Leah let out a hearty laugh, she clearly didn't think her question was that upfront.
"No reason, I just want to know what type of girl has the heart of a gentle man like you."
Being put on the spot by her as she gazed at him, Ernest felt a little flustered. He calmly put the knife away, handed over the peeled peach in his hands, and retrieved the one Leah was holding.
In that moment, their fingers brushed against each other's unintentionally. The both of them put on an unaffected expression, despite stiffening at the touch.
"Well, tell me." Leah asked again.
"She's kind and beautiful," Ernest said calmly.
Leah's eyes widened. She said in a surprised tone, "Wow, Immorternest, you look like you're someone who sees beyond the surface. Who would've thought that you would judge a book by its cover?"
Ernest was stunned and asked in response, "It's just human nature. I'm just an ordinary person."
