Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 170

[19] (EP-170.1) Day and Night # 11

170 – Day and Night # 11

I asked what Narmi she wanted to do.

Narmi seemed to ponder for a long time, then shook her head alternately from side to side with an exaggerated feeling.

“What do you want me to do?”

Her response seemed to be more of a counter-question, perhaps giving herself a little more time to think. So, I calmly repeated my question.

“What does Narmi-nim think of me?”

I found it quite direct even as I asked the question. I didn’t think I had this kind of courage in me to ask something like this.

If it weren’t for the experiences I recently had with Elga and the “Casanova” job’s adjustments, I might have been a mess trying to get this out.

“I....”

Narmi sat on the bed, her feet nervously fidgeting. Her gaze was fixed on her toes, seemingly floating in the air with an empty feeling.

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?”

“That’s right. I don’t know what I want or what to do.”

Narmi was being passive. It was then that I remembered Narmi was an innocent woman with no prior male experience.

Strictly speaking, her twin sister, Mirna, had lost her innocence first. But as Narmi, she probably had no knowledge of that.

In other words, for Narmi today, all of this was her first experience. It was only natural for her to be passive and defensive.

I, too, had drunk alcohol so my mind wasn’t the clearest.

With most of the stage, actors and other requirements being met, seducing Narmi was as simple as pulling the curtains down.

Nevertheless, I wanted Narmi to express her will on her own. This way, Narmi would have no regrets.

So, I decided to wait patiently. Because during my time with her sister Mirna, I lacked composure and ended up being inconsiderate.

After all, I was also growing in my own way.

“I....”

Then Narmi slightly opened her mouth.

“I haven’t really made choices for myself.”

“Is that so?”

“I’ve just been following my sister’s words all this time. Maybe this situation is my fault. I wasn’t open with her and didn’t share my story.”

Narmi spoke in a soft, somewhat composed voice.

“Unnie probably had her reasons for doing what she did. But now, I also need to think for myself, act on my own, and take responsibility. I’ve realized this recently.”

“Responsibility?”

“That’s right. Freedom requires responsibility. There is a lot that needs to be done.”

Narmi’s crimson eyes looked at me with determination. The look in her eyes was different from the fatigue of the heavy workload of the past few days.

Narmi had grown during these few days as well.

“I’ll have to take responsibility for my choices. I’ll bear that burden. I think that’s how it’s supposed to be. Becoming an adult means taking responsibility.”

To become an adult-.

For the past few days, after serious consideration, Narmi seemed to have reached a conclusion of her own.

“In that sense, Theo, make me an adult.”

‘Make her an adult.’

It was a somewhat ambiguous expression. Nevertheless, it was a satisfying response to the clear answer I had been waiting for.

However, I hesitated to act on Narmi’s request.
