Husband and Wife Should Live Together!

The nurturing bond of ten years was gradually severed by these words, as sharp as a knife.

Lora immediately hung up the phone and blocked Mrs. Sharp's number.

This way, Mrs. Sharp wouldn't be able to transfer the star coins back.

As Lora looked at her reflection in the glass window, memories flooded her mind. She recalled the time when Mrs. Sharp adopted her from the orphanage, she truly felt happy.

She had been abandoned at the doorstep of the interstellar orphanage since she was a child, without any clues who her parents were.

Finally, she had a home and parents.

Little Lora had always been cautious, striving to excel and not disappoint Duke Sharp and the others.

Even when Silvia returned, her role as a substitute became obsolete.

"Lora, from now on, you are on your own again."

Marcus's handsome face flashed through her mind. Lora chuckled self-deprecatingly and shaking her head.

What was the point of thinking about him?

Their marriage would definitely be annulled.

At that moment, Annie knocked on the door and entered.

She was surprised, "Lora, you're actually living in such a cramped double room? It's so small, it can't even accommodate a person! Have you really been kicked out of the Sharp Family?"

Children from noble families like them lived in luxurious single suites, and only students from those remote planets would stay in such a cramped double room.

Lora remained expressionless and was about to close the door.

Annie quickly said, "Wait, I have something to tell you! Is it true that Cole's rutting period coincided with Silvia?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Looking at Lora's expressionless face, Annie awkwardly tried to console her, "Cole is just a scumbag. You don't have to be so upset. It's often said that if a man doesn't work out, you can just kick him to the curb, and the next one will surely be better!"

Lora smiled, "I understand you came to comfort me."

"I didn't come to comfort you!"

Like a proud little cat, Annie turned and left.

Lora watched her figure and smirked.

Lora was aware of the forum posts, but she remained calm because she never cared about Cole.

It was the Sharp and Yonng families who arranged the marriage between them.

They didn't favor Lora initially.

She was just an adopted daughter of the Sharp Family, not a true noble.

However, due to Duke Sharp's reputation and the mutual interests of both families, Cole agreed to the engagement with Lora.

But later, Silvia returned and spent the rutting period with Cole.

The Sharp Family's attitude was definitely more favorable towards Silvia, so the Yonng Family went along with it and agreed to the marriage.

The marriage negotiations went smoothly because everyone was delighted, except Lora.

While the adults were chatting, Silvia and Cole walked into the mansion's garden, turned a corner where no one could see them, and Silvia playfully wrapped her arms around Cole's arm.

"It's great, Cole. We can get married in two months."

"Yes."

Cole loved Silvia's coquettishness the most, but today, he suddenly remembered the incident at the Middle Restaurant when Lora poured soup on him.

He looked around, "Why haven't I seen Lora today?"

The smile on Silvia's face froze for a moment, then she said with a hint of grievance, "Lora is angry with me. She has been staying at school and not coming home these days."

Upon hearing this, Cole felt inexplicably relieved.

It seemed that Lora was still upset because she liked him, which was why she was angry with the Sharp Family.

He smirked, feeling quite pleased with himself, "Who does she think she is to be angry? Originally, I was supposed to marry the Sharp Family's daughter, so it should be you. She's just your adopted Lora."

"You are right, but I still don't want Lora to be angry with me. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have appeared by your side back then..."

"If you hadn't appeared by my side, would you have let me find someone else during my rutting period?"

"Please don't..."

Jim happened to pass by and overheard their conversation.

His brows furrowed tightly.

Cole was truly disgusting.

If he didn't like Lora in the first place, why did he agree to the engagement?

With an engagement with Lora and then spending the rutting period with Silvia, how could such an unreliable person bring happiness to Silvia in the future?

After the Yonng Family left, Jim returned to the living room and saw his parents sitting on the sofa.

He earnestly said, "Cole is unreliable. Are you really planning to let Silvia marry him?"

Duke Sharp frowned, "Why are you saying this, Jim?"

"Before Cole broke up with Lora, he made Silvia accompany him during his rut period. Either he lacks determination, or... he intends to have both of them!"

Mrs. Sharp quickly interjected, "I don't think Cole is that kind of person. Besides, he said he had no feelings for Lora. Jim, are you still defending Lora?"

"Yes, and that Cole..."

"That's enough."

Duke Sharp spoke sternly, his face serious.

"Silvia and Chen are in love. This engagement was arranged by the Sharp and Yonng families. As for Lora, where did she get so much money from? Has she taken a wrong path?"

Jim was taken aback, "What money?"

"A few days ago, Lora suddenly transferred 300, 000 star coins and then blocked me!"

In Alpha Planet, 300, 000 star coins were quite a lot!

Jim immediately disregarded everything else and turned around to call Lora.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Sharp frowned slightly as she watched her eldest son.

"Dear, do you think Jim is favoring Lora too much?" she asked.

Duke Sharp replied nonchalantly, "They have been siblings for ten years, so it's understandable that their bond is stronger."

"What about the 300, 000 star coins Lora gave..."

"We are preparing for Silvia's wedding, and there are many expenses to cover," he interrupted.

"All right."

If Lora knew that the money she returned to the Sharp Family was being used for Silvia's wedding preparations, she might feel disgusted.

No, perhaps not.

After her heart turned cold, she wouldn't care about whatever disgusting things they did.

Inside the dormitory at the Imperial University, Lora looked at her roommate in disbelief.

She was completely dumbfounded.

"Ninth Prince, didn't I tell you to come back in three days?"

Typically, during the rut of an orc's transformation, it lasts for three days.

During this time, they either take specific medication and stay at home or stay by their partner's side.

When Cole's rut came, Silvia accompanied him for three days.

But it had only been one day, and Marcus returned with his luggage, wearing the blue and white freshman uniform, followed by his adjutant, James.

"Lora, husband and wife should live together!" Marcus exclaimed.

Lora's mouth twitched. What the hell, a couple should live together? Are they really a couple?

No, according to Alpha Planet's marriage law, they were indeed considered nominal a couple.

Lora sighed and, thinking that she couldn't effectively communicate with Marcus at the moment, she turned to James, who was carrying the luggage, and said, "Is His Majesty aware Your Highness acting like this?"

James nodded. "The Empress knows, and she has no objections."

Lora retorted, "But he is still in his rut, lacking rationality. He should be staying at his own place during this time!"

James looked troubled. "The Empress has already agreed, and we have no choice. He relies heavily on you now."

Taking a deep breath, Lora glanced at the cramped dorm room, where the picky and disdainful prince with nine tails was looking around.

"Can I speak to the Empress?" Lora asked.

James was Marcus's subordinate, so he couldn't go against his orders.

But the Empress was Marcus's biological mother.

Would she really just hand her son over to Lora?

Lora had seen the gentle and beautiful Empress on the internet.

She should cherish and care for her only son, right?

James replied, "Let me consult with the Empress first."

A few minutes later, the Empress, Lynn Smith, appeared in the projection wearing an exquisite beige gown.

She smiled as she looked at Lora.

"You must be Lora. Indeed, as Marcus said, you are very beautiful."

Marcus leaned closer and said, "Right, Mother? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Lora was speechless and pushed the fox aside with a slap.

She greeted Lynn, "Empress, did you really allow Ninth Prince to stay with me?"

"Yes, you are husband and wife," Lynn affirmed.

"But we only got married due to gene. It was a misunderstanding, and I didn't even know that Ninth Prince was going through his rut. After it ends, he should dissolve our marriage contract," Lora explained.

Lynn remained patient.

After Lora finished speaking, she gently asked, "Lora, do you like Marcus?"
