Villain Ch 1240. No Big Deal
"Why?" Allen asked, tilting his head slightly. "We're just talking. No big deal."
"Because it feels like a big deal," Mila said, dropping her hands to her lap. Her voice was softer now, more vulnerable. "You're not exactly the easiest person to talk to, you know."
Allen raised an eyebrow. "I'm not?"
"No," Mila said firmly, then hesitated. "I mean, you're nice, but you're also… intimidating. You've got this whole 'cool and untouchable' vibe going on. Like you don't care about what anyone thinks."
Allen chuckled, shaking his head. "Trust me, Mila, I care. Maybe too much sometimes. But I get it—I probably don't make it easy for people to figure me out."
Mila gave him a hesitant smile, her fingers playing with the rim of her cup. "You could say that again. You're like a puzzle where half the pieces are hidden in some secret vault."
