Chapter 225: Chapter 225 I’m Willing!!!
Scarlett Jennings couldn’t understand how Samuel Chalmers suddenly decided he wanted to adopt a little Flood Dragon, but she still passed along the big guy’s decision to Dashiell.
Dashiell had been left in the rental apartment for three days, and from day one, he had been completely hooked on games, thanks to Lucas Jennings.
If Scarlett hadn’t shown up, he might have forgotten his true purpose for coming down the mountain.
But that didn’t stop him from freaking out when he heard Samuel wanted to adopt him.
"I accept!!!"
Dashiell nearly screamed as he jumped out of his chair, the excitement almost revealing his true form.
"I’ll let him raise me!!"
He spun around the room with enthusiasm,
"I saw you humans worship Immortal Foxes and Serpent Immortals, and I thought, I can be worshipped too! Plus I’m way stronger than those foxes and serpents! They can’t compare to me!"
"If I move into his house, will he prepare a nest for me? Do I need to bring my own nest?"
"Are we moving in today?"
"I told you he’d want to adopt me too. It’s all your fault we couldn’t be together sooner!"
Scarlett Jennings: ...
This scenario made her seem like she was breaking up a happy pair.
Oh well.
If Samuel was willing to adopt, that was good news for her.
Although she could use a contract to bind him, it would consume quite a bit of her own Spiritual Power. If she hadn’t encountered the Resentful Bone matter, she wouldn’t have chosen this.
Now leaving it to Samuel, Spiritual Energy wouldn’t be lacking, and since Dashiell had something to ask the big guy, he’d surely behave himself.
But before taking him there, Scarlett gave him a thorough briefing and set up a Prohibition beforehand to prevent him from revealing his identity or harming anyone.
Dashiell found it troublesome, but for the sake of successfully binding a golden partner, he readily agreed.
That afternoon, Scarlett Jennings sent him to the Chalmers Family.
Samuel Chalmers had asked the butler to prepare a room in advance, choosing a room in the eastern corner of the villa, and instructed them not to go near that area except for cleaning.
The room was a suite, equipped with everything he needed, even a few changes of clothes.
There was also a matching bathroom and bathtub in the room.
Dashiell got one look at it and was thrilled all over again.
"This room is so big! It’s bigger than the house Scarlett gave me! Look! He even made a white nest for me!"
Saying that, he jumped into the cool bathtub, curling himself into a ball at the bottom with contentment.
A satisfied Flood Dragon.
The accompanying butler: ...
Was utterly shocked but said nothing.
As Samuel wasn’t present, Scarlett saw that Dashiell seemed very pleased with his "new home," so she returned to the Jennings Family.
Returning from the third phase shoot, she had been so busy that she hadn’t had time to take care of Little Lovely. Now that she finally had some downtime before school started, Scarlett decided to groom him properly.
The villa was too big, so she decided not to search from room to room, and just called out from her fox’s den.
Sure enough, not long after, Little Lovely came trotting towards her, grinning from ear to ear while quite far away.
Scarlett only then noticed he still had the Diamond Crown and veil that Andrea Silva and the kids had put on him before.
It was clear he really liked it, especially the small veil that kept fluttering behind him as he ran.
Scarlett felt a bit exasperated, and when he got closer, she made a move to take off his crown.
But just as her hand touched the Diamond Crown, she heard Andrea Silva’s voice urgently calling out.
"Don’t take it off!"
She looked in the direction Little Lovely had come from and saw Ismeria Jennings, apparently having chased him all the way, her face flushed red from running.
Seeing Scarlett, her eyes habitually opened wide, but it lacked the hostility and antagonism of the past, replaced by a hint of nervousness.
Scarlett saw her, but she didn’t heed her words and took off the crown and veil anyway.
Ismeria, seeing this, stomped her foot in frustration, a little angry, "Didn’t I tell you not to take it off! He likes this!"
Scarlett just glanced at her and handed the crown and veil back to her.
"I heard this was your five-year-old birthday gift, so you better keep it well and stop putting it on him. Wouldn’t want it to break."
If it broke and she came crying asking for compensation, it’d be a problem.
The five-plus million Diamond Crown, even though she had money now, was something she didn’t want to compensate for.
It was too pricey.
Ismeria, hearing her say not to put it on, got anxious again, "This is for him, it won’t break! And even if it does, it’s none of your business!"
Scarlett just raised an eyebrow, "You don’t want me to compensate?"
Ismeria, though young, and having never experienced a lack of money, either herself or her little friends, heard Scarlett’s concern and thought she was being stingy,
"Aren’t you my uncle’s daughter? We’re not short of money at home, why so stingy?"
Scarlett, hearing this, didn’t expect to reason with a kid, merely saying, "I am me, my dad is my dad."
Ismeria heard her say this and stomped her foot again, taking the crown Scarlett handed over, pushing it back,
"You’re so annoying! I said I don’t need you to replace it! Put it on him now!"
Scarlett found it rather intriguing, considering how disdainful she was when Scarlett brought the little fox back home.
How did she suddenly become so fond of him now?
While pondering this, Ismeria was urging her to put the crown on Little Lovely.
Little Lovely suddenly looked at her with elegance, then used his beautiful and plump tail to brush against Ismeria’s arm as if rewarding her for being sensible.
Ismeria, unconcerned about Scarlett’s presence, happily reached out her hand to pet his fluffy big tail.
Scarlett: ...
She seemed to understand now.
Little Fox was still a fox, and as a fox, it knew how to charm people.
It didn’t matter if the family wasn’t fond of him. Bring him back, and he’ll handle the rest.
Scarlett was both amused and exasperated, but under Ismeria’s urging, she placed the crown and veil back on Little Lovely.
Ismeria saw how casually she did it and anxiously straightened and adjusted them herself.
Scarlett watched her seriously adjust the veil and suddenly took out her phone, snapping a photo of the pair, and then took a separate shot of Little Lovely in his new getup.
Just as she was in the midst of taking pictures, Uncle Ming came over, saying there were little guests and inviting her to head over.
Hearing there were little guests, Scarlett was quite curious, leaving Little Lovely with Ismeria, and went to the living room herself.
To her surprise, the visitors turned out to be Andrea Silva and Faith Gibney with their respective parents.
The two families were engaging in pleasantries with Odessa, but the kids immediately spotted Scarlett Jennings, and their faces lit up with joy and excitement.
"Doggie Sister!"
"Pretty Sister!"
They called out, not caring there were other people in the hall, lifting their small skirts as they ran towards Scarlett Jennings.
Andrea was already close with her, having seen Scarlett’s online video and demanding to visit her.
The Gibney Family specially came to express their gratitude, Faith insisting on coming along, eager to see the Pretty Sister’s lightning performance again.
Epic!
Suddenly surrounded by two sweet young girls, calling her "sister" with such charming voices, Scarlett didn’t know what to do.
With Little Lovely, Ismeria caught this sweet scene and witnessed Scarlett handling the duo with a smile, patting their heads, quite unlike how she treated her.
Ismeria felt a string inside her snap in an instant, turning on her heel, she rushed over, squeezing between them and spreading her arms to shield Scarlett, her voice urgent and fierce,
"This is my sister! Mine!"
