“It’s not a big deal ...” He told her with a hint of laughter in his voice. Lyle stretched out the word, as if he was deliberating. The tone of the tail end of that word was truly spellbinding. “…. I couldn't do anything for you these past few days, so today I shall follow your command ... my queen ...”

Sheila felt she was spellbound and was momentarily shocked. Her face became beet red and immediately plant her face on Lyle's lap as to not let him saw her current face.

Really, this guy ... he can really say anything with ease ...

Lyle turned his face towards the kitchen and listened to the sounds coming from it. Sasha and Moori were working happily inside and things were lively at the moment. They would not be paying any attention to them for the next little while.

Confirming that there would be no immediate risk of being found out, he turned his gaze to Sheila whose face was already dyed red up to her ears.

He gave a slight exhale and cleared his throat. And then he started humming for a little while before he began singing in a gentle voice:

For all the times I felt cheated, I complained ...

Lyle finally started singing the first line. This was a song that he remembered he quite liked in his past life, so he was able to sing it very proficiently. He did not really need to look at the lyrics and still he could smoothly sing it.

When he opened his mouth to sing, Sheila swore she clearly heard her own heartbeat.

Seriously, it sounded so good it could make someone cry.

... ...

I didn't have a prayer, didn't have a clue

Then out of the blue

God gave me you to show me what's real

There's more to life than just how I feel

... ...

Effortless high notes that carried an intense sense of love and care.

He even gave her the feeling that he was the man in the story – someone who did know what to do in life but then had a sudden encounter, ever since that time, his life was full of colors, deeply thanking the god for giving him the most valuable treasure …

Light and gentle, like a whispered good night next to her ear.

... ...

And all that I live for ... though I didn't know why

Now I do, 'cause God gave me you

For all the times I wore myself pity like a favorite shirt

All wrapped up in that hurt

... ...

Sheila was in somewhat of a daze as she listened. Heart flutters.

That was what she had felt the very first time she heard his voice.

Absolutely no exaggeration.

She remembered, that first time, when she heard him sing back then, she had clearly heard the sound of her own furious heartbeat. At that time she felt that her decision to follow him was really the right choice.

Her mind was suddenly assaulted with an image: slightly hidden behind the curtains of a canopy, a charming young man, his clothes half undone, was lying on his side on a couch bed … the young man was admiring the beauty of the girl lying beside him while gently caressing her face ... just like ...

... yes ...

... just like what they are doing right now ...

Sheila felt a little like she could not handle the thought anymore.

Together, they created a set of living portraits of “Tender Love.”

Whispering sweet nothings in her ear, his eyes turned up in a slight smile and was very alluring, his voice warm, smooth and doting.

……

As her mind finished filling in the last of these details, her brain completely stopped working and all her blood seemed to rush upwards.

... ...

For every glass I saw, I saw half empty

Now it overflows like a river through my soul

From every doubt I had, I’m finally free

I truly believe

... ...

As in the lyrics, peach blossoms that could steal one’s heart seemed to be found in his eyes, and once you looked directly into them, it was simply impossible to resist him.

Sheila's face immediately flushed a deep red …

... ...

God gave me you to show me what's real

There's more to life than just how I feel

And all that I'm worth is right before my eyes

And all that I live for though I didn't know why

Now I do, 'cause God gave me you

... ...

“Hmm… I didn't thought the Lyle had also possess such a nice voice.” Out of nowhere, a familiar-sounding voice with a hint of surprised echoed in the room.

Lyle was singing and could not allow himself to be distracted. Vaguely, he seemed to hear Sasha laugh lightly

He automatically turned his head to the side.

On the other side …

Sasha and Moori looked at him in surprise.

His singing, however, did not stop.

As she listened, Sheila felt as if she would not be able to breathe. It was too beautiful a voice …

Very light, very relaxed. He was singing in a deep, pleasant voice.

She quickly turned her head away which was lying on Lyle's lap while being caressed by his gentle hands.

As she listened to him, she thought, this was such a wonderful day.

Such a beautiful voice singing such a beautiful song.

On the other side of the sofa; were Moori and Sasha looking at him.

He, too, was looking at them, those deep black eyes with the upward-turned outer corners carrying the hint of a smile in them, as he casually sang.

On contrast, Moori really felt surprised when she heard Lyle singing. she suddenly… felt her heart stir and flutter.

Oh Heaven!

Why was the world starting to seem so unfathomable and difficult to understand … ?

A man who had both a gorgeous voice and a handsome appearance could basically be considered a rare phenomenon, you know …… ?!

If God bestowed on you a nice voice, he would also give you an ordinary face.

This was the biggest, regretful conclusion she had come to after looking at many minstrels and singers. But, her soon to be husband had actually possess such a surprising voice … this paired with an attractive face!

That was absolutely going against the natural law of things!

Could the heavens really be so unfair ? What if others had known Lyle's countless mind-blowing talents ... that would really felt as if he was bullying them too much. What would he do if he made them cry?

But then, to her surprise, she heard Lyle unexpectedly start to speak some lines, lines that seemed not part from the song because he was speaking on monologue. “I have thought that god doesn't exist. But when I met you, I suddenly felt that they really was watching over me ... "

In Lyle' voice, she had a sense of rapport.

He then turned his gaze down and looked straight into Sheila's eyes and told her with a crooked smile plastered on his handsome face, “Whether you're a beast or an ordinary human, that doesn't matter ... god gave me you, all of you. Thus a treasure I will never relinquish ... Til the mountains crumble and the skies fell down, till the seas dry, only then will I stop loving you all ... "
