Enzo’s lips opened and closed several times.
This woman’s question...
She was still talking about it.
The question was practically another invitation to become a couple.
After thinking for a moment, he answered, "I never said I didn’t want to. However, don’t think I’m here just doing some pointless work. I have my own goals. Of course, I’m not going to travel around the world."
"I don’t plan on traveling around the world anymore. I still intend to become stronger," Emma replied.
Enzo became confused upon hearing that.
She still wanted to become stronger?
Then why was she still bringing this up?
His confused expression seemed to bother Emma.
"I’m a normal adult woman. Is there anything wrong with wanting a boyfriend?" she said.
Her annoyance was obvious as she forced herself to say it.
Seriously, she was a woman who had to say all of this herself.
But she also knew that a woman like her would never be approached by a man unless he had some ulterior motive, such as wanting her wealth.
That would only have been different if she were still Mr. Garcia’s daughter.
Unfortunately, her father had kicked her out.
Although she still had plenty of money, it wasn’t enough to attract ambitious Awakeners.
"Tell me all the reasons you chose me," Enzo replied.
"Didn’t I already tell you? You’re the one most suitable for me," Emma answered as she stared at Enzo’s face before adding softly, "I admit you’re handsome. I like your appearance."
Her face became noticeably red after saying that.
"Damn it..." she cursed.
But after that, she managed to regain her composure.
"Just consider me drunk. I’ve been under a lot of mental pressure lately, so I tend to act impulsively without thinking things through. You can forget about this if you don’t want it."
Now that she had calmed down, it seemed she simply wanted to preserve her dignity.
She had already said everything. What else could she do besides pretend none of it had happened if Enzo rejected her?
Even this man she considered a failure had rejected her.
Emma became even more pessimistic about herself.
She wondered why she had been born as Mr. Garcia’s daughter if she wasn’t destined to become extraordinary.
To her surprise, just as she was about to leave, Enzo grabbed her hand.
She stared at him in disbelief.
Was this man not going to reject her?
"It can be as you want, but keep this a secret. And as for me, I can help you with your ambitions," Enzo said with a smile.
He didn’t know if he was becoming too greedy when it came to women.
After all, it was obvious that he was interested in Charlotte.
But he had to admit that he was somewhat greedy.
It was simply too difficult to throw away something good.
More importantly, Emma really could help him tremendously.
The key was the woman’s background.
If he gave her a character and she developed it, her father would likely take notice of her again.
If that man believed the strength belonged to his own daughter, he probably wouldn’t hesitate to provide resources for that character to help his daughter progress.
Mr. Garcia.
He was only beneath Enzo’s father.
He was still far above Rebecca.
His strength might have increased as well.
Enzo was certain that man had plenty of extraordinary things in his possession.
Emma’s eyes lit up when she heard Enzo’s answer.
She looked as though she couldn’t believe it.
Then Enzo was startled.
The woman stepped closer, her hand moving toward his neck before wrapping around it.
She hugged him.
She even pushed him back until he was leaning against a tree.
Her desire was far too obvious.
Enzo had already suspected that a woman like Emma had a dangerous amount of pent-up desire.
He hadn’t expected her to act on it so quickly.
Before he could react, the woman’s lips moved against his, pressing firmly against his.
Enzo could feel the pull of her lips as though she wanted to devour him.
Comfortable.
Of course it was comfortable.
Emma also had a well-proportioned figure. She wasn’t as curvaceous as Bella, but neither was she as slender as Charlotte.
Enzo couldn’t bring himself to reject her.
He wrapped an arm around her slender waist and returned her kiss, which only grew more intense.
Although the woman’s movements were somewhat awkward, perhaps because this was her first time, her desire was far too fierce.
It only made Enzo feel hotter.
Fortunately, he was still aware of where they were.
Even though they were hidden, someone might see them if more people came over.
Because of that, he eventually pushed her away.
"Don’t do anything strange here," he said.
He noticed that the woman’s neck had turned red.
Yet her gaze remained cold, nothing like the way a woman usually looked at her lover.
"I’ll listen to you. But you can’t change your mind," she said.
"Why would I change my mind? Who would throw away a beautiful woman who is his girlfriend?" Enzo replied with a chuckle.
After calming down a little, Emma seemed somewhat embarrassed, but she suppressed it.
Embarrassment would give her nothing.
What she wanted was a handsome man who belonged to her.
Only she knew how badly she needed that.
