Eros walked up to Ayesha, extending his hand to stroke her head as he said in a gentle voice:
"Accompany me for a walk?"
"Mm!" Ayesha nodded her small head firmly.
Seeing her nod, Eros reached out and took hold of Ayesha's small hand.
When her hand was touched, Ayesha instinctively shrank back slightly, but ultimately did not refuse to let Eros hold it.
"Your hand is so small!" Eros looked sideways at Ayesha beside him, his eyes filled with smiles as he spoke.
A trace of shyness flashed across Ayesha's pretty face, and she softly refuted with some embarrassment:
"It's because your hand is too big!"
Listening to her refutation that was as quiet as a mosquito's buzz, Eros smiled warmly without speaking further. Instead, he pulled Ayesha along toward the steps of the clock tower.
Ayesha did not resist, obediently following beside Eros as he led her along.
After ascending all the way to the top floor of the clock tower, Eros pulled Ayesha down to sit at the edge of the clock tower platform.
Glancing around at the night view of Intil, Eros turned his head to look at the dainty girl beside him:
"I thought you would still come disguised as a man today!"
Hearing this question, Ayesha muttered in a low voice:
"Since you've already seen through it anyway, what's the point of disguising myself again?"
Eros let out an amused laugh: "Does your mother know you're this cute?"
"Wh... What?" Ayesha was stunned at first. Once she realized what Eros was saying, her face instantly flushed bright red.
"Stop saying these strange things!" Ayesha said in a shy, embarrassed tone.
Eros smiled without saying a word, propping his hands behind him as he looked up at the silver moon in the sky. The expression on his face gradually smoothed out, and only after a long moment did he speak softly:
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I have to break my word!"
Ayesha knew what Eros was referring to, but she could not reveal that she knew. Thus, she put on a puzzled expression and said:
"What do you mean by that?"
Eros let out a soft sigh, turning his head to look at Ayesha with a tone filled with apology:
This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.
"Didn't I promise you before that as long as you went on a date with me, I would give you that Full Moon Bracelet?"
Ayesha nodded, blinking her gem-like green eyes as she softly responded: "Mm!"
"I might be unable to fulfill that promise, because that Full Moon Bracelet was stolen by a Night remnant."
As if fearing the girl before him wouldn't believe him, Eros hurriedly added:
"I'm not lying. I've already reported this matter to the Church. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Church to ask."
"I really am not lying to deceive you just to keep that Full Moon Bracelet."
Ayesha gave a soft "mm" and said in a gentle, soft voice:
"I believe you!"
After saying this, Ayesha added softly in her heart: Because that Night remnant handed the Full Moon Bracelet over to Mom.
Seeing that Ayesha was willing to believe him, Eros let out a long sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
"It's so wonderful that you're willing to believe me. To be honest, to this day I still don't know why those Night remnants wanted to steal my Full Moon Bracelet."
Hearing this, Ayesha turned her face to one side in embarrassment.
Why else! Because she had taken a few extra looks at that Full Moon Bracelet.
Of course, these details could certainly not be told to Eros.
Suppressing the embarrassment in her heart, Ayesha whispered in a soft voice:
"It doesn't matter, I don't like that bracelet now anyway!"
Eros let out a bitter smile: "You must be saying that just to comfort me, right?"
At this point, Eros paused, reaching into his clothes to pull out an exquisite box, opening it before Ayesha.
Inside the box lay a beautifully crafted gemstone necklace. Ayesha's eyes were practically glued to it after just one glance.
Looking at the gift box in his hands, Eros spoke with some apology:
"Because I couldn't keep my promise to give you the Full Moon Bracelet, I prepared a new accessory for you. I just don't know if you'll like it."
Ayesha's beautiful eyes shone brightly as she looked at the gemstone necklace inside the gift box. Only after a long while did she with difficulty avert her gaze to refuse:
"This must be very expensive, I can't take it!"
Eros directly grabbed Ayesha's small hand, placing the gift box into it as he said softly:
"This is the only way for me to make up for the guilt in my heart, please accept it!"
Ayesha hesitated for quite a while, but ultimately chose to accept it, because this necklace was truly so beautiful.
Seeing Ayesha accept it, a smile appeared at the corners of Eros's lips. This necklace was actually stolen from Estelle by him.
As one of Estelle's treasured collection pieces, conquering a little girl with it was simply too easy.
As for what to do later when Estelle notices the necklace is missing...
What? I've never seen it! Maybe sister took it. Why would a guy like me take your necklace? Haven't seen it! Haven't seen it!
"Let me help you put it on!" Looking at Ayesha before him, Eros spoke up again.
Ayesha neither agreed nor objected, so Eros took the necklace from the gift box and helped put it on her.
The combination of her delicate, fair collarbones and the exquisite, dazzling necklace left Eros briefly entranced.
Seeing Eros staring at her continuously, Ayesha lowered her head in embarrassment.
After a long moment, Eros snapped back to his senses. Looking at the lovely girl before him, he offered a sincere compliment:
"You are truly beautiful!"
With a swoosh, Ayesha's small face turned completely red, even reaching the tips of her ears.
Looking at Ayesha's bright red, translucent earlobe before him, Eros leaned down and bit it gently.
Ayesha let out a soft whimper, her body instantly turning limp as she slumped powerlessly to one side.
Quick with his hands and eyes, Eros immediately pulled Ayesha into his arms. Ayesha's soft body lay paralyzed in Eros's embrace, unable to muster a bit of strength.
Facing the seductive girl in his arms, how could Eros hold back any longer? He immediately kissed Ayesha's soft, rosy lips.
The moment her lips were claimed, Ayesha's beautiful eyes widened, her entire being freezing in place for several seconds.
