Chapter 318 – Relationships Change
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The surprised expression on Emilia's face soon turned into a blooming smile. "You want to take responsibility for me?"
Noelle nodded furiously. "Of course, I'm not the type to eat and run!"
Emilia bit her lip as she tried her best not to laugh at the gray-haired girl's serious expression. "Well, no need to talk to my parents, or anyone else. I'm responsible for myself, and if you wish to marry me…"
The crimson-haired girl leaned forward to press a soft kiss on Noelle's lips before smiling. "We can always do it later. As for a wedding gift, hm, I already have something in mind."
Emilia frowned as she suddenly had another thought. "But if I'm going to marry, it won't be right to leave Crystal, Dixie, and Sam out of it… Would you mind a big grand wedding? Or should we do them all separately?"
Noelle's ecstatic expression immediately froze. "What does that mean?"
Emilia tilted her head in confusion. "What do you mean?"
The gray-haired girl took a deep breath before letting it out to calm herself down. "I think there's been a little misunderstanding. Emilia… do you understand what marriage is?"
Emilia nodded. "The meaning depends on the people themselves, but for me, it can be considered a celebration of love."
Noelle opened and closed her mouth a few times before nodding. "W-Well… I guess that works. Anyway, only two people can marry each other! TWO! Not twenty! Understand?"
The crimson-haired girl didn't seem to take her words seriously at all as she flicked her hair haughtily. "Says who?"
Noelle couldn't help but groan. "The law, Emilia! It's against the law!"
Emilia frowned. "Don't worry about those little things, I'll take care of it when the time comes, one way or the other."
She should have known this girl had a 'special' brain when she let that older sister of hers put hickeys all over her body!
No, not to mention Sam, the biggest problem was what happened between the two of them, instead.
Noelle just realized that not only had Emilia given up her virginity on their first date, but she had also agreed to get married!
The gray-haired girl felt like she was going to have a seizure at this rate, but she somehow managed to hold it in. "Little boss, Emilia, can you think like a normal human being for one second and try to see where I'm coming from? I really don't want to throw you on the backseat and teach you a lesson, you know?"
Emilia furrowed her brows, as if deep in thought, and Noelle felt her heart skip a beat.
Was this girl… seriously trying to 'think like a normal human being'? How could someone be so incredibly adorable and infuriatingly annoying at the same time?!
Unfortunately, Emilia's 'attempt' seemed to have failed, if her frustrated pout was any indication. "I-I don't understand what you want. Just tell me in simple words, and I'll try my best to make you happy!"
Before Noelle could speak, however, Emilia frowned. "A-Also! You can't ask for anything that will make my other friends sad!"
Noelle's face turned blank as she stared at the crimson-haired beauty for almost a minute before she reached out to pinch both her cheeks. "You little brat of a boss, do you think this world is your personal fantasy land? You still haven't learned what can and cannot be done? Are you not scared that I'll take you away and lock you up in some basement?"
Emilia felt like she hadn't explained herself properly to Noelle, so she obediently let the older girl knead her cheeks as she pleased. Anyway, although it hurt a little, it could also be considered as making up.
Only after Noelle felt like the soft little cheeks had suffered enough did she let go and allow Emilia to speak.
Emilia grinned, though the deep red marks on her cheeks made her look more funny than beautiful. "I know you wouldn't do that. If you were that type of person… I would never have sought you out, right?"
Noelle could only sigh in her heart. "I should have known that the world is fair."
Emilia blinked in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Of course, Noelle couldn't just say her thoughts out loud. If Emilia knew that she was lamenting about the fact that the poor girl had lost her brain cells in exchange for her beauty, she would definitely throw a tantrum.
Although it would undoubtedly be cute, Noelle felt like she had enough of a headache as it was, and she still had to drive!
Seeing how the gray-haired girl started the car without explaining anything to her, Emilia could only sulk in her seat with a pout. "How come you start talking so cryptically now? I remember you always used to be so clear and concise with your words!"
Noelle sneered as she kept her eyes on the road, suddenly feeling like taking some 'revenge' on the girl. "Do you think I've changed?"
Emilia quickly shook her head in denial. "No, how could that be? It's just the way you treat me has changed a little, right? Of course, it makes sense, since our relationship has changed…"
Looking at her confused appearance from the corner of her eye, Noelle couldn't help but smile. "So you don't have any problem with it, right?"
Emilia frowned as she seemed to hesitate. "I-I won't control how you behave too much, but if I don't understand something, make sure you say it clearly, okay?"
Noelle couldn't help be feel a little touched in her heart, but the feeling only made her want to tease the crimson-haired beauty more. "Want to know why I've changed?"
Emilia blinked. "Mhm?"
The gray-haired girl smiled, knowing that the little beauty didn't suspect her words at all. "It's because… now that I've already fucked you, I can no longer see you as a 'superior', and it's impossible for us to keep the work dynamic like before. Understand?"
