Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 31 Beating The Cold-Hearted Woman

Halfway back to his room, Lothur felt his stomach rumbling and promptly got something to eat from one of the cafeterias for the subordinates of this organization.

He was not precisely a subordinate in Frost House. Still, since it was past cafeteria mealtime for the members of that family, he had had no other choice.

In any case, the food in this world was not bad. Even considering the choices available to the subordinates of this organization, it was already quite tasty for a young man coming from Earth.

Lothur did not quite understand the reason for this. Still, he thought it was one more advantage related to spiritual energy.

Of course, he absolutely loved it.

After getting what he wanted, Lothur continued back to his room while eating some snacks on skewers.

All he wanted right now was to get to his room, take a cold shower, and then lie down on his bed to recover his tired body.

With this, he would waste no time sitting down somewhere to eat and was just doing this while returning to his room.

...

After some time, Lothur finally entered the corridor where his room was, having already finished his meal.

However, when he got close to his room, he immediately saw a woman leaning against the side of his bedroom door, looking in his direction with an angry expression.

'Viktoria? What does she want now?' He frowned, finding it a pain in the ass to have to deal with this woman right now.

In other situations, he would interact with Viktoria with pleasure, but he wanted to rest right now. With that said, all he did not want at this moment was to have to deal with the problems of this family that he had inherited from his predecessor.

"Tsk!"

'I have almost no advantages here, and I still have to deal with the negatives.' He sighed when he finally got close enough to her to 'feel' the chill of that woman's personality.

"Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?" She asked just after he reached her side and stuck a key in the door lock.

"Next time, you might want to let me know beforehand to ensure you won't waste your time waiting for me." He replied dryly before walking into that small room.

Seeing him walk in there without bothering to invite her, Viktoria narrowed her eyes but said nothing about this behavior. Instead, she followed him until they were alone in that tiny place.

Viktoria looked down at his sweaty clothes and smelled a distinctive scent coming from him. "Where were you? Why are you all sweaty?"

Lothur ignored her and then began to remove his clothes, heading toward the bathroom. "What do you want, Viktoria? I'm sure you didn't come all this way to ask me about this." He turned to her, already shirtless, being only in his trouser.

"You..."

Noticing his behavior, Viktoria almost lost her composure, shocked to see a Lothur so oblivious to her. But more than that, what attracted her attention the most was this young man's physical condition.

He was not necessarily muscular. But as Viktoria watched him, she readily realized that he seemed to have much more muscle than the night before when doctor Snee had treated him.

For comparison purposes, the difference in Viktoria's view of Lothur's physique was like comparing the body of a thin person before and after three months of gym and diet.

Since this had happened overnight to a mere mortal, she could not help but pay attention to Lothur's body.

But with her strong will, she soon suppressed the doubts in her mind. "Lothur, what do you think you are doing taking off your clothes in front of me? Are you trying to provoke me?"

"Provoke you? I'm not interested."

"I just want to take a shower to ease my current situation." He said as he removed his underwear, standing in just his underwear in front of her. "If you have something to talk to me about, do it while I'm in the shower..."

"If you want to talk eye-to-eye, I don't mind sharing the shower with you." He laughed, finally stepping into his bathroom but leaving the door open for her.

"You..." Her eyes opened wide as her hands closed tightly. 'What's wrong with him? Why this behavior all of a sudden?'

'He's never done anything like this before!'

'Is this little bitch Annaliese told me about giving him that much confidence?'

"Tsk!"

She then got right to the point as she leaned against the wall next to the bathroom door in that room. "Lothur, my sister told me she saw you with a woman earlier today. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Lothur's mouth opened in realization as he felt the cold water from his shower slowly refreshing his body.

'So that's it...'

He then replied. "That's right. I was with another woman earlier."

"Her name is Elke."

"What?" Viktoria almost stormed into the bathroom in anger, shocked that he was so transparent with her even to say his mistress' name.

"Are you serious? How can you admit it so openly? Don't you feel ashamed, Lothur?"

"What is there to be ashamed of, Viktoria? You've already made it very clear of the relationship we have, so why should I worry about it?" He said amidst the sounds of dripping water.

"So, unless you are thinking of changing our relationship, you can forget about the idea of me not bonding with others..."

He was about to state his intentions when she walked into that bathroom red with anger, looking in the direction of his face. "You can't do that! I forbid it!"

"Is that so? How are you going to do that?" He challenged her.

"Lothur!"

"Don't play games with me. I can lock you in your room if you don't obey me!"

"Is that so? Then I guess you'd better tell your mother that I will no longer be able to attend the academy she went to so much trouble to enroll me in." However, he did not back down, demonstrating to her that he was willing to follow through with his ideals, regardless of what she thought.

And seeing how he was looking at her, Viktoria shivered with anger, feeling this furious for the first time in her life.

She genuinely did not mind him going out with other women as there were no feelings in their relationship. But hearing and seeing his ways, she had felt that she could not allow him to continue doing what he wanted so easily.

However, she did not know how to force him to obey her words. After all, she could not go against her mother's plans nor use her strength against him, or worse things could happen for her and her family.

After thinking about all this, her mind was a mess, and she did not even realize that she was practically standing next to the shower where her husband was totally naked.

After a moment of silence, Lothur decided to say something. "Viktoria, publicly, I will act as your husband. But in other situations, I will be with other women."

"Then you'd better get used to the idea that I won't abstain from this."

"That cannot be negotiated."

"Tsk!"

"Bastard!"

"Aren't you ashamed to say that to me?" She watched him dry himself with a white towel, still standing beside that spot where the shower was. "Regardless, since we are husband and wife, your decisions still affect me, even considering our unusual relationship."

"Lothur, you can't think you can do everything you want in a relationship like this!"

"So, what do you want?" He stepped out of his shower area, using the towel from before around his waist.

As she came face to face with this tall, attractive young man, Viktoria avoided watching Lothur's body, looking directly into his silver eyes. "You need to talk to me regarding who you want to date before you do anything like that."

"Plus, you can't do that in public, as happened today!"

"That is careless and will tarnish our family's reputation."

"Is that so?" He looked at her as they stood only thirty centimeters apart, "I can do that."
