Males are all very greedy; there's no denying it. Give them an inch, and they'll take a mile, demanding more and more from the kind-hearted.
Right now, Graces was doing just that—pushing his luck, using her kind heart to ask for more.
It wouldn't matter even if he were refused. He had already gained so much today, yet he still wanted more... and more.
Lu Xia sighed softly. 'Was Graces really that frightened by his transformed appearance?' she wondered.
'A little reassurance would be good for his mental and physical health. Besides, Graces is just so valuable for research.'
'So, she didn't refuse. It was just a kiss. They'd done things far more intimate countless times. Why would a single kiss matter?'
So, as the man watched with an expectant gaze, Lu Xia leaned in and placed a kiss on his forehead.
It was gentle, devoid of any passion, meant only to soothe.
