About that gun, after returning from the Zou Family, he had searched her room while she was away. Keeping that gun by her side was always somewhat disconcerting.
But after scouring the entire room, he found no trace of the gun, and the actions she had taken that night seemed like an illusion, leaving no trace of that event.
He turned his head and watched her retreating figure, his eyes deepened, and he tightened his grip on Mary's hand he held.
Yamaguchi Sachiko's words were still ringing in his ears, and thinking about what she had just said made his chest suddenly feel uncomfortably swollen.
He wanted to reach for his chest to alleviate the discomfort, but as soon as his hand moved, Mary, who was in his arms, let out a moan of discomfort.
Joe, still in a daze, snapped back to reality upon hearing her sound, furrowing his brows at the person in his arms, and the scent emanating from her deepened his frown even more.
