Cheat Awakening

Chapter 390. Sylphy's Inquiry

"Okay, Sylphy, I have two choices for you. First, I can buy those unknown ores from you, with the price based on their unknown properties and uniqueness, which shouldn't disappoint you. However, there is a chance that you might not get their actual price, as no one can truly determine their value without conducting proper tests on them. The second choice is for you to return tomorrow.

By then, my team will have finished researching the ores, and I'll have the money prepared. How does that sound?"

Lewis's proposal didn't surprise Sylphy. She simply nodded and stood to leave. There was nothing further to be done here, Lewis seemed swamped with work and had no time to waste on her. It would be best not to disturb her any further.

"Then I won't bother you further. I'm leaving. Remember to complete my task," Sylphy said while giving The Old Man Tuchikava a deep look, before exiting the room, followed by an unseen figure who'd also enjoyed a pleasant conversation with a beautiful lady.

"Clan Leader, but how will you manage all of this? Don't forget, not only do you have to sign those papers, but you also have to return to the palace tomorrow," Elsa despite her happy mood, mercilessly poked at Lewis's sore spot after Myne left.

"Can't you see the importance of this matter, Elsa? If those ores are truly as valuable as the parchment describes, many of our plans won't be limited to mere notebooks anymore!" Lewis, who'd spent the past three hours desperately seeking an escape from paperwork, naturally wouldn't listen. He stood up from his chair and began walking towards the exit with Tuchikava.

"Then what about these reports? Without your signature, many important works will be stalled indefinitely," Pleaded Elsa, helpless. Their relationship wasn't yet at the stage where she could force him back to work under the power of her love fist. She is still just a friend and secretary, and could only give her suggestions, the final decision still depends on Lewis.

Lewis, who'd been engrossed in a lively discussion with Tuchikava, abruptly stopped. Although it was true that because of Elsa, he never took his clan work seriously, after reading those reports for a few hours, he understood that they were very important and his approval was definitely needed. After thinking for a bit, he gritted his teeth and decided to postpone it until tomorrow.

Although disobeying his mother's orders would cost him a good beating, there was no way around it. What Sylphy had given him was just too valuable, and for this, he was willing to endure a beating.

"I'll do it tomorrow. Let's push back my vacation to the day after tomorrow." After saying this, Lewis already started picturing his miserable condition but he quickly shook his head to get rid of those dangerous thoughts and exited the room.

She cherished this opportunity where she could stay in such a nice family and didn't want to jeopardize it with her curiosity.

"Sigh, Sylphy you are now behaving like a child. Look, you scared Amy off. What would she think about me? Besides, you need to have some confidence in your husband. Do I look like a womanizer to you from any angle?" Myne asked with a hint of anger.

Although it was indeed his fault, but what could he do when the beautiful lady in front of him suddenly caught him off guard and started kissing him in excitement? he couldn't blast her away with his skills, right? It was only natural for him to share the joy and sorrow with someone who was about to become a relative.

"Yes, you do, and that too a big one," both Aisha and Sylphy declared simultaneously, leaving Myne completely dumbfounded. He didn't expect that his wives' understanding of him would increase to this point in just a few months.

"Well, then you're both mistaken," Myne countered with a sigh. "Firstly, Sylphy, I didn't reveal myself to Elsa. She possesses a magical item that alerts her whenever someone uses a skill nearby. That's how she discovered me. As for the second matter, Sylphy, have you ever noticed the way Elsa looked at Lewis?

Tell me, what do you think Elsa desires the most?" He inquired with a playful yet confident smile that considerably calmed Sylphy's anger. Even Aisha, sensing Myne's potential innocence, sifted her attention and became intrigued by the gossip.

Although she didn't know who Elsa was, since she was related to Lewis, she might be an important figure, which made her even more interested in digging up this secret.

"Are you referring to Elsa's feelings for Lewis? If so, then except my stupid little brother, everyone in the family knows about it. Lewis achieved independence and success at a young age, while Elsa also showcased her remarkable talent and admirable personality. Mother and father never had a problem with her, and they decided to leave this matter entirely to Lewis.

Whether he wanted to marry her or not, they would not interfere."

"Mother even wanted to push this matter forward, but alas, Lewis, whom she always praised for his intelligence, finally showed his biggest weakness.

After multiple attempts to make him close to Elsa, he always disappointed her and couldn't understand even simple things regarding the relationship because he always tries to see them from a logical perspective, instead of looking for hidden meaning in her words. Eventually, Mother, seeing the lack of progress, relinquished control and let fate decide their outcome."
