Kapitel 36: Other Providence User

"Let's calm down for now. Mom hasn't shown any symptoms of her pain so far, and Malacai doesn't seem to hate her." 

"And I don't need to worry about money anymore." 

"Other than the risk from the Moroi family, there should be no real danger. It's far better than my life a few days ago."

"Still, why didn't he take me? Am I not beautiful enough?"

Finished with her shower, Nerissa returns to her room. She changes into tight jeans and a shirt. 

Sitting in front of the mirror, she combs through her long golden hair. 

"Should I put on some makeup? But Malacai doesn't seem to be the type who likes women wearing it." 

"Hmm, he always sees me with my hair down; should I tie it up today?"

Her eyes widened, and then she thought, "Why am I even trying to make him attracted to me? Weird." 

In the end, Nerissa ties her hair into a ponytail, revealing her slender neck, and then notices a hickey from last night.
