Hellbound With You novel Chapter 467

Chapter 467 The Long Lost Tale Part XIII

Young Abigail was late to wake up the next morning. It seemed that the activities from the day before had taken its toll on her. The moment she got out of bed, she immediately went in search of the young Alex. Her heart felt a little bit panicked because she had dreamt that he had left her last night. She really hoped it was only a dream.

She rushed towards the bed and was instantly dismayed when she saw that he was no longer there. Did he really leave? But he said that he wouldn’t go back.

Young Abigail couldn’t believe how her heart behaved just from the thought of him not being around anymore. Her shoulders fell and she felt sad and hurt.

She walked dejectedly towards the door with a sullen expression on her face. She couldn’t.

However, when she lifted her face, she saw him standing before her. His presence shocked her in a good way and her sullen expression immediately disappeared and her face brightened like a shining star.

"Where did you go?!" she asked, approaching him as she puffed her cheeks.

The young man lifted his hand, showing her a big fish that he had just caught. "I went to catch some fish for you," he replied, causing the young Abigail to just blink as her gaze fell on the small basket filled with fish that he had caught.

She looked up again and stared at him. "Sorry... I thought, I thought that you left," she confessed.

Young Alex just froze and stared at her without blinking. It was as if he had forgotten how to respond until the fish in his hand moved, jolting him awake. He cleared his throat.

"Would you be sad if I left?" was the first thing that came out of his lips.

It was the young woman’s turn to fall silent for a while. She glanced down at the fish again before she looked at him and smiled. "Yes," she answered. "When I saw that you weren’t in the house, I felt sad. I know it has only been a couple of days since we met but... I think that having you around makes me happy."

Once again, the young man froze. Her words were so straightforward and honest, hiding nothing from him, that he didn’t know how to respond. Her honest words shook him to his very core. That was so unexpected and he was utterly affected. He didn’t even notice that he had let go of the big fish until young Abigail yelled "ah!" as she crouched down to pick up the still wriggling fish from the ground.

Young Alex subconsciously stepped back, covering his lips with the back of his hand as he looked down at her.

"I’ll bring these inside. We are going to have a very yummy breakfast," she said, flashing him a sweet smile before she walked back inside the house.

The young man just stood there, watching her retreating back, with his ears flushed red.

Later that day, Zeres arrived again and the three of them spent the day together. Young Alex and Zeres ended up sparring while Abigail watched them, trying to learn from their exceptional skills.
