Chapter 460: Chapter 460 – The Morning After With Marika

The Next Morning…

I was standing inside the kitchen, making tea for both of us. Marika was still upstairs, the girl was too tired after what happened last night… hehe.

But don’t blame me though, she was the one who came onto me, I just reciprocated my feelings, now is that a crime?

With my bizarre thoughts in mind, time passed as I threw away another poisonous mistake and begin a new one… this one is bound to be a success, at least a reasonable one.

“Argh…” I hear Marika’s groan and look out to see her carefully walking down through the stairs. Her gait was curved and her legs shaking with each step.

“Morning hot mama, how’s the morning going for you?” I get out and ask with a big smile.

Marika turned to me, her already emotionless eyes becoming strained, “Really? Do I have to utter it out for you?”

“Wouldn’t hurt to.”

“It really would.” Marika said before continuing to come down slowly, “The alcohol’s finally turning up and I would appreciate it if you didn’t talk too much.”

“Oh? I didn’t know that people with hangover would grab their hip instead of the head.”

Marika stopped and turned to me with a silent stare.

“Since your such an expert on the matter, why don’t you shut up and help me.” Her tone did not sound nice.

Regardless, I was still happy after being able to conquer this curvy bombshell again, so I go and pick her up in a princess carry.

“Wh- What are you doing? You could just help me by the shoulder.” Marika’s face turned a tinge red.

“Where is the fun in that?” I squeeze one side of her firm butt, “When I can do so much more.”

“Wasn’t last night enough for you?” Marika’s eyes themselves seem to sigh, “I forget that you’re a young guy. I’ve heard that you guys are always energetic.”

“Bianca?” She nods.

“I need to ask you without you getting angry at me.” I carefully place her down to the chair beside the small circular table, “Is Bianca a cougar?”

“A cougar? You mean the cat?”

“No… in another term, it’s also a type of women that like hunting young guys.”

“…” Marika’s face darkened for a moment before it slowly turned to realization, “Now that you mention it…”

“She is, isn’t she.” I turn around to leave.

Marika nodded with an embarrassed smile, “I didn’t think there was a term like that… wait! Do you think of me like that?!”

I stop just by the kitchen door, “Oh no, your performance last night and the one before clearly proved you aren’t one.”

“…”

“Besides, I know you are too proud a woman to choose just about anyone.” With that I went inside the kitchen to prepare the tea for its final phase.

…

Outside, Marika smiles and leaned back, “Of course I am.” Then she suddenly felt a pang of pain below her stomach, “I should have prepared some kind of medicine if I knew he was going to be that rough.”

It didn’t hurt that much and even if given the chance, Marika would still make the mistake of doing it again for there was not only pleasure but a warmth with Henry.

Suddenly, Alice walked inside the house. Marika looked at the new woman with great assets that fell just a bit from her and almost frowned. Then her brows straightened as she realized, ‘Why am I getting jealous all of a sudden?’

‘It’s not like I own Henry… he can do whatever he wants.’

Marika looked at Alice who was looking around as if searching for someone, ‘Besides it’s not like she’s sleeping with him… he might not even know her.’

Alice’s eyes went to Marika who was also looking at her. She made a move and came in front of her, “Madam, have you seen my master?”

‘Master?… is she a maid?’ Marika briefly glanced at her outfit. It was an expensive yet casual dress that wasn’t meant to attract attention towards her, yet her assets did that none the same.

“He went inside the kitchen.”

Alice’s happy complexion froze, “Ah… I think I will wait outside, kindly tell him about me.”

With that, Alice turned around and left as Marika wondered what that brief pause was about. But the thought went away as Alice stopped midway and came back to her as she placed a small vial on the table.

“It helps alleviate the pain and in time, your body will naturally bear with it.” With that, Alice quickly turned around and left almost in a run.

Marika looked at the door for a second before grabbing the small white vial, “That explains how much he knows her.”

…

Not knowing what happened outside, I come out with two cups in hand, “Here’s the tea for your… headache.”

I sit down as I see a similar vial in Marika’s hand, “What’s that?”

“None of your business.” She hid it faster than any hand trick I ever saw, “Did you seriously went inside to make me tea?”

“Yep”

“You didn’t fall in love with me, did you?”

“You can only dream of that, darling.” I lean ahead and slide back her side hair, “Now onto more important talk, why don’t you move in here?”

Marika who just lifted the cup, froze. She gave a very confused look, “Pardon?”

“I’m sorry, I meant that you should place some of your items here. It would make staying here, even for temporary moments, comfortable.”

Marika smiled, “And you think I would even come again for you to propose that?” She sipped the tea as her motions froze instantly.

I carefully sip my somewhat almost poisonous tea, “If you don’t, how will you ever taste my own handmade tea again?”

“…That is not a good offer.” Marika’s body vibrated as she roughly gulped, “Seriously, what did you put in this? Sigmat Crystals?”

“Yes”

Marika would have laughed, if not for Henry’s very serious expression, “…Really?”

I nod slowly.

“Are you crazy!? You can’t drink sigmat crystals, it’s poisonous!” Marika said while spitting out the remains in her mouth.

“Don’t spit them! It won’t kill you, believe me.”

“Believe ME! It will!”

“Marika” I grab her hand and grasp it meaningfully, “Trust me when I say it is drinkable. I learned of a new method that not only makes it not poisony but also good for your body.”

“…Really?” Marika’s eyes were very suspicious.

“Hey, you had a bit of that action last night, you tell me.”

She groaned before sipping the tea and having a horrified expression, “At the very least… make it drinkable.”

“I’m trying… it took a lot of stages, but for now, I’ve reached the ‘You can drink it but you won’t like it’ stage.”

“Haha, you have to waste a lot of crystals if you want to make it actually drinkable.”

“Not a problem, I have a Crys Cave for that.”

“…You have a Crys Cave?” She saw I wasn’t joking, again, “Who are you?”

“Someone you’ll learn about pretty quickly.” With what’s going to happen later, I’m sure she will.

Marika didn’t pry into that and said, “A girl came for you earlier, someone you’re quite close with.”

“That doesn’t narrow down the chart.” I smile but she doesn’t return it.

“Cough Cough… Purple hair, large bosom?”

“Yeah”

“Oh, that’s Alice. She’s my maid.”

“She’s waiting for you outside.”

I nod, “Yes, I have an urgent meeting. You don’t mind if I leave first, right?”

“Of course, go.”

I smile and get up, “Remember, the first bedroom is mine, you can take the second one or any other you like.”

As I was leaving, I get close and whisper in her ear, “That bottle wouldn’t do much, I suggest you come back for more tea.”
