Chapter 171: You’ll Be the Death of Me
“You’re the salty mustard greens, I’m the bull’s pizzle~”
Humming a nonsensical tune, Lena walked along the forest path in the early morning sun.
Since their confession, her relationship with Angel had become increasingly harmonious. Now, just a glance was enough for Angel to understand, expertly turning off the lights, getting into bed, and undressing Lena.
So, had she successfully tamed Angel?
Lena often pondered this while holding her naked wife.
Not entirely…
More accurately, she had been purified by Angel.
After all, the devil had abandoned her desire for revenge, her target now her wife, the instigator of this transformation lying beside her every night, their lovemaking passionate and tender…
“Well, besides that damned, unpredictable fate, the only thing I have to worry about is the hero.”
Lena looked at the plains, now covered in greenery.
The saplings, cultivated by Ka Ka, had been planted as a test, and if all went well, the entire forest would be restored by the end of the year.
The cost was substantial, but the Falmouths’ finances were sufficient, not to mention Angel’s fundraising efforts.
Heh, thinking of Angel, Lena couldn’t help but smile.
Lately, she couldn’t stop smiling, regardless of the time or place.
She had even asked Agnes about it, and what had Agnes said?
It was a normal symptom of being in love.
Wanting to be together every moment, wanting the whole world to know their love.
Holding hands, stroking each other’s hair, gentle embraces… small, sweet gestures filled with affection, they were like two pieces of candy, inseparable.
Even now, Lena was thinking about Angel, imagining what she was doing, planning their next encounter.
Perhaps this was the love she had never experienced in her past life.
And it seemed like these days would continue for a long time…
Lena smiled, shaking her head, and turned back.
She walked along the grassy path.
The sky was clear, the clouds white and fluffy, a gentle breeze carrying a sweet fragrance.
Lena reached out, touching the sky, feeling the wind against her skin…
The weather was turning colder, she needed warmer clothes.
Autumn in Almeria was short, lasting only a few weeks, barely noticeable before the arrival of winter.
And with the changing seasons came a new problem.
How should she deal with the hero’s arrival?
Or rather, the arrival of Snow, the hero, should she resist, or accept her fate…?
Lena returned to the mansion with this worry on her mind.
In the bright, spacious hallway, Angel was styling her light pink hair in front of a mirror, her lemon-yellow sweater and black velvet stockings immediately attracting Lena’s attention.
She quietly approached, her hand reaching under Angel’s skirt, grabbing her smooth, stocking-clad thigh.
“Ahh!” Angel clutched her skirt, her face flushed. “What are you doing?!”
“Y-you… you’re not wearing…”
Lena’s hand froze, her fingers still, her expression stunned.
There was no mistaking it, Angel wasn’t wearing any panties!
Seriously, wearing just stockings and a skirt, flaunting herself in the hallway, who was she trying to seduce?!
“Whose fault is that? If you weren’t always kissing me, I wouldn’t have to abandon them,” Angel said, her initial annoyance replaced by a loving gaze.
Lena’s touch had aroused her.
Although embarrassing to admit, she wanted Lena.
“Lena…”
“What?!”
Now it was Lena’s turn to be indignant.
She couldn’t tolerate Angel’s seductive behavior, this was against the rules!
How could she resist?!
“I bought a beautiful new set of lingerie, do you want to see?” Angel’s breath was warm against Lena’s ear as she nibbled on her chin.
Lena, flustered by Angel’s boldness, pushed her away slightly. “We have important matters to attend to, be serious, daytime isn’t suitable for this.”
“After we finish our business, we can attend to your business,” Angel wouldn’t let Lena escape.
She grabbed Lena’s hand, pulling her against the wall.
Angel’s smooth, white legs tangled with Lena’s, a truly inviting sight.
Lena was now Angel’s prisoner, trapped and at her mercy.
“I really do have something important to do…” she said, exasperated.
“Is it urgent?”
“Not really…”
Lena, seeing Angel’s expression, quickly changed her answer. “Yes! Very urgent! It’s a matter of life and death!!”
“Then why did you come back so leisurely, even having time to play with Mines in her room?”
Angel’s tone was accusatory, her bright smile hiding a dangerous desire.
Lena had a feeling she would be walking out with a sore back if she agreed.
She didn’t want that!
“If it’s really that urgent, I’ll accompany you, and after you’re finished…” Angel’s expression softened, her voice filled with longing. “I don’t want to leave your side, let me be with you, okay?”
“Then… then fine…”
Lena reluctantly agreed.
But she really didn’t want to do it today!!
…
In the study, Lena stared at the report, sighing softly.
Mines knocked and entered, placing the report on the table, along with a resignation letter and a leather-bound contract.
The contract’s contents and her intentions were clear.
Mines was terminating her employment, officially leaving.
“Have you made up your mind?”
Lena frowned, tossing the contract aside, her eyes narrowed.
“Yes, Master.”
Mines pointed at the contract, signing her name and handing the quill to Lena. “I have something I must do, please grant me your permission.”
“Can I ask what it is? Perhaps I can help.”
Lena’s hand trembled as she held the quill, she didn’t want Mines to leave, they had shared so much, and now, suddenly, she had to let her go, who could bear such a loss?
“You can’t help me, Master…”
“Tell me what’s so important that you have to leave, haven’t I been good to you?!” Lena’s voice was filled with anxiety.
Even though they had agreed to part ways amicably, she now regretted it.
“All good things must come to an end, Master. We’ll meet again someday, don’t dwell on the past, it will only hold you back.”
“Is it because of the hero?”
