[She'd probably feel odd hearing that a human admires her regardless, but coming from someone as kind as Jude, she feels... guilty. She doesn't deserve his admiration, not when she's done what she's done. Sure, she has no intention of sharing her past or repeating any of those events, yet knowing what she's done, she thinks she's the last person to deserve something like admiration from anyone, let alone Jude.
For the first time, she seriously considers whether or not keeping what happened so tightly under wraps might be deceiving. She doesn't think it's necessary for anyone to know when she knows she'd never hurt 9S again, but she's also sure that Jude wouldn't say that if he knew the truth. Humans shouldn't admire androids when they're just trying to emulate them, let alone an android whose duty was to kill their partner over and over again.
Despite all the praise, and through no fault of his, his feelings hurt her.]
... I don't deserve your admiration. [Her tone is calm and even as always, the same as what's visible of her expression. Still, the words alone already say a lot.]
