628 PICK-ME GIRL

"ARE YOU telling me to be a bachelor forever then?"

Hmm?

Neoma was a little surprised when she heard Ruto's response. "Does it mean you think you won't ever find a girl who's more beautiful than me?"

That was shocking.

After all, she thought Ruto had already forgotten her face. Moreover, he had also lost his physical attraction to her. Hence, she couldn't believe that Ruto still considered her the most beautiful girl in the world.

[Well, he didn't say that exactly, but whatever.]

Neoma was more excited about the fact that Ruto finally laughed and smiled.

[He's been grumpy ever since we met here.]

"I'm not sure why I said that," Ruto said, his precious smile slowly vanishing. "I heard that Princess Neoma is very beautiful, though. I guess you can say I'm merely stating the obvious."

That was bittersweet to hear.
