When the Book-Traveling Girl Meets the Reborn Girl Chapter 506 Someone to Talk To 18 Pearls Seeing him like that, Jean didn't press further. She turned to face the other direction and said, "Yeah, we should head back." After leaving the Lawsons' estate, Jean quickly forgot the whole thing.
To me, it was just a minor detour. Nothing more.
What mattered now- Was Sarah's return.
If I counted the timeline, it was about that time.
My peaceful years... were probably coming to an end.
A flicker of unease stirred in her chest, but she'd spent years preparing for this moment.
So after a few seconds of discomfort, she calmed down again, I believed I'd be fine, even if I had to leave the Ginger family.
I had money. I had skills.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs long as I didn't provoke Sarah like the original Jean did, she had no reason to cafter me.
The only thing that still ached-is how hard it would be to let go of the Gingers.
After everything, they aren't just family to me. They are more than that.
How can I possibly cut them off like it is nothing? But I have no one to blbut myself.
I knew from the start that the smartest move would've been to stay detached. Just take their money and stay out of it.
But I was the one who got too involved. Who let myself care too much.
Now I can't help wondering-will Mom and the brothers, the ones who treatedso well, turn their backs onthe moment Sarah comes back? Blood ties... they're powerful.
The thought left a bitter taste in her mouth.
The day before SAT results were released, Jean asked Ludwig to meet up.
Over the years, they'd stayed in close contact.
Ludwig'd never once slacked off from his responsibility-watching over Jean in the shadows.
Of course, he has been gone more and more lately.
The Abyssal Choir had been expanding rapidly. More members, more missions. Ludwig was often called away.
15:11 Thu, 10 Jul | Go Chapter 506 Someone to Talk To Technically, Jean was still part of the Abyssal Choir too, but really... it was just in name.
She used to show up at meetings, at least to pretend she was still involved.
Now she didn't even bother doing that.
The group didn't seem to mind. No one forced her.
So far, the Abyssal Choir still seemed normal. They hadn't done anything sketchy or alarming But in the ...
They were a bloodthirsty villain faction. Ruthless and terrifying.
That was what kept nagging at me.
Right now, the Abyssal Choir seems fine. But what would cause them to spiral into chaos and violence later on? And if they did... would I be dragged into the mess? No one could predict that.
Still, that wasn't why I asked Ludwig out today.
I just... wanted someone to talk to.
"If..." She swirled her coffee slowly, watching people pass by outside the café window. Ludwig and her sat side by side, facing the street. Her voice was casual, even teasing. "I'm just saying if-if one day the Gingers kickout, would you takein?" Ludwig's snow-pale face didn't show much reaction.
He turned slightly, his cool eyes landing on me.
After a short pause, the corner of his lips curved up ever so faintly. "Of course," he said without hesitation. "You're always welcome. Anytime. If you stayed close, I could protect you more easily... though-* He raised an eyebrow and locked eyes with Jean.
"Why would you think the Gingers would kick you out? Did something happen?"
At that, something shifted in his expression. His gaze darkened, and a layer oficy tension settled in his E eyes.
