Chapter 86

“Haaam…”

Sophie woke up in the pitch-black room.

The bed felt soft, and the blanket was cozy.

‘I don’t want to go out…’

She had tossed and turned all night.

The reason, of course, was Gilmon.

To be precise, it was regret over denouncing Gilmon.

‘To think he could smile so wickedly.’

Sierra leaning against Gilmon’s chest, smiling with her eyes.

‘Fluttering.’

That was the exact word that came to mind.

‘Sierra Solers fluttering to Gilmon Salazar.’

It was an unfamiliar phrase even to Sophie, who hadn’t known her for very long.

If she described Sierra like that to someone who knew her, they’d laugh in disbelief.

Just look at the horrified reaction of the Princess, who was her classmate.

“… What to do… How should I apologize…”

Gilmon had gynophobia.

She was ashamed of herself for accusing him of being a rapist.

No, this wasn’t something that could be atoned for with a feeling of shame.

She felt like doing a naked dogeza if she could.

If that would make him feel better.

But it wouldn’t.

If he had gynophobia, wouldn’t he be afraid of a woman’s body?

Come to think of it, she remembered herself subtly throwing sex jokes at Gilmon in the past.

“Take my virginity… Seriously… I’m crazy. How could I say such embarrassing things?”

It wasn’t just embarrassing, but the person involved must have been uncomfortable too.

Sophie thought of men in a simple way.

The boyfriends she met in college all wanted her body.

It was so obvious that she became defensive instead.

In the end, she couldn’t last long with them and broke up.

‘You say you love me, but why won’t you have sex with me?’

Won’t have sex with her.

It was such an absurd and childish thing to say that she snapped out of it.

Were all men that childish?

Because she had those memories, Sophie could be proactive.

Of course, men liked it when women came on to them.

She thought they would go crazy even if she made such jokes.

Gilmon had always looked embarrassed at those times and subtly changed the subject.

If it was just once or twice, it would have ended with him playing hard to get.

Gilmon really didn’t seem interested in Sophie’s body.

Of course, she had confirmed his erection… but that must have been a biological reaction.

“… Could it be that he was thinking of my pride?”

There’s nothing more humiliating than having your sex appeal rejected.

It felt like being disqualified as a woman.

Gilmon had been considerate of her despite his chronic gynophobia.

“… What have I done?”

It was true that she wanted to tease him at first.

She didn’t believe that he would never have sex with Phonia.

No matter how uncomfortable Phonia’s body was, wouldn’t a woman with big breasts and obedience have her own appeal?

To put it bluntly, men would get it up even if they only had the strength to lift a spoon.

Thanks to the eye drops Gilmon had recently given her, Phonia’s incurable eyes had been cured.

How long had it been since she had seen her sister’s clear eyes?

She still couldn’t figure out how Gilmon had gotten it.

Maybe he was an illegitimate child of a huge conglomerate.

The eye drops that cured Phonia’s eyes in an instant couldn’t have been cheap.

But he didn’t ask the sisters for a single penny in return.

Sophie had promised to repay him, but could she really?

“Haa… What did I say to Gilmon, who’s like that…”

The more she thought about it, the more she kicked the blanket.

She could understand why he was angry with her.

It was entirely her fault.

“… I guess it’s a relief that I didn’t follow the Princess?”

How happy she was to see Gilmon getting along with Phonia when she got home!

She was happy to see him too.

She was also happy that there were no problems between the two.

Sophie blamed herself terribly.

What if Gilmon’s heart left even Phonia because of her?

She hurried back to her room so as not to ruin his mood.

There was no point in talking to him for no reason.

She must have tossed and turned for a long time after returning to her room before falling asleep.

And, she opened her eyelids and it was morning.

She had to get up, but she didn’t have the confidence to see Gilmon.

Wasn’t her very existence a nuisance to him?

Should she just run away?

In the first place, this place was a space for the two of them.

Sophie didn’t laze around in bed for more than a few days a year.

Still, because of her old habits, she got out of bed for now.

Her long arms and legs stretched as she stretched.

Her lean abdomen was visible, and her underboob was briefly visible as her tank top lifted.

It was a routine she did every morning.

A light warmth circulated throughout her body.

Bzzzt.

She checked her phone.

[Siri: Sophie, would it be okay if I visited your house?]

Siri: Like I said last time… I’d like to see Sophie and Phonia…]

[Siri: I’d also like to formally apologize to Gilmon.]

[Siri: I think I misunderstood too much when you trusted me…]

“Ah…”

Sophie remembered the conversation she had yesterday, returning from Sierra’s huge mansion.

The road back after being abandoned by Gilmon was very miserable.

After he left in the Princess’s limousine.

Sophie was banging her head on the steering wheel when she received a call from Siri.

‘I knew it… Gilmon didn’t do anything wrong.’

The two were silent for a long time.

Sophie didn’t have the energy to say anything either.

Siri broke the silence.

‘I’m on vacation tomorrow. Would it be okay if I came to visit?’

And so on.

So, Sophie decided to invite her to her house.

***

Siri had been good to Phonia, so she liked her.

Now that it was crystal clear that Sierra had approached Phonia with a purpose.

Wouldn’t Phonia be very depressed even if she didn’t show it?
