Without a word, Draven gripped Rinus' collar as if he was clutching onto a limp rag doll and gazed indifferently at Rhea's vanishing back. While he appeared disinterested on the surface, he couldn't suppress his inner thoughts. He pondered how Rhea, a person without any noble mannerisms, could be of noble birth. She conducted herself like a thug, lacking any trace of delicate and refined conduct, even in the way she walked.
Rhea whispered words of apologies to her cousin, then with a firm voice, she said, "I've told you earlier that I have no intentions of hurting Rinus, but yet you were hell-bent on taking my life. You even dared to hurt my partner!"
At the sound of his words, Rhea was stunned, and she widened her eyes in disbelief. "What? Can't you just return to your dragon realm and get corrupted there instead of staying here and causing us to bear the brunt of it?"
"Aiyo~ Someone can't respond to me, tsk tsk tsk," exclaimed Leslie. Her smiling lips had a subtle hint of smirk, "Yes, CEO Xu? Where should we go now?"
"I remember that time you sulked with her because she couldn't come to meet you. She was busy shooting ah. Oh, you also forced her to be your pretend-lover at a banquet. She got harassed by your admirers. I can write an entire book of your so-called love pursuits."
"Do you wanna me recite what have you done? You kept chasing Violet even when she hated you. You did everything to have her look at you. If not for your wealth and handsome look, you'd be in jail oh."
Leslie mentioned that her hunger and sleepiness would come later than normal humans but, Calix was still worried. He didn't want to return home to the starving soul of his newly wedded wife.
Thus, a human and a soul headed upstairs. The entire mansion was shrouded in the tranquil silence of the night. The lamps of the hallways brightened their paths.
At the mention of Charlene's parents, Leslie felt a pang of pain in her chest, reminding her of sorrow. Frowning, she wondered why sadness washed over her own feelings.
"Hurm... My wife is pretty. Is this what people call a delicate and soft beauty? Not the striking and glamorous one. Like spring water? Or, like the moonlight?"
Finally, a book where the playful side character is the ML 😌
If the male lead Xander was a walking ice statue, exuding coldness and aloofness to everyone, Calix was a ball of playful sunshine. The stark contrast in their personalities was not an obstacle to deepening their relationship.
