Chapter 156 Stay Next To Her

Xavier nervously glanced at Hera's face, trying to gauge her reaction to Leo's obvious acting. Hera, too, noticed Leo's act, and her earlier concern evaporated. However, she chose not to call Leo out, as his behavior seemed harmless. Perhaps he genuinely wanted to visit the village but was too shy to ask directly, resulting in his roundabout inquiry.

Hera couldn't help but recall the incident in the women's restroom when Leo was drugged at the Auction House. Surprisingly, instead of feeling angry, she found Leo's actions intriguing and endearing this time around. She wasn't sure if he was simply being playful or genuinely bored, but she couldn't deny his skill in manipulating facial expressions. As she had thought before, Leo seemed gifted in this regard — so much so that he could easily pursue a career as an actor if he wished.
