A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 3] Chapter 48

[Vol. 3] Chapter 48: Even the Small Ones Are Cute

If it were just a regular soak in the hot spring, it would be tolerable. Unfortunately, it happened while she was completely naked and at a suspicious moment…

Now, attempting to put her clothes back on, the casually thrown bathrobe had drifted off to a distance, out of reach. There was no time to retrieve it. At this very moment, Ifia felt like her luck had run out, and she was now entering an extremely difficult mode!

To make matters worse, as if finding Ifia not challenged enough, Amelia, who had been resting, suddenly opened her eyes. In the next moment, their eyes met, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes. Immediately, Ifia guiltily averted her gaze, slowly lowering herself into the water, feeling it gradually conceal her body. By the time it reached her chest, her entire face was flushed with embarrassment.

With a pair of black eyes filled with shame, she dared not look at Amelia, feeling like she could never wash away the embarrassment even if she jumped into the Yellow River!

Oh no, would Amelia think she’s a pervert! Wait, she can explain!

On the other hand, unlike Ifia, who was internally panicking, Amelia knew from the beginning that Ifia had ulterior motives. Half of Amelia’s shock was feigned, and the other half was due to Ifia’s current appearance. Watching Ifia’s face turn red from the steam of the hot spring, her porcelain-like skin taking on a hint of pink, like a sweet peach hanging high on the tree, ready to burst with sweetness at the slightest bite.

Especially because of the nudity, the waves on the chest swayed with the ripples, revealing the breathtaking scenery in full view, as if sending out an inviting yet dangerous signal. Amelia’s deep purple eyes flashed with a hint of red, and she pretended to look puzzled.

Shortly after, as she was about to speak to the quizzical-looking Ifia, they heard footsteps approaching. Immediately, Amelia reached out and pulled Ifia behind her.

“We’ll talk later.”

Allowing Ifia to hide behind a stone sculpture as a decoration, Amelia stood up from the hot spring at that moment. Due to Ifia’s previous suspicious behavior, the bathrobe’s waistband was missing, and the upper garment was pulled down, revealing the waves wrapped in black lace.

As she stood up suddenly, droplets of water couldn’t help but fall. She personally staged a scene of a tempting wet body. However, Amelia herself wasn’t concerned about her alluring appeal and didn’t intend to let anyone other than Ifia see her disheveled appearance. She casually redressed her upper bathrobe.

Directly destroying Ifia’s hard-earned achievement of more than ten minutes of effort. However, Ifia, who had already been arrested on the spot, didn’t care about these things anymore. She just kept thinking in her mind, trying to come up with a reason that could make people believe she wasn’t a nymphomaniac.

Ifia sneaked behind the decoration, her fair naked body hidden in the water, while her black long hair floated on the surface, resembling a black flower blooming freely. It was like an enchanting sea nymph, captivating everyone.

At this moment, Amelia had already reached for the bathrobe that had drifted away. As she looked up and saw Ifia with a troubled expression, seemingly pondering how to explain herself, Amelia couldn’t help but smile. Just as she was about to say something, Jessica and Austin also arrived at the hot spring.

“Miss Barlen!”

Not expecting to encounter Amelia Barlen in the hot spring, Jessica paused for a moment, then continued excitedly, “I didn’t expect to meet you here. May I ask where Ifia is?”

“She soaked in the hot spring for a while and felt unwell, so she went to rest.”

Aside from being gentle towards Ifia, Amelia had a cold and distant demeanor towards others. Even though Jessica had a good relationship with Ifia, she didn’t receive any special treatment from Amelia. Amelia only showed a friendlier side in front of Ifia. Once out of Ifia’s sight, she reverted to the cold and indifferent demeanor of a Duke’s daughter.

In response to this, Jessica didn’t find it strange. Instead, she considered it normal. Based on the information collected during her years of being a devoted fan and following Miss Barlen, she knew that Miss Barlen had always had such a personality. The recent changes were attributed to Ifia’s influence. Considering all the gathered information, it was evident that Ifia was valued.

Jessica thought it was a good thing that her little sister Ifia was so highly regarded by Miss Barlen. After all, Ifia was a commoner without a noble background and could easily be bullied by aristocrats. With the protection of Miss Barlen, Ifia’s safety was assured.

“Well, in that case, we’ll have to wait until she finishes soaking in the hot spring before finding her.”

Hearing that Ifia wasn’t around, Jessica felt a bit disappointed, but thinking about the imminent reunion, she dismissed any regrets and looked forward to sharing gossip after they met. Along the way, she had heard quite a bit of interesting gossip.

Feeling content, Jessica stepped into the hot spring. Knowing that Miss Barlen preferred to keep her distance, Jessica didn’t approach too closely. She selected a spot not too far away to enjoy the hot spring. The steam from the hot spring obscured visibility, allowing her to relax without worrying about others.

Compared to Ifia’s revealing bathrobe and Amelia’s intricate nesting-doll bathrobe, Jessica’s bathrobe was simple in style, prioritizing comfort. However, Austin, who followed behind her, chose a sultry and sexy bathrobe.

Frequent exercise had sculpted Austin’s figure, making her quite eye-catching in this bathrobe. She had already attracted the attention of many hot spring facility staff members, receiving quite a few approaches. While Austin might not be as conspicuous as Amelia Barlen, her overall appeal still aligned with the aesthetic preferences of the people of Taric.

Throughout the encounters, Austin received numerous confessions, leaving Jessica, who was nervous and wary, completely ignored—she didn’t receive a single confession. This left Jessica feeling frustrated, thinking that the aesthetic sense of the people in Taric was warped. Those small and cute figures were also adorable!

As Jessica’s frustration lingered, she noticed Austin behaving like a butterfly, not outright rejecting the advances of the staff members. Austin seemed to enjoy the attention, much to Jessica’s annoyance. Eventually, Jessica decided to ignore the situation and walked directly towards the hot spring pool, her steps heavy with anger, as if she wanted to leave craters behind.

Observing Jessica’s reaction, Austin remained unfazed, sporting a playful smile on her lips. Joyful glints sparkled in her emerald eyes. Not afraid of Jessica getting angry, Austin’s concern was that she might not care at all.

Now it seems that Jessica is not entirely disinterested in her, which means there might be an opportunity for development.

“Jessica, can I hug you while soaking in the hot spring?”

“Hmph, stay away from me, you scoundrel!”

Jessica tightly pursed her lips, pushing away Austin who tried to get closer. She felt that dealing with Austin’s frequent harassment, trying to become a heartbreaker, was a bit challenging.

However, a woman cannot outright refuse, she wasn’t going to give up.

While Jessica and Austin were engaged in their back-and-forth, Amelia returned to her original position with her bathrobe. This sight made Ifia, hiding behind the stone decoration, gleam with excitement. As long as Amelia put on her clothes, even if she was discovered, it wouldn’t matter. Amelia was just too good to her.

Due to the fear of being discovered, Ifia couldn’t speak up and could only secretly reach out, attempting to take the bathrobe from Amelia. However, she ended up not making contact but instead had her wrist grabbed.

This made Ifia raise her head in confusion, only to see Amelia smiling and exerting force, pulling Ifia in front of her, reaching out to embrace her tightly.
