When Cassius turned to look at Wanda, he saw that the smile on her face had frozen. Although he hadn't done anything yet, he had been caught red-handed!
Wanda's expression clearly showed that she knew there was someone upstairs, and it was a girl's voice. He really hadn't expected Gwen to call out to him at the worst possible moment. He had planned to come up with an excuse to get rid of Wanda, but now it was obviously impossible.
Kkkk...
Wanda's smile had turned into a look of anger. He could even hear her teeth grinding. She also noticed that Cassius's clothes were completely wet, and that sentence clearly meant someone was taking a shower. She couldn't help but think of how Cassius liked to be in the bathroom with her. Was he with someone else in there...?
"My dear Cassius, it seems there's a girl calling for you upstairs." Wanda took a deep breath and tried to sound calm as she looked into Cassius's eyes. But looking at the open bag in her hand, it was clear that the clothes were probably not for her.
Cassius had no idea when she would come over, and she had come tonight because she missed him. But she never expected to run into this.
A mix of emotions, sadness, anger, and unwillingness, churned inside her. Her chaotic mind didn't know what to do. She even wondered if she had misheard.
"Really?" Cassius said with a stiff expression. "It must be the maid."
At that moment, he felt like his brain was turning to mush. It wasn't that he wasn't quick enough to react, but these two women gave him a completely different feeling than the other women he had been with.
Before he met Wanda, he had been in similar situations countless times, but he never felt anything. He never expected to be so flustered this time.
"Cassius, you gave the maid the night off, and there are no maids here at night." Wanda's body trembled slightly. Her eyes were filled with pain and were slightly red.
She had already guessed the truth, but she just didn't want to admit it. She wished that Cassius could give her an excuse to believe. But the excuse was too poor; she couldn't even lie to herself. She felt a sharp pain in her heart. She had fallen in love with him, but this had happened.
"Wanda..." Cassius held her hand, wanting to say something. But Wanda shook him off. She grabbed the bag of clothes and walked quickly upstairs.
Since she couldn't lie to herself, she had to see for herself. She didn't even know what she should do. All she could think was, Who is it? Who could be better than me?
"Little Witch, there's no need to rush..." Cassius gritted his teeth, forced a smile, and quickly followed her. He could feel that Wanda's emotions were like a powder keg right now. He wasn't sure if Wanda would tear Gwen apart the moment she saw her.
He knew how much power Wanda could unleash when she was angry. Although nothing had happened yet, Gwen was indeed in the bathroom upstairs taking a shower. Nothing had started, but if they met, he wouldn't be able to explain anything.
"Don't stop me! I want to go up there!" The faster Wanda walked, the more her heart ached. Her voice became hoarse and choked with emotion. She was afraid she would burst into tears.
This was the first time... the first time she had ever loved someone so much. It hadn't been long, but it was from the bottom of her heart.
Soon, she arrived at the door. A familiar scent wafted through her nose. It was the same perfume she had smelled when she had dinner with Cassius. She stopped, hesitating outside the door. It was as if the room was a different world, and once she opened the door, her whole world would be turned upside down.
"Wanda, listen to me." Cassius stood behind her, his eyes filled with a complicated expression. He didn't want this either, but he was big, and one or two people couldn't handle him. He had planned to let Wanda get used to it slowly, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.
He, who was usually so clever, was completely helpless. But even so, he didn't stop Wanda from opening the door. He just let out a helpless sigh.
A moment later, Wanda seemed to have braced herself. She stretched out her fair hand and grabbed the oak doorknob. She twisted it hard, gritted her teeth, and pulled...
As the door opened, everything in the room came into view. The classical room was neat and tidy, and there was no one inside. The blankets were neatly placed on the bed. Everything inside was so familiar and so normal.
Cassius looked at the tidy room, and the weight in his heart finally eased a little. Fortunately, Gwen hadn't left her clothes lying around, or the consequences would have been much worse.
