A tall and upright figure stood next to the car


    Mnie changed her steps, walking to the other side. However, she soon heard Eugene’s husky and


    slightly deep voice. “It’s gettingte, and it’s unsafe for you to return alone. I’ll drive you.”


    Mnie’s steps did not stop, as if she had not heard him. Eugene softly called out again, “Mnie,”


    His actions were quicker than his words. He reached out and grabbed Mnie’s wrist. Only then did he


    realize how thin Mnie was,


    Her wrist was so delicate that he dared not exert any force. It felt as if it would break with the slightest


    strength exerted on it.


    “I—” It was a little dark there, and Mnie could not see the emotions in his eyes. She could only feel


    the warmth in his palm and the slight trembling as he held her wrist.


    Mnie looked back at him. Despite her calm expression, she was a bit annoyed.


    Honestly, she did not want to see Eugene at a time like this.

    Mnie exerted some force in her hand, pulling her wrist out of Eugene’s grasp.


    Eugene felt the tangible feeling in his hand disappearpletely like a gust of wind.


    Feeling the emptiness in his hand, an inexplicable sense of panic overwhelmed him. He had waited


    here for a long time, thinking he had a lot to say to Mnie.


    However, seeing her in person suppressed all the words deep inside him. His throat felt clogged, and


    he could not utter a single word.

    Mnie’s patience wore thin, and she did not hide her irritability and displeasure. “You’re annoying.”


    After a pause, she added, “I didn’t think you were so annoying before. Is this your inherent w,


    enjoying being disliked and shamelessly following me?”


    Her words were ruthless; hitting Eugene’s pride. She expected him to be unable to endure such


    humiliation and spare her from future encounters.


    As expected, Eugene’s entire body stiffened, and his expression changed subtly.


    Eugene remained frozen for a long time. Mnie withdrew her indifferent gaze and turned to leave.


    However, as soon as she lifted her foot, he pressed his chest against her from behind. His minty scent


    enveloped her.


    Eugene did note over to do anything to Mnie. He just really wanted to see her.


    However, after seeing Mnie’s genuine disgust and indifference for him, he felt empty inside. His


    body, quicker than his mind, instinctively embraced Mnie.


    The slender and frail body in his arms was cold. When Eugene returned to his senses, he dared not


    use


    2/2


    too much force, even with her in his embrace.


    He was afraid of hurting her.


    The familiar faint fragrance from her body made Eugene’s hands uncontrobly tremble.


    Although he had tightened the hold around her waist, he loosened it a bit after a moment as if afraid


    Mnie might feel ufortable.


    His attempt to please was obvious when he lowered his head, and his cold lips brushed against her


    earlobe, intending to move lower.


    However, he stopped. He sensed the uncontroble tremor in the person in his arms, and his mind was


    clear again.


    The next moment, he heard Mnie questioning him with a cold and trembling voice, “Eugene, can you


    please stop disgusting me?”


    His heart skipped a beat, and his arm was pushed away.


    Mnie left without looking back, takingrge strides away. She changed her flight to Oskon City and


    boarded the ne the next day. She didn’t want to stay in Jepton for another day.
