Chapter 149

He shut his eyes and covered her with the duvet, but that was a mistake. With his eyes closed, he couldn't see Rubica turning. His fingers then touched something soft and warm.

"Agh!"

His eyes snapped open. It was good that he had just covered her entirely. If he had seen her face, he would have failed to control himself.

'What, what did I just… touch?'

He looked down at his fingers. The softness had felt nothing like his own hard skin.

'Oh, what on earth are you thinking, woman?'

Edgar silently protested to Rubica who was sleeping soundly without noticing a thing, but that protest couldn't last long. He had to leave the room before he turned into a beast.

Carl had been waiting outside and was surprised to see Edgar suddenly jump out the door with a fiery red face.

"Have you seen it?"

However, Edgar said nothing and just went past the butler while running.
