Chapter 171-Let's Start As Friends!

"Scarlet break out of it!, what I meant was that I can't be your lover with you right now, the reason being that I don't know much about you but that doesn't mean that it won't happen in the future!"

My words seemed to have calmed her down, as the light within her eyes seemed to return, her face turned a bit confused as she looked at me
