Chapter 296
Eileen and Selena exchanged a glance upon seeing this. They both looked puzzled.
Beautiful appearance was easy to understand; it was a compliment on their looks, which was also one of the iconic traits of a Witch. But what did “two-dimensional” mean? However, even though they didn’t quite understand, combined with the context, it was likely a compliment.
Eileen continued to flip down, and more words appeared before their eyes.
[Seems not easy to deal with, the little one is quite wary…]
[But that girl named Selena seems much easier to get along with.]
[Never mind, I’ll take my time.]
The writing stopped there. Since it wasn’t a proper diary, there was no date marked. But the two girls immediately recalled. This was likely their very first day interacting with the man, and these were his offhand remarks.
Selena stared at the words on the book for a long time before suddenly speaking. “It seems Lord Luo Xiu was also troubled about how to interact with us…”
Eileen thought of her own fierce attitude at the time and remained silent, merely flipping to the next page. The writing on this page suddenly increased, with several smudges.
[Witch… the patterns on her calves…]
[No, perhaps I should change my approach. A Witch isn’t a Witch, and the Holy See is not the Holy See.]
The first two sentences were rather nonsensical and disjointed and difficult to understand. But the following words caused Selena’s fair, delicate face to blush inexplicably. Eileen couldn’t help but glance at her.
[Wait, was I just ambushed?]
The writing here suddenly became erratic, showing the writer’s surprise.
[Although it seems a bit perverted, I must say, Selena, when wearing a maid outfit, is really cute.]
This sentence was written and then quickly crossed out with a hurried stroke, as if to cover it up. Immediately following was another sentence, a little apologetic:
[Forgive me, forgive me, how could I have such wicked thoughts.]
This sentence was also crossed out. Eileen’s gaze, however, focused on the last two sentences on the page.
[Haha, that arrogant little brat definitely wouldn’t think now that I intentionally went to touch Selena’s cheek in front of her.]
[But I have to say, Selena’s skin feels really good…]
Eileen turned to look at her friend beside her. The blush on the girl’s face had become more pronounced. Perhaps because these entries were a bit improper, a lighthearted tone emanated from the page, which subtly eased the sadness in the two girls’ hearts. Eileen thought, no wonder he suddenly got handsy that night; it turned out he had discovered her peeking by the window. Reflecting on it now, her anger from that time had long since disappeared. She only said softly, “Hmph, what a vindictive man.” “So petty, why does he usually act so generous and indifferent…” The girl raised her hand and rubbed her eyes.
Regret? Of course, she regretted it. Thinking back on her own terrible attitude now, Eileen found it annoying. But the man had never lectured her, only brushed it off with a smile each time. But the taste of it, one could imagine, wouldn’t be very pleasant.
The notebook was flipped again. This time, it was Selena who reached out, but as she turned to the next page, her expression froze completely. The handwriting was still the same, but it didn’t record every day; it jumped forward many days.
[Damn, I was ambushed again yesterday!]
[Selena, that little fool, always thinks she’s so clever. I wasn’t really lusting after her body.]
[Besides, she’s still so young. If I really had those strange thoughts, wouldn’t I become a pervert in Eileen’s eyes?]
The writing here, although exposing the act of touching in front of a friend made her cheeks burn, didn’t make Selena completely dumbfounded. What truly stunned her were the subsequent entries.
[And you even dared to come back again. You almost scared me just now, and now that I’ve severely dealt with you, you’re finally behaving, right?]
[Hmm, so you were just putting on a brave front.]
Came back again? Severely dealt with? Looking at these words, Selena was filled with questions. Her memory of that night was very clear. Although she had accidentally bumped into a pillar and gone in the wrong direction when leaving due to nervousness and panic, she never went back. So… Selena couldn’t help but shift her gaze to the side. In the manor, besides the girl in the black dress beside her, there was no other girl with a similar figure to be mistaken by Lord Luo Xiu.
Eileen, who had been regretting her actions alone, noticed Selena’s gaze, blinked her eyes, and looked a bit confused. Until her gaze also fell upon the words on the latest page. Immediately, the girl’s clear, fair-skinned face turned visibly red. The blush came much faster than Selena’s earlier blush, extending all the way to her earlobes before it finally stopped.
Selena looked at her with a suspicious expression and couldn’t help but ask, “Eileen, that night when I returned to my room, I didn’t see you. Didn’t you tell me you were going to the restroom?”
Upon hearing this, Eileen quickly waved her hand guiltily, stammering, “No, Selena, I… I got up in the middle of the night and found you weren’t there. I wanted to find you so…” Speaking to this point, Eileen lowered her head and poked her finger. “I went into his room…”
For some reason, faced with Selena’s questioning, Eileen acted like a child caught doing something bad. What happened that night was not only fresh in Selena’s memory. As for Eileen, who was “severely dealt with” by Luo Xiu, she hadn’t had a good night’s sleep for several days. She would always dream of strange scenes. Fortunately, Selena didn’t seem to dwell on her lying. She just stroked her chin and suddenly asked, “So, how did you ‘severely deal with’ it?” Her head suddenly leaned in. “Elaborate?” The slightly teasing words made the girl even more shy. She had thought this matter would be buried forever in their hearts over time, never to be mentioned by anyone. She never expected it to be revealed in such a coincidental way. And it also made Eileen realize something. It turned out she had once again misunderstood that man. To think that she had always believed him to be a pervert based on this incident.
