Chapter 196
Ophelia draped her long hair over one shoulder. She used a towel to dry her wet hair as she asked, “Do you have a hair diver
“No.” Jonathan replied. His pupils darkened with intrigue shimmering in his eyes.
In this homely state, Ophelia shed her fierce exterior, making her naturally pure features even more endearing.
Jonathan thought. Turns out she has this side too. She is not just wild little kitten but could seamlessly turn into an adorably sweet one.
“No hair dryer at all?” Ophelia remarked with a haughty yet playful disdain. Even though it should have been an off-putting expression, it looked playful on her face, almost endearing.
