Chapter 103 Regaining Former Strength~
Chapter 103 Regaining Former Strength~
Her eyes looked at mine as mine looked at hers. It was a brief moment of silence.
The first confrontation ended with her defeat, and my victory.
From my experience, I knew this was one of those moments when the moment of silence had more power than any sweet words being spoken.
People tend to overthink when they are led around, and women are the best when it comes to overthinking.
Just give them a few words and they will automatically come up with hundreds of reasons and explanations.
"Let's click a photo to cherish this moment."
Not minding her, I picked up her mobile which she hid under the pillow.
Turning on the camera, I moved closer to her.
"Say Cheese~"
"Come on, otherwise you will appear like an old-grumpy woman in the picture."
Mitshua, who was staying silent, pouted at my sarcastic remarks.
The selfie was clicked.
"Okay I am saving it as your background picture, don't you dare change it. I can exempt you from being kissed tomorrow as long as you do not change it."
"Okay, I am leaving now!"
Even if she was trying to play dumb, her lips which curled up subconsciously were enough of a proof that she could not stop herself from being swayed by the emotions that Elandor brought up.
"Fine, now leave!"
-She hurriedly laid back and put the blanket over herself, not daring to make any more eye-contact.
I had already closed the door as I made my way downstairs.
Her mom was busy in the kitchen.
I just left without saying her goodbye.
It's better to let the relationship develop slowly.
By 9 pm, I returned to my place, and as I opened the door, I was taken aback.
Radhika, with her half-closed eyes, was sitting on the sofa with a plate of dinner lying on the table in front of her.
Maybe the sound of the door opening was abrupt or she was sensitive, she awoke instantly.
Without minding her, I sat next to her.
"Didn't I say that you don't need to wait for me?"
-I flicked my finger at her forehead.
"Oh, mother said that it's always good to eat home-made food otherwise you can get sick."
"So I waited till you came back, after all, as a maid you are gonna pay me a good salary, it only makes sense if I do my duty properly, hehe~"
-said Radhika in a silly tone.
"Okay, I am going to sleep now. You go to college at 8 am right."
"Yes", I replied not knowing what she was implying.
"I guess I will have to get up early to make breakfast", she muttered to herself absent-mindedly as she made her way to her room. Because of moving suddenly, and going through a lot of emotions in a single day, she was tired and needed a decent sleep.
Walking her moving so exhaustedly, for some reason a strange sense of warmth spread in my body.
"Is this the feeling when someone waits for you to come back? This feeling of being cared for and knowing there is someone who will make food for you at home…this is really addicting, kinda nostalgic!"
"Let's eat dinner before it gets cold."
As I was about to eat my food my phone rang with a notification sound.
It was Claire's reply to the thing I messaged her while walking back from Mitshua's house.
It was a simple reply written in caps–
(??????)? IT WILL BE DONE TOMORROW BUT YOU MUST GIVE ME A DESERVING REWARD(>??).
"Aah, Tomorrow is gonna be a hard day", I exclaimed as I looked at childish text emojis sent by Claire.
At this time, just as I was about to put the spoon full of rice in my mouth, I felt a strong sense of energy rushing towards me.
With the rejoicing of luck devouring lotus inside, I knew this was Shouta's luck that I successfully plundered today.
"Shit, this was a blessing in disguise..I leeched off so much luck in one go, by converting this into pure energy I can return to my peak state."
I hurriedly went inside the sub-room belonging to me on the far-right as I sat cross-legged to meditate and digest my gains.
Tonight I was sure I would regain my strength and once again reach the fourth order of strength.
......…..
In the same bar where he had been drinking every evening for 2 days, Shouta was gulping another cup of wine.
"Haha, this flavoured one is really good."
"The fizzy and chilled, the better, truly worth the price."
Along with him, the same gangster-subordinates, who were drinking together the previous day, accompanied him.
"Brother Shouta, why are you here with us today?"
"Didn't you say you were going to bed those girls?"
"What were their names, aah right- Mitshua and Claire, right?"
-spoke one of his gangster-subordinate.
"Oh, what do I even tell, that bitch Claire!"
"Trying to act so high and mighty, just wait and she will be screaming under my crotch so badly."
Shouta was already in a drunken state.
"That bitch said let's go to a picnic, the entire day we spent deciding where to go. She even took my phone saying her battery died and kept fiddling with it. In the end, my phone's battery died too and I wasn't able to call you guys."
"And when we were about to set off, she said she can't go today? She is not feeling good?…who the fuck is she fooling?..it was clear she was deliberately refusing me! She will be my wife in future…Had we not been in a public place, I would have dragged her and tasted her body at that very instant!"
-Shouta exclaimed in a righteous tone, as he thought of Claire, one of his definite-future harem members.
"Aaaaah", he groaned in pain as Shouta suddenly felt a pain in his chest.
It was just like yesterday, the feeling as if something was forcefully snatched from him. The suffocation and pain that a part of his heart was cut off with a sharp knife and being taken away.
"Fuckkk!" -my liver is again upset after drinking too much.
