章 97: Gone to the witch's house - Part 1

"Luke!!" Violet snatched the book away from me, her eyes wide and her cheeks red. "W-why are you reading this?" 

The desire to tease her arose as soon as I noticed what she was reading, but it only grew stronger after seeing her so flustered. It was always so amusing to watch her with flushed cheeks.

I slumped to one side, my elbow resting on the sofa and my head propped against my fist. I stared at her without saying any words, but it appeared that my gaze had made her cheeks flush even more—or perhaps it was the smirk on my lips.

"Y-you shouldn't look into someone else's belongings." She grew restless, her eyes darting everywhere to avoid my eyes. She then pulled the blanket away from her and tried to stand, but I quickly took hold of her hand. She let out a little yelp as I pulled her back to her seat.
