My Idle System-Chapter 183: Clumsy

"I mean, why haven’t you asked Iris about the answer if you’re this curious?"

Against his doubts, Eva replied with an uncertain tone, "Should I have really?"

And Christian was stupefied by her logic… by her inquiring gaze, not even sure if he should have considered this "clumsy" side of her in his earlier evaluation.

"I mean, why not?" he said.

After a pause, he even added, "In the first place, even after my reminder, you still haven’t looked into anything about her? That would be an even bigger problem!"

Now clearly sensing something was off, Eva tried to defend herself. "I looked into everything related to us, and the like. It’s just that… I didn’t have the mind or the time to search into her private life. Moreover, I thought her reason for coming was really due to the Ashvale family’s decision, as she really doesn’t have anything to do here."

"Who said that?" Feeling that she was being inflexible in some strange way, he asked, then raised himself from his laying position, and held her hand like she was a child receiving advice from her elders. Then, in a dramatically serious tone, he said, "Don’t make baseless assumptions."

"She has every reason to be here," he reprimanded sternly.

"And they are?" she inquired further, now curious while ignoring his usual strange, supposedly comical behavior that ruined the mood.

"With the excuse of being here due to her family’s decision, she can spend a week of relaxation with her lover." Christian finally dropped the bomb.

"...Excuse me?"

Hearing what she said, after a moment of trying to process his words but failing brilliantly, Christian looked at her with disapproving eyes, seemingly disappointed, and said, "Are you having some hearing problems now? Have I been cheated? And instead of a smart lover, I got a dumb one?"

Feeling her nerves bulging, nearly on the verge of exploding, Eva narrowed her eyes and replied in a colder tone, deliberately ignoring his provocation, "Well, do pray tell. What do you mean by lover?"

"Exactly what I said… a man who isn’t her husband, literally. And she’s naturally having this affair without his knowledge."

Christian proceeded to finally share the story without any embellishment, then paused dramatically and said, "I asked further because I was really curious, and according to Iris, even her husband is having ’affairs.’ And unlike her, who has just one man… his are many, purely sexual, and even with young girls."

"Talk about disgusting," Christian finished, his tone filled with distaste.

Eva stayed silent, her lips slightly parted, seemingly trying to accept everything that she heard before she finally muttered, "...But she married him because of love!"

Christian, now discarding his previous joking attitude, replied, "Who said feelings don’t change?"

"In strange places, you’re being too idealistic!"

Seeing Eva’s gaze waver as she looked at him, Christian hurriedly added, "Don’t look at me like that. I’m not like them!"

’Even if I were possibly "seduced" by another woman, I’d still inform you at least,’ Christian thought to himself, staying more true to himself.

"Moreover, does she really strike you as the loyal type… like, really?"

Faced with his question, Eva couldn’t reply, and just like that, time seemed to pause once again as he naturally returned to burying himself in her warmth.

After some time had passed and Christian was too absorbed in Eva’s sinful body, she suddenly spoke in a low voice, her breathing slightly rough as she interrupted his adventure, "We just took a bath and changed our clothes… so, can you—can you keep your hands to yourself?"

Christian had intended to really just cuddle… to share warmth with their "clothed" bodies, but it seemed his hand… his body didn’t have the same intention.

He had naturally started noticing the changes in himself. While he’d always had good stamina, now, after growing stronger… after his constitution had increased, it seemed everything was affected, judging by how he was ready to go for another few rounds.

…Or was it because of Eva’s body? Too arousing, too tempting, that no matter how much he devoured it, he was becoming insatiable?

While this internal debate raged on, Christian still couldn’t help but comment, "But then, what about "your" hand, that’s already under my clothes?" After all, he wasn’t the only dishonest one here.

"I’m just checking your condition for tomorrow’s operation… to see if you’re really ready, or if we should cancel the plans."

It seemed even Eva knew how to speak nonsense with a straight face… shamelessly!

While neither of them stopped exploring the other with their dishonest hands, Christian couldn’t help but think that maybe he was burdening Eva, as she received all his love with her "frail" body. Perhaps he should look for a sister who could share the load with her?

Christian knew it was all just his imagination running wild, as he would never search for another girl, and he still didn’t include his sister in the equation, because nothing had ever happened between them beyond the occasional handjob. That were even rare in itself.

And was he, who had already tasted the forbidden fruit, known as Eva in her entirety, satisfied with just that? Naturally, no! But he still wanted to go at their own pace... moreover, even if it was just a "handjob," because it was from his sister, it held a different flavor... that immoral, special uniqueness to it!

While things had naturally started to escalate between Christian and Eva, they were ultimately interrupted by his sister, who had finally returned, only to find their disheveled selves.

Then, as time passed and night settled in, Christian cast a glance around the room. Eva, Sophia, Nina, and his sister, all five of them gathered, and couldn’t help but think that his house had really started to teem with people.

"So, you’re sure there’s nothing left for you in your previous house, right?" he suddenly asked, looking at Eva.

"Don’t worry, nothing remained… actually, there was nothing important there anyway."

As they began to talk, Christian couldn’t help but feel that the moment had truly arrived. He became a little sentimental, scanning his surroundings every now and then. Some items that had once been important to him or his sister were missing… things that had already been sent to their intended destination. And it confirmed the fact once again.

He knew that, as soon as morning arrived tomorrow, they would leave before him. While he, too, would soon leave the city, his destination was different. It was finally time to take care of Damian. Yet, despite all that, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.

He had become too accustomed to the presence of his sister and Eva. Now, even just a few hours without seeing either of them felt different. Even Sophia, who he hadn’t liked at first, especially after the hostility she had initially directed toward him, was starting to feel more familiar, after all.

As the night grew late and they intended to finally go to sleep, Christian suddenly heard his phone vibrate. He couldn’t help but pause and open it to see who had called him.

… And it turned out to be messages from Olivia!

[Many members of the Ashvale family and other ancient families are in Washington now, and there’s even a test ceremony they are allowed to attend apparently.]

[Even passersby on the street now know something is wrong, as not only the security is at an all-time high with military and police everywhere, but the atmosphere in the city is tense due to all the "superior" people who have gathered. Despite how, in actuality, they are no different from those passersby they look down on, in the eyes of the truly superior ones!]

’Is she talking about herself?’ Christian thought as he read Olivia’s message. It had only been four days since he met her with Eva, and then he asked for her number from Eva, since he hadn’t greeted her properly or told her to take care of herself before she ran off… and now, this.

He could say they were becoming closer, right? Christian wondered as he recalled how much Olivia had been messaging him. Then he continued reading.

[Anyway, what I meant is your plan will probably go smoothly, as no one has the time to mind you.]

’So, she’s worrying about me, right?’ Thinking that things seemed to be going the right way, Christian continued to read her messages, which had turned into nothing but her showing off.

Once he finished reading and sent a short reply, he finally said, "Well, it’s already late. How about we go to sleep?"

Naturally, it wasn’t that late… but was hugging his sister and Eva, both in their sleeping attire, which seemed to be getting thinner by the day… being sandwiched between them, better or them just sitting together?

It didn’t even need to be questioned, right?

They could also talk there too, even if it was through their bodies, without things escalating.
