......
Leah didn't say anything. The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating.
Ernest walked a few steps with her. He felt depressed too. He wanted to say something, but Leah turned away and walked in another direction.
The words that Ernest wanted to say were stuck in his throat. He couldn't say anything at all.
No matter how slow Ernest was, he could feel that something was wrong with Leah. The atmosphere had changed completely since she asked him about Celeste.
He looked at her slender back with complicated emotions in his eyes.
He wanted to explain himself, but he suppressed it and showed no emotion.
After walking for a little while in the garden, Leah started kicking and stretching.
She was really doing exercise. Ernest frowned. "Aren't you tired? Why are you exercising?"
"Oh, I am tired, but exercising helps us live longer. We should exercise since young. That's how we can stay healthy."
