Bab 235: The Second Step of Turning

"Eh?" 

"Eh—???!" 

Observing Heloise's surprise, Tyler remained unperturbed. 

This was precisely the reaction he aimed to elicit.

There is a psychological trick: when making a request, if you first ask for something excessive, then follow up with a more reasonable request, the latter is often more readily accepted than if it were asked alone. 

Tyler's goal was to have Heloise agree that if "someone" came looking for her at night, she would call him and not meet them alone. 

The proposition of sharing a room was merely the "excessive request" he made deliberately.

"Well... okay then." 

To Tyler's surprise, Heloise actually agreed.

(Eh…?) 

Observing Heloise's bashful demeanour and her inner thoughts, Tyler was momentarily speechless. 

He hadn't expected that Heloise's desire to attract Felix's marriage proposal was sincere!
