Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

hapter 386 The girl looked so sad and melancholic , like the poster child for a lonely latchkey kid . I jumped off the couch in shock . " Oh my god , who ?! " "Don't you recognize me , mister ? " She smiled sweetly and leaned closer , her expression bright and familiar . I studied her face . Slowly , my brain connected the dots between this young woman and the Goth Girl from last night . " It's you ! Goth Girl ! " She nodded and suddenly threw her arms around me . " Thank you for saving me last night , mister ! If it weren't for you , I don't know what would've happened !

And you even stayed here , just in case to protect me ! " It took her sitting on my lap with her arms wrapped around me , uninvited , for me to truly accept that this innocent - looking woman was indeed Goth Girl . How could someone change their entire appearance so easily ? " Well , you're still pretty friendly even after sobering up , " I muttered awkwardly , setting her down and stepping back . She frowned .

It's a little jarring , that's all . " She relaxed , her smile returning . " Aww , that's fine . If you liked my gothic look better , I can always put it on again for you !

Now that you're awake , we should just go our separate ways .

" There was no denying that she was pretty , but she was far too young for me to feel comfortable . Her eyes glistened red , on the verge of tears . " So that's it , mister ? You don't want me anymore now that it's morning ? " " Wait , what ? Why are you making it sound like something happened between us ? I didn't even sleep in the same bed! I swear , I didn't touch you . Nothing happened , " I said quickly . She shook her head , her voice trembling . " No ! I don't believe you ! They spiked my drink with something strong , I could barely move last night .

How could you not have taken advantage of me ? " " Because you're too young , " I said firmly . " I couldn't , in good conscience , do something like that . I may be a man , but I have boundaries . I didn't touch you . Not once . " Something shifted in her eyes . It was a spark of realization , followed by 1/2 Chapter +25 Bonus ' So that's why , ' she thought . ' It's not that he doesn't like me ... He's just being honorable . What a true gentleman . I can't let someone like that get away !! Determination flickered in her gaze , then turned sly .
