For a moment Chloe had a glance towards the wall where Revan and the others were hiding, She was sure not only Revan had heard her conversation with Mr. Ezra earlier. The girl decided to ignore their whereabouts and just passed down the stairs.
It made Ash stunned, and the others stared in surprise. Obviously they're hiding behind a wall near the stairs, so Chloe should have seen them, right? This is just passing by as if I didn't see anything or maybe Chloe saw them but was intentionally ignored?
"Did he know we were here, so he ignored us?" Al asked with a confused look.
"Looks like she was, maybe Chloe was angry because we eavesdropped on their conversation," Ash felt guilty, He shouldn't have eavesdropped and stopped his siblings. Ah, he's going awry now.
Kenzo exhaled slowly and then turned down the stairs. "I'll be back later,"
"Huh! We better get Vallen home, "Take Xavier step away.
"Yes," Vallen followed Xavier then turned to look at Michelle brother while waving her hand and smiling sideways. "Bye bye, don't miss ya. We go first,"
Revan stared ferociously, Squeezing his zambrut green netra. "Don't just talk to you! We won't miss you guys!"
Vallen just stuck out his tongue scoffing and sped up the pace following Xavier. While Ash patted Revan's shoulder slowly which stiffened because of anger.
"That's Revan, don't you serve it. He's just getting more and more into it" Ash said.
"Emang yes, Maximillian brother is very happy to make us emotional," Al rotated his eyes panted before stepping away.
Revan grieves, Ash shakes his shoulders before following Al away and is followed by Revan who is still emotionally overwhelmed by Vallen's words.

Nah! Nah! Nah!
Slowly Chloe cut the vegetables she had washed before. He is currently in the kitchen and making porridge for Ezra. After cutting it he put the vegetable pieces in a pot that already contained half-cooked porridge.
Chloe stirred for a moment, flattening the herbs she just put in.
While Chloe was busy with her activities, Slowly the sound of footsteps could be heard echoing through the kitchen. Until a familiar voice is heard, Chloe's activity stops for a moment.
"What are you cooking?"
The girl turned her head, Looking for the owner of the voice until she found Leon standing far behind her.
"Oh, I'm cooking porridge for Mr. Ezra. My friend needs a healthy diet for his recovery, "Chloe turned her head for a moment before resuming her activities.
Leo's forehead puckered slightly, He approached Chloe while looking at the porridge that was still cooked.
"Well, can this kid cook? Just the first time I saw him cook like this, I don't know why I suddenly doubted his cooking ability" Leon thought with an unpredictable expression.
"Aren't you going to try my cooking? I want to know what you think, so I can tell you what the spice is lacking," Said Chloe smiled faintly, The girl took a little porridge with her spoon and thrust at Leon. "this...,"
"If you don't cook it well, I won't let you near the kitchen again including helping me and Leo cook" said Leon flatly, He took over the spoon in Chloe's hand.
"That's a business lately, what's important is that I volunteer to make this meal for my friend,"
Leon didn't answer, he ignored Chloe's words. Then his tongue tasted a little porridge that was scooped it. Tasting an incredible taste in his tongue.
"Huh! How could?! Although only porridge but it tastes even more delicious and exactly like the cuisine made by Brother Eli. Although it was only the first time he cooked here but the first experiment was immediately successful. All the porridge taste was very fitting," Leon moved away his spoon, looking at Chloe who was looking back at him with bright sparkling neutrals.
"How does it feel?" Ask Chloe enthusiastically.
Leon glanced while putting on his flat expression. "Yes.lumayan, I don't think it's necessary to add any more seasoning,"
"Thank God, I hope Mr. Ezra likes it," Chloe smiled cheerfully, Turn off the stove and immediately poured the porridge into the bowl carefully.
Leon furrowed his brows. "You're just making porridge for your friend? Not for us?"
"No, I'm just making for two servings. You don't get sick anyway, so there's no need to eat porridge. I also don't want to bother Leon and Leo's brother to cook," Chloe put the two bowls into a tray along with two glasses of mineral water and brought them over. "I'll wash the pancakes when I'm done eating,"
The girl gawked away leaving Leon speechless, as if an invisible arrow was piercing her heart. The man snorted.
"Basic! The boy did not help at all. Huh! Who needs his help?! Leo and I can make our own food for this family!" Leon grumbled, Put Chloe's used pot into the sink and put on her apron. He started taking food for lunch.
***************
Cklek!
