In the guest room on the second floor, Mellisa led Leonard inside.
She closed the door, and just as she was about to ask, her shoulder was suddenly grabbed by Leonard, and a hoarse mumble came to her ear. "Let me hug you for a bit."
Mellisa stopped moving!
She let Leonard hug her shoulders and bury his whole face in her neck.
Mellisa's hands slid from his waist to completely wrap around his back, and gently caressed the man she loved from time to time.
Having known Leonard for so long, she had never seen him look so lonely and sad.
In the silent atmosphere of the room, the two embraced without any sound.
A few minutes later, Leonard adjusted his emotions and looked her in the eyes. "I'm fine, don't worry."
Obviously, he didn't want to say much more for now.
Mellisa flashed a glint of enthusiasm, nodded and said, "It's fine, let's go downstairs. Lilia and the others are still waiting."
"Okay."
