"It's great that Young Master Parrish is willing to listen... Anna, can we still come and chat with you in the future?" Abigail asked eagerly.
Anna smiled: "Of course you can."
All three of them visibly relaxed when they heard her words. They had maintained a distance when they first arrived, but slowly began to move closer.
Anna acted like nothing had happened yesterday, and she reconciled and chatted with them.
Although they were plastic friends...there was nothing wrong with this. If someone must be blamed, it would have to be the demon.
When Anna faced the demon, she was absolutely at a disadvantage, so she could only secretly pray that he would suddenly lose interest in her soul and leave. When he appeared in front of her, she couldn't hide even if she wanted to.
For example, when Anna was bringing Parrish a breakfast at a time closer to noon like usual, she found that Parrish was sitting at a table that the demon liked to sit at in the past. Besides Parrish, Ulysses, who was possessed by the demon, was also there.
Anna paused slightly, and she deliberately had a look of surprise on her face.
She held back what she wanted to say, put out the dishes in the food box, and said apologetically to the demon: "Honorable lord, I didn’t know you were here; only the breakfast of Young Master Parrish was prepared. Please wait. I will prepare it for you now."
"There’s no need." Rothgarr stopped her.
Anna responded, "Okay, my lord."
She stepped aside and waited quietly for Parrish to finish his breakfast.
Parrish smiled slightly and said to Rothgarr: "There is nothing fun in Blue Rock City, but there are a few good places outside the city. Ulysses, you have to recuperate here anyways. Next time, once we’re both better, I will take you to go play."
Anna's eyes drooped, but her ears were listening to Parrish's words.
Look, didn’t she say that the demon would definitely not leave? Didn't he still use the injury as an excuse to stay?
Rothgarr said coldly, "I don’t want to go."
He hated Parrish’s friendly attitude very much. Whether in Parrish’s memory or Ulysses’s memory, the two had no contact. He just passed by here deliberately. When he didn’t refuse Parrish’s enthusiastic greeting for him to come in and sit down, Parrish showed inexplicable familiarity.
He was more annoying than Balan.
"Hahaha, that’s fine." Rothgarr's refusal did not make Parrish feel any discomfort. Although this playboy had a good image and a good family, he often struck up a lot of conversations. He had encountered a few stubborn ones, and though the rejection rate was not high, the number of people were also quite a lot. He had long been used to it, and didn’t take it seriously anymore. He smiled and said, "Are you really not going to have a breakfast? I think my dear Anna will be very happy to run errands for you."
Rothgarr didn't even want to reply. He ignored Parrish's words.
Parrish didn't care either, looking in a good mood during breakfast.
Anna silently watched the scene before her, and suddenly thought, if she can't see the demon possessing, then for her, this one in front of her is a Shura field. Both of them have proposed to her...
Anna was quiet. Rothgarr did not speak, only made slight movements as Parrish was eating. When he put the knife and fork down, Anna consciously went forward to tidy up.
Suddenly, she felt her hair being lightly grasped. When she turned her head in surprise, she happened to see Parrish sniffing the end of her hair intoxicatedly, smiling at her and saying, "My dear, your hair is so beautiful. Just like the gorgeous flowers blooming under the throne of the goddess; whether it is the beautiful brown-red color or the faint mint fragrance, it is intoxicating."
Anna: "..."
Oh, Goddess! Please punish this pervert!
Anna refrained herself from throwing the things she was packing at Parrish. From the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of the demon who seemed to be watching this scene with relish. She didn't know what he was observing.
… That’s right, when the demon was still possessing Parrish, she seemed to both refuse and welcome Parrish’s flirting.
However, because she later asked Ulysses to become his student, the demon changed possession and wanted to use her desire to become a mage to lure her into signing the soul contract.
If she changed too fast, he might become suspicious. And if she continued to refuse, he might return to Parrish’s body and continue to seduce her.
She was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Anna continued to have her head lowered. She tidied up the things on the table and put them back in the food box. Then, she blushed and pulled her long hair out of Parrish's hands. Before she could say a few words shyly, Parrish suddenly held her hands and smiled charmingly: "My dear, are you shy? Don't be shy. My compliment to you is sincere and from the heart, and this is what you deserve."
...He was crazy!
Anna pulled her hand back, gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you, Young Master Parrish. Your compliment makes me feel embarrassed."
Anna felt that Parrish's casanova appearance was worse than the demon who only wanted her soul! At least that demon wouldn’t be so touchy!
She saluted and left quickly, and Parrish laughed behind her.
After Anna was gone, Parrish deeply smelled the hand holding Anna's hair, and said with emotion: "What a lovely girl. What do you think, Ulysses?"
Rothgarr silently observed Anna's reaction just now. Her shyness and anger were most likely all fake.
That clever and cunning human woman was definitely not an innocent lamb.
He sneered and hummed an unexplained syllable through his nose.