However, the light in the bathroom was still on. Wanda's eyes drooped, and her gaze became dim. She felt as if she had been hit hard in the heart. She stared blankly at the slightly transparent frosted glass of the bathroom door.
A person was clearly taking a shower inside, as the door was covered in mist. Her lips, which were usually coated with lipstick, turned pale.
"The... the mist in the bathroom..." After a long time, Wanda squeezed out these few words in a faint voice. It was as if she had used all her strength to say those words.
This feeling made her not know where to go. It even became difficult to breathe. The suffocating feeling made Wanda instinctively take a deep breath. From the gradually bloodshot eyes, it was clear that her heart was far from as calm as she had imagined.
"Well..." Cassius held her cold hand, his eyes fixed on hers. But Wanda didn't meet his gaze. She slowly placed the bag in her hand on the floor outside the door. She turned and walked away, her steps becoming more and more hurried.
Yes, who am I? Just because we spent a night together, does that mean we're together?
She and Cassius hadn't even confirmed their relationship.
Girlfriend?
He had never called her that.
The relationship between them was probably the most shameful one.
Although she was unwilling, what could she do? She was the one who was proactive.
Maybe Cassius already had a girlfriend, and she was the third party. It was just her being too conceited. What did she even count for?
Although their minds were connected, she still couldn't accept this. Who Cassius was with had nothing to do with her. It was his freedom.
"Wanda!" Just then, a warm embrace wrapped around Wanda from behind. This warmth and scent from behind were so comforting to Wanda. But she was still in so much pain; an embrace was not enough to solve this.
"You... I know." Wanda shook her head, her voice hoarse. She really didn't want to cry, and she didn't want to show her most vulnerable side. But she had to admit, when Cassius hugged her, she hesitated. Because if she really left, it would be over. But could she really accept that?
"What are you doing?!" Just as Wanda was deep in thought, she suddenly felt Cassius pick her up.
"Since my little witch is so impatient, let's go!" Cassius carried Wanda like a princess and turned to walk toward the bathroom.
"You... you're not thinking of?!" Wanda's mind instantly froze. There was only one thought left in her head. Was Cassius planning to bring all three of them together?! But if that were the case, that would be...
While she was in a daze, Cassius opened the bathroom door. The mist instantly rushed out, making Wanda nervously close her eyes. Cassius was too bold, bringing her straight into the bathroom.
But... maybe this is a good thing? If there were three of them, with one more person, maybe it would reduce the workload.
"My little witch, don't you want to do it together?" Cassius leaned close to Wanda's ear, burying his face in her hair and whispering, "Why aren't you opening your eyes?"
"Then..." The tickling sensation on her ear made Wanda's neck retract slightly. She took a deep breath, and her eyelashes trembled as she opened her eyes. She had already prepared herself for the worst; maybe she would see a very inappropriate scene.
But when she opened her eyes, she was stunned. Because there was no one in the bathroom besides the misty steam.
No one?! She froze. How could there be no one?! This was completely different from what she had imagined. According to her logic, shouldn't there be another sister in there?
"My lovely little witch, why were you so nervous?" Cassius leaned closer to Wanda and whispered, "I came back from the rain and was about to take a shower when you arrived. I had to rush to open the door for you."
"..." When Wanda heard this, the weight in her heart finally lifted. A hint of sorrow appeared in her eyes. It was clear that he cared about her so much. Although they had no real relationship, Cassius still rushed to open the door for her. But because of this, she had wanted to turn around and leave.
"Since you want to do it so much, let's do it together!"
...
...
A long time later...
Cassius carried the limp Wanda out and gently put her down.
"Little witch, you need to exercise more. You're still too weak." Cassius lightly kissed Wanda's forehead and smiled as he looked at her.
Wanda, facing Cassius's aggressive gaze, quickly curled up to cover herself. Although her hands were already in the right place, this only made her look more alluring, making Cassius's eyes even hotter.
