Ernest saw through her easily. She raised her eyebrows, looked at Ernest, and admitted, "I'm a little tired, but I think that I am still able to bear it."
Ernest was surprised by her answer. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Since you can endure it, why were you hiding from me and talking to Maria for such a long time?"
Leah was left speechless.
However, Leah wasn't going to let it slide like that. She would never put herself in such an awkward position.
Leah smiled. "There's a saying. 'One should learn to find leisure in their busy life'. Don't you know that?"
Ernest laughed when he heard it. "If you say so, then I guess I can understand. You just wanted some free time to get to know Maria better. After that, you want to be with me. That's why you were talking to Maria. You didn't want to waste any time. Is that what you are saying?"
"Basically, yeah." Leah nodded.
