Chapter 579 Aftermath
"Hahh… I never thought I would lose my virginity with the woman I\'ve always loved…" Mark sighed with a cute smile, cuddling with me in bed.
"Always?" I wondered, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Well, you started working with us like five years ago, right? All those years, I always had eyes for only you…" Mark smiled. "Since the moment I saw you, I was just… captivated. You stole my heart."
"T-That fast?! Geez, it makes me feel like it was love at first sight…" I felt a bit worried with myself.
"Hahaha, well, maybe. But it wasn\'t so fast… It took… maybe three months? You were already winning me over with looks alone, yet your gentle nature and caring personality completely conquered me." Mark said proudly. "There aren\'t many girls as gentle and nice as you."
I feel like he had a bit of a bad experience with girls when he was younger… Poor thing.
"Did you not fell for another girl or something?" I wondered. "A-Ah, maybe this is weird to ask after sex?"
"Nah, it doesn\'t really matter." Mark shrugged. "I… well, there was a girl… Someone my parents wanted me to marry with. My childhood friend, Elizabeth."
"M-Marry with her?!" I panicked.
Wait, Mark has that kind of family?! Not even Elisa\'s family has forced her to marry someone in the future though! Is he secretly rich?
"It is an old tradition from my family… Err, well, how do I say this? My father\'s an Amish." Sighed Mark, feeling cringe.
"A-Amish?!" I was left speechless.
"My mother isn\'t. They got along quite well until… well, they couldn\'t anymore. They divorced later, and because I got along with my Amish family for a while in my childhood, he tried to pair me up with Elizabeth, who was also from the same background… Ugh, it is really weird, right? Sorry…" Mark sighed.
"N-No, it\'s fine, it is just really surprising!" I was shocked. "But well, you don\'t have anything to do with them anymore, so don\'t worry. You\'re an adult, so they can\'t dictate what you must do or not… Though, what has it been of Elizabeth lately?"
"She also stopped involving herself with her family once she became an adult but keeps contact with me. She sends me messages almost daily- Guh?!" Mark quickly realized I began exuding a rather malign aura.
"I see…" I nodded. "I hope she\'s… well behaved." I smiled.
"T-There\'s nothing between the two of us! Don\'t worry…" He sighed.
"Of course, I trust you dear." I smiled. "Though, I wish I could had learned from her earlier…"
"I\'m sorry…" Mark sighed. "She\'s not really that important to me anymore, we\'ve not meet in person in years too, so I kind of don\'t care. I just text her back a "hi" or "how are you?" and nothing much. H-Here, look!" He gave me his own phone and began moving his finger as he allowed me to read through all messages!
Wow, he was really being honest! He hadn\'t flirted with her at all. In fact, she was the annoying one, constantly insisting to ask him where he was living and where he was working… Is that girl really still going for him? Geez…
"I can block her if you want-"
"Eh?! No! Don\'t go that far…" I sighed. "Calm down. It\'s alright. I don\'t really mind her anyways. I know you\'re being honest. Though, I never thought you were really a virgin… You never had a girlfriend that wanted to… do it with you?"
"I… never had one to begin with…" He sighed. "I was quite unpopular at school… Nobody ever gave a damn about me… It was only when I meet you that for the first time I was given attention."
"E-Eh? So awful… Did you go to a dangerous school?" I wondered, feeling too surprised.
"A-Ahahaha, nothing like that, it was a rather fine school, I wasn\'t bullied or anything." Mark smiled. "Anyways, let\'s take a bath together to unwind. Wanna order food later?"
"Sure!" I nodded.
After taking a warm bath together, we calmed down a bit and had a nice and relaxing dinner. Mark decided to order food because he didn\'t wanted us to cook, we ended ordering Chinese food, and it was pretty tasty.
We felt really exhausted after doing all of that lovey-dovey stuff, so we decided to just rest over the bed and log-in to BNLO, rather late, but we made it.
Once we reappeared where we were left before, we walked across the Dwarven City and reached the Alchemist\'s Atelier, where Acorn and Nieve were, Rita, Jenny, and Lily were there too, drinking tea and having sweet snacks while waiting for us.
"Ah! Finally, you guys are back!" Rita sighed. "Why are you so damn late?!"
"Without you we can\'t possibly hope to defeat the dragons…" Lily sighed.
"Were you doing boyfriend and girlfriend stuff?" Jenny asked teasingly.
Naturally, we felt embarrassed the moment she said that, and Rita quickly assumed what happened with almost 100% accuracy.
"N-No way! You actually did it?! That explains why you took so long to log-in back!" Rita was amazed. "Nice! You finally got laid Elayne! How was it? Was he good at it?"
"R-Rita don\'t ask such embarrassing things, geez!" I covered my face in embarrassment.
"Oh my, that must have been lovely, you two love each other very much." Lily smiled. "I had just a small date with a young man from the gym just now, he was really nice as well! I feel refreshed after doing it."
"E-Eh?! You also did it, Lily?!" Rita was surprised. "Not fair! You\'ve got so many hot young studs to go to bed with! And I\'m stuck with my husband…"
"Rita, you shouldn\'t be saying things like that…" I sighed. "And Lily, I\'m happy for you too."
"Hehehe, tomorrow I\'ll be meeting another one~" Lily smiled carefreely and cutely, despite implying she\'ll be having sex with different men almost every day… Well, her life is hers, and I\'m happy she\'s catching up with it.
"What are they even talking about?" Acorn was completely confused.
eαglesnᴏνel "I-It is better to not… elaborate for now." Nieve was blushing a bit.
