章 1722: De-escalating Their Relationship

Somehow, she believed that boiling water was better. While she waited for the water to boil, Nox finished his cup of water and brought to cup to the kitchen.

Shelly naturally took it and was prepared to wash it when Nox stopped her. "I'll wash it myself."

Shelly nodded. "Alright."

Just as Nox was about to wash it, he thought of what Shelly said about him not doing anything right and felt like he was causing trouble for Shelly.

Hence, he thought about it and said, "You should wash it."

Shelly looked at Nox, who she found a little weird sometimes. Nevertheless, she took Nox's cup and rinsed it. Then, she wiped it down with a towel before placing it back in the cupboard.

Nox observed her silently. If he had washed it himself, he would probably have just washed it and left it at the side. As such, he noted down what Shelly did in his mind.

"It's getting late. You should go wash up. I'll go back to the room after the water boils."
