Chapter 107: So doomed…
Raine observed Tyrone’s movements. There seemed to be nothing to get worried about since he was back to his usual stoic expressions. The Glawackus powder worked well on him, but it was such a pity that she was the only one who could remember everything. Even so, she deserved it. She would simply have to consider it a punishment for herself.
He looked serious and focused on what he was doing, unlike just a while ago when he suddenly became a cheesy person, pampering her and smiling naughtily more often than usual. Ah, she would miss those wicked and naughty but adorable smiles... Not to mention his sweetness and thoughtfulness. He confessed his love for her, and he seemed to be his real self around her after that. His stoic personality appeared to be a facade somehow?
’Dummy! Of course, you’ll see the real him! He sees you as his woman already the moment you gave your body to him! Make sure that this will be the last time you’ll do that, Raine!’ she inwardly scolded herself. She felt bad that she had to do this. And she might even regret it later, but she honestly thought it was the right thing to do at the time, given who she was.
She sighed deeply, then grabbed another lollipop, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth as she continued working on her laptop in the living area with Tyrone. Later, she had to go out and visit the Mirage Historian, but she didn’t want to bring Tyrone with her. So she thought up a task to give him once she was out.
No one should know the identity of the Mirage Historian except for the royal families of each clan. Ah, but she was a fake, including her father and uncle Yun.
She let out another sigh.
"You’ve been eating too many lollipops now," Tyrone commented as he looked at the wrappers and lollipop sticks scattered atop the center table.
Raine didn’t respond and just gave him a half-smile, "I need this to focus..."
Folding his laptop, Tyrone asked, "Focus? Why? Are you too distracted? What’s bothering you? Maybe I can help?"
"I’m not distracted," Raine scoffed with a twitch of her mouth. "What makes you think I am?!"
Tyrone stood up from his seat and suddenly sat beside Raine while staring closely at her face.
