Chapter 113: Bonfire Romance (2)
Adrian’s eyes flew open wide, wider than they’d ever been. Sula noticed his reaction and pinched his back. He understood it was all a ruse, a way for Sula to whisk him away from Amelia.
"I didn’t know the tribe followed such customs," Amelia smiled, letting go of Adrian’s hands. "But are you really engaged?"
Adrian cleared his throat as if agreeing with Sula. But Sula, in an attempt to make it look real, shoved herself between the two, sitting on Adrian’s lap.
"You want proof of our close relationship?" Sula scoffed, throwing her arms around his neck. "We won’t mind putting on a show for you if that’s what you want."
It was then Fenris decided it was enough and pushed Sula away, placing her head on Adrian’s lap instead. Sula was a bit taken aback by Fenris’s reaction, but so was Amelia. However, Adrian was glad Fenris acted when she did.
Things were getting a bit heated down there, and Fenris’s intervention brought Adrian some relief.
"I see... I hope you’ll have a loving and fruitful marriage," Amelia commented before leaving.
Once she was gone, Adrian offered Sula a hand, which she graciously accepted and got back to her feet.
"You should learn to control her better! EEK-!" Sula complained the moment she was up but hid behind Adrian when Fenris growled at her.
’What the hell is going on...’ Adrian sighed, instructing Fenris to lie down.
Fenris obeyed, but her eyes remained glued to Sula.
