章節 242: Her Pink Thoughts

"Heloise...?" 

Tyler looked at the trembling girl in his arms, slightly puzzled.

In a situation like this, one would expect Heloise to question him first, "Why did you lie to me?!" 

Instead, it's as though she bypassed the most stomach-churning misunderstanding in romance dramas and went straight to the sweet parts.

"The Apostle of the Nefarious Tiger King may need a moment... Messenger of the Benevolent Deity, please, stay as you are for now."

Heloise spoke without raising her head, her words muffled by Tyler's chest. Barely audible, Tyler could hear her sobbing.

— (It seems that... I don't know you well enough yet, Heloise.) 

Tyler relaxed, gently holding the girl in his arms.

During his recent encounter with the Earthly Ghost, Tyler's mind-reading was primarily centered on the ghost, occasionally checking on Heloise's mental activity for any abnormalities.
