Chapter 66: Picnic (1)
[Physis' POV]
After Adilun gave her bold answers to my family, her behavior changed even more aggressively.
Now it wasn't just limited to training. Whatever I did, she always moved with me, occasionally holding my hand, clasping our hand, or linking arms with me.
Especially when maids or servants were nearby, this tendency became more pronounced, as if boasting everywhere that this person was mine.
It was not that I disliked these actions. No, I was overflowing with happiness. However, if there was a problem, it was that every time that happened, my heart would skip a beat and my desire for her would intensify.
Due to Adilune's increasing seduction, I even started abstaining from alcohol altogether. I wasn't the type to enjoy drinking, but I used to drink occasionally to change my mood...But ever since Adilun came to Ortaire, I hadn't touched alcohol at all.
I couldn't afford to waste the time I had patiently endured by drinking for no reason.
At first glance, the change in Adilun felt dramatic. But now I felt like I knew a little bit about her. Her proactive and reckless nature must be a part of her original personality.
I didn't know that my change would bring such happiness to her. If I looked at her recently, there were moments when I suddenly burst into laughter.
How could I hate her, and how could I not love her when she confidently showed off her charms to me?
But that was why I had to be even more careful.
Even in my past life, it was the same. I had seen countless people ruin their relationships with their loved ones by showing their worst sides. So, I knew all too well how it leads to a downfall.