Footsteps lead her into Ezra's room, Slowly Chloe puts the tray on top of the nightstand. He picked up a bouquet of flowers lying on the floor. Chloe took the flowers and put them in a vase, and the scent of roses and orchids filled the room.
The girl also took a bag of her snacks and put them beside the nightstand. As her blue net looked at the slumbering face of Ezra, The peaceful face was clearly imprinted from the handsome face of the man.
Chloe tilted a gentle smile, She shook Ezra's shoulder slowly.
"Sir, Wake. I've brought her the porridge, it's time to eat," Finding Ezra not responding to anything, Chloe shook Ezra's shoulder a little harder this time. "Sir!"
"Did Ezra faint again? The feeling today that she's been sleeping a lot" Chloe put her hand away, her brain thought hard about how Ezra could wake up from her sleep. "Ezra sir thought, 'Him is the Princess sleeping?"
As soon as a mischievous idea crossed Chloe's mind, the girl lowered her body and whispered right in Ezra's ears. "Sir Ezra, Wake up! Later I don't want to nurse Mr. Ezra again if Mr. Ezra is difficult to build you know~"
Netraanya glanced, Too bad Ezra is still at home in his sleep. The girl distanced her face while sighing softly. The idea failed, Ezra still did not respond.
"Haah~, Kuburu cool the porridge. Yes, I'll be back later" Chloe turned around intending to take the tray. But had not had time to take the tray, Chloe felt her hand pulled to make her dragged down hit the mattress.
Now that her body was drowning in someone's arms, Sontak Chloe turned her head to the side rather frantically. Finding Ezra who was looking back at him, the Emerland green Netra glinted sharply.
"Badung girl! I've lost don't tease me! I'm sick again, but you keep doing it,"
Suddenly Chloe grew panicked feeling Ezra's tightened embrace. "Eh?! W-Wait a minute sir! I don't mean it, I just want to wake up, Dad,"
"Why are you whispering so?!"
"I told you I just want to wake up, Dad! Mr. Ezra was the one who slept continuously," Bela Chloe with her cheeks flushed because it turned out that Ezra heard all of her words.
Ezra smiled faintly, He held back a laugh looking at Chloe who looked wrongly behaved. I don't know why it looks funny to him.
"Basic! You always have a lot of reasons to avoid,"
"I-I'm not avoiding!" Chloe glanced the other way, Avoiding Ezra's gaze. He was sure his face would have been flushed by now.
"Oh yeah? How about this?" Ezra rubbed Chloe's lips with her thumb, Smiling a smirk on her handsome face. He felt happy when he saw the face of this girl in front of him blushing.
Chloe was stunned for a moment, the green Netra seemed to make Chloe could see the other side of Ezra. As if making it can be washed away in the sparkle of the green gem of Emerland, especially when Chloe realized the face of the man before her was getting closer.
But instead of kissing on the lips, the man silenced Chloe's lips with his right hand and then kissed her own back as if making her own hand a barrier between herself and Chloe.
The cup!
Ezra moved his face away while smiling with satisfaction. "For now kiss her at the vice first. You said you didn't want to catch my pain, did you?"
Chloe did not reply, The girl's eyes only blinked with a gawking look. Not getting any response, Ezra distanced his hand and then after touching the girl's forehead a bit tight.
No!
"Aawws!"
Chloe regained her senses as she felt her forehead throbbing in pain, while holding her forehead the girl protested. "Sir Ezra! Why is my forehead flushed again?!"
Ezra snorted with a sour expression. Without answering Chloe's previous question, she opened her voice. "I was wondering, what are you thinking in your little head?"
Then a cynical grin was again imprinted on her face while pointing at Chloe's forehead with her index finger. "Oh, or don't-don't you think anything?"
Chloe's face turned red and shook quickly. "Where possible! Don't you think Ezra's the one who deliberately harmed me, let me be ashamed?!" Tuding Chloe back.
Ezra simply held back a laugh while glancing in the other direction. "Maybe, let it break even. Your own fault trashed me first, you think I really slept? I just closed my eyes,"
"Ukhs...I've guessed, Mr. Ezra must have been intentional to get back at me earlier," Chloe thought in a moment of annoyance. It's like Ezra's trap, or maybe it's your weapon of prey?
"Where's the porridge? I want to get back to rest, right away,"
Chloe picked up a bowl of porridge, while Ezra slowly changed her position to sit down.
"Now, do not rest before taking the medicine" said the girl as she thrust the bowl before Ezra.
