The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra - Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Amon and Amelia [3]
***

Amon looked at Elizabeth’s face, which had a subtle shade of red on her cheeks.

Just from a glance he could confirm her emotions.

She was feeling jealous deep down. But that jealousy was something she herself didn’t know about.

Amon wasn’t dense in these matters. He knew the source of that emotion.

He knew for a long time that Elizabeth seemed to have some type of crush on him.

That much he was quite sure of.

The only problem here and the sole reason why he hadn’t given her a reply yet was…

He didn’t find himself having feelings for her currently.

As stated before, yes, he liked her for sure.

But he didn’t know if those feelings of liking her were to the point of loving or having a crush on her.

He was still unsure of how he felt toward her.

He didn’t want to love her or get together with her half-heartedly just to satisfy her feelings.

That wasn’t the definition of love in his dictionary.

But even leaving that all aside, Amon didn’t have any time to be involved in these love entanglements.

He had to worry about his survival first.

He was barely moving along with the world at the current moment.

And for that, Amon needed to advance further.

Otherwise the world would swallow him up whole.

In his heart, Elizabeth was like a close friend right now that he would do anything for.

Anything above that?

He wasn’t sure.

“Oh, my bad, I guess I got too excited while talking to him.” Amelia winked and retreated back.

“I-” Elizabeth opened her mouth to say something but hesitated.

And at the same second, Alice and Katherine also returned back.

After that, the meal proceeded normally without any drama.

***

It was close to sunset now.

Amon and the group exited the City Centre, with Lily in his hands.

The little gremlin was currently being fed a chocolate bar from over his shoulders by Amelia behind him.

Amon sighed.

“Please don’t give her many chocolate bars, she’ll consider you as her vending machine.”

She chuckled behind him.

“It’s fine, she’s such a cute little angel.” She caressed the little girl’s cheeks with her gloved hand.

Now that Amon saw it, he remembered that Amelia never took off her gloves in front of the public.

For what reason? He didn’t know.

Even in the novel, it was never revealed why.

That revealed just how careful and secretive she was with them.

Katherine chuckled from the side.

“These two make a really good pair.” She referred to Amelia and Lily.

Alice nodded.

“For real, they almost look the same in their habits as well. Eating sweet things and all.”

Amon laughed.

“That’s true.”

From behind, he felt the chocolate bar finally finish.

But as soon as it finished, Lily begged for more.

“More..” She reached her hand out to Amelia who grabbed them.

Amon gave her a glance from behind Lily, shaking his head.

Amelia gave him an understanding gaze back.

“I’m sorry Li-”

“More, sister Amelia…” She said once more, trying to break free from Amon’s grasp.

But their minds weren’t on that for the moment.

It was the two words she had just spoken…

Everyone’s eyes were widened, even Elizabeth’s.

It was a well-known fact amongst all of them that the only two people she referred to with family names were Amon and Katherine.

For Amon, it was uncle initially before it changed to brother and then to daddy.

And for Katherine, it was mommy as well after some time.

And even though it had been 2 months with Alice and Elizabeth, Lily had never called them with any family names.

But…

For the first time, she called Amelia with a family name after just spending one day with her.

A new one at that as well. Sister.

The one to break the laughter was Katherine, who broke out in laughter.

Even Amelia, who was usually playful and ready to respond to anything, was left flabbergasted.

“I was right, she really does like you a lot.”

Even Alice chuckled.

“That’s so true hahaha.”

At their words, Amelia composed herself and smiled back, hiding the red on her cheeks.

She rummaged through her pockets from where she took out another chocolate bar.

“Forgive me Amon, but this sister needs to show her love to this blob of cuteness.”

She started feeding her the bar.

Amon resisted a sigh and looked at Amelia incredulously.

“You actually had another bar?” He asked and Amelia laughed.

“I have a pile of them in my ring. I love sweet things.” She said,

“Ah..” Amon suddenly remembered her habits and nodded.

After walking to the road, they finally decided to split up as Amelia had to head back home.

“Welp, I’ll see you guys some other time.” She waved, smiling.

She patted Lily’s head and looked at Amon.

“Good luck with your familiar ceremony, you can surely do it.”

Amon was surprised by her belief in him but chose to say nothing.

“Welp, take care and if you ever want to participate in the festival, you can meet me in the club office.” She smiled before walking away.

***

[After 1 Hour]

They stepped off the carriage and headed up the stairs to their apartment corridor.

Amon and Katherine stood in front of Elizabeth and Alice’s apartment door.

Katherine and Alice were talking amongst themselves right now.

Amon turned to Elizabeth.

He chose to ask her once again.

“You good?”

She averted his gaze for a couple of seconds, as if hesitating to say something.

But then she finally came out with it.

“I–”

“I just didn’t like seeing her that close to you.”

She averted her gaze again, rubbing her arm and trying to hide her flushed cheeks.

“It was just…”

“I don’t know, annoying.”

Amon looked at her shy face and couldn’t help but break out into slight laughter.

She looked at him with her whole face red.

“Hey, it’s not that funny.”

He patted her head.

“Yeah, I know. My bad.”

Elizabeth looked down, as if she was hesitating for something.

But then..

She took a step forward, getting closer to him.

Amon noticed it but chose to say nothing.

But then…

He heard a voice from the side.

“Amon, let’s go home.” Katherine said and he immediately turned, along with Elizabeth.

Amon’s sister stifled a chuckle.

She grabbed his hand.

“Let’s go dummy. It’s getting late.”

I planned to make a new uploading schedule of uploading 2 chaps right after Reset and also increasing word count of each chap to 2k today.

But due to an accident on my bike early in the morning, I got some injuries on my body which also hinder my speed of writing.

Because of this, I’ll need you guys to bear with irregular updates and word count for a few days till I’m healed.

Thank you and I hope you understand.
