Chapter 507 You're So Good toWhen Jean noticed the change in Ludwig's expression, she quickly shook her head and said in a light tone, "I was just kidding. They treatreally well." But clearly, that wasn't enough to ease Ludwig's worry. His brows furrowed as he asked, "Then why would you even think about something like that?"

"I was just thinking... You're really good to me, Ludwig." He clearly didn't expect that.
His ever-stoic face, calm and composed, finally cracked-his dark pupils trembled for just a second.
