Leopold really was loud. I didn't want to pay him any attention.
But he didn't seem to plan on leaving.
I reluctantly got off Evander and he ruffled my messy hair, smiling with his eyes turned into crescent moons.
"Be good, I'll go make him leave."
Evander, with his swollen lips, went to open the door.
As soon as the door cracked open, Leopold barged in like a madman.
His dark gaze swept over me, finally landing on the red marks on my neck.
"Dare to touch her? Evander, you dare touch her???"
Leopold yelled, his fists full of hatred, punching at Evander's back.
"Did you know she has amnesia? You're taking advantage of her vulnerability!"
I gasped.
Evander tilted his head just in time, narrowly avoiding the punch. Was this really the Evander I knew? His movements were so sharp?
His strikes were fierce, each one landing with brutal precision.
Within a few moves, he completely subdued Leopold and threw him out of the door.
"Get lost! Stop bothering her."
The door slammed shut with a loud bang, leaving only a dark, cold silhouette in the doorway. But when he turned back to me, his face softened into the usual tenderness.
"Did I scare you?"
It was nothing short of amazing.
I was left stunned.
Something wasn't right.
"Evander, are you hiding something from me?" Evander scratched his head, looking shy as he nodded.
"Hmm, you said you liked it, so I practiced a little."
"What?"
His long fingers pointed to his waist.
He liked abs?
When did I ever say that?
Then it clicked—I had once expressed my envy for a row of neatly defined abs back in my previous life, when I could only admire them from afar, never able to touch them.
But wait, how would Evander know that? I looked at the man before me with suspicion.
Our gazes locked, and I saw nothing but joy in his eyes.
"I know your 'love for pancakes' is your secret online persona."
He had been observant enough.
I had indeed posted some radical opinions under a fake account in certain videos. But now, did I still have any dignity left?
My secret had been exposed so easily. How would I ever play tricks on Evander again?
Fine. I gave up, rubbing my hands in excitement, eagerly eyeing Evander's hard abs.
"Can I touch them?"
His handsome face quickly flushed crimson. After a long pause, a soft "Hmm" came from above my head.
