The Obsessive Male Leads Want to Eat Me Alive Chapter 60

Annette lowered her eyebrows and said,

“What do I do? I'm sorry I'm late, so I'll buy you lunch.”

“No, my lady.”

“After emphasizing not to be late, the late person should buy some food, right? And,”

She asked him to wait for a moment, then quickly got a basket from the fruits and vegetables market next to the clock tower and placed it in his arms.

“―Mr. Kine needs to put in some effort today!”

Kyle looked down at the basket for a moment, then put his palm on his chest and smiled.

“I am really happy. That I can do something for the lady.”

Annette thought he seemed very sincere. Is he a kind person who enjoys serving others?

'He's really gentle.'

It was 100 points as the bread lover's shuttle.

“Then let's go!”

“Yes.”

All the lovers headed to the downtown area on the right, but they vigorously moved towards the food market.

The sky flaunted the sunny weather and shone a dazzling sunshine everywhere.

Annette, who was walking with a small basket in her arms, recited a list of things to buy today.

Kyle took the list very seriously, as if it were items to save 100 lives.

They first bought lemongrass, rocket, and basil, then stopped by a stall full of fresh fruits.

“Lady, do you buy fruits here?”

“No.”

Annette covered her mouth so that only he could see it, and lowered her voice.

“It's expensive here. Jake's fruit shop over there is cheap and good.”

Her eyes were widened mischievously as she flicked her thumb, pointing inward.

Kyle stopped himself from laughing out at her cute expression.

It wasn't what he had imagined last night, but it was still a pretty enjoyable date.

Though it was unclear whether she would consider this to be a date.

Jake's shop was located in the innermost part of the market, and once they were in the vicinity of it, there was a subtle smell of freshness.

A lot of pretty fruits were piled up, and Mr. Jake, a hairy man, greeted them with a big smile.

“Haha, the owner of {Little Bakery} has arrived. There are many delicious fruits today, so choose them!”

“What is delicious today, Boss?”

“Are you looking for tart ingredients?”

“Yes!”

“Then, try this western pear that just came in. It's really sweet.”

“Can I taste it?”

“Sure.”

After showing the girl the ripe, yellow, gourd-shaped fruit, Mr. Jake sliced through its flesh with a rough hand (but very quickly, with a professional feel).

When she took a bite, the sweet and slightly sour juices abundantly wrapped around the tongue.

“Mmm…!”

It was delicious and Annette's eyebrows went up. She quickly took the fork and held out a bite to Kyle.

“Mr. Kine, you should try it too. it is delicious.”

She didn't seem to know how much the selfless act of feeding made his heart race.

He hesitated for a moment, then slowly tilted his broad shoulders and took a bite of the fruit with trembling lips.

“How is it, it's delicious? Right?”

Kyle covered his mouth and smiled, nodding his head softly.

Mr. Jake, who looked at them meaningfully, smiled and said mischievously.

“You're very affectionate, are you newlyweds? When did our bakery owner get married?”

'Ah, what do you mean, Boss!'

Annette panicked and pushed Kyle, who was standing really close to her. It was a swift gesture like a frog's hind leg.

“No, not newlyweds.”

“This person is a regular customer of the bakery who is helping with my shopping today due to circumstances. Right, Mr. Kine?”

But Kyle, who was still standing near her (he couldn't be shoved away because of his size), never explained anything.

He just stood there, not denying it.

Annette's face turned a little red.

“Haha! You two get along very well, so why is that?”

The hairy Mr. Jake laughed cheekily.

Annette glanced at Mr. Jake, who was making fun of her, before quickly returning to a professional appearance and picked up a pear.

Then she investigated the customers' tastes.

“Mr. Kine, imagine a tart with sweet cream on a crispy base, and topped with pears, wouldn't it be delicious?”

“Really… It sounds delicious.”

Annette grinned.

In response to the customer's reaction, the cool-headed self-employed person thought, “There will be no stock left”, and bought a basket of western pears.

After a shopping spree, the two bought ice cream according to their taste and were walking side by side.

Mine was lemon-flavored, and Mr. Kine's was chocolate.

Now, I only had to purchase a few more important ingredients.

