Chapter 815: This Kiss Is Payment

Clarice realized that after not seeing him for a few days, Herbert seemed to be deliberately distancing himself from her.

However, Clarice was a girl who became braver the more she suffered. The more you ignored me, the more I liked to pester you. Clarice pretended not to see the coldness in Herbert's eyes. She walked forward and grabbed his hand.

Before Herbert could pretend to shake off his hand, Clarice spoke first. "I heard there's an art shop in town," she said. "Julia and I aren't familiar with the town. You're local. Can you take us with you?"

Herbert wanted to refuse.

Clarice could tell and said, "Several people have gone missing recently. Julia and I will be relieved to have a local accompanying us."

He felt guilty. This time, Herbert did not refuse.
