They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 350

Chapter 349: You Will Have to Punish Me Too

It wasn’t cold. It wasn’t guarded. It was… warm. Personal. Gentle in a way she had never experienced from Somto.

And it left her confused.

“Uhm… it’s okay,” she replied quietly, her voice uncertain.

Because truthfully, it wasn’t just his apology that unsettled her.

It was everything.

The way he had held her hand without a second thought. The way his eyes lingered on her like she was the only person that mattered.

It wasn’t like the love she got from Abuchi, loud, protective. Or Ebere’s endless chattering love. Or Carl’s quiet support. Or even Nurse Courage’s maternal warmth.

No, this was different.

And Nnenna couldn’t name it. That scared her.

After several tries, and failing miserably, she finally managed to pull her hand out of his grip. It felt awkward. Heavy. Unnatural. But she had to, because being near him like that made her feel… too much.

Somto’s hand remained suspended in the air for a second longer, as if still reaching for her. He slowly closed his fingers, letting them fall to his side. The warmth her hand had left behind faded fast, too fast, and with it came a hollow sting deep in his chest.

But he recovered quickly, locking the feeling away.

He still had somethings to handle.

He turned sharply to face Eglon, who was still frozen in place, trembling in full panic mode.

Somto didn’t blink.

He didn’t raise his voice.

He simply said, “Execute him.”
