Chapter 36 Be My Mate, Will You?
I took the meat like I was a flash. I took a mouthful bite from the meat, which remained nothing but bone and a little flesh on it. As I chewed on it, it was exactly how I had anticipated it—the taste was heavenly, rich, and mouthwatering.
"You like it?" the voice came again.
’Oh,’ that was when I realized that I hadn’t thanked the person yet. I raised my head, only to find the little boy I had saved earlier. I smiled nervously at him. ’Damn it, he just watched me eat like a hungry vulture!’
A warm pink hue crept onto my cheeks. "Thank you for the meat, it tastes delicious."
"I’m glad you like it. I can bring you more if you want," he beamed at me.
That was a good offer. Could I refuse such a tempting offer? I closed my eyes, inhaling deeply. "No, you shouldn’t. I believe that was your piece you handed to me. And besides, the whole meat must belong to someone."
The boy’s eyes drooped. "It’s true, the meat belongs to my mother, and the piece I gave to you belonged to me," he began to scratch his head nervously. "But I just wanted to thank you for saving me earlier. I might be dead now if not for you."
Seeing how cute he looked right now, I couldn’t help but ruffle his hair. "Your gratitude is well received by this lady here," I pointed playfully at myself, which made him chuckle at me.
"You look so pretty. Will you be my mate?" he asked with sparkling eyes.
