Soon, Area A's research institute was sealed off.
All the beastmen were returned to their original places, and those who had wandered for too long were sent to the beastmen's institute.
And because of this incident, Carley was severed from her father's family and faced legal consequences.
The research institute in Area A was reported by the media.
It was thoroughly exposed to the public.
The public expressed shock and anger, and many beastmen even sought to take revenge on Carley privately.
With everything settled,
I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
And soon, Lee's adoption agreement was completed.
It was Lee. "Lee! Look at what surprise I brought you!"
I eagerly opened the door, ready to share the good news with him.
But I found Alvaro sitting on my bed.
I was surprised.
He was blushing, looking shy, dressed in a butler outfit with a pair of fluffy fox ears.
Wearing those silver earrings, he looked especially indulgent.
This was the scene I once dreamed of.
But now...
It didn't seem as stunning as my snake fiancé.
Seeing me come in, he moved closer.
He was very close to me, swishing his beautiful fox tail.
He lowered his gaze and spoke in a gentle tone:
"Master..."
I was about to leave when he grabbed my clothing.
He looked at the adoption agreement in my hand, his eyes flashing with regret and apology.
He had a layer of mist in his eyes.
He begged me pitifully,
"Noelle, don't leave me, okay? I don't mind, I can serve you together with him."
His eyes were full of affection.
All of it was about me.
But now, I no longer cared.
I released his hand and shook my head.
"Alvaro, it's too late."
No one stays in place forever.
That passion and patience have worn away with each cold encounter.
They turned to dust, blowing away with a puff.
Just like the feelings between us.
I said calmly:"Don't come back again."
"I'll change the door lock code. Let's part ways, with the bridge being a bridge and the road being a road. Good parting, good scattering."
He despondently released his hand, feeling lost.
It felt like he had lost something very important.
But no matter how much he chased, he couldn't capture those moments he had ignored.
After a long while, he finally buried his face in his hands and cried.
Lee looked at me with a serious expression.
"You want me to wear this? No way."
I raised my voice slightly, "Are you sure?"
"Sure."
I waved my hand, "Fine, I won't force you."
"I'll call Alvaro right away, since he'll definitely be happy to wear it for me."
I observed his expression out of the corner of my eye.
I pretended to ponder.
"By the way... I haven't touched his fluffy tail yet. It must feel really nice!"
Upon hearing this, Lee's expression changed.
He actually knew about it the last time Alvaro came over.
He saw Alvaro in front of me wearing a butler outfit, commenting disdainfully and jealously, that annoying fox.
Upon hearing this...
He gritted his teeth.
He grabbed a set of high-end butler attire from the bed and went into the bathroom without a word.
I teased him from outside the door.
"Why so formal? You won't let me see you change? In the end, we'll have to be honest with each other anyway..."
The next second.
Lee emerged wearing the butler outfit.
I nearly had a nosebleed.
This is nothing compared to any fox spirit! It's simply a divine beauty!!
He sneered, slowly approaching me.
I accidentally fell onto the sofa, and he pinned my thrashing legs against his waist.
His voice was deep and husky:"Little one, it's your turn."
On the day of the engagement party.
All the big shots in the city gathered to give gifts to me and Lee.
He had successfully transformed.
Wearing a well-fitting suit, his figure was explosive, making everyone burn with desire.
Many socialites came up and brazenly assessed him.
Some even took out their phones, their eyes burning with the desire for his contact details.
Lee smiled and refused them one by one.
Then he hid next to me.
I pouted unwillingly, stood on tiptoe, and angrily kissed his cheek.
"Damn it, if I had known, I wouldn't have let you dress so nicely."
Lee's lips curved into a slight smile.
A low chuckle escaped from his throat.
"Feeling jealous?"
I turned around, facing away from him.
I remained silent and ignored him.
Lee rested his head against my neck, saying ambiguously.
"Don't be mad. Some things... I only wear for you."
My face flushed.
I quickly pinched his waist and gave him a sharp look.
"Don't say such things! There are so many people watching!"
He lowered his head, smiling without speaking.
He obediently followed behind me.
I didn't hear a word of the vows.
I only knew that Lee's eyes were full of me.
He held my waist, his left hand covering mine, our fingers interlocked tightly.
The warmth of our palms pressed together.
His gaze was deep.
"Noelle, we snake people only recognize one partner in our lifetime. Once we make a contract with a human, we will never betray them until death."
The engagement ring slowly slipped onto my ring finger.
"Noelle, I love you."
