Chapter 29
Mabe Kelly’s voice was too soft, or maybe Dron just couldn’t believe what he had heard.
Kelly figured she might as well go all in. She stiffened her neck and shooted, “It’s because you’re too good looking, Professor Buller.
The entire study went silent.
Kelly shu bereyes like she was surrendering to late. Her heart pounded.
When nothing happened even after a long while, the cracked one eye open.
Leon was staring at her with a complicated expression.
The look in his eyes said it all. He was working hand to teach, and here she was, shamelessly ogling him.
“Professor Butles,” Kelly said wealdy, trying to explain herself
But Leon’s expression suddenly timed serious. He placed his pen in front of her. “Repeat what I just tonight you. If you get it woning, you’re not allowed to sleep. Was this her punishment for being attracted to his!
Kelly whined, “Professor Butler…

Still waiting for a response, Kelly called out again. “Pofessor Butler.”
Her soft, sweet voice brushed through the air like a feather–light, teasing and impossible to ignore.
Leon looked momentarily dazed, but quickdy composed himself, his expression calm, “As long as you understand.”
Then he stood up on to bed early.”
It wasn’t until she and the door close that Kelly scratched her head, wondering how Leon could just leave without saying anything
but after a moment, she gave a little shrug and turned her attention back to her book.
In Leon’s room, the lamp on his bedside table cast a warm glow. He sat on the bed, holding the same book he had been reading earlier “The I
He used to read at lightning speed, but tonight, he kept zoning out. He barely made it though a few pages.
He glanced at the time. It was almost one in the moming
