---- T don''t know what came over me.


    I rush towards him in barely a second, catching his shoulder but the gravity was yet to strike us.


    The strength of his weight, drive both of us backwards and the next thing I know we both drop into the bath tub behind with all the water in the pool sshing out.


    Breathless, I look up to only freeze We were touching and drenched His bare skin was warm under my fingers, the scent of the alcohol on his breath mingling with that cinnamon scent of his that I felt like I haven''t sniffed in ages He blinked, momentarily unfocused, as if unable understand what has happened but then his gaze found mine, clear and sharp in spite of his inebriation.


    There was a flicker of surprise in his eyeslike he hadn''t expected anyone to catch him, let alone me.


    My grip steadied, hands nted firmly against his chest, holding him as we both were literally floating ---- ee = in water.


    The flower petals sticking onto our wet bodies His breathing slowed as he looked down, his gaze drifting to where my fingers rested against his skin.


    I swallowed, unable to look away, feeling his chest rise and fall beneath my palms.


    For the first time, his usually controlled exterior was fraying, the rough edges of vulnerability showing through, giving me a glimpse of a side to him I didn''tecen knew existed in the first ce.


    Are you hurt? Physically no.


    Yet my heart...


    I couldn''t say.


    His eyes search my body with genuine concern, I shake my head in a no and he rxes.


    Tis taut arm muscles loosen.


    I thought he would move back.


    Allow me to escape.


    ---- But my eyes widen when he brought a hand up, his fingers brushing against my mask as he held my gaze, his expression somewhere between confusion and intrigue Your eyes.....


    He whispers, looking into my very soul.


    You have her eyes, Robin.


    Or.....


    is this really you? His fingers move down to remove my mask and I go stiff as a board ---- eee = Chapter 334 Y-you are mistaken, Sir.


    Texim, gripping his wrist at thest moment, stopping him.


    Our eyes sh, he continues to stare at me with that same depth that could make one drown and then that smile on his lips is back.


    He nods to pull back his hand.


    Of course Robin.


    I must be dreaming.


    After all that''s the only ce I can afford to see her now.


    His words were doing something inside me.


    Cracking something inside that I didn''t even know I owned.


    Giving him an awkward smile I press my palms on his chest and he gets up from me.


    Thear him curse under his breath as he turns away
