Chapter 124

Louie furrowed his brow, “Explaining this is a bit complicated. But think of it as a sort of psychological suggestion”

Cordelia, puzzled, asked, “Psychological suggestion?”

Louie chuckled, “Yeah, like when you nod while talking, it subconsciously makes people agree with you more. There are tons of examples. Often, the person being influenced doesn’t even realize it. Sometimes it’s a look, sometimes a gesture.”

Cordelia found the idea fascinating, as if a door to a new world had been opened to her. “Is there a way to stop the suggestion?”

As she spoke, a tight sensation gripped her chest, and the thought, “Probably not,” popped into her mind.

Lost in thought, she saw Louie’s eyebrows bunch together in a sigh, “Not at the moment.”

Cordelia managed an “Oh,” about to speak further when Louie added, “But I might be able to help suppress it.”

Suppress it… Cordelia thought about her recent turmoil with whether or not to kiss Everard–if it could be suppressed, could she go back to the simplicity of just holding hands?

Her eyes lit up, “How can we suppress it?”

Louie pulled a small bottle from his bag and handed it to her, “This can help keep things under wraps for at while, but it’s not a cure. It’ll just… slow down your romantic progress.”

Cordelia took it, noticing the lack of a label, and nodded obediently, “Okay.”

But Louie didn’t leave. His handsome features tightened as he gazed at her, and with a deep sigh, he gently patted her head, “Be careful with this guy. You don’t want to mess with him.”

Cordelia blinked, “Louie, you know Everard?”

Loule, avoiding a direct answer, said, “Based on what you’ve told me, he doesn’t seem to mean you any harm. No need to be overly cautious, but don’t get too entangled either.”

Cordelia listened and nodded again..
