Chapter 441: 441. A Tiny Scar

"You didn't mind spending time with him even though he should be a complete stranger to you. You humor his compliments and not once have you been scared of him. In fact, you seem to be very at ease with him."

Mauve looked at Jael unsure of how to respond to this. He wasn't wrong but she didn't think he was paying this much attention to her that he would notice such. She had barely spent that much time in Louis's presence.

The fact that he was saying all this meant he had been paying close attention. She wasn't sure if she should be flattered or annoyed.

"He is nice to me," she replied for a lack of what to say.

"Are you saying I am not?" He asked darkly.

"I didn't say that Jael. I am just saying it's a bit hard to be rude to him if he isn't rude to me."

"Are you nice to everyone that's nice to you?" He asked, obviously not dripping the subject.
