The Female Leads Truly Loves You - Chapter 439

Chapter 439: What is enjoyment?
Sam couldn’t find the best answer; perhaps there was no optimal solution to such a question.

So he could only answer her with his most genuine thoughts.

He looked down at her.

His gaze didn’t waver; his eyes held no pleading or earnestness, just a calm, steady flow like water.

Angel looked up, meeting Sam’s eyes.

It was almost a challenge, her eyes filled with defiance.

It was familiar, and it was truly her.

She said, “I don’t want to… mmph!!”

Angel didn’t get to finish her sentence as Sam pressed his lips against hers.

In the bright morning, outside the sacred church, he kissed her deeply.

Even as she realized what was happening and started pounding his chest with her fists, no matter how hard she hit.

Sam didn’t let go, regardless of whether anyone was passing by or witnessing the scene. He held her tightly, persistently melting away her resistance.

Until her punches grew weaker, until her movements became more subtle.

Until she stopped hitting his chest and instead clung tightly to his arms, Sam’s kiss softened.

Angel, her face flushed from the forced kiss, breathed heavily, glaring at him.

“Why didn’t you let me finish?”

Sam smiled.

“Even if there was the slightest chance you’d say it, I wouldn’t let you.”

Angel glared at him.

“What I wanted to say wasn’t just something to be told with a kiss.”

Sam nodded.

“That’s why I knew you didn’t want to say it. Isn’t this the most dignified way to handle it?”

Angel was momentarily stunned, her cheeks reddening further.

“You bastard…!”

Sam nodded.

“You’ve known I was a bastard for a long time. Didn’t you say you weren’t a good person either? Doesn’t that make us a perfect match?”

“Bang!”

Unable to win the argument, Angel kicked him in the shin.

Sam didn’t dodge. This time, it was clear she didn’t hold back, and it hurt… He almost reached down to rub it.

“Feeling better now?”

Sam asked with a cheeky grin, as if everything had returned to the beginning.

Angel glared at him.

“Better? With your thick skin, how could I vent my anger?”

Sam thought for a moment.

“There are other ways to vent.”

Angel understood what he meant with just a glance.

Her cheeks, which had just cooled down, reddened again.

She whispered, “No, is that all you think about?”

Sam looked at her innocently.

“Didn’t you start this in the first place?”

“I…?”

“Don’t play dumb. Remember who used their powers when I didn’t comply, who kissed my cock in the classroom, and didn’t help me put my underwear back on, almost getting me caught by everyone…”

“Say it again! I dare you!”

Sam turned and ran, with Angel chasing after him.

They ran back to the church entrance, just as Celeste and Selena were coming out.

“Ah… Godmother, you’re out?”

Sam and Angel stopped awkwardly, one behind the other.

It seemed too lively in front of an elder, making it a bit embarrassing.

Celeste smiled at them.

“Looks like you’re having fun. Did I come out too early?”

Angel tidied her hair, which had become messy from the chase, and said disdainfully.

“No, he’s just annoying.”

Sam smiled, “It’s cold outside. How about we talk in the car?”

“Good idea.”

Celeste nodded, and they all left the church and got back in the car.

Elowen asked from the front.

“Heading back, ma’am?”

Celeste nodded.

“Let’s head back. It’s the first day of the New Year, and you’ve worked hard. You can rest when we get home.”

Elowen thought for a moment, then nodded.

On the way back, Angel seemed lost in thought, not saying much, just looking out the window.

Selena, on the other hand, kept talking, with Sam and Celeste answering her questions.

It’s often said that children are the most important. When there’s only one child, everyone caters to her emotions.

It’s not a bad thing, but Sam thought, many people show their kindest, gentlest side to children.

But why do they become cold and harsh in the adult world?

It’s hard to tell which is the true nature of people.

But thinking about it didn’t help, so Sam just let his mind wander.

Until they got home and parked the car.

As Celeste got out, she reminded Elowen.

“You’re off now. Go enjoy the New Year.”

Elowen looked at her.

“What is enjoyment?”

It was a strange question, almost unbelievable.

What kind of life makes someone not understand the meaning of enjoyment?

Celeste’s answer was even more interesting.

She smiled and pulled out a thick wad of cash from her bag, handing it to Elowen.

“Find a way to spend all this money in four days. No gambling, no drugs. Other than that, eat, drink, play, whatever you want. That’s your task.”

Elowen hesitated but took the thick stack of dollars and nodded.

“I understand.”

“Oh, and get some new clothes. It’s the New Year. Dress festively. Always wearing black might bring bad luck.”

Back at the mansion.

“I’m going to take a nap.”

Angel stood up.

Sam looked at her.

“What about me?”

“Do whatever you want, but if you dare leave, just try.”

She threw out the words simply and walked to her bedroom.

Sam, left in the living room, smiled wryly.

Celeste looked at Sam, a bit gleeful.

“Oh dear, what will you do now? No one to keep you company.”

Sam looked at Celeste.

“Isn’t Godmother still here?”

Celeste also stood up with a smile.

Then she yawned lazily.

“Sorry, I’m a bit tired too. I might need a nap.”

“What? Then…”

“Well, you’ll have to manage on your own, Sam. I won’t say anything like ‘if you dare leave,’ but… do as you please. I won’t know.”

With a mischievous smile, Celeste also left Sam.

Selena had already rushed to her room to play games. Sam, not interested in entertaining a child, sat in the living room and thought.

He made a phone call.

Of course, it was to Cedarwood.

Hearing his parents’ voices, cheerfully talking about the mundane daily life in Cedarwood, Sam felt at peace.

Suddenly, his mother said.

“Oh, Ava is here. She wants to talk to you.”

Sam was taken aback, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

It wasn’t that he disliked the girl, but he was genuinely worried she might reveal her feelings for him in front of their parents.

In fact, Sam had come to accept Ava’s feelings for him, but the only obstacle was how to convince their parents.

“Brother.”

The girl’s slightly lowered voice came through.

Sam gathered his thoughts.

“Happy New Year, Ava.”

The girl immediately huffed.

“Surprised you remember me. Why didn’t you call me? I had to take this call.”

Sam felt a headache coming on.

“I sent you a message last night…”

“Just a ‘Happy New Year’ message. Anyone would think it was a mass text. Who are you fooling? I didn’t even want to reply.”

As always, she was tsundere.

Sam didn’t know if their parents were listening, so he could only smile wryly.

“Next time, I’ll send more messages to show my sincerity, okay?”

“You have to call me at midnight, exactly on the dot.”

“Isn’t that a bit too much?”

“I knew you didn’t care about me. Dad! Mom! Brother is bullying me!”
