Aiden Finnegan the Alchemist in Delcord novel Chapter 149

"I think you and Aiden should consider buying a house together. Have you ever heard the saying 'familiarity breeds affection?' When two people spend a lot of time together, they naturally develop feelings for each other. And Aiden has feelings for you. It's just that he's a bit scared at the moment," Karin suggested.

Upon hearing this, Angelina's eyes lit up, and she responded, "That's not a bad idea, but what do you mean by saying Aiden is scared?"

"He's afraid that your family will treat him the same way as before. Let me tell you, once a man's heart is hurt, it takes time to heal," Karin explained seriously.

Looking at Karin's serious expression, Angelina suddenly laughed and said, "You seem to understand men very well!"

"I don't claim to understand men. Don't forget, I studied psychology in college and graduated with top grades," Karin said proudly.

"I did forget about that." Angelina nodded.

Karin leaned closer to Angelina and said, "And also, if you can't wait, there are two other methods."

"What methods?" Angelina asked eagerly.

Karin pretended to be mysterious and whispered something in Angelina's ear.

After hearing Karin's words, Angelina blushed and said irritably, "You don't even have a boyfriend, and you're talking so explicitly."

"What's the big deal? You're the one who’s shy," Karin said with a frustrated tone. "Let me tell you, with your great figure, this man..."

"Ah!" Karin was interrupted. She didn't expect Angelina to reach under her clothes and start tickling her.

"Oh my, Angelina! I won't talk about it anymore! Spare me!" Karin quickly begged for mercy.

Karin had always been afraid of being tickled, and Angelina knew this weakness of hers.

After playing around for a while, they both breathed a sigh of relief. In the midst of their antics, one button on Karin's pajamas came undone, and a wooden pendant slipped out of her shirt.

Curious, Angelina looked at the object and asked, "Karin, when did you start wearing this kind of thing?"

"I was just bored before!" Karin saw the exposed pendant and quickly stuffed it back under her clothes.

"It’s a religious amulet, right? When did you start believing in Buddhism?" Angelina noticed Karin putting the pendant back into her clothes but didn't pay much attention, and she asked with a smile.

Karin seemed reluctant to continue this topic and quickly said, "I’m just wearing it for fun."

"By the way, Angelina, have you thought about what I said earlier?" Karin changed the subject and asked.

Angelina thought for a moment and said, "Let's go with the flow, but buying a house is something worth considering. If we continue living with my family, I'm afraid that one day, my mom will cause a misunderstanding again!"

"Exactly!" Karin nodded.

The two of them had another conversation before going to sleep. When Angelina said, "Let's go to sleep. Tomorrow, I still need to discuss company matters with Zachary," a hint of fear inadvertently appeared in Karin's eyes, but she managed to conceal it well.

Perhaps Angelina was tired from the day, as she fell into a deep sleep after that.

Karin stared at the ceiling above, not daring to fall asleep. It was not so much that she had insomnia but rather that she feared sleeping.

However, human energy was limited, and the medicine Aiden had given Karin also had a calming effect, so it didn't take long before Karin fell asleep.

Just as Karin fell asleep, she entered a dream.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Angelina looking anxious.

"What's wrong?" Aiden asked.

Angelina hurriedly explained, "Aiden, it seems like Karin is having a nightmare, but no matter how hard I try to wake her up, she won't wake up!"

Upon hearing this, Aiden immediately left his room and strode toward Karin's room with Angelina.

Upon entering the room, they saw that half of Karin's body was already hanging off the bed, on the verge of falling.

Aiden rushed forward and helped Karin onto the bed, taking out the needle pouch he always carried with him.

He retrieved a one-inch-long golden needle and inserted it on top of Karin's head.

As soon as the golden needle touched Karin's head, she stopped struggling and began to calm down.

Seeing Karin return to normal, Angelina quickly asked, "Aiden, what happened to Karin?"

"Karin didn't tell the truth this afternoon, so she's probably experiencing another nightmare!" Aiden furrowed his brow and said, "Angelina, did you notice anything unusual on Karin's body just now?"

"A religious amulet?" Aiden asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Angelina replied. "I'll show it to you."
