“I feel like they’re all pretty much the same.”

Camille’s preferred type never changed.

They had to be strong and muscular, but with a delicate face.

A mix of a wolf and a puppy.

You still alone?”

‘Mm.”

Tsk.” Camille clicked her tongue, “Are you celibate? Come on, how long has it been since you’ve been with a man?”

liza, “…”

Her sister’s words were always so direct.

ometimes, Eliza could barely handle it.

Don’t tell me you haven’t had any sex with a man lately!”

Sister, can we change the topic?”

amille snorted lightly. “Look at you, you’re so pitiful. What have I told you? Men are there to be used, don’t take relationships so seriously. Not every man is ine to own, but they are all there for my use! Don’t be narrow–minded. Every man has his purpose. Let go of the possessiveness, enjoy the rights, and broaden our perspective!”

I’ve already arranged to discuss business with Eliza, so I won’t go. Have fun.”
