Chapter 42 His Strange Question

• After having dinner, Arthur walked away without looking at me. I took April to her room and read a Cinderella story to her, She quickly slipped into a deep slumber. I pulled the blanket over her and slowly walked out of the room.
• I walked back to my room and closed the door before walking to my bed, I climbed onto my bed and pulled the blanket over me. I lay on my left side while staring into space, the way he kept staring at me when I said to him about the rules flashed in front of my eyes. A smile made its way up to my lips when I remembered it. I liked the way he kept touching my cheek while he said what happened on his 17th birthday.
• The look he had on his face when he said what Lexi did was so funny that I couldn't control myself at all, I never thought he hated kids for that reason. As I kept smiling, remembering his behaviour, I heard my room door open. I jumped in fear and saw Arthur walking in while closing the door quietly, "Ar-Arthur?" I stuttered in a surprised and nervous tone.