"I know," He took the bowl, let Chloe sit on the side of the bed.
Chloe took the other bowl and ate the porridge, Sometimes the blue net glanced at Ezra who was busy eating his porridge.
"I wonder, Mr. Ezra's nature is sometimes fickle. He was easily ignited emotions but not for long it was also easy to be kind, although the beginning met more rude but I am relieved now Mr. Ezra more open to me. Although his attitude quickly changed according to his mood, but at least Mr. Ezra is not as rough as before,"
Chloe chews her porridge while daydreaming at the vase, until Ezra's voice resuscitates Chloe from her daydream.
"That flower you bought?"
"Oh..," Chloe blinked and looked at Ezra who was staring at the vase. "Yes, let Mr. Ezra feel fresher when he wakes up. And also let this room filled with floral scents and fresher, I'm not allergic to flowers right?"
"Son, it's just that the orchid flowers remind me of the orchid flowers you gave me first,"
"The father still keeps them, yes, where are the flowers?" Chloe smiled a little.
"There's my house, I told you before that I'd use the flower as a book divider," Ezra finished the porridge and put it in a tray, and then put it in a tray, Slowly he drank half of the mineral water after that followed by the drug that Chloe brought.
"So you've kept it until now, yeah, I'm curious how the flowers look now after all these years" Chloe turned her head, Instantly he was somewhat surprised to learn that Ezra had taken the medicine he had placed on the nightstand. "Sir! You read the directions, right?!"
"Udah, I know it too. Don't panic, I'm not a child" said Ezra calmly, He put down his glass.
Chloe exhaled, she thought Ezra was drinking. The girl hurriedly finished her porridge and drank her mineral water until she was not left alone.
NAH!
"Yes, you rest again. I also want this rest, too," Chloe put her bowl of porridge and empty glass in the tray, Prepare to carry the tray.
Ezra just silently watched Chloe move until her gaze fell on Chloe's left shoulder. "Your shoulders...Why bandaged?"
Chloe looked at his shoulder for a moment. "Oh this, I got hurt fighting Vivian. He managed to stick his sword into my shoulder before the sword was covered with poison first. It's a good thing that the poison has been removed, so I also took the medicine to neutralize the remains of the poison,"
Green Netra Ezra widened in shock, He looked on in disbelief. "Vivian is coming again? Seriously?!"
"Yes, I was forced to fight him because he made Ivy his prisoner" Chloe nodded.
"Did he bring his members? Why are you fighting alone? Why not ask for my help?!" Ezra asked repeatedly, He was upset because Chloe fought Vivian alone at that time. She only feels anxious if something bad happens to Chloe, especially she does not want Aiden's sacrifice to give her heart to Chloe ended in vain.
"She didn't bring her members, Only Liam came during the last seconds of our fight," Chloe slightly lowered her head, She smiled clumsily. "Sorry Mr. Ezra, I was panicking so I didn't think about calling you,"
Ezra let out a rough sigh, He ruffled his hair for a moment, Staring in annoyance. "Next call me when you see him again! Do not act rashly alone, They are not an easy opponent to defeat in a single fight! You understand?!"
Chloe looked at Ezra's irritated face, Her outstretched hand rubbing as well as tidying Ezra's messy hair. A sweet smile spread on her lips. "Yes, I understand sir. Next time I'll ask your father for help if I meet them. I understand you're worried about me,"
Ezra still had a silent expression, but she let Chloe wipe her hair. I have no intention of pulling the girl's hand. For a moment Chloe faintly heard a small snoring from Ezra, Either just her hallucination or Ezra actually snored?
The man lowered his head, making Chloe more freely rub the man's hair. He tilted his head in confusion, until Ezra's voice came back.
"Not worried, I'm just worried that you're taking another life like you were in the hospital at the time. I don't want to be alone anymore" Chloe's heart thumped as Ezra's head looked up, The man looked at her with a sad look as if it were a puppy losing its master.
The deg! The deg! The deg!
Now Chloe's face is blushing thin, in her eyes now Ezra looks like a moody puppy but at the same time also looks cute.
"God, what the fuck is that expression?! It's hard to tell if Ezra's a puppy or a wolf? She even looks cute with that expression but also looks like a puppy who lost her master (Justin)," Chloe's head shook slowly. Wrestling with his own mind. "Be aware Chloe, Mr. Ezra is a grown man not a child who can be said to be cute, you are the same with animals anyway?!" Chloe in my heart.
