So Zion involuntarily furrowed his brows.
“Why?”
“Whether I come out any way or think about it myself, I’m okay. If I become a saint, my original goal is achieved, so it’s good as it is, and if not, I can get help from the Count, so this is good too.”
Struck by Evie’s bold answer, Zion felt like he was hit on the head.
And the incredibly honest Evie screamed inside.
‘Evie is not so cunning!’
Because of the curse that would burst if she made a mistake, she even blurted out her thoughts in her head.
Evie was scrambling to pick up those words when the incredible Count opened his mouth again.
“Will you take me as insurance?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Is that your original character?”
“I have a thoroughly calculating personality.”
“But why…”
‘Stop it!’
As the Count’s question continued, Evie, whose mouth was taken by the curse, rushed in frustration to stop it, even if it was hasty to block his mouth.
And that desperate attempt beautifully turned into an accident.
The difference in levels of the rugged stone steps, the posture of the Count leaning against the wall, and Evie Ariate’s desperation all overlapped, and Evie fell over with the Count.
The Count, who was caught off guard and pinned down by Evie, sat on the stairs and asked.
“What are you doing now…”
But before the question was completed, Evie, who was sitting on his knee, covered his mouth with both hands.
So the Count was suddenly attacked and his mouth was shut.
Evie, who had committed this daring act, looked at the Count with a tearful heart.
At that close distance, the Count was silently looking at her.
Certainly, I have taken note of the characters’ names and genders, and here’s the translation:
The gesture seemed like a silent command to put her hand away, but Evie could not muster the courage to either obey or defy it.
So, the Count simply reached out his hand.
Evie naturally assumed that he was trying to pull her hand away and was ready to retreat.
But, unexpectedly, the Count’s hand was directed not at his own face but at Evie’s face.
The Count’s rough fingertips touched Evie’s cheek.
Evie startled and flinched, but sitting on the Count’s knee, she couldn’t escape far.
Eventually, the Count’s large hand covered Evie’s face.
Her eyes trembled with unease at the unfamiliar touch.
But the Count paid no mind and firmly pressed Evie’s cheeks with his thumb and middle finger.
“Ugh!”
Evie’s face scrunched up in an instant, and she hastily retreated from him in shock at his rudeness.
Then she covered both cheeks with her hands, staring at the Count in disbelief.
She wanted to protest, but since she was the first to touch his face, she couldn’t find the words to say.
So, she leaned against the wall, swallowing her empty sighs, while the Count stood up and brushed off his wrinkled clothes.
“I understand your intentions well. There’s no need to worry unnecessarily.”
The Count also put on the coat that Evie had handed him. Then, he concluded calmly, as if nothing had happened,
“The agreement is wrong, and it seems like you’ll do as you please, so let me know after the selection of the saintess. How I should take care of you.”
Leaving these words behind, the Count quickly strode out of the stairwell.
And Evie, only much later, came out of her shock and fumed at his audacity.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
