Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Hubby, Here’s a Little Heart for You
Pantheon: "..."
He coughed violently, clearly thunderstruck by what Mortir Quincy had just said.
But his first reaction wasn’t about cousins becoming a couple. It was that Mortir Quincy actually had a girlfriend!
He actually had a girlfriend!
The news was unbelievable.
His jaw dropped, and he blurted out his thoughts, "Mortir Quincy, you actually have a girlfriend."
While they were talking, their characters in the ga had already been killed.
The screen displayed "GA OVER."
Mortir Quincy’s eyes narrowed slightly as he tugged at the collar of his black mock-neck sweater. "Why can’t I have a girlfriend? Explain yourself."
In his past life, they had the sa ghost-like expression when they found out he had a girlfriend.
’Why can’t I have a girlfriend?’ he wondered.
Enduring Mortir’s murderous glare, Pantheon said timidly, "I just think with your personality, you’re destined to be a bachelor for life." As soon as he finished, he ducked behind Zeke Zane.
He was telling the truth, the absolute truth.
Mortir Quincy had always given girls the cold, "don’t-bother-" treatnt.
Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration, but not by much.
As a friend, it was barely tolerable. As a boyfriend, he was completely unsuitable.
He gave Holly Winslow a look that scread, ’What were you thinking?’
Finally, soone who saw things her way. Holly Winslow couldn’t stop laughing, but she imdiately composed herself when she t Mortir Quincy’s gaze.
She reached out and poked his arm, offering a small bit of comfort. "You get good grades." After saying that, she couldn’t help but chuckle again.
’So I’m not the only one who thought Mortir Quincy would be a bachelor for life.’
Her one sentence had unintentionally hurt two people.
Pantheon: "..."
Zeke Zane: "..."
Pantheon clutched his chest and said mournfully, "Sis-in-law, your words have wounded ."
Hearing the term "Sis-in-law," Holly Winslow coughed sharply a few tis. She then raised her wrist to check her watch. It was five minutes until the results would be posted. "We should go."
Mortir Quincy, barely placated, picked up the pink backpack and slung it over his shoulder. He shot Pantheon a sidelong glance. "Keep your mouth shut."
Pantheon nodded hurriedly, raising a hand to swear, "Don’t worry, Boss Quincy, I won’t tell a soul. Is the all-nighter on Sunday still on?"
"It’s on."
Mortir Quincy watched Holly Winslow wrap her scarf properly, then roll down her sleeves, looking as obedient as a grade schooler.
Once she was ready, he took his little grade schooler by the hand and led her out of the internet cafe.
Pantheon walked behind with an arm around Zeke Zane’s shoulders, giving him a look that said, ’So friend you are.’ "Zeke Zane, how could you hide sothing as earth-shattering as Mortir Quincy having a girlfriend from ? Not cool, man. I almost called our sis-in-law ’wifey’ just now."
"If I’d actually said it, Mortir Quincy would have strangled
on the spot."
Zeke Zane gave him a look that said, ’As long as you realize it.’ "You’re the idiot."
