Bab 71: The slap is going to hurt

Chapter - 71

Rick, even though he could feel the sting of Evelina's slap on his cheek, didn't seem all that bothered by it. He sported a smirking grin as he rubbed his face, showing his amusement. His eyes glinted with a hint of mockery as he gazed at Evelina. He couldn't help but be a tad impressed by her boldness.

"You've got some fire in you, huh?" Rick commented, the ghost of a smirk still playing on his lips. He couldn't help but admire Evelina's tenacity. Even when faced with the lecherous old man who seemed keen on tasting her body, she had the gumption to slap Rick for a mere glance. It was an over-the-top reaction that had definitely caught his attention.

"That's quite a reaction," he noted, arching an eyebrow. "Even a bit over the top, I'd say. But you've got spirit, I'll give you that. You're definitely making things interesting."
