Chapter 239

No choice, Karl had to pat Ain's back to comfort her: "Don't worry, I'm fine, of course. Thanks to Admiral Kizaru's help, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get away so easily."

Keyword: Admiral Kizaru.

Ain hurriedly let go of Karl, turned to look at Kizaru, and said awkwardly: "Thank you, Admiral Kizaru."

"Really interesting! How long have you two been together?"

Ain said shyly: "Admiral Kizaru, no, no, we..."

Kizaru waved his hand: "No need to explain to me, I understand. Since that's the case, I won't disturb you two little lovers. Hmm~ youth is really good..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kizaru's figure dissipated, as if he had never appeared.

Only Ain and Karl were left in the room.

Karl wanted to say something, but a fair finger pressed against his lips, signaling him not to speak.

Then, Ain walked to the door of the office, looked at the corridor, confirmed that no one was there, closed the door, and locked it.

She walked to Karl's side, held his hand, and looked at him with misty eyes.

"Thank you for coming to save me today. What reward do you want?"

Karl's mouth curled up slightly: "What do you think?"

Ain blushed, stood on tiptoe, hugged Karl's neck, and pressed her red lips onto Karl's mouth.

It was very clumsy, and Ain's body was even trembling slightly... Just as Karl was about to go further, Ain hurriedly pushed Karl away.

"It's still daytime..."

"Hehe, you're right. I'll come to see you tonight. Isn't it your birthday in a few days? Then I'll give you your birthday gift in advance!"

"Yeah..."

Ain smiled shyly, her eyes full of tenderness.

At night, Karl walked into Ain's room with big and small boxes.

"Ain, these are the twin swords I specially asked someone to forge for you. They look good, right?"

"Yeah, as long as it's a gift from you, I like it..."

Karl grinned, took out an exquisite gemstone necklace from the gifts: "This is a pink gemstone specialty of the North Blue. It's very beautiful. Come, I'll put it on for you."

Pushing aside Ain's hair and putting on the pink gemstone necklace for her, the atmosphere also became pink...

The next day.

Karl walked out of Ain's room. In general, Ain was very satisfied with the birthday gift he bought. Of course, the gift was one part, and the person was another.

Their relationship also upgraded from classmates and colleagues to lovers.

After Karl left, Ain came out after a while, looking around like a thief, afraid of being discovered by acquaintances.

After confirming that no one was there, she walked into the base building as if nothing had happened.

"Good morning, Commander! You look so beautiful today! What cosmetics did you use? I'll have my wife buy some later."

Ain touched her face, showed a smile, and after a few simple pleasantries, walked into the base building.

"Knock, knock, knock~"

"Come in!"

"Karl, this is breakfast."

Karl touched his stomach seriously: "I really need to eat something. I was almost exhausted last night."

Ain glared at Karl angrily: "That's not true! It was clearly me who... Oh, so annoying! Eat it or not, it's up to you!"

Karl chuckled, took Ain's loving breakfast, and ate it with relish.

His eyes, however, were fixed on the newspaper, which reported the Navy's encounter with the Whitebeard Pirates yesterday.

"Sigh~ it should be quiet for a while now..." ===== CHAPTER 241 =====
