A tall and upright figure stood next to the car
Mnie changed her steps, walking to the other side. However, she soon heard Eugene’s husky and slightly deep voice. “It’s gettingte, and it’s unsafe for you to return alone. I’ll drive you.”
Mnie’s steps did not stop, as if she had not heard him. Eugene softly called out again, “Mnie,”
His actions were quicker than his words. He reached out and grabbed Mnie’s wrist. Only then did he realize how thin Mnie was,
Her wrist was so delicate that he dared not exert any force. It felt as if it would break with the slightest strength exerted on it.
<b>“</b>I—” It was a little dark there<b>, </b>and Mnie could not see the emotions in his eyes. She could only feel the warmth in his palm and the slight trembling as he held her wrist.
Mnie looked back at him. Despite her calm expression, she was a bit annoyed.
Honestly, she did not want to see Eugene at a time like this.
Mnie exerted some force in her hand, pulling her wrist out of Eugene’s grasp.
Eugene felt the tangible feeling in his hand disappearpletely like a gust of wind.
Feeling the emptiness in <b>his </b>hand<b>, </b>an inexplicable sense of panic overwhelmed him. He had waited here for a long time, thinking he had a lot to say to Mnie.
However<b>, </b>seeing her in person suppressed all the words deep inside him. His throat felt clogged, and he could not utter a single word.

Mnie’s patience wore thin, and she did not <b>hide </b>her irritability and displeasure. “You’re annoying.”
After a pause<b>, </b>she added, “<b>I </b>didn’t think you were so annoying before. Is this your inherent w, enjoying being disliked and shamelessly following me?”
Her words were ruthless<b>; </b>hitting Eugene’s pride. She <b>expected </b><b>him </b>to be unable <b>to </b>endure such humiliation and spare her from future encounters.
As expected<b>, </b>Eugene’s entire body stiffened, and his expression changed <b>subtly</b>.
Eugene remained frozen for a long time. Mnie withdrew her indifferent gaze and turned to leave. However<b>, </b>as <b>soon </b>as <b>she </b>lifted her <b>foot</b><b>, </b><b>he </b><b>pressed </b>his chest against her from behind. His minty scent enveloped her.
Eugene did not <be </b><b>over </b>to do anything to Mnie. He just really wanted <b>to </b><b>see </b><b>her</b>.
However, <b>after </b>seeing Mnie’s genuine disgust and indifference for him<b>, </b>he felt <b>empty </b><b>inside</b>. His body, quicker than his mind, instinctively embraced Mnie.
The slender and frail body in his arms was cold. <b>When </b>Eugene returned to his senses, he dared not use
<b>too </b>much force<b>, </b>even with her in his <b>embrace</b><b>. </b>
He was afraid of hurting <b>her</b><b>. </b>
The familiar faint fragrance from her body made Eugene’s hands uncontrobly tremble.
Although he had tightened <b>the </b>hold around her <b>waist</b><b>, </b>he loosened it a bit after a moment as if afraid Mnie might feel ufortable.
His attempt to <b>please </b>was <b>obvious </b>when <b>he </b>lowered his <b>head</b><b>, </b>and <b>his </b>cold lips brushed against her earlobe<b>, </b>intending to move lower<b>. </b>
However<b>, </b>he stopped. He sensed the uncontroble tremor <b>in </b><b>the </b>person in <b>his </b><b>arms</b><b>, </b>and his mind <b>was </b>clear again.
The next moment, he heard Mnie questioning him with <b>a </b>cold and trembling <b>voice</b><b>, </b><b>“</b>Eugene, can you please stop disgusting <b>me</b><b>?</b>”
<b>His </b>heart skipped a beat, and his arm was pushed away.
Mnie left without looking back, takingrge strides away. She changed her flight to Oskon City and boarded the ne the next day<b>. </b>She didn’t want to stay in Jepton for another day<b>. </b>