The loneliness, frustration, and desire... she couldn’t deal with them without a man by her side.
"You said you could help me? How are you going to help me?" the woman asked again, staring at Enzo suspiciously.
It wasn’t that she didn’t trust him.
She simply wasn’t stupid.
Someone who had supposedly failed to awaken yet could remain so cheerful and relaxed among Awakeners probably had something he was relying on.
"I naturally have my secrets. But what I’m wondering is whether you’ll keep those secrets."
"Do you think I can’t keep a secret? I don’t even bother exposing the secrets of people I dislike. Why would I expose the secrets of my own partner?"
"Yeah. Based on my judgment, you’re the right person."
That was Enzo’s personal assessment.
Of course, his confidence was also partly because he was less afraid of being exposed now that his level had become considerably higher.
"However, there’s no need to rush," he added.
"Alright!"
Emma didn’t push him.
She merely furrowed her brows slightly, realizing that she had to listen if she wanted to maintain their relationship.
"When will we?" she asked again.
Enzo froze for a moment upon hearing that.
This was clearly a different topic.
This woman was really asking him that.
She seemed to want it very badly.
Emma maintained her composure as she asked, but there was clearly a trace of nervousness in her eyes.
Normally, the man was supposed to be the impatient one.
Yet here, it was the woman.
As a normal man, Enzo naturally felt his desire rising.
Yesterday, Bella had invited him.
Now Emma.
Who knew? Maybe tomorrow it would be Charlotte, although he thought that was highly unlikely.
"I still have something important to take care of," Enzo said.
"Wait. Give me your phone number," Emma said as he was about to leave.
The two of them should have exchanged numbers before becoming a couple.
But they hadn’t.
Even though they had interacted many times, their interactions had always been chaotic.
Their relationship was also the result of Emma’s own recklessness.
Enzo took Emma’s phone and entered his number before handing it back.
The woman didn’t immediately save it.
She was still staring at his face.
"Alright, I’ll go first."
Enzo walked away.
He felt as though he were being watched by a bloodthirsty psychopath.
This woman might not have love in her heart, but she certainly had obsession.
His steps became somewhat hurried.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized no one had seen them.
Emma certainly wouldn’t want their relationship exposed either.
If it got out, they would become the entertainment of the entire Sanctuary.
As he walked, Enzo lit a cigarette.
’Even if I’m not an Awakener, I think my life will still be pretty wonderful.’
He had Bella, and now he was dating Emma, who might have a terrible personality but was still a beautiful woman and the daughter of a powerful and extremely wealthy Awakener.
Logically speaking, that was a satisfying life.
He could do absolutely nothing and still live comfortably because of those two women.
Even his nights in bed would undoubtedly be very enjoyable.
However, thinking about it only made him scratch his head.
A while later, he arrived in front of the compound filled with magnificent castles, although none of them were particularly large.
"No, no, no. Don’t ask."
He walked forward while examining each castle except Violet’s.
The area was naturally quiet.
Every castle looked different, but he couldn’t see inside any of them.
So where did Charlotte live?
Despite his uncertainty, he soon noticed something.
One of the castles had several pots of flowers arranged neatly beside its entrance.
Various fresh-looking flowers were growing in them.
Nothing like this could be seen around the other castles.
Enzo didn’t believe they were ancient remnants.
He immediately became certain.
With a faint smile, he walked toward the castle’s entrance, only to notice that the door was slightly open.
Indeed, the flowers appeared to have been watered recently.
There were even a few drops of water left behind.
Enzo stepped inside curiously.
Then he heard the clang of metal coming from behind the back wall.
It was probably coming from the kitchen.
He continued toward the sound.
Based on what had happened the previous night, when Charlotte hadn’t even minded sitting beside him, combined with the fact that she herself had invited him to have breakfast at her home, he thought he could act casually without announcing his arrival.
He headed toward the kitchen door.
But when he arrived, his eyes widened.
The person cooking wasn’t the short-haired white-haired woman he had expected.
Instead, it was a long, wavy red-haired woman in her thirties, with a beautiful yet cold and dangerous face.
She had a tall figure with graceful curves and was currently wearing nothing but a pair of shorts, leaving her long legs fully exposed.
Rebecca Morgan.
How could she be here?
Enzo felt as though he had just been hit in the head with a steel hammer.
Hadn’t that woman still been beneath the lava, observing the colossal serpent?
Of course, considering her strength, she could easily return in a short amount of time if she wanted to.
