Chapter 1019

"Ahhhhhh! Is Zephyr even human? How can he endure that? Is he a turtle in his past life?" Narissa went to Elise and vented her frustration.

Finding it funny, she jokingly said, "I didn't expect him to have such a good temper. You went too far, but he didn't get angry at all."

"Good temper my foot. He just can't bear to lose a month's free maid service!" Narissa retorted.

"Well, you do owe him. A bet is a bet. It's reasonable even if he really wants you to serve him for a month," Elise said in all fairness.

"Hey! If you keep speaking up for that loser, I'm going to get angry!" Rage overtook Narissa at this moment. Since she was still upset, all she wanted was comfort, not to hear more lectures.

"Who said I was speaking up for Zephyr? I'm speaking up for you, okay?" Elise patiently coaxed her.

"Really? I can't tell." Narissa pouted, showing she was still unhappy.

"Think about it. Zephyr has a good reputation in the underworld. Based on what you've told me, it's highly probable that he's not a heartless person. Maybe, he just wanted to teach you a lesson and make you yield after all this time."

"So, he wants me to apologize to him? That's so embarrassing." Narissa had been persisting for so long because she didn't want to be overshadowed by Zephyr. Thus, asking her to yield was no different from asking for her life.

"Actually, some things don't necessarily have to be said. It's up to you whether you want to keep your pride or want your freedom back." After patting her shoulder, Elise stood up to go back inside. "Think about it carefully."

Narissa was contemplating, and only when Elise was about to enter the room did she hurriedly call out, "Wait, El."

"What else do you need to figure out?" Elise asked patiently after turning around.
