Goddess Conquest System: Reboot of Desire

Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Emma’s Cover-Up

However, this time, Evan didn’t regret it, nor did he plan to trigger another social death restart.

He knew that sooner or later, the layer between him and Emma had to be broken.

Emma would eventually have to face the fact that he was her brother-in-law.

Although his bold move just now had dropped their intimacy back to 69 Familiar (a full 20-point decrease), Emma now clearly understood his feelings.

Moreover, that was her first kiss. That kiss had likely planted a seed in her heart!

Intimacy could be slowly rebuilt, but this crucial hurdle had to be crossed. He might not get such a good opportunity next time.

As long as Emma didn’t completely reject him, he would only have more and more chances!

After all, they lived under the same roof. There would be plenty of times when they were alone together!

As the saying goes, prolonged intimacy breeds affection. Evan refused to believe that if Emma could reject him once, she could reject him twice, or three times!

*Click click click...*

The sound of the garage door opening rang out. Evan quickly checked his watch. Without realizing it, it was already past 5 PM.

His mother-in-law and Sophia had returned home one after another.

Evan went downstairs a little nervously. He secretly glanced toward Emma’s room, feeling anxious.

He had enjoyed the moment, but if Emma couldn’t accept what happened and told her parents or Sophia out of guilt, then he would be finished!

If it weren’t for the system’s social death restart ability, Evan wouldn’t dare face Emma or the rest of the family right now.

Just thinking about it made him feel nervous and excited at the same time.

Emma’s bedroom door was tightly closed. Evan listened for a while but heard nothing. He walked downstairs with a heavy heart.

Based on Emma’s personality, he could probably relax.

Emma cared a lot about her reputation and dignity. She was also timid and soft-hearted.

If she told anyone about this, it would ruin Evan, but it would also be extremely humiliating for her.

After all, she had been the one who let it happen.

"Wow! Honey, what happened to you today? You look so handsome! Today... you seem like a completely different person. You suddenly look so much more attractive!"

As soon as Evan walked downstairs, Sophia looked at him in surprise, clearly amazed by his new outfit.

Evan looked down at himself and remembered he was wearing the new clothes Emma had bought for him.

He had to admit, Emma had great taste. The new casual outfit made him look much more spirited.

Plus, he had just taken Emma’s first kiss and gained +5 Appearance points. It was no surprise that Sophia said he looked more handsome.

When he looked in the mirror earlier, even he thought he looked noticeably better.

"Oh? Really? You like this style? If my wife likes it, I’ll buy a few more sets of casual clothes like this," Evan said playfully, winking at Sophia and striking a pose.

"Huh? When did you buy these new clothes?" Sophia suddenly noticed that Evan’s outfit was completely new and different from his usual style.

"Ah? I bought them today. No one was home to cook, so I went out with..." Evan tried to answer naturally.

In truth, he was panicking inside.

This was his first time cheating on his wife. He instinctively felt guilty.

After all, he had just done something wrong with Emma. Pretending to be natural right now was difficult.

He was also hesitating whether he should tell Sophia he went out with Emma.

"Evan, you didn’t know I was home? You went shopping without me? How could you! I had to order takeout all by myself!! That’s so mean!"

Just as Evan was struggling with what to say, Emma suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs. She walked down naturally while speaking.

Evan was stunned for a second, then immediately understood — Emma was covering for him and reminding him how to answer.

From her tone, she clearly wanted to hide the fact that they had gone out together.

"Ah? Emma, you were home? I didn’t know! I thought you went out with Mia..." Evan turned around and looked at Emma awkwardly.

What surprised Evan was that Emma’s intimacy had already recovered! And it was even a little higher than before the drop!

[Current State: Nervous, covering up, lying, scared, guilty]

[Intimacy: 91 (Close)]

It went back to 91?

How?
