Why Would I Be Jealous (2)

Anna hurriedly put down the glass of wine and walked over to hug her: “Why are you crying all of a sudden? The celebratory cry should wait until the results come out.”

“Waaaa…I’m actually ha-happy! How did I get so lucky to meet you, Anna! Maybe I, I am the goddess’s favored person in this world, that she sent you to me…” Natalie cried and stammered.

“I’m also very happy to have been able to meet you, Natalie. You are my only friend in this world.” Anna stroked Natalie’s damp hair and smiled.

“Re—really?” Natalie looked at Anna in surprise, and the tears flowed even more fiercely. “I’m so lucky! I’m so happy!”

“Okay, okay, I’m as happy as you are…”

Anna hugged Natalie and soothed her for a while, before Natalie gradually stopped sobbing. He eyes were red, and she looked at Anna, embarrassed, and whispered: “So-sorry, I lost my composure…”

“It’s okay, a true friend, should be by your side when you cry.” Anna returned to her seat and raised her glass, “Let’s toast to our friendship.”

When Anna finished speaking, she remembered the kind of emoji only the elderly used, and couldn’t help laughing. Seeing that Natalie had started drinking from the glass, she also took a sip.

The wine had a fragrance of plums and a very light astringency, as well as the sweetness and fermented taste, like the breeze in the shade of a summer afternoon. It was refreshing.

“It’s really good!” Anna praised and took another sip.

Seeing that Anna liked it, Natalie smiled until her eyes squinted: “I told you it was delicious! I like it a lot!”

When she went back in the evening, Anna was a little drunk, but she didn’t drink too much. She stopped after drinking one drink, but Natalie seemed to have been in a good mood and drank a lot. She settled Natalie in bed before left.

Anna didn’t let the Wright family’s coachman bring her home. She walked back slowly to dissipate the alcohol.

The moon had come out. Tonight was a full moon. The disc-like moon hung in the sky so brightly, illuminating everything on the ground.

Because Anna didn’t wear a mage robe, a little thief who didn’t know better saw that a small girl like Anna walking on the road and thought to rob her, but was scared away by the flames that rose from her palm. She didn’t chase after the thief after he ran away scared; she just strolled casually back home.

She thought about a lot of things. She thought of the demon deceiving her, his occupation in her life, the promotion assessment that was in ten days, and the abnormality at the line of life and death…

She remembered that it seemed like less than four months had passed since her time-travel, but so many things had already happened. This really proved the saying that time-traveling women had more matters.

When Anna walked slowly to her residence, she found a familiar carriage parked near the house.

She walked over and knocked on the car door. When the door opened, the demon appeared against Raymond’s face, his expression a little unsightly.

“Do you know what time it is?” Rothgarr asked coldly.

Anna lightly chuckled: “Is it any of your business?”

Rothgarr frowned. He didn’t say anything in the morning, but after thinking about the “bath” that Anna spoke about, he felt uncomfortable the more he thought about it. Although Natalie was also a woman,… they shouldn’t bathe together, right?

Just as he was about to speak, the light of the moon, which had just been blocked by the dark clouds, suddenly shone down on the earth, and he could clearly see what Anna looked like at the moment.

The centipede braids that Anna usually tied her hair up in for the convenience of doing things had long been disbanded. Her long reddish-brown hair was draped over her shoulders like seaweed. The fabric near her neckline was slightly damp, while the shirt underneath her riding suit that was supposed to be buttoned up to the neck had the first two buttons unbuttoned, revealing a small section of fair skin.

Her eyes were slightly narrowed, her lips were red, and her cheeks were also glowing red, giving off a lazy but sexy aura.

The look on Anna’s face that day in the potion lab after accidentally inhaling the seduction potion suddenly surfaced in Rothgarr’s mind.

At the same time, he smelled a very faint scent of alcohol.

“Have you been drinking?” He frowned.

The night and the alcohol made Anna go against the demon without hesitation, but she wasn’t really drunk after all, and she felt good after winning once. Hearing this, she raised her hand and made a very small gesture: “I just drank a small cup.”

“A small cup?” Rothgarr sneered in disbelief.

Anna said, “I just drank with Natalie, just a little. Smell me if you don’t believe me, I don’t have any alcohol scent on me.”

Anna tugged her sleeves and reached out to the demon.

Rothgarr ignored Anna’s outstretched hand. He looked at her and said, “Anna, you said you didn’t like women, you weren’t lying to me, were you?”

Anna was a little dumbfounded, why was he still fixated on this topic? It couldn’t be because she chose Natalie instead of him and Leon, could it?

But she was really worried that the demon would possess Natalie and make her life difficult. After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, “Raymond, I chose Natalie, so you are jealous, right?”

Rothgarr frowned, jealous? Heh, how could he, the grand Duke of The Abyss, be jealous of a human woman?

He was just worried that Anna liking a woman would ruin his previous efforts!
