The moon was as cool as water, shining on Kate’s gorgeous face, setting it off more perfectly. At the same time, it also had a faint sense of loneliness.
There was no doubt that just now she was washing her hair and watching the moon----how boring it was to watch the moon alone!
Leo’s expression was a little unnatural. He quickly turned his gaze, “I’m sorry!”
Kate was surprised and then smiled casually, “Never mind. My appointment with you is at 8 o’clock. You just came on time.”
“Give me a minute.”
Kate got up, went back to the house and came out soon.
Her long wet hair was dried soon. It was wrapped high by a hairpin, revealing her snow-white neck. She came to Leo, “Come in.”
Looking at Kate with such an appearance, Leo’s anger abated more than half. He nodded slightly, “Okay!”
Nobody would have thought that Kate lived in such a small cabin.
Although the cabin was small, it was fully equipped.
In addition to the necessities of a boudoir, there was also a coffee machine. Kate loved coffee, which was known by people in the upper-class society of Emerdale.
“Latte or Mocha?”
Kate asked without looking back.
“No, thanks.”
Leo refused. He came to Lawson’s house only to ask about things. He would leave after asking.
Kate narrowed her eyes and smiled, “Let’s try Mocha.”
“…”
Hearing that, Leo could only allow himself a wry smile.
Kate did things only following her own will and never took others’ feelings into account. Even Leo could not change her way.
Soon, a cup of steaming Mocha was brought to Leo.
“Thank you.”
Leo apologized but didn’t drink. He just stared at her straightly, “Can you say it now? What do you mean during the day?”
Kate didn’t answer this question. She only smiled and looked at him with charming eyes, “We’ve never sat and had coffee calmly together, have we?”
Leo didn’t understand why she said such words. After a moment of silence, he nodded.
When he joined the Lawson family five years ago, he and Kate had lived together for a while. However, at that time, Leo was not so powerful. In his eyes, Kate was a vicious beauty who was always scheming and plotting.
Every word she said should be carefully considered, for fear of hiding other meanings. Every action she did should be carefully analyzed, for worrying about whether she was planning for something again----even if when he was sleeping, he had to hide a knife under his pillow.
In the past, they had been intertwined with hatred. How could they sit together to have coffee and talk at night?
Kate also nodded, “Since we haven’t done it before, we should cherish this opportunity more.”
Leo’s eyes narrowed dangerously, “I can’t tell which sentence you said is true and which is false.”
Kate still smiling, “This kind of woman has a unique flavor, isn’t she?”
Leo did not respond but laughed it off.
“For me, a man like you has a unique flavor, too.”
Looking at Leo, Kate suddenly opened her mouth again.
Kate had great charm. Her long hair covered her shoulders, and her face was like the bright moon.
There was also a faint fragrance on her body. It was like the scent of flowers but it seemed to come from herself.
Leo wasn’t swayed by her. He still looked at Kate coldly.
“Before answering your question, please answer me a question first----”
She narrowed her eyes slightly. At this time, she fully showed her rapier wit.
“Do you think I ever liked you?”
Kate’s question made Leo a little surprised. He shook his head, “No!”
“Really...”
The expression in Kate’s eyes was changed. All her momentum disappeared in an instant.
She continued, “There are many kinds of like, deep love, silent blessing, and cats and mice.”
“What the hell are you trying to say?”
Leo impatiently interrupted Kate with a low voice.
Suddenly, his murderous look made Kate tremble.
She clenched the coffee cup with both hands. She clenched with great force, so her wrist was already becoming steel-blue.
But then she relaxed her whole body and soul. She looked calm and said only one inexplicable word.
