Chapter 213 - Endless Spiral (2/2)

”Huh?” Rhys looked at her puzzled.

”That is. I don't know much about you,” Lyn mumbled, and yet people think they are a couple. She can't really be called his friend either since she doesn't even know the most basic information about him. Even Beth is surprised with how little she knew.

...

West of the mansion

A deep sigh escaped her lips, how on earth did things end up like this? Why on earth were those people fooling around with water magic right at that time? To think they both ended up getting drenched with cold water like that. Such lousy timing, the two of them had a pleasant atmosphere there. But now, surely Rhys will try to harass her.

Rhys opened the door in a towel.

Of course, he does.

Lyn forcefully stares into his eyes and clarifies that she has no intention of looking away from them, ever. If she looks away from him and acts all fl.u.s.tered, then he will win. The best way to deal with this type of person is to look him in the eyes and show him that she isn't afraid. Lyn was so focused on trying to win against him that she didn't realize that Rhys had locked the door right until he walked over to her.

”You should—” Lyn struggles to explain. He glances at her as he rubbed his damp hair with the towel.

”What?” Rhys mutters, but considering how he was looking at her directly in the eyes Lyn hesitated. Lyn never understood why Rhys paid so much attention to her, why he fell for her, anyway.

Lyn looked away, ”Beth,” she reminded him. He just did it with Beth, surely Rhys wouldn't try anything strange?

”You're blushing,” Rhys finally noticed as he took a few steps forward.

Lyn jumped, ”No, I—”

”So cute,” Rhys chuckled, and that was when he let the towel drop down his shoulders. The towel around his waist looked like it would slip too. Gosh, this man is so cruel.

”Beth!” Lyn reminded him. She scrambles backward, and her back ends up hitting the wall. Rhys walked over and crawled over to her.

”Saying someone else's name. I'm jealous.”

”No, you aren't,” Lyn glared at Rhys, ”Please stop it.” What is he trying to do? She thought she already escaped those perverted and scary Knights. Why is he starting to act like them too? She thought she would be safe if she went with Rhys.

”Stop what?” Rhys repeated, half amused, half curious.

”Stop...” Lyn paused, 'Seducing me?' Aahhh, that's not the right word! ”Don't distract me.”

”I could put a shirt on,” he offers seductively. Aahhh, Lyn wanted to hit him. But if she made too much noise here, the servants would come rushing over.

”No, that's not it,” Lyn mumbled. While he was distracting her that way too. Lyn didn't want him to feel satisfied.

This is a huge disaster, even if Shu is suspicious, maybe it would have been better to stay with him instead of this stupid pervert.

”I came here so that we could have a serious talk.”

”Let's not,” she flinched when she felt his hands on her legs. ”Lyn, don't make too much noise. What will the servants think?”

The servants? They would surely come in here and misunderstand the situation; Lyn didn't want that to happen.

”You're so sensitive behind your ears,” Rhys murmured as he licked her earlobe. Lyn flinched, ahhh this pervert! Next time if she had to choose between a suspicious guy and pervert, she would choose the former.

Lyn sent him a harsh glare, Rhys can't keep dodging the topic forever. It was clear that something happened with Beth, and that's why he is in a bad mood, right?

”I don't want to talk about her,” he interrupts.

Rhys. Rhys is still a jerk. Even if he is kind to her now, there is no doubt that he is still a jerk.

”You need to listen to me.”

”I always listen to you.”

”Beth is—we're hurting her,” Lyn told him. Even though she isn't doing anything to return Rhys feelings. Whenever they are together, she knows the other girl is hurt.

”I'm hurting her.”

Rhys words surprised Lyn, and her eyes widened.
