章節 241: Must Have Been Pity

Her eyes widened before she quickly averted her eyes from mine. Seeing her meek and vulnerable side was quite a rare sight and that made me want to spend my time savoring it.

“Then, what is it that you want?” she asked, although without much interest.

“Not much. I’ll let everything slide, if you tell me why you said those things,” I replied.
