Lawrence was able to whiff her scent because of the closeness, the way she whispered, and her teasing touch. Playing with his necklace then staring at him with her charming eyes, all made his jitters, he felt hypnotized with everything she was doing. He heard her words and digested them but he wasn't offended, he acknowledged it and wanted it.
"If you're already his, why do you offer me a chance? Do you like me?"
"I don't hate you, and I figured out, you are the type of person who won't give up easily." She replied and pulled away. "You listened to me, right? I'm not the type of girl you can just fuck and leave. If my body is what you want, you can dream on. This virginity is reserved for my husband." She changed her tone from sweet to stingy.
Lawrence chuckled, he wasn't even surprised anymore with her changing attitude. She had the worst mood swing he ever encountered. And a very straightforward woman. Some women he dated had the audacity to talk about this private matter but not in a public place, most of them, don't talk about it at all.
He clearly doesn't know where to draw the line yet. Given the conditions she gave him and the access he could have once he achieved her, it's probably the last thing he could expect. A relationship but no sexual life would be suck.
Of course, he wants to get into her pants. That's the main reason why he's pursuing her. But he never did force a woman into having sex with him. It was more gratifying when they begged for him.
"Three months of courtship?" Lawrence emphasizes the three. His mind became clearer because she's in a distance.
Three months.
Did he ever court someone? Wasn't three months too long for courtship? He looked at her and was about to say something but her stoic expression made him shut up. It gives him the vibe that she only said those to make him stop pestering her. And oddly, at this moment, he felt like a small kid desperate for her attention but she doesn't give a damn. This was a very new experience for him. People are always drawn to him, not on the other hand.
"Oh," she threw a glance at him then smiled. "... and I'm a very jealous person. If you want me, I want it just to be me, if I found out you're fooling around with some other women. The chance is invalid." Lawrence bit his lower lip and smiled. He had to admit that he was a player, but he doesn't cheat.
"Why do I think you're making it hard for me?"
"Hard? Those are the basics on being in a relationship sir Law."
"You're very demanding," he laughed, he didn't find it troublesome, he was actually happier hearing this from her. She's not like any girls he dated.
"Why not? I deserve to be like one. After all, I'm raised like a princess. If I have a counterpart, he has to treat me as his empress."
"Do you think I will still pursue you? If you're like this?" He asked out of curiosity without removing his smile on his face, peering at her reaction.
No reaction at all.
"I don't know, I can't read minds." She said Yanarym thinks it better if he doesn't.
Guide-sama: "He will."
Cailly was walking blissfully, on her way to the Pavillon to see her sister because today might be the day where finally, the eldest will get a woman on his own.
The smile on her face subsided when she saw her sister getting hit by a handsome man. This view was not new for her, she often saw Yanarym surrounded by men whenever she was alone. This side of her was not caught by Yashnile, who thought that a cold-spoiled girl could handle men like that. Flirtatious and pigs.
"Who is this Rym?" She smiled after reaching their spot and wrapped her arms around her body, shielding the precious member of the family from evil. Lawrence looked at her and they met eyes, he shifted his eyes on her arms around Yanarym and sneered.
"Say hi, this is my instructor." Yanarym did not mind the internal conflict between the two who had their eye shooting electricity at each other with a smile.
"Temporary--- instructor." Cailly examined him from head to toe. He looks young to be teaching in a university. Wait, she knows him, she saw her earlier! The man that was girdled by female students!
Her friend from her recent class said that he was a famous young detective that was assigned to her sister's department. Cailly was about to say something, he didn't let her. "And the future boyfriend of your sister," Lawrence said with a smug expression only to show it to Cailly.
"What?" Cailly mouth gap and looked at Yanarym with wide eyes but she ignored her.
"How do you know she's my sister?" Yanarym asked Lawrence and he smiled at her.
"I did some research."
"You stalked me?"
"Did not, that's a crime." While the two exchange words Cailly finally processed everything and pulled Yanarym away from him.
"Hello? Can someone tell me what's going on? And Rym, you allowed him to court you? An instructor?"
"Temporary." Lawrence corrected her but she totally ignored him. Yanarym looked at the two, feeling the dissatisfaction observing their reaction from one another. Last world, the female lead dies in front of the male lead, in the other last world, the male lead tortures the female lead by starvation. What was going on? Where's the eternal love that they promised to each other when they were in love? Or is she at fault because she blocks those lovers from manifesting their love story? That wasn't the case now, why is this tandem giving her headaches?
"He's not gonna last anyway." Cailly heard Yanarym's response and glared at her. What was this woman thinking?