Walking on a sunny street, basking in the sunlight, and taking a leisurely bite of sweet ice cream made me feel good.

But there was no conversation.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

The 'Mr. Kine' that I interacted with was a man who didn't talk much.

'You must be very shy.'

Whenever he occasionally whispered, he would tilt his broad shoulders closer, but when he fell, his cheeks were red for some reason.

We didn't even make eye contact.

'Hmm, let's do small talk.'

I looked up at the man who was quietly walking next to me and impulsively asked,

“Mr. Kine, why are you dressed so nicely today?”

For a moment, his eyes flickered.

“Ah, this is what I usually wear.”

Mr. Kine responded quickly, but I tilted my head.

'Not at all. It's definitely nicer than usual.'

Did he put a lot of effort into his outfit?

It looked like he had been thinking hard all night about what to wear, and finally came to a difficult decision.

I looked at him with a perplexed expression, but realized something and asked with a smile.

“Ah, do you have another appointment after shopping with me?”

Kyle gently licked the chocolate ice cream with his tongue, shaking his head slightly.

'So, was it just a day in which you wanted to dress up?'

I thought quietly and took a bite of the refreshing ice cream.

Anyway, it was fortunate that he was stronger than he looked.

I knew he had a hidden well-built physique, but I still thought of him as a square-rimmed glasses wearing nerd, a totally bashful nerd… 

Contrary to that image, he was carrying a heavy bag with ease.

'I should ask you more often.'

With a cheerful smile, I thought about how I could reduce labor costs even more.

Meanwhile, Kyle was staring at Annette.

Although he seldom made eye contact with her, his affectionate gaze always followed her when she looked elsewhere.

He often secretly smiled and laughed because she was so lovely.

The girl walking next to him was completely unaware.

“By the way, Mr. Kine, you must have bad eyes. Do you always wear glasses?”

“I only use it when I want to see things well.”

Although his eyesight was poor, Kyle did not wear glasses on the battlefield or on a daily basis. It was an act that originated from a cynical and cold heart that did not want to look closely at the dirty things of the world.

But whenever he went to the bakery, he kept his glasses on.

As he wanted to see a lovely person well.

'Why are you looking at me like that?'

I dodged his gaze for the first time. I was kind of embarrassed, hence I quickly changed the subject.

“Do you remember what's left on the shopping list?”

“Salami ham and bacon, dark chocolate for baking, whole wheat flour, and fresh eggs. We can buy three more batches.”

I opened my mouth wide. There were quite a few items, yet he remembered them all?

There were easily 15 more things. Besides, I only mentioned it to him once.

'Even this bakery owner is using my palm as a cheat sheet!'

“You have a good memory, Mr. Kine.”

The man quietly looked at the lady and smiled meaningfully.

“It's kind of like that.”

“As much as I need to remember.”

Annette was always at the center of that memory.

It had been like that since he was very young.

Annette didn't know, from the very first meeting of the two—

He was always the same.

When Kyle Winston was 9-years-old, he went to the subjugation battlefield with Circe, and was eaten by the magical beasts.

But it wasn't anything special.

The Winstons started educating their successors slowly at about the age of six, which meant early education on 'subjugation of beasts' and 'guild management'.

Of course, there were many heirs who died in the meantime.

If the child couldn't survive the education, then he wouldn't qualify as a Winston.

And in Bizet's thoughts, Kyle was extraordinary.

He couldn't have died.

“Be sure to find him, because he is still alive. He's a real Winston.”

It was a wonderful coincidence that Madam Mimosa went out that day and found Kyle.

A 9-year-old boy who had fainted with sticky digestive juices all over his body.

The boy had a dagger in his hand. He had torn the beast's belly.

The child's soul contained a tremendous amount of magical powers.

Madam Mimosa recognized the boy at a glance.

“I found a great child. He will be a great Tree.”

Kyle became a 'Tree' of the 'Forest'.

Ame: I think I've found my ideal type!! A pure, innocent, cute man!! Cuteness wins!! And, WHAT?? Kyle was once a Tree?? 

Tassie: HOLY SHIT PLOT TWIST!!!!! Unlike AME however, TSUNDERES ALL THE WAY MANNN
