126 Being Vulnerable

"It's beautiful!"

Emily whispered out as her emerald eyes sparkled at the beautifully decorated streets. It was a pity that it still was early morning and not evening or nighttime, otherwise, she would have got the chance to enjoy the sparkling lights that people had used to decorate the outside of their shops, cafes, restaurants, and other such buildings.

"It is..."

Shadow's soft words pulled her attention towards her bodyguard and as she turned to look at him, she found him looking directly back at her.

His amber eyes were looking at her with such softness that it left her surprised for a few seconds.

At the same time, Shadow too was taken aback as their gaze collided and it made him immediately look away. He focused his attention back on the road as he cleared his throat to divert his thoughts.

"I mean that...it's really beautiful....the view. Just like you said."
