12 O'Clock Marionette

Chapter 51

Julian feigned concern as he looked at me.

“I can’t help but think about it now and then, especially after that joke you made last time.”

The one where I flatly denied that Cruello was treating me well?

He was still thinking about that? Should I call him perceptive or just persistent?

This time, however, I could answer much more smoothly.

“Of course, he treats me well.”

“I see... Still...”

He gave me a strange smile.@@@@

What the hell?

Why would someone bring snake wine to a ballroom?

He’s a truly bizarre person.

Daedire chimed in.

“When you put it like that, it does sound highly suspicious.”

“I already told you, Daedi. It was a gift.”

“But gifts are usually chosen with the recipient’s taste in mind... Ah, never mind. I suppose it could be your taste, Julian.”

“It is not my taste.”
