Chapter 41: Secret? What if?
"Hmph! Those are the excuses the weak ones give." Helena ruthlessly insulted him.
"You!!" He pointed his finger at her in anger. "You should stop watching romantic movies and reading novels. Those all are fake in the first place. They are corrupting your mind."
"Fake? Didn’t you see the man in the movie we watched last time break the glass of a car with his hand? That is bulletproof glass, you know? Still, he did that. How can you not even break this little box?" Helena pouted.
"Are you an idiot? That is a bulletproof glass? They just show us that that’s a bulletproof glass. In reality, it is made of sugar. It would break with just a touch. Not just me, but even a little kid can break that glass. How can you compare that fake male lead to me, a real man?" Vernon felt frustrated.
Hasn’t she always been too smart? Why did she become so dumb all of a sudden?
[Aww! So cute. He finally started to talk freely with me just like before. Let him think I am dumb and an idiot. Who cares? As long as he returns to normal.]
"..." (So that was all a plan? I fell into a trap just like that?)
"I am not an idiot. I am just saying that you are too weak. You start massaging your hands after holding me for a couple of seconds. What are you if not weak?" Despite her contradictory thoughts, she was arguing with him on the surface.
Vernon sighed. He couldn’t catch up with her multiple thoughts at the same time. He just lowered his head and said, "I am sorry for being too weak."
