Chapter 153: Chapter 151: The Candy on Your Lips is Sweeter
Looking at the candies in the basket, Celeste Grant glanced at Javier Sinclair and smiled faintly. She reached in and took one out.
"Would you like so candy, Exalted One? Want one?"
Javier Sinclair shook his head slightly.
"I do not eat candy."
’He’s not a child, after all.’
"But they’re very sweet."
Celeste Grant unwrapped a piece as she spoke and held it to his lips. "Just try it. You’re the one who bought them, after all. I’m just regifting your own present."
Javier Sinclair said flatly, "I am a Demon Cultivator, not one of those bald donkeys."
"Pfft! Bald donkeys." Celeste Grant laughed at his words. Her fingers slid from his shoulder to rest on his chest. "Actually, an ascetic Buddha Son wouldn’t be so bad, not with a face like yours, Exalted One. If you were a Buddhist Practitioner, I’d definitely pull you down from your divine pedestal and make you break your vows for ."
’A Buddhist Practitioner... and she wants him to break his vows?’
A few possible scenarios flashed through his mind, and Javier Sinclair, blushing, turned his head away. "You woman, what on earth goes through that head of yours all day!"
Celeste Grant’s lips parted slightly as she said, "Thinking about you, of course."
Javier Sinclair: "Hah!"
Seeing his flustered expression, Celeste Grant felt an urge to laugh.
’The Archfiend is getting shy.’
’Such a pure-hearted pretty boy.’
"Co on, have so candy. It’s very sweet," she said, gesturing with her hand.
Javier Sinclair’s gaze shifted from her hand back to her face.
eting Celeste Grant’s smiling face, Javier Sinclair felt a stir in his heart. He reached out, gently cupped the back of her neck, and kissed her lips.
It was a light, fleeting kiss before he let her go.
After a quick glance at her, he calmly turned away.
’This woman has been leading
around like a dog on a leash. I have to get so of my pride back.’
She only heard him say one thing.
"The candy on your lips is sweeter."
She was so surprised the candy nearly fell from her hand.
Celeste Grant froze.
’His words were like a bomb going off in her heart. What did he just say? The candy on my lips is sweeter? Heavens, did he really just say that?’
"Oho, is that sothing an Archfiend like you would say?"
’The Archfiend just flirted back at .’
’I know this is just The Archfiend trying to save face! But I have to admit, I felt it. It’s one thing for The Archfiend to be handso, but it’s another thing entirely when he says sothing sweet.’
’Suddenly, today’s candy seems exceptionally sweet. Maybe this is what love feels like?’
’Heart, you need to stop. A love-struck brain is a dangerous thing.’
She smiled faintly and shot him a playful glare.
"Your son is still here, you know."
Hearing this, he simply said, "It’s fine! He can’t see."
Celeste Grant let out a soft "Oh?
