Gerard was speechless for a second but soon took control of the situation. He moved swiftly and held Ayla by her waist. His movements were so fast that she didn't even see him move.

"Then you know just how I feel when I see you smile with other men." Gerard's voice was soft and warm and his gaze was as beautiful as the sun.

'How can it be possible that he was cursed by the moon but looks as beautiful and bright as the sun.' she wondered, lost in his unending beauty.

"Master, your food is ready," Grace spoke and Ayla tried to free herself from his clutches but failed miserably.

Grace didn't need a response and slowly walked back with a smile on her face. "He may be hot-tempered but he certainly has a soft spot for her. Should I twist the plot a bit?" she whispered as she walked back to her post.
