The Legendary Man

Chapter 39 I Am Asura

“H-Hey, stay away from me!” Josephine was panicking as the man marched toward her. She ended up shivering in fear in one corner with the pen she got herself for self-defense purposes.

Jonathan took a step back while holding his hands out, showing her he meant no harm. “I’ll stay here and stop approaching you as long as you calm down. I’m merely afraid you’ve accidentally hurt yourself.”

“C-Close your eyes!” Josephine pointed the pen at Jonathan and inched toward the bed. Jonathan found her cautious movements hilarious and closed his eyes with a smirk.

A short while later, Josephine announced, “All right, I’m done! Go ahead and open your eyes!”

She had wrapped herself up in the blanket and shrank away to one corner of the bed. Not even a hint of her collarbone could be seen.

Once again, she looked like she was guarding herself against an immoral man with bad intentions.

Jonathan was exasperated at her behavior. He said, “I’ll go ahead and switch off the light then.”

She finally put the pen aside a short while later. Once she tucked herself in, she asked in a hushed voice, “Jonathan, have you fallen asleep?”
