A Different Husband Every Night (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 42

Could it be that whenever someone described Levanfel as “rotten,” this was precisely what they meant? Until now, I thought it was just a light, offhand remark.

Goosebumps prickled across my skin.

Iana, who had been muttering to herself, tilted her head in confusion when she got no reply and scrutinized me. I quickly masked my expression before Iana could sense anything suspicious.

“It must have been a reflection of light—it looked that way to me too. I visited there before, and that window sometimes appears white from the glare.”

“Oh! So that’s how it is!”
