Chapter 291 

“What are we waiting for Thumime asked, brow down slightly inconfusion 

Vesperics heart was primiding at 180 beats per minute, fast enough to mess with her brain’s ability to form coherent thoughts. 

She was terrified that if she didn’t say something now, things might actually happen, and she’d have to deal with the consequences later 

She didn’t trust henself to explain it in some long, complicated way. That left too much mom for misunderstanding. So, she went with the simplest versionať si 

She took a deep breath, then another. “Is it okay. If this doesn’t come with any responsibility?”

Meanwhile, inside Vespera’s head, she was shouting, “Yeah well, I feel like my whole line of thinking is flawed, sitting on your lap like this is definitely flawed, everything about this moment is dangerously flawed!” 

But he was so gentle and reasonable. How could she argue? 

Thanks for understanding,” she muttered. 

Dominic smiled. “It I respect your feelings and your wishes, shouldn’t you also respect inline? 

When he smiled, his fox–like eyes lit up like stars, malding it dangerously easy to lose all common sense. 

Vespera’s intemal warming systems–the ones built to detect traps–were starting to short–circuit. Still, she followed through. “Your wishes?“ 

“Exactly. You’ve got your perspective, Vera, and I’ve got mine. That’s fair, right?” Domiluic asked, his tone still calm.. 

“Fair,” she replied.
