Chapter 356: An Exception
Seven Sins System Chapter 356. An Exception
"I can't," she said, her voice steady, but there was a sadness there I couldn't ignore. It was like she was stuck, caught between a choice she didn't entirely own.
My curiosity flared. 'Hmm… Is this tied to her condition? ' The thought churned in my mind, and I couldn't help but think back to her past rants about her uncontrollable powers. It clicked—this had to be about that.
'Do you also have something inside you? ' The question teased my lips, but I held it back. Revealing my suspicions about the legendary demon trapped within me wasn't exactly on the agenda. It was tempting to ask, but I decided to keep my cards close.
Instead, I reminded myself 'Not my problem. If she wants to be naive, let her.' A sly grin tugged at my lips. Her naivety wasn't a weakness—it was leverage. But still, it made trusting her judgment a gamble.
"Alright, I won't push you. Just eat your breakfast," I said, shifting to a calmer tone.
She didn't say a word, just grabbed her sandwich and left the room. It was weird seeing her so obedient, especially for a goddess who usually carried herself like royalty. But I couldn't shake the nagging thoughts about her struggle—what could make a goddess lose control of her divine abilities?
Once the door closed behind her, I stared at the spot she'd just exited, my mind spinning. 'What could drive her powers to spiral like that? Is she hiding it from her mother? ' The idea made me chuckle—ironic and hilarious at the same time.
