Chapter 129

KNOCK KNOCK!

Zach knocked on the door, and seconds later, Aurora opened the door with a bright smile on her face.

She hugged him tightly even before allowing him to enter the room.

Zach looked at Aria, but she averted her face and turned to the glass window.

"..." Zach raised his brows and thought, ’I wouldn’t be surprised if she is angry. I kind of went too overboard and ended up squeezing her butts. I even said a cheeky line to her.’

Zach walked into the room even when Aurora was still hugging him and closed the door without looking back.

"Uhhh... can you let go now?"

"Why? Do you not want to feel my soft body?" Aurora asked in a muffled voice.

"I am exhausted, so if you want to hug me, do it when I sleep." Zach tried to walk, but Aurora still did not stop hugging him.

Zach raised his brows with an annoyed look on his face and thought, ’You forced me to do this.’

Zach hugged Aurora back, or so she thought, but Zach moved his one hand down at her butt and another hand at her chest. Then, he squeezed her butt and caught her by surprise, so she let go of Zach and made some distance between them. At the same time, Zach touched Aurora’s chest and squeezed her soft breasts.

That was enough to make Aurora embarrassed.

"Heh!" Zach smirked at Aurora with a smug look on his face. ’That face is a treat to my eyes.’

Aurora was glaring at Zach with teary eyes and a flushed face. However, she didn’t look angry.

"I am angry at you," Aurora stated.

"..." Zach stared at Aurora for a while and uttered, "You sure don’t look angry, though."

Aurora puffed her cheeks and folded her arms below her bosom before saying, "Why did you stop me from eating more cake? It’s not like I was eating from others’ shares."

"It just pissed me off because you were fawning over the cake so much," Zach responded in an annoyed tone, as though he didn’t want to talk about the topic.

"Why were you... oh!" Aurora exclaimed. She remembered what Zach had told her about his family occupation.

"Right... your family runs a bakery..." Aurora covered her mouth and looked at Zach with a curious look in her eyes. "Wait, are you seriously getting jealous because I praised Aquarius’ birthday cake?"

Zach smacked lightly on Aurora’s head and said, "Of course not. I just didn’t... like it."

"Yeah. And that’s called jealousy."

"I am not jealous. I wanted to be the first baker to make you say ’Delicious’ but I guess, I won’t get a chance now," Zach uttered with a sigh.

Of course, Aurora had eaten various types of cakes in the real world. Even in Gods’ impact, she had eaten a variety of cakes. However, she never said ’Delicious’ after eating them. She did say, ’It was good’ or ’It was tasty.’

Aurora squinted her eyes and uttered, "But you suck at cooking. How can you make a delicious cake?"

Aurora and Aria once let Zach cook the food for them. They regretted their decision to the point that they decided they would never let Zach near the kitchen again.

"You bake the cake. Baking and cooking is a different thing," Zach stated. "If you are not convinced that I can’t bake a cake, I will make one for you when we get back to our home."

"I want chocolate flavored," Aurora said with a grin on her face.

Zach kissed Aurora on the hips and hugged her before saying, "Once... once we have beat this game and when we go back to our real world, I will make your favorite crepe. We would eat them every day."

"That sounds like a retirement plan," Aurora scoffed softly.

Zach brought his face closer to Aurora to kiss her, but Aurora stopped him by placing her hand on his mouth.

"What gives?"

"I think we should kiss when others are around," Aurora stated.

"But I already kissed you once, and there is no one else around other than Aria," Zach said as he repeatedly tried to kiss Aurora.

"That’s the point. Think about how Aria must be feeling after seeing us kiss all the time."

"What do you mean?" Zach asked with a confused look on his face.

"How would you feel if Aria kept kissing a man in front of your eyes?"

Zach immediately frowned his face after hearing that.

"I am sorry for giving such an example, but it seems like it worked," Aurora remarked.

"Don’t use me as an excuse!" Aria jumped on the bed and curled up in the blanket. "I am going to sleep, so you can do whatever you want."

Zach walked past Aurora and sat on the bed.

After realizing that she touched Zach’s nerve, she started fidgeting. She stood in front of Zach and asked, "Do you hate me now?"

"At least ask the right questions..." Zach let out a weary scoff.

Aurora sat on top of Zach’s lap and kissed him on the lips. Zach was about to kiss her back, but there was a knock on the door.

’It’s past midnight. Who would come at such an hour?’ Zach asked himself.

Aurora and Zach got up and turned to the door.

"You stay here. I will go check," Zach uttered and slowly walked to the door.

Zach opened the door while thinking, ’I cultivated 100 MP while I was talking with the sixth, so I should be able to fight—’

However, Zach was surprised and relieved to see it was Aquarius.

"What are you doing here?" Zach asked with a curious yet calm look on his face.

Aquarius looked past Zach’s shoulder and saw Aurora staring at her.

"Are you... are you free to accompany me for a short walk... or should I say short swim?" Aquarius asked with an awkward smile on her face.

She tried to make a joke to ease up the mood, but it backfired instead.
