Chapter 318: Agatha's Increasing Favorability
A slight arc appeared on the corner of Ray's mouth as he heard the notification from Aina, but he quickly hid it.
This was the most crucial mont for him to get into Agatha's heart, and he definitely would not want to ss up.
He might not be at Alan's level now, but he was sure that it wouldn't be that long until Agatha beca his.
Ray waited for a while, and only after ensuring that Agatha had cald down, he begin to tell his story.
" The story started when our dad died. Dad had told us before that we still have a stepmom in the city, but we have no way to contact her.
My little sister and I, who were left alone in the countryside, had no one to rely on, so we started to train ourselves. I t my spirit beast, Schwarz, when she was bullied before. At first, I thought she was just a normal cat, but only after she scratched my hand and took my blood that I know she was a spirit beast.
Since then, I could feel my life had sohow changed. Schwarz and I had gone through many difficulties together, but we always prevailed. We grew side by side, and only when we were strong enough, we decide to co into the city and look for our stepmother.
At first, I was very happy when I t my stepmother and wanted to tell her my true strength. But suddenly, sothing hits my mind.
The stronger you are, the greater the responsibility and as well the danger. I was afraid… afraid of losing soone important to once again. Therefore, I decided to hide my true strength from anyone. I chose to be a research Daoist as not to reveal my strength and play it safe to make my family save."
Ray's long explanation ended with that, and Agatha could see the sincere expression on his face.
His face was full of frustration. Agatha saw there was a hidden frustration on Ray's face that might erge because he must keep hiding his strength.
For soone at ray's age, what they like the most is to show off. But Ray had decided to hide it all by himself just to protect his family.
Sohow this story had made Agatha's impression of ray beco a lot better. The eyes that she used to look at Ray were full of warmth, and she began to compare Ray with Alan.
( Alan seed to be a bit too bad if he is compared to ray, right?)
But she quickly shook her hand as to erase that thought.
Every person had their own strength and weakness, and she must not compare Alan to Ray or anyone else.
Without her noticing it, Agatha's feet had long left the bed.
She walked closer to ray and suddenly pulled him into his embrace.
" Ah…"
" Don't move. Just stay still."
Agatha ca to embrace Ray. She felt that Ray was worthy of this hug after all his hardship, and she really valued soone like Ray.
It was her first intimate contact with a man either than her family, so she didn't really know what to do.
She didn't know why, but she felt that the hug with ray was not that bad and a bit intoxicating.
After a few minutes, Agatha released Ray.
Her face was full of red clouds, and her breath looked a bit hard.
" Are you okay, Miss?"
Ray saw this and didn't let go of the chance. He knew that it was the right ti to attack Agatha, and he didn't miss the chance.
He placed his hand on Agatha's forehead while his eyes were full of concern.
Agatha was instantly on cloud nine as she felt Ray's big and warm hand on her forehead.
It was the first ti she felt sothing like this, and she felt that it was very pleasant.
A blush appeared on her face, and she wanted this mont to last forever.
Unfortunately for Agatha, Ray soon retracted his hand and made her seem a bit lost.
" Miss, if you feel a bit unwell, then I may need to go ho now. Please have so rest, and I hope that you will get better soon."
The words that ray said made Agatha return to her consciousness. She just realized what she had done, and she felt very embarrassed.
But when she looked at Ray, she imdiately sighed a relief as she saw that Ray didn't seem to notice anything wrong.
Ray was about to stand up and leave the room when he felt a small hand was tugging his clothes.
" Hey, could you tell your contact number?"
It was none other than Agatha who had deployed all her courage. She looked like a small cute animal right now, and that made a smile appear on ray's face.
He didn't reject Agatha and quickly took out his phone number.
This was his aim all along. Agatha already made the first move, and it would be stupid if he was to reject.
The prey had delivered itself to the mouth of the predator, and Ray was smiling all over him inside.
Ray then said goodbye after he left his contact number to Agatha.
He exited Agatha's house and was ready to call another taxi. But at this ti, he suddenly felt that his phone was ringing.
Ray checked the number and saw it was the stepmom.
It seed that the stepmom had been trying to reach him all day after the incident, but because Ray was too focused on Agatha, he never noticed that his phone was ringing.
He looked around, and after ensuring that there was nothing wrong here, ray picked up the phone.
" Hello M-"
" What are you doing!!! Why aren't you answering my call?"
Just from the tone, ray could already see that the stepmom was very pissed. The kind and gentle stepmom before had turned into this, and Ray could only smile awkwardly.
" Mom, don't be angry… Please listen to my explanation first."
