Villain Ch 827. A Man Between Two Girls [Part 2]
Emma perked up slightly at the mention of shopping, though her energy levels seemed dubious. "I’ll be fine once we get there," she insisted, though her voice lacked its usual vigor.
Azura, too, seemed to find a second wind at the prospect of shopping. "Yeah, a little retail therapy will perk us right up," she said, though she didn’t sound entirely convinced.
Allen leaned back in his seat, feeling a bit skeptical. He could already imagine them wandering from store to store, their initial excitement giving way to fatigue. But a promise was a promise, and he was determined to see it through.
Allen, who had chosen the middle seat between Emma and Azura to keep the peace, took a deep breath and sipped the soda in his hand. The cold beverage was refreshing, cutting through the remnants of the beach’s heat. He had hoped that sitting between them would prevent any more arguments, and so far, it seemed to be working. His other hand held his phone as he checked the photos he had taken that day.
Most of them were snapped with his phone camera as he wanted to test its quality and sharpness. To his satisfaction, the results were impressive, capturing the essence of the beach with vivid clarity.
A smile appeared on Allen’s lips as he swiped through the photos, feeling a sense of accomplishment. It had been a productive day, despite the short duration of their beach trip. Just then, he felt a weight on his shoulder and turned to see Emma’s head slumped against him. Her eyes were closed, and her breathing was deep and even.
Allen gently asked, "Emma, are you okay?" expecting some kind of response, but she remained silent, still leaning on his shoulder. He tilted his head slightly to check if she was crying or something, but he found her fast asleep. Allen stared at his younger sister’s sleeping face for a few moments, noting how peaceful and "tame" she looked compared to her usual energetic self.
She seemed almost fragile in her slumber.
He thought about waking her up but didn’t have the heart to disturb her rest. Instead, he reached down to retrieve a small pillow from the storage compartment under the seat, hoping to make her more comfortable. But as he did, he felt another weight on his other shoulder. He glanced to the side and saw that Azura had also fallen asleep, her head resting gently against him.
Allen sighed, feeling a mix of amusement and resignation. ’That’s why they’ve been so quiet,’ he thought. The realization made him smile, though he found it strange how they had both crashed so suddenly. Just half an hour ago, they had been full of energy and excitement about the beach and shopping.
He settled back into his seat, careful not to jostle either of them. With Emma on one side and Azura on the other, Allen found himself acting as their human pillow. It was a touching moment, but also a bit inconvenient. He had no choice but to sit still and let them rest.
Allen’s thoughts drifted. He wondered if the combination of the heat and excitement had worn them out more than he realized. It was also possible that their argument and the subsequent truce had drained their energy.
On the other hand, Emma and Azura were not truly asleep; they were just pretending. It was Emma who started it first. She had pretended to be asleep because, deep down, she wanted to experience what it was like to lean on Allen. She had done it once before, but that was before she knew he was her brother.
Now that things were different, she found herself longing for that simple closeness again, but this time as a spoiled sister to her brother.
It was hard for Emma to think of Allen purely as her brother because she had always seen him as a man. These mixed feelings stirred inside her, creating a confusing blend of sibling affection and something more. It wasn’t easy for her, but she wanted to be closer to him—not just through playful banter or superficial interactions, but in a way that felt genuine and comforting.
She wanted to lean on him in silence, enjoy the view, and feel a sense of peace and connection.
Emma had been raised as an only child, and her pride was a significant barrier. Rather than openly admitting her desire for closeness, she preferred to achieve it through this act of pretend sleep. It allowed her to maintain her pride while satisfying her need for connection.
Azura, noticing Emma’s move, decided to join in. She wasn’t about to let Emma have all the fun. Besides, she wanted to see how Allen would react. So, she pretended to fall asleep as well, resting her head on his other shoulder. It was partly a playful challenge to Emma and partly her own desire to feel close to Allen.
They sat there, leaning against him and Allen glanced back and forth between the two of them. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. They had been so lively just moments ago, and now they were both out cold? It seemed too coincidental. But their breathing was steady, and they appeared genuinely at rest. He shrugged off his suspicions and decided to let them be. Your next chapter is on novelbuddy

Meanwhile, Emma savored the feeling of leaning on Allen. She felt his warmth and strength, and it brought a sense of comfort she hadn’t realized she craved. She wanted to be close to him in this simple, unspoken way.
Azura also found a surprising sense of comfort in leaning against Allen. Though initially motivated by a bit of playful rivalry with Emma, she couldn’t deny the feeling of security and warmth that Allen’s presence provided. It was strange for her too—trying to balance seeing Allen as a cousin and acknowledging her feelings for him. But for now, she let herself relax and enjoy the silent support.
Allen, meanwhile, was lost in his thoughts. He looked out the window as the cityscape continued to blur by, feeling a strange mix of amusement and affection. He had always been independent, often alone with his thoughts and pursuits. But now, with Emma and Azura leaning on him, he felt a sense of responsibility and connection that was both comforting and daunting.
