CHAPTER 106
Matthew watched me blink and he became more aware, he was nearly fully awake now…Even very happy, to have woken up with Sahara by his side.
“Sahara.” He said again, smiling and getting a tiny bit closer to me.
“Mmm, what.” I said, after clearing my throat and standing up, in which he stood up as well.
Matthew looked at me seriously then, “If word gets out…That…”
“That what?” I asked.
“That we kissed…Wouldn’t your reputation be tarnished?” He asked. Knowing it wasn’t him that had kissed her, but the other way around, but he still did care about her reputation.
Was this the reason I felt something was amiss before?
I coughed, in remembering about the ancient era and getting close to a man.
Omigod! How could I do that!? Are my instincts going to ruin me!?
I breathed in deeply, trying to calm down.
“Meh, what is reputation anyway. It’s like a book cover!” I said, not really caring. I was still somewhat uneasy, but they were my honest feelings…In my previous life, reputation wasn’t such a big deal, as compared to here!
“Eh?” Matthew said, surprised. “What do you mean a book cover?”
I sighed, “Well, the book cover doesn’t really say what’s in a book, it’s just the outside…A reputation doesn’t make who I am, why should I care for it?”
Matthew stared incredulously at her, a girl’s reputation was everything! How could she think like it was nothing!?
I see his face and narrowed my eyes, “Don’t worry, I won’t be a part of your harem!”
The sudden cold atmosphere really stunned Matthew, “What harem!?”
I started to do a couple of stretches, “Surely you must have a few women back at home. Why is it that you come after me!?”
It was Matthew’s turn to narrow his eyes at Sahara, after a moment he finally said, “And who was it that said something about a book cover! I don’t have a harem!”
Seeing him mad, actually shocked me, and then what shocked me more, was that he was right!
I had just said something like ‘not judge a book by its cover’ and here I was assuming that he had a harem…
“You don’t…” I couldn’t finish my words.
Seriously, how could he not!? He was too handsome to not have any women! Wouldn’t everyone think like me!?
Matthew breathed out angrily, “I have no harem!”
I couldn’t help it!? I was so curious! “Why not?”
