pulled her hand away, and Leighton straightened up, letting out a quiet breath of relief.

He had not spoken a single lie. Zora’s eyes were indeed breathtakingly beautiful. Just gazing into them was enough to calm his restless heart.

All his dark, gloomy, and calculating thoughts were locked deep inside him, never daring to show even a hint of them before her. He feared he would tarnish those pure, innocent eyes of hers.

“It’s time for you to drink your tonic soup. Finish it up, and I’ll give you a massage so you can get a nice long rest.”

Judging it was the right time, Zora stood up and walked into the kitchen, pouring out a bowl of warm soup for Leighton.

“Do I really have to drink this? I feel perfectly fine as I am.”

Staring at the steaming hot soup, Leighton tried to negotiate gently with her.

He truly believed his body was nowhere near weak enough to need such strong, nourishing

tonics.

He had never cared for prescription medicines from the clinic and only forced himself to take them twice half-heartedly. Now faced with this herbal soup, he was utterly tempted to turn it down.

“You might feel fine right now, but you’re actually burning out your body little by little. If you keep pushing yourself this hard, you’ll end up bedridden sooner or later. Proper nourishment now will keep you healthy and strong in the long run.

“If you keep skipping this soup, you’re straining your kidneys nonstop… and too much damage there will mess up your whole life later on.”

Zora spoke to him in all earnestness, her gaze drifting subtly down toward his waist.

A sleek black belt cinched his waist, highlighting his lean and toned figure.

His waistline was undeniably attractive, and every line of his bones seemed perfectly shaped.

She secretly wished she could reach out and touch it someday; everything about him was just too flawless.

Leighton stiffened and shifted aside instinctively, utterly flustered by where her eyes had wandered off to.

“I’m being totally serious here. If you keep overworking like this, you’ll regret it once you settle
