.......
Leah wasn't sure why Ernest had suddenly appeared, but her heart was beating wildly.
Leah's heartbeat intensified as she spotted Ernest's eyes on her, and it was about to leap out of her chest. Anticipation filled her entire body.
After Leah sat down at the dining table, she lowered her gaze and didn't even look at Ernest.
Ernest fixed Leah with a complicated look for some time. Then, he closed the door and walked inside.
He looked down at Leah only to find that she had lowered her head, not daring to look at him. Hence, Ernest felt a strong sense of regret.
Ernest sat down opposite Leah after some thought, and he locked eyes with her.
Leah had no choice but to look to Ernest.
Their eyes met in an instant. Leah subconsciously shifted her gaze away and asked, "Why did you suddenly come back?"
"You're the reason why." Ernest replied.
His voice was low, and it was filled with guilt. Leah was shaken by the tone of his voice.
