chapter 70

A tickling sensation arose in his chest and it warmed his heart. Hearing that term somehow gave him the proof that Lucy belonged to him. And that sense of belonging fluttered his chest in an inexplicable happiness that he didn't understand, but which he felt it crystal clear.Eric tilted his head. "Why do you think that she is my woman?"Once again those words made him feel as if he had never gotten that angry in the first place. He strongly liked the feeling associated with being called Lucy as his woman.This is...is this what people call feeling happy? He wondered.Vicky said, "Boss, you personally came to my small base to save her and then you killed the leader and that businessman too because they hurt her. Isn't it because she is your woman?"Eric seemed in deep thought. "So doing these things makes her my woman?"Eric, who had no clue about how relationships worked, was curious to know this, especially since it concerned Lucy and him."Of course! Only a boyfriend would go this far to save his woman!"First he heard from Molly that Lucy and he were a couple because he kissed Lucy.And now Vicky also said that Lucy was his woman."So Lucy is my woman…" He was in a beautiful trance as he repeated those words.They furiously nodded."Get up."They immediately sprang to their feet.Eric said, "I will let this slide."Everybody widened their eyes in shock. The Mafia King never gave second chances. Even they had no hope of getting one from him, but felt they had to try at least once before dying."W-what?" He was in disbelief."En. I like it when you call her my woman.""..."Just because of that?"Luct also said not to punish you. So, I won't."Then Eric acted a little proud with a soft smile. "Since she is my woman, I should listen to her."Vicky's jaw dropped wide open.Are we being fed dog food? Wait. Am I seeing the Mafia King doting on a woman?He cried tears of joy."Thank you so much Boss! We are so grateful to you!""Yes Boss!" The others cheered too.Eric nodded. "But this is the last time. I won't tolerate this mistake again."They furiously nodded again."Convey this to all the other gangs unfailingly. Nobody will touch Lucy. She is my woman," there was a dangerous warning in his voice as he said the last sentence."Yes, Boss!"
