"You must be more careful. I have been worried about you, Jenkins. I know you are doing a lot of things that you can't tell us, and I won't ask, but please at least understand that there are people waiting for you to come back."
The red-haired girl leaned out again and hugged Jenkins who was sitting on the bed, and Jenkins hugged her too. He put his head on Hathaway's shoulder, sniffed the smell of the red-haired girl's hair, and enjoyed this moment of peace with peace of mind.
But the tranquility didn't last long, Hathaway suddenly asked:
"Where were you the night before yesterday?"
"of course⦠"
He paused, not because he couldn't remember, but because he had spent the night at Britney's place the night before, and the smile on his face froze immediately.
Although Jenkins has always been good at weaving lies, he mostly relies on "partial truths" to deceive, and when it comes to lying to his face, he is actually quite bad at it.
Hathaway knew him quite well in this regard, so when she felt the stiff movements of the man she was hugging, she already knew the answer:
"I really don't know what you guys think."
She also rested her head on Jenkins' shoulder, almost speaking into Jenkins' ear:
"Britney's room is next to mine. You also know that my hearing is many times better than that of a normal gifted person. Even if I fell asleep, how dare you..."
Jenkins felt a bead of sweat slide down his forehead against the side of his face, making his face itch, but he dared not move.
"Jenkins, what on earth were you thinking? Are you taking revenge on me? Taking revenge on me for locking you in the closet?"
Obviously the red-haired girl's voice was soft, but Jenkins felt an unusual crisis.
"Oh, little boy, is your revenge so strong?"
She almost kissed Jenkins' ear.
The lying cat showed disdain, thinking the two were flirting.
"It's not revenge, it's... It's my lust/desire."
"You know it yourself."
She pushed Jenkins away abruptly, then brushed the side hair and tucked it behind her ear. Judging from her expression, Hathaway didn't seem to be angry, at least according to Jenkins' judgment.
"That... I..."
He didn't know how to continue apologizing.
"Don't you know how to apologize?"
The red-haired lady saw right through Jenkins:
"You don't need to apologize, you just need to know that what you have done is really too much. Jenkins, since I have promised you that if you marry Britney, I am willing to be your lover, then I will not go back on my word, but... At least please respect me."
These words made Jenkins feel even more uncomfortable. This time he took the initiative to open his arms and hugged Hathaway. Hathaway did not refuse, but still whispered in his ear:
"Remember to come to my room tonight."
Whatever the reason, Jenkins couldn't refuse.
Britney, who came back, didn't notice the difference between the two of them. After sitting down, she turned her back to Hathaway and took Jenkins' hand as before. Britney scratched Jenkins' palm as their hands crossed, and then quietly left him a small folded note, which she presumably wrote while going to the bathroom.
When the girls left, Jenkins opened the note. It was Britney who saw that Jenkins was not seriously injured, so she invited him to her room tonight as a "guest".
"You have a funny look on your face right now."
Miss Capet, who walked in from the door, reminded her, she looked at the note Jenkins was holding curiously, and said jokingly:
"I can see that the two ladies just now have an unusual relationship with you, and the relationship between them is also very unusual. This is really interesting. Let me guess, is this someone inviting you?"
Jenkins was unable to answer this question, and seeing that Jenkins was unwilling to answer, Miss Capet let the topic go.
Father would definitely not let the Williams family know that Jenkins was "seriously injured", so no one else came to visit except Hathaway and Britney.
After lunch, the old Mr. Wood Blothier, the keeper of secrets, came again and told Jenkins that the church is currently appraising hundreds of numbered items obtained from Kamel yesterday.
The church in this era has never obtained so many numbered items at one time, plus there are some dangerous monsters inside, and the church has to face [Curse of Blood Mosquito] and Kamel's revenge at the same time, so I have to contact Other churches seek new support.
Coupled with the believers of lies that appeared in the club a few days ago, the terrible things hidden in the dream world, and the cultists who appeared in the [Gear Craftsman Association], the Church of the Twelve Gods understands the Beldilan area The current situation, so in addition to the battle team assembled because of the [Curse of Blood Mosquito], new support is being reorganized.
I believe that it won't be long before the number of benefactors of the Orthodox Church gathered near Beldylan will reach a terrifying number.
In the evening of this day, because the pastors of the [Church of Everything and Nature] visited the Holy See of the Sages, and Miss Capet was also going to attend the meeting, she temporarily left Jenkins' ward.
Taking advantage of finally having the opportunity to be alone, Jenkins grabbed his cat and projected it to Loen, then used the real phantom to pull his real body to the Northland, and then used the spiritual magnet to project it back to Beldylan's ward and left a new one. The phantom, in this way, successfully realized the illusion that the real body is in Loen and the phantom maintains that he is still lying on the bed.
"Long time no see, Alexia."
After this complicated operation, he finally had the opportunity to hug his beloved girl. The short lady seemed to be very useful, with a smile on her lips, she tried to push Jenkins, and leaned against him with peace of mind.
Dolores, who was sitting on the sofa pretending to be reading a newspaper, showed a cat-like expression.
In fact, they haven't seen each other for half a week. After sitting down, Jenkins briefly talked about all the "miraculous things" he encountered in Beldyran during this period. In just one week, the originally peaceful Beldyran was on the brink of destruction because of Jenkins' arrival, and even Jenkins couldn't explain it.
"We have talked about the curse of the blood mosquito. We will talk about other things later. The most important thing now is that Alfonso Kamel."
he emphasized.
"Of course, I think you should have a plan."
Alexia knew there was no way Jenkins could keep alive a demigod who threatened to threaten his family and friends, so his revenge was coming now.
