"Hmm...," Eric opened the glass door of the cake shop, "Come in, I'll treat you to the cake, and then we'll go and solve the storefront problem." ”

"I should have invited you to eat cake, but you forgot?" Serra walked into the store and asked the waiter for four different flavors of cake.

Eric pulled out a chair beside her and sat down, "Annahi just came looking for me. ”

Serra put the blueberry-flavored cake in front of her, she had expected it, but she still matched the appropriate surprised expression, "She borrowed the car to come to you." ”

"She came to give me money and told me you weren't coming." Eric replied truthfully, turning his head to observe her expression.

Sierra almost got stuck in her throat with a bite of blueberry cake, "Ahem." ”

Her eyes widened, and she said incredulously, "How could she lie?" ”

"She hates you." Eric gently wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth, "You have to be vigilant, you have to be careful in everything you do." ”

Serra pursed her lower lip and sighed lowly, "I don't know why she always likes to target me, but thank you for the reminder, I'll be careful." ”

Soon, the two cakes in front of her were finished, and she looked at Eric's plate again.

"You want strawberry-flavored?" He took advantage of the situation to push his share to her.

Serra graciously took her spoon and dug out a piece, "Just take this bite, I'm full." ”

Eric waited for her to finish, silently picked up the spoon where she had dug up, dug down the cake and ate it in his mouth.

Rather than seeing him as a problem, Serra thought it was a big step forward, and she smiled and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

"Hmm."

The sweet and sour strawberries are especially delicious with cream.

The delivery of the rent for the butcher shop was done quickly.

The boss happily greeted and left, leaving Eric looking at the empty shop, "I'll be hunting in the mountains for the next two days, and I probably won't come down to look for you." ”

Serra nodded, "I understand, you have to prepare the meat for the opening. ”

Eric closed the door of the shop, walked up to her, hesitated for a moment, and said, "About those recent rumors... I want to explain to you that it's not what you heard. ”

Sierra blinked, "Rumors? I haven't heard any rumors. ”

She has been so busy for the past two days that she can't take a break, and she really doesn't know what new gossip is coming out of the street.

Eric lowered his eyes and whispered, "About me... Pedal on two boats. ”

I haven't been on the street for two days, and all this gossip has been spread like this? And this kind of good thing...

Serra raised an eyebrow, raised her face and raised her voice, "You have two boats?" ”

"I didn't." Eric retorted, "That's fake, I've never done anything so immoral." ”

Serra felt as if she had been scolded, and she looked away from his face a little weakly, "So there must be rumors outside that you are hooking up with me and Annahi at the same time, right, otherwise how would you explain to me that you didn't send me to the gate of the manor last time you went down the mountain." ”

"I'm worried it's bothering you." Eric whispered, "I don't want you to get me wrong. ”

"Misunderstanding what?" She tilted her head.

Eric couldn't help touching her face, "I'm afraid you also think that I am stepping on two boats and not being friends with me anymore." ”

"Not friends? So what else can be done? Serra let him touch his face, and her soft voice was especially sweet in an empty butcher's shop.

Eric's hand touched the girl's lips, and his rough fingertips lingered over the wound that was about to heal.

"I don't know." Eric's voice was hoarse, "It's just... I want to say that it's not like it's out there, I've never done anything bad. ”

He couldn't control his mind at all, and he kissed Serra fiercely during the bonfire back and forth, her lips looking so seductive at the moment that he wanted to kiss them like that.

Probably hurt by the rubbing, Serra opened his mouth and bit his finger with her white teeth.

Eric instantly felt that his body was concentrated by electricity, and his fingertips tingled.

He lowered his head and gasped, "Serra..."

The action didn't last a few seconds before Serra pushed his hand away.

She stood on tiptoe in front of him, paused when she was about to kiss him, and the two breaths were entwined.

"It won't bother me, because it's a friend, so it won't bother, I just trust you, Eric."

She turned her head and finally imprinted the kiss on the boy's bulging Adam's apple.

The young werewolf boy was still misty until she said that something was wrong, and she was dyed with a heavy desire to kiss her.

The boy who knows how to restrain himself will one day explode into desire, and Serra only needs to wait for him to tear off the only layer of disguise on the surface of the two of them.

After the butcher's shop was settled, Serra hailed a taxi to Khalida's house in the evening.

As the daughter of the president of the bank, she sits alone on the street with a whole 17th-century Breton building, a product of the old century, with stucco walls and large square glass windows, which let in good light.

"You said you want me to help you buy the crew of the port to rent a ship?" Khaleda put down the teacup and said excitedly, "You're going to let that fish go?" So fast! ”

"Well, he almost killed two experts today, and they won't let him live until dawn." Serra said half-truthfully, "I can't charter a ship and buy the crew, can you help me?" ”

"Of course, I said I wanted to help you, and I'd love to!"

Serra consulted with her at Khaleda's house for an hour and made a plan, and it was exactly 7 o'clock in the evening when she arrived home.

At dinner time, the atmosphere at the table was terrible.

Annahi was nowhere to be seen, only Josie and Lizzie were sitting.

"Dad, is there a call from the hospital? Are the two experts okay? Sierra asked.

"Not out of danger yet." Lizzie replied, and when she was seated at the table, he added, "I intend to dismiss the Orion of the Robinson house." ”

Serra's hand with a knife and fork paused slightly, "You're because of the gossip in town?" They have been there for us for a long time. ”

"I don't want both daughters in the family to be entangled with a hunter, and if you are friendly with the Duke of Rosehill, don't have frequent contact with another Orion."

Serra was silent for a long time and put down the dishes, "I'm afraid no, Dad, he was the first friend I made here, and he was the savior who pulled me up from the sea." ”

She removed her chair and stood up, her gaze determined, "He saved me in the most critical moment, half of my life survived because of him, you are not qualified to choose who I contact." ”

"Serra! Don't forget your marriage! No nobleman could accept that his wife was close to Orion. ”

Lizzie was angry.

When he learns that Duke Rosehill, the richest duke in the kingdom of Lirenni, has a love affair with his daughter, he has to start worrying about her marriage and seize the opportunity to help the family rise to the top of their fortune.
