Chapter 554: Nightmare (2)
"Me?" Noir asked.
Eugene could not immediately grasp her words, a reaction likely shared by anyone in his position.
Today, Eugene had come with significant resolve, having steeled his emotions over several days and even penned a will in anticipation of the worst outcome.
Hearing such nonsensical talk right from the start left him without even the capacity to feel incredulous. Nor was he angry. Rather, Eugene found Noir’s demeanor so characteristic of her that it was somewhat fitting.
"What do you mean, ‘you’? What are you talking about?" he snapped.
"Oh dear, oh dear, you’re making me embarrassed. Hamel, isn't it too mischievous of you to demand an answer directly from me?" Noir responded, her hands cupping her cheeks as she giggled.
She gently swayed her hips and shrugged her shoulders while sneaking glances at Eugene.
"Are you really curious? Do you wish to hear it from my lips directly? It wouldn’t be hard, but hmm, I'd rather you said it yourself,” she continued.
Noir’s attire changed subtly. She no longer had an apron draped over her casual clothes. Instead, she wore only an apron, her body otherwise bare.
