Cheat Awakening

Chapter 284: Chapter 284. Sweet Talk

"Well, if you had, instead of f*cking me all day long just after seeing me, fought with me at least once, then you might have had a strong, reliable, smart, handsome, and absolutely powerful Myne under your ass instead of a coward making your life hellish..."

Myne's voice broke the quiet stillness, a playful edge dancing around the teasing remark.

Velvet's head snapped towards him, surprise crinkling seeing Myne sitting beside her, eyes reflecting the dancing flames in the fireplace, a picture of nonchalance.

"When did you come here!? I didn't hear any movement. Quite weird," Velvet, breathing a sigh of relief, asked as she observed Myne up and down for some reason.

Myne shrugged, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Just long enough to hear you lamenting the hero you already have, but somehow don't see. I still can't believe I have such a weak, cowardly, and selfish image in your mind... Why do I suddenly feel like I wasted quite a few months for nothing?"

"Where did you get those clothes? Don't all your clothes get lost?" Velvet, as if not noticing the sadness in Myne's tone, asked with a frown.

"Amm... From my storage bag? Otherwise, Where else would I find such exquisite attire in this shitty town?" Myne replied hesitantly, smiling awkwardly and avoiding eye contact.

"Storage bag, huh?" Velvet's voice held a hint of suspicion, but the corner of her mouth twitched upwards. "Finished your crow dinner, then?"

"Honey," Myne drawled, leaning back in the chair, "as much as I love you, even my valiant stomach has its limits, unless my life is really on the line because of a food shortage, I am not going to eat something like that. Also, maybe it's time I let you meet Aisha and you learn a few dozen things about cooking from her.

Your cooking talent is not much higher than mine," Myne calmly replied with a poker face, not caring that his words, filled with absolute truth, could bring him a good beating.

"Aisha? Cooking... Hahahaha..."

Velvet, already quite confused by Myne's sudden change in behaviour, burst into unexpected laughter, startling Myne, the sound echoing unsettlingly in the quiet room.

"Would you believe me if I said that I have full faith in you, that you'll come to save me?" Velvet, burying her head in Myne's chest, raised her head, looking at him with puppy eyes before asking.

"Hehehe, oh my little kitty, you're so naive. If I still believed in this level of nonsense, wouldn't it be better for me to stay in that basement for the rest of my life?" Myne lightly kissed Velvet's dry lips before speaking with a light chuckle.

"This is the Master I always love and dream of living together with... By the way, hearing your casual tone regarding the fake version of yourself, it seems like you also had a similar experience as me. So, what's your story? How did you find out that the Velvet beside you was fake?" Velvet, to hide her embarrassment, quickly changed the topic, speaking like a shy girl.

"There were three points that made me realize the Velvet beside me was a fake. Unlike the fake version of myself, who was clearly a novice in his work, she was very professional. If it weren't for a big accident that shouldn't have happened, I might never have realized she was a copy of you. And believe me, I really had a pay a very big price if I didn't find out about her identity."

"The first point—when she mentioned my mother's name. I distinctly remember never telling you anything about my mother, let alone her name. So, her knowing about it raised the biggest suspicions. The second time was when I casually mentioned your mother's ring.

Her reaction was as if it was normal for me to know about it, which it shouldn't be, as you never mentioned your mother to me and one day when you were talking to your late mother, I just silently listened to your talk and learned how important that ring for you... Sorry about that, Myne apologises while holding his ears.

Velvet just rolled her eyes at Myne's apologies while giving a pinch on his cheek. "No need to apologize. It's not a big deal. Even if you had asked me directly, I would have told you everything about my mother's ring. It's not some kind of national treasure I had to hide from everyone until my last breath anyway. So, what was the last point?"

"Hehehe, the last point was very obvious. I just subconsciously always ignored it. It was that you became too obedient and well-behaved, like an honest wife. You started doing what I told you without any of your own thoughts. Never once did you try to deny my orders, as if what I said was absolute. You always spoke in my favour, either motivating me or joking around to make me feel good.

No matter what kind of situation we were in, you were always optimistic, and ready to do anything, anytime, anywhere. You literally became my dream girl without any flaws, which was the biggest flaw in itself, as no one can be so perfect, especially a girl who is an uncontrollable emotional being.

At first, I thought it was my own inner charm that made me like this after experiencing those scary things. But when those doubts cleared, my vision became clear, and I noticed how creepy all your acting was..."

"I still get goosebumps every time I think about it," Myne shivered while thinking about demonic Velvet's smile suddenly appearing in front of him.

"By the way, have I told you that we are currently inside your dream world?" Myne, whose hands were now caressing Velvet's head, somehow having changed their path and moved to rest on top of her breasts, continued to speak.
