Ace was shocked.
Scarlett did not try to stop him when he was about to kiss her, and she also wore a sexy nightgown despite knowing he would come to her room, so he thought they had a special relationship.
"You are not lying, right?" he tried his best to hide his embarrassment.
"I'm not lying." She shook her head. "We really have no special relationship."
"Then why didn't you stop me when I was about to kiss you?" he asked curiously.
"Well, it was…" she could not finish her words because she was too shy to answer his question.
"It was?" he uttered,
She turned her head to the other side and replied in a low voice, "It was because my heart suddenly beat fast so I forgot to stop you."
"What is it? I can't hear you." Her voice was too low, so he could not hear her words clearly.
"It's nothing." She lied to him.
"Then let me ask you another question." He spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "Why are you wearing a sexy nightgown? Are you trying to seduce me?"
She pinched his cheeks and smiled softly, "It seems like you have become a bad young man now."
"Bad young man? What are you talking about? I, Ace, am a good young man." he behaved as if he was a good young man who never did anything bad.
"Then why did you suddenly kiss my lips earlier?" she inquired.
"Because you are my sugar mama. Isn't it normal for me to kiss you?" he made an excuse.
"Hehe." She giggled after hearing his remarks. "But I'm not your sugar mama."
"Didn't you say you were my sugar mama earlier?" he asked.
"Did I say something like that? I'm sure you heard it wrong." Of course, she remembered it, but she did not want to admit it.
"No. I heard it right." He responded,
"No. I never said something like that." Like before, she did not want to admit it.
The corner of his lips twitched when she kept denying his words.
"Hehe." She giggled when she saw his expression. "Ace, are you going to sleep in my arms? Why are you still on top of me?"
"Scarlett, you are still wrapping your arms around my waist, so I can't move my body." Actually, he forgot about this.
Luckily, she was still wrapping her arms around his waist or else he did not know how to answer her question.
"Ops! I forgot about it." After saying that, she removed her arms from his waist.
Ace immediately lay on her left side.
The duo began to talk again.
Due to how interesting their conversation was, they did not realize that they had been talking for about two hours.
[Ding! The quest is complete.]
[Ding! Host has received a Cooking Skill card. Host can find it in the inventory.]
Memory relating to the cooking skills suddenly appeared in his mind after activating the cooking skill card.
He also felt as if he had been cooking food for over forty years.
"Scarlett, it's already 10:00 pm, so let's sleep now." he would go to the Framingburns forest tomorrow, so he wanted to sleep early.
"Un." She nodded her head.
Scarlett turned her head to look at him when he immediately closed his eyes.
'Did he forget to say it?'
She really hoped Ace would say goodnight to her.
Ace slowly opened his eyes when Scarlett suddenly poked his cheeks using her right index finger. "What's wrong, Scarlett?"
"Ace, did you forget to say something to me?" she did not tell him what she wanted,
"Hmm? What is it?" he still did not get her words.
She did not answer his question and kept staring at him. At this moment, she no longer poked his cheeks.
Ace finally understood what she wanted.
After turning his body to face her, he kissed her lips before finally speaking, "Goodnight, Scarlett."
"Ace, you should kiss my forehead, not my lips." Even though she said something like that, but she was still delighted because she finally got what she wanted.
"Ops! I forgot." After saying that, he kissed her forehead. "Goodnight, Scarlett."
Scarlett's face blossomed into a smile, and her heart leaped up for joy. "Goodnig-kya!"
Before she had finished her words, Ace did something shocking to her.
He put her on top of him!
"Let me sleep while embracing you." He dared to do something like this because he had kissed her lips earlier.
Scarlett only looked at his handsome face before finally placing her head on his chest.
'Well, sleeping like this is not a bad idea too.'
No, she actually loved it.
She felt calm and comfortable when he wrapped his left arm around her back and caressed her hair gently using his other hand.
'Today is a good day!'
She drew a circle on his chest using her left index finger before finally closing her eyes.
The duo fell asleep shortly after that.
The following morning, Ace prepared everything after having breakfast with Scarlett. He also stored spices and a frying pan in his space ring.
Yes, he had a space ring now!
Actually, he did not want to bring spices and a frying pan with him, but he changed his mind when he remembered he was a master chef now.
'Where is she? Doesn't she want to bid goodbye to me?'
Ace was currently standing in front of Scarlett's house.
"Scarlett, I'm about to leave now!" he shouted.
"Ace, wait!" Scarlett rushed toward the front yard.
The corner of his lips twitched when he saw her.
'Don't tell me….'
He saw her running toward him.
Scarlett wore a green archer outfit and brown knee-high boots. A quiver filled with arrows was hanging on her back, and a beautiful silver bow could be seen in her left hand.
Even though she was not wearing revealing clothes like last night, but her outfit could not hide her sexy body.
"Scarlett, are you going somewhere now?" even though he had guessed the answer, he still asked this question.
"Framingburns forest is a dangerous place, so I decided to accompany you." She did not want something bad to happen to him, so she decided to accompany him.
"What about your job as city mistress?" he inquired.
"Don't you know that city mistress doesn't have a job?" of course, she was lying because she ordered her trusted subordinates to take care of everything in her absence.
Ace only stared at her when Scarlett walked past him.
"Goddess Teressa, does it still count if she helps me kill the magical beasts?" he asked in a low voice.
[Goddess Teressa responds, no. You have to kill the magical beasts yourself.]
He was not surprised by her answer.
'Well, I will just ask her to let me hunt alone later.'
He knew that he could not stop Scarlett from following him.
Scarlett stopped her footsteps and turned around, "What are you standing there for? Let's go to the Framingburns forest now."
"I'm coming." He rushed toward her.
'Well, going to the forest with a beautiful MILF is not a bad idea too.'
