Chương 269: SEE YOU LATER, RUTO

"JUST TO be clear, we're not engaged," Neoma said while munching on the fresh strawberry. Ruto gave her a bowl of fresh and sweet strawberries for dessert. And now, she was enjoying the fruit while sitting on the swing in the garden. "My proposal is purely out of the goodness of my heart."

"Okay," Ruto said casually. "Tell me when you're done eating. I'll walk you home."

She frowned at that.

Right now, the two of them were seated side-by-side in the white wooden double swing in his garden. It was cold outside so Ruto wrapped her in a warm blanket earlier. Plus, he also brought a spirit stone that functioned like a heater. He attached the ruby to the swing and it was keeping them warm at the moment.

She was so comfortable that she didn't want to go home yet.

[But it's not like I want to stick to Ruto all night, okay? I just don't want to return yet because I know I'll be scolded.]

Yes, that was it.
