Chapter 161 160. It Is Stupid
Sandra just stared blankly at the face of Alex, Who tenderly helped her to put back on her clothes.
She will be lying if she says she doesn't like this feeling, His meticulous action and consideration she was showing to her after savagely devouring her makes her heart bubbly.
She wished time would stop at this moment and let her enjoy this treatment for eternity. Just let her be lost in a honey-like sweet feeling without worrying about other things at all.
She knew it is a weird thing to say as a woman but the woman has feelings too, She also wanted to be looked after and taken care of by the person she loves, She also wants to show her weak side to him.
It is hard being strong all the time, She also had too many things to say, complain about.
She wanted someone to be there and listen to how she felt when her parents pretty much knowingly sold her to the wolf in man's clothing to save themselves. How lonely she felt in that golden prison of hers.
How hurt she felt when her own dad did not defend her when she resisted the marriage, And even helped her mom with emotional torture they were doing to her to agree, How broken she was when on her wedding day she broke all relationship with them.
She wanted to share that and much more in her heart. She wanted a warm embrace to cry her heart out, While telling someone that but sadly she had not met anyone who cared enough about her to check up on her.
At least until now, Though he was only helping her but she felt the comfort words can't describe, Did anyone care this much about her? Well, she did not remember anyone doing it, Including her family.
As a daughter, She told me to always be strong and act in public and private as she did not only represent her but also her family behind her, Which is true but at least they let her enjoy her childhood.
As her training started at the age of 4, And before that there was pre-training from the age of 2, To be the head of the family, Which is funny as they throw her under the bus in front of the first sign of trouble, Which showed how dispensable she was.
Also, she comes to know a key information, Apparently, she has a little sister, Who has now taken her position as the head of the family.
Which says a lot, Why are they so easily able to sell her off as there was a backup? She even thinks they might have changed their mind about making her head family, So it was just an opportunity for them to take back their position from her.
"How long are you going to think about other stuff until we talk about Alia's matter?"
Alex was finally done putting all her clothes back. It was hard to do it as she was sitting there staring blankly at him but because of his experiences with this thing, It was not a big of a deal for him.
He wanted to talk to her about Dick and how to handle the next situation but he saw that this woman was not coming out of her thoughts, Which he knew is a defence mechanism triggered by her not wanting to think about what he said before.
It is like the saying, What you don't know can't hurt you, Which in his mind is the bullshit of a saying. He was sure that someday someone got super high and made that up, And people just followed it.
He gets the meaning behind it but it was a stupid meaning. So refuse to agree. What you don't know will definitely hurt or heck even kills you. That is the whole reason for knowing things to avoid making stupid decisions.
As a guy who is obsessed with knowing everything, It's no surprise that he hates this saying to his core. It's just a stupid/excuse for a well stupid person, As no smart woman looks at that and says well it makes sense unless it is for gaslight.
Which he neither confirms nor denies using it before against anyone.
"What are you talking about? Look at the time, We will get in trouble if someone finds us here, First get out of here before talking about that stuff."
Sandra diverted the topic by instinct, She did not want to open this can of worms right now, Not here. She wanted this place to only share this sweet memory, not bad ones.
She wanted to live in this happy world for a while even if it was just because of the shade of being in a bubble of ignorance. She did not want to ruin this current mood of hers, In a long time she felt happy. She wanted to enjoy it for a while.
"Okay, But we still have to talk about how to deal with a pervert eavesdropping on us behind that door."
Alex can understand why she did not want to talk about it even without knowing her plot as most if not all FL has family issues and victim dilemmas, So he let her be, If she did not want to hear about Alia, It was fine it was not that important yet.
But he had to deal with Dick perving on his still legally wife being fucked and losing her virginity by a stranger in the storeroom of some shops, He did not know what privacy is at all, How rude of him.
So to send a hint to that man that he was spotted he raised his voice which can be easily heard by Dick, Before he kept his voice low so he could not be able to hear him, Which was a well-thought plan of his.
He by doing this not only gave him false hope, A ray of light that he was terribly mistaken before snatching that hope from him pushing him depths of the abyss, Which will make it easy to break him and now He can also use it to make his work easy.
As now he did not talk in his own voice but in the voice of a Jake, Sandra looked at Alex in surprise but he warned her with her eyes, Indicating it was all according to plan.
Sandra was confused but thought of it and concluded that the person he was talking about is Dick, She now did not care about him a bit at all. So she just let it be. It will be nice if this fly of a man will stay away from her from now on.
*Thump* *Tap* *Tap* *Tap*
As his voice fell, He heard a thumping sound of something falling on the ground before he heard someone running away. There is no doubt who that runner was, It just made Alex surprised that Dick ran away.
Didn't normally these MLs try to show how mighty they are at each given moment? But then they think they did it for or in front of FL, And when it was time to show their courage in front of FL, They act like a wet cat.
A simple thing like saying they like FL takes hundreds of chapters to happen even though they both show love for each other, Which might be why he ran away. After all, according to the plot, it is still interrupted as a "misunderstanding".
This shows one thing is that though heavenly will, Which dictates the laws of novels is mighty but not omnipotent, It can't tell if the plot is destroyed or not, The things that were supposed to happen will try to go in that direction even though that route did not exist anymore.
'This is a good loophole to exploit.'
Alex was happy he chose to come here now. Not only did he encounter the first FL and conquer her but he also learned new things about how this world works.
This seemingly little info will play a key role in his planning for this wandering protagonist roaming freely in the city.
"Well, Let's go before uninvited trouble comes knocking on our door."
Alex gave Sandra a hand to stand up, She was visibly in discomfort as even standing was quite hard work for her.
Though women are stronger than men, So normally the first time will not hurt at all but what Alex did was not normal. Her delicate part was not so delicate anymore.
If he had uses of the holy blessing remaining he might have used it on her but he used it on Nathan before, And last, the remaining is only for emergencies, So he can't use it on her.
"Okay let's go."
Sandra said and started walking towards the door. At first, it felt like an impossible task for her to move her legs but then to Alex's disbelief in a matter of moments, she was able to walk, Though still uncomfortable but way better than before.
'System shows her stats.'
Alex did not have any reason not to just check her stats anymore as he already figured out her identity as being FL. Now he wants to know what makes her special, So he can copy it.
*Ring*
Alex waited for the system to show her stats but before that his phone rang in his pocket, Seeing the message Alex stopped in his tracks.
