Chapter: 1175

He learned that because he wanted to be prepared in case of any crisis. Carolyn knew ahead of time that even under her protection,

Victor would find himself in danger one day. She pushed him to learn more skills so that he would at least have a better chance to survive in case of an emergency.

“Alright.” Pouting, Shelia continued to focus her gaze on the burning flames.

Out of the corner of his eye, Victor caught a glimpse of Shelia's profile and the dust that rested on the tip of her nose. He stretched out a hand to wipe off the dust.

Shelia was startled and turned to look at Victor with a blank expression.

When Victor looked straight into Shelia's eyes, he started to feel a little embarrassed. He retracted his hand, looked away, and explained,

"Your nose has dirt on it."

"Is that so?" Shelia went ahead to rub her nose with the back of her hand.

"And what about now? Is it still dirty?"

"No," Victor said, glancing over at Shelia.

"Good." Shelia smiled.

"Van, what else did you learn other than roasting meat? I want to learn too. Can you teach me?"

“Why do you want to learn this?"

"In order to survival," Shelia said casually. But Victor felt sad upon hearing that.

"Is the meat ready to be flipped? It's on the verge of being burned."

Shelia pointed out.

Upon recall by Shelia, Victor saw a small burn on the meat's exposed side when he looked at it closely. He flipped the meat over while he was still thinking about what she just said.

He had second thoughts about whether or not to ask her about it. It was, after all, Shelia's own business.

Shelia, on the other hand, didn't seem to take it seriously. She asked, “Will you please teach me?"

"Hmm," Victor said after a while.

"Is that a yes?" Suddenly, Shelia's eyes glowed, and she broke into a grin. Her two dimples, meanwhile, became much more stunning.

Victor nodded, "Okay."

Shelia grinned broadly as she said, "Thanks so much, Van. You are the kindest individual I've ever encountered, except for my caretaker in the orphanage."

"Orphanage?"
