BXBX NOVEL Chapter 468: Did You Like What You Saw?
The next thing he saw was her bare shoulders, as well as the side of her breast, which was pressing against his chest.
It seemed that the string of her nightgown had gotten undone when Ethan\'s hands wrapped around her when he hugged her in his sleep.
Perhaps, Mary or Sue didn\'t tie the strings properly and kept it loose on purpose, assuming that something like this would happen.
But regardless of the reason or circumstance of how he ended up hugging Nicole and the latter hugging him in return, he felt as if he was in a very tricky situation.
Of course, he had tried to extricate himself from the young lady, but her hold on him was surprisingly firm, and it felt like she had locked him in a vice grip.
While he was thinking of a way how to get out of his situation without hurting his friend, Nicole started to stir, making Ethan\'s body stiffen.
\'Oh boy, here comes the fun part.\' Sebastian chuckled from inside Ethan\'s Sea of Consciousness.
\'The suspense is terrible,\' Ethan\'s Other Half commented. \'I hope it lasts.\'
Ethan silently cursed the two members of the peanut gallery as he resigned himself to his fate.
When Nicole opened her eyes, he looked at Ethan still half-asleep.
"Ethan?" Nicole asked before she sleepily freed his body, propping herself up into a sitting position before rubbing her eyes.
At that exact moment, the other string of her nightgown loosened, exposing both her breasts in front of the young man, whose eyes automatically locked onto them.
"Nice shape," Ethan muttered.
After saying those words, Nicole\'s body stiffened as her eyes widened in shock.
She then looked at Ethan\'s face before looking down on her bare chest before raising her head once again to look at him.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds before Nicole sighed and unhurriedly tied the strings of her nightgown back up.
If it were any other young man who had seen her body, she would have definitely smacked them to oblivion.
But Ethan was different.
She knew that he didn\'t see her in a romantic or lustful way and that he also wasn\'t ignorant about a woman\'s body.
"Did you like what you saw?" Nicole asked after she had properly tied the strings of her nightgown. "I want the honest truth."
"I liked them very much," Ethan answered honestly. "You have well-shaped breasts. They are very beautiful."
"Mmm. Then I\'ll forgive you because you are honest," Nicole then moved away from the bed. "I\'ll just change into something more comfortable so that we can have breakfast together."
"Okay." Ethan nodded.
The moment Nicole opened the door, two maids fell on the carpeted floor.
"… What are the two of you doing?" Nicole asked with an amused expression on her face.
"W-We… we\'re just guarding the door to make sure that no one would disturb the two of you," Sue answered.
"T-That\'s right!" Mary replied. "I-It\'s not like we\'re trying to eavesdrop or anything. We\'re just making sure that both of you are safe."
Nicole said nothing and only shook her head helplessly before moving past the two maids, who were still collapsed on the carpeted floor.
When the young lady had firmly closed the door of her room, the two maids looked behind them, only to see Etahan looking down on them with his arms crossed over his face.
Mary and Sue glanced at each other before giving the handsome young man their sweetest smiles.
"How many rounds?" Sue asked.
"Did you practice moderation?" Mary inquired.
Ethan narrowed his eyes at the two eavesdroppers before saying what was on his mind.
"Get out," Ethan ordered. "Now."
The two maids sighed before standing up at the same time.
They then bowed their heads at Ethan before closing the door firmly behind them, leaving the young man alone.
\'Smooth," Sebastian commented. "Very smooth.\'
\'Mmm. I don\'t mind adding Nicole to the Family Tree,\' Ethan\'s Other Half commented. \'She\'s a great young lady. Better than most. She\'ll give birth to strong kids.\'
Ethan rolled his eyes at the two bastards inside his head and went to the closet to change his clothes.
He was thankful that Nicole didn\'t blame him for what happened. Otherwise, it would have caused a strain on their relationship as friends.
The young man wasn\'t aware that the young lady in question was currently humming happily as she picked out what clothes to wear.
Her head was no longer hazy, and her body felt so relaxed that it made her wonder if sleeping beside Ethan had a soothing effect on her body.
Nicole very rarely managed to get a good night\'s rest because she would often toss and turn on her bed during the night.
After she finished pulling on her clothes, he asked Sue to deliver their breakfast to Ethan\'s room.
Since they didn\'t have any appointments to dine with the Royal Family, they would just eat by themselves.
Also, they would be returning to the academy tomorrow, so she planned to ask Ethan to go with her to check out the capital city while they were there.
A few minutes later…
"Buy souvenirs in the city?" Ethan asked. "I think that\'s a great idea."
"Right," Nicole nodded. "I\'m sure that your lovers would want some gifts from the capital as well. And since we\'re already here, let\'s go shopping."
Ethan didn\'t find any problems with this proposal. But, before he accepted her invitation to go shopping, he shifted his attention to Mary and Sue, who were standing beside the table and waiting for them to finish breakfast.
"Did His Majesty or Lord Edmond mention anything about meeting us today?" Ethan inquired.
"Not that I know of," Mary replied. "I\'m sure that they will be waking up a little late today because the party lasted until dawn."
Ethan nodded his head in understanding.
Since they were free from scheduled meetings today, he decided to accompany Nicole around the capital in order to buy souvenirs for the members of his Manor, as well as his lovers in the academy.
