Chapter 136

I looked at Richard's figure with a fluttering feeling, waiting for what he would say from his lips which were once again tightly pressed together, making it difficult for me to just ignore.

"I think... I wonder if it's okay for you to..."

"To what?"

"To keep yourself as close to me as possible. Can you do that for me?"

"Before I answer your question, may I ask you the reason behind your request?"

"Well... Maybe this sounds childish, but I was afraid you would hate me after what happened a few days ago..."

"About you teasing me in the living room, but then you immediately sulk and go into your room?"

Richard nodded in resignation, his face looked like a puppy regretting his actions after doing something forbidden. I could barely stop myself from laughing when I saw it, but I quickly covered it up by pressing my fingers as hard as I could.
