…???
Hearing Alyssa's words, Caelan froze on the spot, completely stunned.
Wait—are you kidding me?
When did I ever pursue you? Don't mess with me, okay? With a face that looks so much like my lazy cousin's, I'm not interested at all!
Caelan coughed heavily, forcing a serious expression onto his face.
"Um… I think you've misunderstood."
"The reason I wanted to protect you was simply because you look a lot like my cousin…"
Alyssa blinked, staring at Caelan with a strange expression.
"No way… you actually like your cousin?!"
Clearly, Alyssa was shocked—because that kind of thing seemed to involve a taboo that normal people simply couldn't comprehend.
Meanwhile, Caelan felt his fist tighten.
What the hell is wrong with this woman?
Is Alyssa's brain… a little broken?
He immediately explained, "Don't overthink it. I'm just telling you—you misunderstood. I don't feel anything for you."
