Chapter 191: Max Affinity! What?! (1/2)

Whatever had happened in town had utterly frightened Pumpkin Girl as her entire body was shaking. This ought to be something significant!

"Are you alright?" Jack asked with concern, rushing to her side.

Even now, she had trouble calming down, her face twisting in disgust as she reminisced.

"They felt so vile, so revolting, so horrifying, so…." She repeated over and over as if a broken record. 

This wasn't the always sunny Pumpkin Girl he knew. She was in PTSD mode. He wordlessly dragged her into an embrace as she nestled herself against his chest. 

The sound of his heartbeat slowly lulled her back into a peaceful state. Her breathing calmed down as she finally regained her senses, blushing a cute crimson. 

But she did not move one bit. She enjoyed his warmth, feeling safe in his arms…

She even found herself wishing that he could guard her farm and her forever as he had done the past days.
