Chapter 331: But that only applies to everyone else besides Leo
"Then, what made you rage?" Alice asked.
Mark stayed silent for a moment, recollecting his thoughts. He was jealous, but he could not admit that fact for fear that Alice would take a hint and figure out he had feelings for her.
So, he decided to ask something else. Something that had been troubling him since earlier.
"Alice," he called softly. "Do you not feel awkward when you walk around naked in front of the other gender?" He asked her. "Like earlier... You were naked in his presence, right? Do you... Honestly not mind him seeing you without clothes? I just can’t..." He gritted his teeth. "Imagine you feeling okay about it."
"But I don’t feel anything about it though." She said, startling him. "Maybe in a normal sense, for those who lived normal lives, it would be a big deal but... I understand your concern."
Mark’s heart thumped. He watched her as her eyes slowly fell in dismissal. He wasn’t trying to berate her or anything. He just... Didn’t like the fact that Leo so nonchalantly stayed in the same room with her when she was naked.
He even followed her into the bathroom and she still felt nothing about it. Just... How much did they condemn her natural thinking for her to feel nothing about it?
It made him tremble in anger.
"Mark, did you know, I used to despise it when the men back at the den would look at me when I was bare?" Alice said and he lifted his head.
Her expression wasn’t as serious as it used to and she actually looked quite pained, though she wasn’t keeping eye contact with him.
"It made my skin crawl, and I gritted my teeth in disgust, but they made us believe it was normal to not feel shame when standing naked in front of the opposite sex, and I grew up with that mentality. Yet, even when I knew it was ’normal’ I could not stand to feel disgusted when they laid eyes on me. Even when I was clothed, the feeling of disgust was still there, so I never really attributed that disgust to being seen naked."
