Alexei looked at Elise's expression and recognized the genuine fear on her face.
It was the same look she had back when she accidentally hurt the drunkard in New York and it made Alexei feel weird.
He normally didn't care, Baron was right about most of them not usually caring… but seeing Elise's troubled face was different.
There was something really sweet and gentle about her that even a selfish god like Alexei would feel touched.
"You know… mortals don't live very long," Alexei said. He couldn't stop himself from saying such a thing. "So I'm surprised you're in a relationship with one."
Elise gasped and threw Alexei a shocked look.
"What do you mean by a mortal?" Her heart skipped a beat.
"Yes. Mortal as in ordinary people," Alexei explained.
"No, I know what it means," Elise grumbled. "Are you implying… that you're NOT a mortal?"
Alexei shrugged nonchalantly. "Of course not."