Well, Chloe admits Ezra does look more like a puppy if it's that expression. The girl cleared her throat slowly to dispel her strange thoughts earlier, Although a faint red hue still adorned her cheeks.
Now he keeps his hands away from Ezra's hair. "Y-Yes, I can't leave Ezra sir. I'm the one who asked Mr. Ezra not to leave me, either,"
"Oh, right too. I promised you and you promised me. So don't break the promise, I'll find you all over the world if you deny it, "Ezra's smiling now, like a cheerful puppy. As Chloe's face grew redder, Ah Ezra now actually looked like a happy puppy.
"Aarr! Stop this weird situation. My mind's gone awry because of Ezra sir!" Chloe shrieked inwardly as she covered her face with both palms.
"That should have been my word as a child!" Chloe protested peeking out from between her fingers.
"But you glad that I also said what you said back then?"
Chloe was silent, she did not dodge and just nodded her head. Chloe moved her hands away from her face, revealing her flushed face. Then the netra glanced at the vase that was nearby, With immediately the girl took one of the orchid flowers from there and thrust right in front of Ezra. He looked embarrassed.
"These flowers I bought specifically for Mr. Ezra, so let Mr. Ezra sleep is not a nightmare," said Chloe somewhat stuttered still down.
"Ah, why is my voice so stammering like this? I'm feeling weird about myself, could it be because of Ezra?" Thought Chloe was trying to calm her fast-paced heartbeat.
"So you want me to always dream of you?" Chloe felt Ezra's grasp on the flower in her hand as Ezra clutched her hand.
Hearing Ezra's words, the girl looked up. The red hue still adorned his face.
"No, I misunderstood. I'm.., uh...,"
Not yet had Chloe finished her sentence, Ezra pulled Chloe's body closer. Fortunately, the girl was quick to hold the side of the mattress with one of her hands so that she did not fall into Ezra's arms. The distance between the two is only a few cm. Ezra was still holding Chloe's hand holding the flowers.
"I'm glad you care about me, and thank you for buying me this flower. I will continue to dream of you. Can I have a kiss before I go to bed?" Ezra smiled happily, Slowly taking over the flower in Chloe's hand.
"Ci-Kiss...?" Chloe's face flushed like a ripe tomato, The longer she's been here, for some reason she's always been tempted by Ezra. Or maybe just his feelings?
"Ukh! It's really hard. Sometimes Mr Ezra is like a puppy and sometimes he is like a wolf?! Ah, if this keeps me stuck with him, Manalagi Pak Ezra godain continues," How very much Chloe wants to run away from there, her heart continues to beat fast every Ezra pulls her closer like this.
The girl was nervous, Realizing Chloe was silent. Ezra moved his hand away, His expression turning moody.
"You don't want to? That's okay, my request is also a bit excessive. Then I rest first," Ezra pulled the blanket, Still with a gloomy face.
Chloe was hysterical in her heart. "No! Don't show a moody expression like a puppy so sir! Ah, my heart is not strong to see it!"
Chloe held Ezra's hand, and Ezra looked up with astonished eyes. The girl held both of Ezra's shoulders and kissed the gentle young man on the forehead.
The cup!
Chloe moved away the face with a thin hue adorning her cheeks, while Ezra stared silently as she blinked her eyes.
"Happy rest sir! Have a good dream,"
A faint smile bloomed in the green-toothed young man. "May you be in my dream,"
Unable to resist Ezra's temptation, Chloe without saying anything rushed to pick up the tray still with a flushed face and took it out leaving Ezra still smiling considering Chloe's kiss on her forehead.
Blam it!
Ezra's gaze fell on the flower in his hand, then hugged the flower slowly. Imagining the figure of Chloe he embraced, the fragrance of flowers filled his sense of smell.
"Until you buy this flower specifically for me, may I wish she had the same feelings as me even if it was just a little?" Guman Ezra to himself then he sighed. "Don't expect much of Ezra, he could have liked Ian his childhood friend more than I had this bad attitude,"
Ezra patted both cheeks slowly, trying to realize that there was still Ian who also liked Chloe. Although Ezra honestly doubted that, because every time he tried to tease Chloe, the girl's face was always flushed red. Ezra smiled again, I don't think he regretted kissing the girl.
"I don't feel sorry for doing it. I liked that bashful face," muttered Ezra still smiling, Then he patted her on the cheek again. "Ah, Nevermind. If I keep thinking I can't even sleep,"
The man pulled the blanket up to his chest while hugging the flower, Slowly falling asleep, into the subconscious.
