“Lady Jessica, I’m sleepy…” Lucy’s head bobbed, and she tried her best to open her eyes, but she could not resist the exhaustion no matter what.
Caspian and Jessica looked at each other and gave a knowing smile when they saw Lucy’s adorable look.
“Then, let’s go,” Caspian purposely shouted.
After paying the bills, Caspian carried Lucy onto the barrow.
The little girl seemed to be sleepy.
She did not even struggle and directly curled up in the middle of the barrow, hugging the gifts they bought and slept.
Although Jessica’s, Lucy was almost a cultivator too.
One should not underestimate her just because she still seemed like a little girl.
In truth, her physique was much stronger than other ordinary warriors, and a fourth-stage True Martial Realm warrior would not be a match for her.
Hence, they did not need to worry about Lucy catching a cold from sleeping on the barrow.
Caspian was still the one pushing the cart, and Jessica walked by his side.
The two talked about the most mundane things, and they followed the streets and slowly walked out of the city.
Once they left the city, Caspian hinted at Jessica, and Jessica quickly understood, saying, “It’s still early now.
Let’s choose another route.”
“That’s fine too,” Caspian nodded, “Let’s go around at the foot of the mountain over there.
If we make it in time, we can still see the sunset.”
After saying that, Caspian led Jessica toward the foot of the mountain in the distance.
Soon, the surrounding woods became denser, and the passersby were lesser.
However, what surprised Jessica was that after leaving the city, the feeling of being followed by someone greatly faded.
Moreover, she almost could not sense it now.
‘Did the group of people give up?’ Jessica thought in confusion.
Suddenly, she noticed Caspian stopped in mid-track, leaning the barrow against the rock Looking around them, Jessica realized they just turned a corner.
“What‘s going on?” Jessica looked at Caspian, puzzled.
She did not know why Caspian suddenly stopped.
However, Caspian did not say anything, but he just directly walked toward her.
Soon, there was only a small distance left between them.
Jessica could even see her reflection in Caspian’s eyes.
“What… What are you doing?” Jessica’s breathing became rapid, and she felt her heart beating wildly.
Just as she said that Caspian leaned in closer again.
Jessica subconsciously retreated, but just as she took a step, her back was firmly pressed against the giant boulder behind her.
Then, she raised her head and looked at Caspian.
With one hand supported on the rock, Caspian smiled and looked at Jessica from above.
‘What… What is he trying to do?’ Jessica was flustered and confused, and her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
‘Is he trying to…’
When the image flashed in her mind, Jessica felt her cheeks burn.
She wanted to break free, but she could not explain why her limbs were weak.
Moreover, Jessica almost exhausted her whole strength just to stand, let alone wanting to push Caspian away.
“I want to say…” At that time, Caspian slowly leaned closer to Jessica.
After that, the gap between the two became smaller and smaller, and Jessica could even feel Caspian’s breath.
As the faint air current slowly blew on her face, Jessica trembled all over, and her eyes also revealed a layer of mist.
Soon, Jessica’s mind went blank, and she only had a thought in her head, ‘Is this for real… Is he going to… What… What should I do…’
