The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven)

Chapter 318

Chapter 318 A Rival In Love?

Then, the soft, stifled sounds slipped from Cassian's lips, each one carrying a hint of irresistible allure that sparked the imagination.

Three minutes later, Cassian felt like he was on the verge of death.

After countless pleadings and coquettish acts failed, Cassian looked at Raven, who kept setting fires but didn't bother to put them out with his slightly bloodshot, watery eyes. His voice, hoarse yet dripping with undeniable charm, carried a trace of exasperation. "I was wrong."

Raven paused her fire-starting antics, raising an eyebrow at him. "Oh? What exactly did you do wrong?"

Cassian pressed his lips together, opening and closing them a few times before finally giving in with a resigned tone. "I shouldn't have tried to be clever."

Raven's smile was faint but carried a hint of mischief. "Anything else?"

"I shouldn't have tried to set up that arrogant, self-absorbed jerk with a woman. And I definitely shouldn't have lied to you." Raven studied Cassian, the little troublemaker looked utterly defeated, but his sharp mind was still as clear as ever. The amusement in her eyes deepened.

Still, to make sure Cassian didn't do the wrong thing again, she asked, "What if it happens again?"

"It won't!" Cassian's voice was unusually firm, almost childlike in its conviction.

He did look like a kid who had learned his lesson and wouldn't repeat the same mistake.

It was a pity that Raven wasn't taken in by his tricks.

"What if it happens again?" she asked, her tone sharp.

"If it happens again, I'll deal with that arrogant self-absorbed jerk myself!" Cassian muttered under his breath.

Of course, he didn't dare say the rest out loud, sniffling like a kicked puppy.
