Having said that, it’s different if they were much more special than me, myself. It was unconditionally necessary for him to make sure that he was the absolute right person—especially by gender. Raven then listened attentively to Molitia.
“You’re a family of mine. How can I argue about our unreserved friendship?”
“That’s right.”
Raven immediately hid his smile that was creeping around his mouth. In other words, she just declared that she had no other special relationship apart from what she had with himself. Raven then immediately shrugged his shoulders before leaning on his back.
As the warm air flowed continuously, the scent of flowers began to tickle the tip of Molitia’s nose.
“Achoo!”
A small sneeze rang in an instant within that narrow carriage. Molitia lightly grazed the tip of her nose. The pollen, which wafted in the air, seemed to have tickled her nose.
“Did you just catch a cold?”
“No, it’s just…”
Molitia couldn’t even finish talking when a coat was draped over her body. His thick coat—unbeknown to her when did he take it off—was already covering her shoulders.
“I never thought you’d catch a cold. Is it really a cold?
Badump. Rather, it was actually warm enough for her to even be a little hot. Despite Molitia’s earnest expression, Raven still couldn’t let go of his worries that easily.
“No. Quickly, head back to the mansion as soon as we can……”
“Raven, I’m fine—really. It was just a mere sneeze. I don’t have a fever and I don’t feel chilly at all.”
Molitia immediately stopped him, who was genuinely trying to exit through the door of the running carriage. His hands that were holding onto the door had fallen due to her words, yet his anxious gaze still hadn’t disappeared at all.
“But, your face is too red for you to say that.”
“That’s because it’s quite warm in here.”
“The tip of your nose is red as well.”
“It’s just the same.”
“Still…”
If she had just left it like this, many more reasons would be thrown in endlessly. Molitia soon reached out and held onto Raven’s hand. The soft touch of her hand had his fingertips twitched unknowingly.
“It really is okay. To be honest, I might be a little tired, but it’s definitely not a cold.”
“I’ll be worried if you catch another cold.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t get sick anymore.”
“You did say you were a little tired before?”
He was still worried and panicked when Molitia astutely pointed out, which had made her avoid his eyes in a hurry. As soon as he saw that Molitia was shying her face from him, his expression slightly stiffened in response.
As expected, this weather was too dangerous for her. A tender woman like her, who was vulnerable towards the chilly wind had made him want to keep her in his arms, at least until there was a gust of the warm spring breeze.
“Molitia.”
Her shoulders immediately flinched at his call. Her hand that was covering the back of his hand was already under his tight grasp.
“I told you—time and again—not to overdo it.”
“It’s not too much, though.”
It had only been a few hours. It might have been a big leap for her, but it was just another scheduled routine for the other ladies.
His hand that was placed on top of hers then probed into the coat that he had her covered with. Then, his fingers gently swept through her neck.
“Really?”
His fingers then scraped against her collarbone. Her attractive chest had caught his attention, which made his fingers edge along past her breastbone.
“Because then, you won’t be able to make some time for me.”
“Some time with you?”
“Yes, our couple time.”
He mischievously raised the corners of his mouth while lowering his hand over her clothes. His fingertips then slowly touched her chest that was completely armed with her underwear.
Molitia’s breath immediately ceased, albeit briefly. He secretly teased her breast with his hand that could feel nothing but the smooth texture of silk. His fingers then wandered slowly over her clothes while nipping and twirling around her areola.
“But we’re in a carriage.”
“There’s no such reason where a couple wasn’t permitted to take their own time in a carriage.”
“What?”
Molitia blushed at those embarrassing words of his.
