There were also candid shots of her drinking water . +10 Free Coins Somehow , from whatever bizarre angle Calum had chosen , he had managed to snap the exact moment she tilted her head back to swallow - her eyes rolled upward , her features scrunched together as if they were all trying to crowd into the center of her face . And there were so many photos that they seemed endless . Emma forced herself to keep scrolling , veins throbbing faintly at her temples , until she reached the photos taken while she was asleep .

The moment she saw them , she thought her blood pressure was about to explode . The pictures recorded everything in unforgiving clarity - her slightly parted lips , and the glistening strand of drool at the corner of her mouth ... even stretched into a thin thread . Emma was so exasperated that she couldn't voice any words . Every shred of elegance she had ever maintained in her life had been completely destroyed inside these two men's lightcores . Corvin's photos might have been ugly , but at least they were still watchable .

Calum , on the other hand , had not only completely lost his sense of aesthetics - he had mass - produced them . Noticing the change in Emma's expression , Calum hurried to defend himself . " Emy , I really took good photos . " He pointed at the images on his lightcore . " Look at this one . Isn't it vivid ? The way your cheeks puff up when you eat - it's like a little chipmunk stuffing its mouth with food . Full of life . " Emma didn't think it looked good at all . All she felt was the vein at her temple throbbing harder and harder .

It had been a long time since she had been angry enough to feel the urge to curse someone's entire ancestry . Full of life , my a's! Emma took a deep breath and began tapping rapidly across the holographic screen - select , select all , delete , empty recycle bin . The entire sequence flowed smoothly , almost gracefully - yet every movement carried a chilling malice . Only after confirming that every last photo had been erased did the raging fire in Emma's chest finally subside , if only by half . With a cold expression , she tossed the lightcore back into Calum's arms .

" So you think puffed - up cheeks like a chipmunk are cute , huh ? " Huh ! Emma opened her storage band and took out her makeup kit , then slowly began walking toward Calum . Sensing the murderous aura radiating from her , Calum gulped nervously and instinctively tried to retreat . " E - Emy , listen , I can explain ... " " Don't move ! " Emma grabbed his collar and shoved him down onto the sofa . " You like taking pictures of me drooling in my sleep . right ? You think the way I eat is cute ? Even when I'm just drinking water , you manage to make it look abstract .
