FreeNovelChapter 2140 Liam walked ahead of Amber, then turned to glance at her. He faked a smile and asked, "What's the matter? Are you worried that I might take advantage of you?" "No, of course not!" Amber quickly shook her head and pushed her scarf up. It had fallen a little.
"I just find it improper," she answered softly.
She looked like a typical woman from Southeast Aeos, petite and with a small face. Her skin was tanned, and her facial features weren't very distinct. She was charming and reserved, exuding a girlish pureness.

"Hey, it's not improper. If I wanted to do anything to you, I would've done that long ago. I don't have to wait until now." Liam sounded relaxed and prudent to ease Amber's anxiety.
"Don't worry. I've always regarded you as my younger sister. What I did the other day was over the line. I just wanted to scare you and make you realize that I'm not a good guy. I didn't expect to frighten you like that. You're too timid to approach me. It's unnecessary." "That's not the reason." Amber took a deep breath and kept looking at the floor. In the fog, she tried to keep her distance.
"I don't think you're a bad guy just because of what you did that day," she went on. "On the contrary, you attractedmore. But I know my feelings for you might be a burden for you, so I chose to keep my distance from you." "So, you stayed away because you were attracted by me?" Liam raised his brows in surprise, but he was more or less satisfied.
To Liam, Amber was just like a bird. He could see and control everything she did. However, he was disappointed with how she avoided him lately. He selfishly hoped that the bird would not leave his sight, let alone out of his control.
Surprisingly, Amber admitted that her feelings for him had deepened. It immediately made him feel better and happier.
It was disgusting of him, but he felt more delighted than ever.
"Yes!" Amber hurriedly stepped back upon noticing Liam getting closer to her.

Amber decided to expose her thoughts instead of keeping them a secret. She hoped they could keep a polite distance from each other. "It's dark. If we keep going, we might get lost," she added.
While holding the lantern, Liam took Amber's hand. "We'll guide eachm other. Let's walk through this orange grove and see if we can find any clues."
"Oh, Liam.... Why can't you understand me?" Feeling shy Amber tried to break free of his hand but failed. She sighed helplessly. "No, I understood you," Liam said, "but I think your worry is unnecessary."
