---- Chapter 2476 "Luna, you''ve changed," Valeriemented. The air grew tense and heavy. She let out a short, sarcasticugh, ncing first at Andrew, then back at Luna. "You''ve be sentimental... emotional, even paranoid. As for the reason, only God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know...and maybe that idiot over there knows a little too." She sneered. "Interesting. You actually dare to snap at me because of Andrew? Fine then, I''l y this little game with you...<fn364f> Content originallyes from find(?)ovel</fn364f>
It''s my favorite kind anyway." Leaving those cryptic words behind, Valerie turned and walked out of the Medicine God''s Covenant. As she left, she tossed onest line over her shoulder. "You took my body, Andrew. If you don''t take responsibility, I''ll haunt you till the day I die." Andrew opened his mouth but did not bother replying. He could tell Valerie was deliberately provoking Luna. Even if he were not the sharpest man in the room, that much was obvious. Sure enough, Luna''s expression turned dark.
"She was crying a minute ago, and now she''s saying something that makes ---- absolutely no sense. Andrew, don''t lie to me. Did you find yourself another woman aftering to Chetvine? Are you and Valerie tangled up again?" Andrew gave a bitter smile,pletely at a loss for words. He could not exactly say that, yes, he had stripped Valerie naked. Luna''s eyes flickered with something like pain before she muttered, "Forget it. Leave the items here. I''ve already delivered the military''s message. The rest is up to you, Andrew.
You used to be better than this, but now all you do is waste time with dangerous women. "Andrew, I once thought it wasn''t your fault, that your charm just drew women in. I even understood it a little because your brilliance was hard to ignore. But after all these years, I thought you would''ve grown up. Apparently, you haven''t. That so-called charm of yours still lingers, doesn''t it? Seems like it''s just your way of feeding that empty, lustful heart of yours." Luna''s tone grew colder with every word, and before Andrew could say anything, she turned to leave.
He felt a rush of frustration rise in his chest. "Wait. I don''t agree with what you just said. What do you mean by I''m doing all this to satisfy some empty desire? There''s absolutely nothing between me and Valerie, alright?" Luna paused, her voiceced with mockery. "Whether there''s ---- something between you two or not doesn''t concern me. But I saw it myself, Andrew... Valerie cried. A woman like her probably only cries once in her life. And what a coincidence, it was because of you." "Tell me, do you really expect anyone to believe there''s nothing between you?" she asked coldly.
Andrew clenched his fists, his anger barely contained. "Fine. Then tell me, how am I supposed to make you believe me? Don''t you know the kind of person I am?" Luna turned her face away. "No, I don''t. Are we even that close?" Andrew gave a short, bitterugh. "Not at all." "Good... Then we''ll leave it at that," she replied curtly. "Take care of yourself... I''m not seeing you off," Andrew responded in kind. Her chest rose and fell sharply as she held back her anger. "Fine. I don''t need you to." And with that, she walked out.
Andrew was left standing there, fuming, with nowhere to vent his frustration. Everyone seemed to being at him like he had done something wrong, though deep down, something still felt off. ---- That was when Leslie peeked her head in from outside and whispered, "Andrew, you''re such an idiot. Can''t you tell General Phn is just mad at you? She''s easy to calm down, really. All you have to do is give ina little, and she''ll smile at you again. She only ever smiles for you, by the way.
Think about what that means." She did not give him a chance to reply before running off, since Luna had already gotten in the car and was urging her to drive. Andrew frowned, reying Leslie''s words in his head. ''Luna only smiles at me? Is that true? Could it be...'' He shook the thought away quickly. If he kept going down that road, he would just end up feeling weird all over. A momentter, Isabelle walked in, holding a gift box and beaming. "Andrew, what''s wrong? You don''t look too happy."<style>
