“What about the things last night? I helped you to get away with those people and that’s how you are going to repay me?” Ruby was a little bit worried but still pretending to be calm like she wasn’t even afraid of him.
She had placed a silver needle in between her fingers. Once he was going to do something bad to her, she would let him regret it right away.
“Oh? So, how do you want me to repay you?” Levi took a look at her fingers and smiles scornfully.
Ruby forced herself to look at Levi and said, “If you are grateful to me, you should release me right now…”
Before she could finish her words, she was astonished.
The man approached her all of a sudden. Ruby tried to move back instinctively, but Levi held the back of her head and pushed it towards him.
She felt numb with shock at that moment.
The face of Levi was so close to her that his warm breaths were blowing by her ear. His hand moved down slowly to her neck and clenched slightly. Levi was appreciating this like a hunter appreciating his prey, “Your neck was so thin…”
…That he could break it easily.
Ruby opened her eyes widely out of fear and surprise.
She left her weak spot open to him!
That was a silly mistake she had never done before!
While Ruby was thinking about making a suicide attack with the silver needle, Levi said, “If you really don’t want to give it back to me, that’s fine. But the pendant is the love token I’m going to give my fiancée. Now that you want to keep it, does it mean that you want to marry me?”
Ruby broke out into cold sweat after hearing his words.
Levi touched the sweat on her neck and smiled, “Are you afraid?”
