Chapter 975: My Beautiful Monster Part 76

SUMIRE

"Did you never think of leaving? I think he would have let you."

Toh paused but nodded. "Yes, Lucifer did give me the option. Each year when my contract was due to renew. He would ask me if I still wanted to continue. When I was a child, I didn't have much of a choice, but when I grew older? I could have left anytime, especially since I built my own network and pursued my goal to become a designer."

"Yet you remained?"

"Deep down, I understood it was already too late to go back. I have stained my hands with blood countless times. I have done unspeakable things. I have repeatedly broken the law. I thought there was no salvation for me. I saw that Lucifer was the same way, and decided it would be better to stick with him." Toh runs his hand on her back. 

A content sigh escaped her lips. Even if her time together with this person is blurry, his touches are so comforting.
