Chapter 39: A Thief

Adam himself didn't know how many times he sighed. He was looking outside the window watching the dark sky almost three in the morning.

"You can just go back, I will manage." Alexander glanced at him shortly.

He turned and didn't answer but chose to stare at Alexander's back. He had a lot to ask but Camellia was resting and talking about that would probably disturbed her. But the urge of knowing what happened made him anxious and ended up with him walking to Alexander. "Let's talk outside."

"I will tell you tomorrow, please. I'm exhausted." Alexander did sound weak. His eyes reddened and droopy, showing the tiredness after a long day.

Adam's steps to the door stop, he turned then sighed once again, "Your cheek, are you sure it is okay?"

Just remembered about his cheek which was punched by Samuel, he touched it and nodded. "This is nothing. Come on, I'm not a kid." He smiled because of his brother's concern.
