Xavier and Leila stayed with Sterling until after lunch before leaving.
It was on a Monday, but neither of them was too busy. Sterling had taken time off from his laboratory to send his brother away. Therefore, they had a relaxing time. Well, Sterling and Leila chatted about herbology while Xavier sat silently.
"What's up with Sterling?" Leila asked as soon as Xavier drove them out of the gate.
Leila knew that Xavier would never hurt Sterling, but she was worried about him after what she had seen. From context, it was clear that Sterling had lost some memories, and he was having a hard time recovering.
In addition, it was obvious that Xavier did not want him to remember, at least not yet.
Xavier did not answer straight away, but his lips stretched into a small smile. The smile had hints of amusement and fondness that could not be concealed. He did not expect that Leila would feel it through their weak mate bond.
"Are you laughing at me?" Leila demanded, her hackles raised.
