NovelEnglishChapter 1179:
Cliff paused, glancing at her meaningfully. “If you're thinking about intimacy, it seems you’re not
angry anymore.” Laney wasn’t bothered by his remark and chuckled softly. “What am | thinking
about?”
“It’s written all over your face.”
Laney touched her cheek with a smile. “No, that’s just my beauty.”
As Cliff guided her upstairs, Laney asked, “Do you think I’m pretty, Cliff?” Her tone was playful.
“Yes,” he replied automatically, cautious of her teasing. But Laney remained doubtful. “You didn’t
even look atbefore you answered. You’re lying.”
Cliff shrugged. “I see you every day.”
“So, why aren’t you looking now?” Laney drew closer, wrapping her arm around his and peering up
at him.
Finding himself cornered, Cliff took a moment to really look at her before saying, “Yes, you're pretty.”

Laney turned to face him, her gaze steady. “Since you prefernot wearing skirts, | figured | should stop
wearing them.”
Cliff smiled, skeptical of her statement. He caressed the cover of the book and glanced at her. “Do you really
read fairy tales before sleep?”
Laney blinked and feigned innocence. “What's wrong with that?”
“Nothing, but this book seems like a knock-off.”
“What do you think it is, Cliff?” Laney asked, catching onto his insinuation. She chuckled mischievously. “Why not
open it and find out?”
