EuropeNovelChapter 646:
Alicia looked into Alice’s eyes and reached out to touch the pendant around her neck. “Have you seen this
before?”
“I thought you didn’t want to sell it toback then. It turns out it was a gift for the beauty,” Alice said, her
words laced with jealousy as she glanced at Seventeen. He remained silent, rubbing Alicia’s head and asking her
to let him go.
Once Alicia released his arm, she watched Seventeen until he disappeared back into his bedroom.
“I'm sorry, cousin. Seventeen doesn't like to talk,” she said, feeling content despite the situation.
“It’s okay. | understand. I'll go first,” Alice replied with a smile, walking to the door, opening it, and leaving.
As soon as Alice left, Alicia headed to the bedroom, feeling compelled to ask about their past encounters.
Seventeen was changing his clothes when she entered. Upon seeing him naked, she covered her eyes but
peeked through her fingers. Though she had seen him many times before, she still felt shy.

Once dressed, Seventeen walked over to Alicia, took her hand, and kissed her. Lost in the moment, she hugged
him tightly, forgetting her original intention of asking questions.
As she leaned into Seventeen’s arm, her face flushed, and she dared not look at him. “I don’t know her. Some
tago, she cto my store to buy something and took a fancy to what you wore around your neck. | didn’t
sell it to her,” Seventeen explained, anticipating what Alicia was going to ask.
Alicia placed her hand on the pendant, recalling that Seventeen had personally made it for her. She had chosen
the design herself. Since that day, Alicia had visited him every day, claiming she was there to see her cousin, but
her gaze was always on Seventeen.
“Seventeen, | don't like the way she looks at you,” Alicia said, tilting her head to meet Seventeen’s eyes.
Recently, Alice had been around all the time, interrupting their conversations.
“Good girl, | will go out in a few days,” Seventeen reassured her, patting her back gently to ease her worries.
“Do you have a mission?” Alicia asked, sitting up to look at him intently.
“Yes, it's the last one. After that, | will quit and go wherever you go in the future,” Seventeen said, pushing her
hair back gently and kissing her on the forehead. He decided to focus on accompanying her from now on.
Alicia didn’t say anything but continued to gaze at Seventeen, afraid he might suddenly disappear. When they
first met two years ago, Seventeen had been on a mission, and she had barged in, nearly losing her life. Luckily,
he had saved her.

Tpassed quickly, and Seventeen had to leave. Alicia felt uneasy alone at home, and just as she was thinking
about him, the phone rang—it was Alice.
“Hey, what can | do for you, cousin?” Alicia answered, even though she didn’t like Alice; she had to keep up
appearances.
“Cousin, | heard from a friend that Seventeen is in danger. Do you know where he is?” Alice’s anxious voice came
through the line.
“Seventeen is in danger?” Alicia was shocked and couldn't believe Alice’s words. But she didn’t dare ignore
anything regarding Seventeen.
“Do you know where Seventeen is?” Alice pressed.
“I don’t know. When Seventeen is out on a mission, | can’t reach him at all.” Alicia replied, her heart racing.
Alice hung up abruptly. Alicia tried to call her back, but no one answered. Anxious, Alicia paced the room. After a
while, there was a knock at the door. Without thinking, she rushed to open it.
To her surprise, a sweet fragrance hit her senses, and then she fainted.
Alice observed the unconscious girl on the floor and a sly smile crept across her face. She had learned from a
friend that something had happened to Seventeen. As long as Alicia was handed over to that person, they could
exchange her for Seventeen. Alice planned to make Alicia anxious and unprepared.
Having cto search for Alicia, Alice had pretended to be at home, letting her guard down. She called her to
lure her out but hadn't expected to be deceived.
Alice summoned two people to help carry Alicia into the car, needing to hurry to exchange her for Seventeen.
However, Alice had never considered how someone could actually trade Alicia for Seventeen. After all,
Seventeen’s fate was too valuable.
