Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 125

Cordelia flipped through the pages of the book she was holding, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

At the breakfast table, Everard lounged comfortably in his chair, watching her with amusement. In a low voice, he asked. “What’s up?”

Cordelia looked at him with surprise, “Are you actually reading the Bible?”

Everard leaned back, his eyes gleaming with mirth. He chuckled softly before asking, “Girl, what did you think I was reading?”

Cordelia blinked.

Everard’s elegant fingers tapped on the tabletop, “Well?”

Each word he spoke seemed to twist and turn, playing a melody on the heartstrings.

After a pause, Cordelia thought of Flame No.1 and little Parrot, and she drawled, “Comics, or maybe a novel?”

Everard laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke, his laughter was melodious, but his words were enough to make one blush, “So, you’re looking to read some adult comics?”

Cordelia was stunned.

Although she didn’t know what adult comics were, Everard’s expression while saying it was enough to tell her they were not for children!

Not wanting to expose her ignorance, Cordelia shifted the subject as she sat at the breakfast table, “Why do you read the Bible every day?”

Everard replied, “For purity of heart and desire.”

Cordelia was puzzled and retorted without thinking, “Are you trying to become a monk or something?”

Among the people she knew, Everard was already seen as an enigma, always lounging around in Midnight Scent, doing nothing. And he still talked about purity?
