Cheat Awakening

Chapter 388. The Sleeping Beauty

"Miss Elsa, I believe you may be forgetting something. I, too, am a commoner, and haven't I already married Sylphy? You've been taking care of Lewis since he was a child, and even now, after he's grown up, you still handle most of his work. If Lewis still doesn't care about you, then either he has no emotions or simply doesn't see you as a hume being at all, and you are just a tool for him.

Thankfully, judging by Lewis's reaction, it seems you hold a very important place in his heart."

Myne fears that Elsa might become so flustered hearing things she's always wanted to hear, but obviously from someone else's mouth, and would make noise again attracting Lewis and Sylphy's attention, which he certainly wouldn't want, he hurriedly covered her mouth with his hand.

"Mmm... Ahem..."

Although Myne's intention of covering Elsa's mouth was pure this time, he forgot one crucial thing: he hadn't deactivated his Soothing Touch skill. As he covered her mouth, she instantly turned on. However, from Myne's perspective, Elsa was just surprised by his words and wanted to deny them but couldn't because he was holding her mouth. So, he didn't take her shaking body seriously and continued...

"Alright, Miss Elsa, let's stop beating around the bush and get to the point. You might not know this, but Sylphy and I both know that you love Lewis deeply and want to be with him, not as a friend of course, but as a wife.

However, due to fear of rejection because of your commoner status and the age gap, you can't muster the courage to reveal your true feelings and have always concealed them in your heart."

"And I also know that if nothing unexpected happens, you might not be able to confess your true feelings to Lewis until your last breath, only to take care of him and suffer silently while watching him marry another woman and start a family with her, which you've always dreamt of.

"Now, I'm removing my hand. If you truly want to know why I told you this, then you'll remain silent and let me finish. Otherwise, the door is open, and you can leave immediately anyway, while treating that our conversation had never happened," Saying that, Myne instantly removed his hand from Elsa's juicy lips and stared into her moist eyes, waiting to see what kind of decision she would make.

However, unless she had something wrong with her mind and enjoyed seeing the most important person in her life with another woman, Myne didn't believe she would stand up from the couch.

Just as he expected even after five minutes, when Elsa still remained silent and hadn't moved an inch, Myne nodded with satisfaction and put his arm around her shoulder in a friendly manner.

"You made the right choice, Sister-in-law. When you and Lewis have children and you tell them about this matter, you will definitely feel proud that you made the right choice."

Whether it was because Myne called her Sister-in-law or due to the effect of the Soothing Touch, Elsa's face turned red as a tomato. She lowered her face shyly like a little girl, clutching the edge of her skirt tightly.

Right now, she didn't look like a lady about to enter her thirties from any angle, but a cute, shy girl whose little secret had been exposed, and she just wanted to find a hole to bury her head in.

Her eyelids became so heavy that she could barely read a few words in ten seconds, and even those vanished before reaching her memory bank. Read exclusive chapters at empire

Half an hour later, just as Lewis finished his testing on the last orbs and was about to erupt with excitement like a volcano, a knock on the door disturbed everyone except Sylphy.

Under Aisha's bad influence, she had long ago forgotten the special rules her teacher taught her, such as always being vigilant while sleeping, and becoming a heavy sleeper who couldn't wake up with such a small sound at all.

Elsa, who had also cast aside her shyness after understanding Myne's personality and becoming very close to him after he repeatedly magical words Sister-in-law on her. She had also turned back to the powerful woman who managed the entire clan and was already working on how to enlighten Lewis so he could propose his own love to her with Myne.

So after she heard the knock on the door her anger instantly hit the maximum, if not for the fact that she wanted to manage her good sister-in-law imaged in Myne's mind, she might have already rushed toward this bastard who disturbed them in such a critical moment.

Lewis, worried that this newcomer might disturb Elsa's rest, hurried towards the door before she could get up and open it. Outside stood an old man in his sixties wearing matching white clothes like his hair and gold-tone "half-moon" glasses.

Seeing the old man, Lewis, who had been a bit angry at first, instantly perked up. He grabbed the old man's hand and, before he could speak anything, dragged him into his office. Lewis directly brought him to his desk and pushed all the metal orbs Sylphy had given him, along with the information about their properties he'd found in the past half hour.

The old man, who knew Lewis very well, understood from his excitement that he had something extraordinary in his hands. So, he put aside the business for which he came here, as well as the various questions he had about Sylphy napping in a chair with papers and Elsa giving him murderous glances. He started reading the information. However, soon, the old man's hands couldn't help but start trembling.

He opened his eyes so wide that it seemed they might pop out of their sockets in shock.

"F*CK!"

The old man couldn't hold back his excitement and exclaimed loudly, slamming his palm on the table. Unfortunately, his outburst cost Sylphy her sweet nap. Half of the papers that were stacked on top of each other fell on her head, making her fall out of the chair in shock.

"WHAT THE HELL! Which bastard dare to play this prank on me?"

Sylphy wasn't a gentle-tempered person. Only when she was with family did she not lose her cool easily. But no one can stay calm if their sweet sleep is disturbed halfway through.

After getting out of the pile of papers, Sylphy was so angry that she directly flipped the table at the old man and Lewis, who were the only ones standing in front of her, and poor Lewis unnecessarily became the target of his sister's anger.