"Who said I'm weak! I exercise regularly," Wanda said, annoyed. Then she added, "It's clearly your problem!"
Every time, she felt like her body no longer belonged to her, and her head was like mush. It was like being in the ocean, where she could only rise and fall with the waves, unable to resist at all.
"But you were the one who said you wanted the waves to get more intense, and you even wanted to use your magic!" Cassius leaned close to Wanda, his eyes fixed on hers.
At that moment, the emotions in his eyes were transmitted to Wanda. She clearly felt the emotion, and her body couldn't help but tremble in fear. This feeling was too terrifying. It made her feel like she was no longer herself.
"Shut up, don't say another word!" Although the air conditioning was on in the room, this conversation made Wanda feel hot all over. It was like she had a fever of 40 degrees, and she felt a little delirious. And she had clearly said, Don't continue, stop! How did he get it so wrong?! He was just talking nonsense!
"Get some rest here. I'll get you some soup to nourish your body." After Cassius propped Wanda up, he didn't forget to cover her with a blanket.
"Okay." Wanda also felt tired. She leaned on the pillow and closed her eyes.
Cassius cautiously walked out of the room. He finally felt at ease. To cover up what had happened, he even used the power of the Ox Talisman. Only when a person was tired enough would they not have the energy to think about other things. And from the current situation, it wouldn't be long before Wanda fell into a deep sleep.
How did he know that? It was common sense!
"It's time to check on the other side." Cassius sighed and drew a circle in the air. A flowing, inter-dimensional portal instantly appeared in front of him. Inside was another room. From the furnishings, it was about the same size as the previous room. But there were no personal items inside.
When Cassius stepped through the inter-dimensional portal, he saw Gwen lying on the bed, wrapped tightly in a blanket. Her little head was peeking out, watching the 85-inch TV screen.
"How did I get here just now?" After Gwen finished her shower and was still waiting for her clothes, a strange glowing door appeared. As soon as she put on her suit to see what was going on, the door closed. But when she saw her surroundings, she realized she was still in Cassius's house.
"Uh, there was a guest at home just now, so I moved you to a better environment." Cassius explained, his face not turning red and his heart not beating faster. A veteran of romance would not be troubled by such a thing.
Just now, he had suddenly thought of what to do and had teleported Gwen to the guest room downstairs.
"Oh, I knew I kept hearing thumping sounds upstairs." Gwen didn't think much of it. It was normal for someone like Cassius to be busy with work at night.
"Ahem..." Cassius coughed twice, his expression a little strange.
"Um... are there any clothes?" Gwen threw off the blanket, revealing her milky white shoulders. She had been waiting for the clothes, so she had just taken another shower and was hiding in bed.
"I'll get them for you." Cassius opened an inter-dimensional portal and got the clothes from a clothing store. After all, he didn't have time to go shopping now.
"Thank you." Gwen glanced at the clothes, a little surprised, because they were her size. But seeing that Cassius was still standing there, she said with a red face, "Can you turn around?"
"Okay." Cassius obediently turned around. But at that moment, his gaze was drawn to a stainless steel ornament on a nearby wall. He could clearly see what was happening behind him. He could even see everything clearly.
'I have to give Imelda a raise!' Cassius thought to himself. It was polished so brightly! Gwen didn't notice these small details.
"Thank you, the clothes fit perfectly." Gwen was delighted. The clothes fit her style perfectly. Since the size was also right, she knew Cassius had put thought into it.
Meanwhile, upstairs...
Wanda was getting sleepy from waiting.
"Cassius?" She called out, but there was no response. She hesitated for a moment and then, wrapped in a towel, walked out. But as soon as she opened the door, she felt a magical fluctuation in the air. The Chaos Magic in her body responded.
"A magical fluctuation?" She was surprised and touched the air.
Buzz!
The air vibrated. Someone had cast some kind of magic here!
