The Female Leads Truly Loves You - Chapter 422

Chapter 422: You’re always unique
Sophie clearly heard the sudden, intense pounding of her heart. Her momentary look of shock betrayed her true reaction to Sam’s words.

Could this be Sam’s so-called New Year’s gift?

How could it be!

How could a living person be given as a gift, especially when he… wasn’t he supposed to belong to Angel?

No, no, Sam must be teasing her!

Sophie’s cheeks flushed instantly, and she glared at Sam.

“I don’t know what nonsense you’re talking about!”

She turned and stormed out of the kitchen, looking furious, as if reacting instinctively to being humiliated. In reality, she returned to the sofa, grabbed a pillow, and hugged it tightly. She buried her face in it, seeking warmth and comfort.

Sophie was a sensitive and suspicious person, she admitted that.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t always question the intentions of those who tried to help her, wondering if they pitied her.

And she didn’t want to be pitied.

But… at that moment, when Sam said those words, Sophie’s heart was completely captured…

Sam cooked quickly and soon had the dishes ready on the table. Since he wouldn’t be eating here, he didn’t make much.

Sophie looked up as Sam picked up his canvas bag.

“Alright, enjoy your meal. See you later.”

It seemed there was nothing more to say.

Sophie frowned.

“What if I don’t go?”

Sam paused, his hand on the doorknob, then turned back with a smile.

“Then who will I give my gift to?”

“You said you didn’t prepare a gift.”

Sophie was puzzled.

Sam smiled.

“You know I love joking with you, right?”

“I don’t like jokes!”

“I know, which is why I’m not joking now. And tonight, none of my words will be jokes, and that letter is definitely not a joke.”

“…”

Thinking of that letter, Sophie’s cheeks heated up.

She remembered the words that had kept her awake for days.

Like a nightmare, or a curse etched into her heart.

Foretelling something special would happen on this special day.

Not just the end of the old year…

Seeing her lost in thought, Sam thought for a moment and asked again before leaving.

“Are you sure you didn’t prepare a gift for me?”

Sophie’s eyes wavered.

“I wouldn’t give you a gift.”

“That would make me very sad.”

“…”

The sound of the door closing reminded Sophie that she was alone again.

Except for the fragrant food on the table, she was alone.

Sophie sighed softly.

…

After leaving Sophie’s place, Sam headed straight to Angel’s house.

“Sam, Happy New Year!!”

The ever-adorable Selena bounced into view, her hair in a cute bun, looking very sweet.

Sam chuckled and patted her head.

“It’s not New Year yet.”

Selena blinked.

“But it’s just one night away, close enough.”

“So, are you eager for your gift?”

Selena blinked again.

“What gift?”

She looked expectant.

Sam squinted with a smile.

“Didn’t I tell you last time? You didn’t forget, did you?”

Hearing this, Selena’s eyes widened as if remembering something terrifying.

Her face turned pale, and her lips trembled slightly.

“It… it can’t be that, right?”

“Do you want it?”

Sam’s smile now looked like that of a villain in an anime to Selena.

She shook her head quickly.

“N-no, I don’t want it.”

“How can there be no New Year’s gift? You wished me a Happy New Year, so I need to reciprocate, right?”

“Uh… no, no, no, it’s not New Year yet. Tomorrow is New Year. I just…”

“Here you go.”

When Sam pulled out a familiar-looking box from his canvas bag.

Selena was stunned.

“This… this isn’t… the latest Switch, is it?!”

Without teasing her further, Sam handed the Switch to her.

“Hide it quickly. If your sister sees it, she might confiscate it.”

Selena excitedly took the Switch, looking very happy.

Sam knew this girl loved games and couldn’t refuse a Switch.

But he didn’t buy it.

It was something he had won from the system’s weekly lottery.

The weekly sign-in lottery not only gave attribute points, special items, or consumables but also small gadgets that existed in the real world.

When choosing gifts today, Sam noticed this and thought it would be perfect for her.

“Mua!”

As Sam bent down with a smile, Selena unexpectedly stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek.

The blushing girl blinked her big, watery eyes.

“Thank you, dear Sam!”

“Is that your gift?”

Sam felt the slight moisture on his cheek and asked.

Selena giggled.

“Of course, it’s a unique New Year’s gift from an invincible young girl. Are you happy?”

“What are you two doing?”

Their interaction naturally caught someone’s attention.

Sam looked up, momentarily stunned, as if hit by a powerful spell.

Angel wore a fitted black dress, like an evening gown, with a satin texture.

But over it, she wore a fluffy, noble-looking fur coat.

The fitted black dress and the faintly visible black stockings underneath highlighted her perfect, proud curves.

Not to mention her inherent noble aura.

Even her white neck had a black ribbon from the dress, like a choker, adding a touch of modern, seductive charm.

Her hair was styled in an updo, reminding Sam of a famous character from the fan community, Asuna.

But the difference was that Asuna was from a fictional world, while Angel was in Sam’s reality.

Sam’s breath seemed to freeze, making Angel’s lips curl into a slight smile.

“Who’s this country bumpkin who’s never seen the world?”

Sam snapped out of it and walked towards Angel, standing under the wooden eaves.

He looked up slightly at this stunning girl who could instantly conquer any man.

“Where’s my girlfriend Angel? Please give her back to me.”

Angel chuckled.

“Is that your way of complimenting me?”

Sam smiled.

“It’s a way of praising your uniqueness.”

Angel narrowed her eyes.

“So, I wasn’t unique before?”

Sam shook his head, and Angel’s eyebrows raised slightly, as if about to get angry.

But then Sam said.

“You’re always unique. I’ve built an album in my heart, filled with every moment, every beautiful moment of you.”

Angel lowered her head, slightly bending.

Like a queen knighting someone, she placed one hand on Sam’s shoulder and cupped his face with the other.

Then she leaned down, her soft lips kissing his.

At that moment, she was unusually gentle and tender.
