Chapter 273 His Sweet Pampering

Leighton carried her into the bedroom, then crouched down to take off her shoes.

Moonlight streamed through the windows and spilled into the room, wrapping Leighton in a faint soft glow.

Gentle light fell over the girl sleeping soundly on the big bed. The whole scene looked incredibly beautiful.

When Zora woke up, the sky outside was filled with the dying sunset and layers of fiery clouds. Warm golden light filled every corner of the room.

For a moment, she felt like she was back in the countryside again.

Back when she lived in Maplewood, she loved watching the sunset in summer the most.

The evening glow was always stunning, and every sunset looked uniquely beautiful.

As the sun dipped below the horizon each day, her mentor would take her tiny hand and walk with her to the herb fields.

They would squat side by side and pick fresh herbs together.

Everything used to be so quiet.

The sunset outside slowly faded away, leaving Zora in a daze, unsure of the time or place.

But the faint reflection on the beige floor jolted her straight back to reality.

She was not in the small village anymore. Her mentor was no longer by her side.

The bedroom door creaked open slightly.

Zora lifted her gaze and watched Leighton’s figure slowly appear in the doorway.

The sight of him made her zone out for a second.

The empty, lost feeling in her heart was quietly replaced by his tall, slender figure.

“You’re awake? Are you hungry? I made you something tasty.”

He fully pushed the door open once he saw she was awake. He had only come to check on her a moment ago.

“Mm…”

Zora opened her mouth, her voice slightly hoarse. “Leighton, how did I get back here?”

She clearly remembered falling asleep in the car, not in her bedroom.

“I carried you home.”

Leighton’s voice was soft and warm with a faint smile.

Zora’s foggy, sleepy mind jolted awake instantly.

She sat up straight on the bed, her cheeks flushing red. “You… you carried me back?”

She was already all grown up, yet he had carried her home while she slept.

A deep blush spread across her ears.

She had been so worn out in the afternoon that she had no idea when she fell asleep, nor did she remember being carried inside.

“You were sleeping so soundly. I didn’t have the heart to wake you.”

Leighton saw her embarrassment and smiled softly. “I carried you bridal style.”

Zora’s face burned even hotter.

Her earlier melancholy vanished, replaced by shyness. She nervously gripped the bed sheets with her fingers.

“Leighton, wake me up next time if I fall asleep.”

“No way.” Leighton shook his head, refusing her seriously.

“I rarely get the chance to hold you. I wouldn’t wake you up, not even for my own selfish

reasons.”

“W-what selfish reasons?” Zora asked without thinking.

“I just want to hold you,” Leighton drawled, his eyes crinkling with amusement.

“I never get to hold you when you’re awake.”

He quietly watched her expressions soften.

The moment he opened the door earlier, he had seen her looking lost and lonely, like the whole world had forgotten her, and it had tugged sharply at his heart.

Zora’s ears turned completely red.

She instantly regretted asking. He always said these flirty, teasing things, and she could never tell if he was joking or being serious.

“I’m already grown up. I don’t need to be carried anymore.”

Zora tried to put on a stern face.

“Not to me you’re not,” Leighton said firmly.

“You’re still my little girl. You need hugs when you’re wronged, when you’re upset, and when you’re sad.”

Before she could stop herself, Zora blurted out, “And kisses too, right?”

Everyone always said hugs and kisses went together.

The second the words left her mouth, she froze in utter shock.

She almost wanted to slap her own mouth for speaking so fast.

Stupid mouth, why did it have to run ahead of my brain?

“Kiss? Well…”

Leighton was stunned for a second by her sudden question.

Then he thought about her age. Teenage girls were easily swayed by sweet words and silly crushes.

She was pretty and too trusting. Plenty of men at the banquet earlier had been eyeing her with bad intentions.

Alarm bells rang loudly in Leighton’s mind.

He forgot all about dinner, walked into the room, sat down by the desk, and his expression turned serious.

Zora stared at him confusedly, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.

“Zora, you’re still young. There are many things you don’t understand yet, and I need to talk to you about them.

“Things like kisses are off-limits until you’re an adult. If anyone ever tries to force you into anything like that, you hit them, or use your medicine on them. I’ll take full responsibility for whatever happens.

“Zora, there are lots of boys out there who only know sweet talk. They love tricking young,
