‘You’re not that worried?’ Melissa was so furious that she laughed. “Am I the only one who’s being worried for nothing? I thought you loved my brother, didn’t you? The man you’ve been dreaming of every day has returned from France but brought a woman with him, yet you’re actually not that worried? Let’s put aside your parents’ intentions for a moment. Do you dare to say that you don’t love him? I’m only helping you because you’re my best friend, so could you not be so relaxed, as if I’m helping you for no reason?”
Cynthia shook her head and lowered her volume as she said, “He… might have confessed to me. We also… did that already. So, I think he doesn’t feel that way towards Raven. It’s purely because she saved his life once. I trust that Ares will be able to handle the situation properly.”
Melissa’s eyes opened wide. “What? He’s only returned for a few days, yet the two of you have already had sex? That fast?! I never knew it, but you’ve really got it in you!”
Cynthia’s face flushed red and she instantly covered up Melissa’s mouth. “What kind of nonsense are you talking about?! I meant ‘kiss’ when I said we did it. How did you even link that to sex? You’ve got a very dirty mind!”
Melissa slapped her hand away and almost died from laughter. “Hahaha… I’m not the one with a dirty mind; you’ve just got a mind that’s too innocent. Why did you have to be so secretive about a mere kiss? Is that such a bad thing that it has to be covered up? Don’t say I didn’t tell you, but the thing with men is, no matter how serious they may look on the surface, the “sly beast” within them will rush out the moment they’re alone with a woman. I’m worried that a person as innocent as you wouldn’t be able to handle my brother’s ‘ferociousness’.”
Cynthia said in disdain, “You sound as if you understand him better than I do. We’ve grown up together ever since I was a kid, while you would only appear once in a while. Ares isn’t that kind of person. As for our current stage, kissing is already the most that could happen, so you shouldn’t be that evil.”
Melissa pursed her lips. “Let’s just wait and see if you don’t believe me. He’ll only pretend to be serious in front of you because he’s afraid of scaring you.”
Of course, Cynthia refused to believe her. She had always thought that Aristotle was a very reliable person, even more so than Plato, her biological brother. ‘Ares isn’t someone who would indulge his vices, all right? I’d believe you if you said Plato has this “beast” inside of him, but Ares definitely doesn’t have it.’
