Chapter 690: Marry A Frost
"I’m going to marry a Frost when I grow up."
Caius, who had just popped a piece of popcorn into his mouth, nearly choked at Dora’s sudden declaration. His eyes widened in alarm as he processed her words. After all, the only Frost anywhere near Dora’s age was... well, him.
Seeing the scandalized expression on his face, Dora couldn’t help but roll her eyes in exasperation. "Relax," she said with a smirk, waving off his concern. "You’re safe. I’m your aunt, after all."
Caius blinked, staring at the girl in front of him as if she had suddenly grown a second head. She barely came up to his shoulder, and she was younger than him by a few years. He frowned in confusion, trying to make sense of what she was saying. "What are you talking about? How can you be my aunt?" "What are you talking about? How can you be my aunt?" he asked, his skepticism evident.
Dora huffed, clearly annoyed by his lack of understanding. "This is the problem with civilians," she muttered, crossing her arms. "They don’t teach you anything about lineage or family trees. Your biological mom was my half-cousin... which makes me your aunt. I was your aunt the day I was born!"
Caius stared at her for a moment before rolling his eyes. "Alright, alright, Auntieeee," he said, drawing out the word with a teasing grin.
Dora’s face scrunched up in displeasure as she immediately scolded him, "Don’t call me Auntie! It makes me sound old!"
Caius chuckled at her reaction, shaking his head as he popped another piece of popcorn into his mouth. "Whatever you say... Auntie Dora," he teased, knowing full well it would annoy her. This was fun! The mighty Dora had actually handed him something to tease her with on a platter.
He watched as she rolled her eyes in frustration, clearly deciding that ignoring him was the best course of action. Caius followed her gaze as it settled on her next target, which just so happened to be his Uncle Lucifer. His grin widened even further as he settled back into his seat, popping more popcorn into his mouth. This might actually turn out to be good entertainment and keep his mind away from the fact that his parents had actually sent him over because they wanted to have more time to themselves.
