Chapter 188: I Can Do Both

Cynthia Ross blushed slightly, her cheeks warming at his words. This bastard is too shameless, she thought, shaking her head before quickly closing the door to hide her embarrassment. Klaus grinned, watching her reaction, before heading back to his own home.

"How was your outing?" she asked, stroking his hair like she always did.

"Better than I expected," Klaus replied with a smirk. Indeed, it had turned out far more interesting than he imagined. The War Goddess, who knew all too well what Klaus had been up to, narrowed her eyes.
