Chapter 149 Trust and Warmth Chapter 149 Trust and Warmth She hadn't really needed him anyway. Ardenia felt a little discouraged. She thought maybe she had been too shallow before. That was why Calder felt scared at a time like this. 73 +10 Free Coins He felt inferior. He was afraid that once she saw how ugly he was, she wouldn't want him anymore. She understood all of that. "Calder, look at me." The moment Ardenia finished speaking, the blade in her hand slid across her own face. Calder froze in shock. He rushed over and knocked the dagger out of her hand. Tears poured from his eyes.
Seeing her get hurt hit him harder than anything else. He waved his hands in anger and panic, but he didn't know what to do. He struggled for a while and even got her clothes wet. He felt so upset about it. In the end, his eyes landed on the cut on her face. His mouth opened slightly. He hesitated for a long time, then closed it again. "Do I look uglier now?" Calder shook his head. He felt even more guilty and miserable. Ardenia didn't care about that at all. As long as Calder would come to her, this tiny injury didn't matter. "Come hug me." Ardenia opened her arms again.
This time, Calder didn't dare avoid her. If he did, she might hurt herself again. His wet body felt cool in her arms. Ardenia stroked his damp hair and gently wiped the tears from his face. Her eyes were soft and calm, full of quiet care. Calder started crying again. He couldn't help it. She really didn't dislike him. He used his fin to cut his own finger. A merfolk's blood could heal wounds. It worked like her wood-based ability. That was also why he healed so quickly. He didn't want her to hurt. Ardenia stood still and felt him smear his blood on her face. "That's amazing.

It doesn't hurt at all now. Thanks, Calder." After she said that, she leaned in and kissed him. Dislike him? 1/3 14:29 Thu, Jan 8 D J Chapter 149 Trust and Warmth +10 Free Coins She couldn't dislike him at all. Calder's eyes went wide at the sudden kiss. He cried even harder. Ardenia doesn't dislike me. She really doesn't. He felt silly for being so emotional. He had even made her cut her own face. It wasn't like before. This time, his tears came quietly, without any sound. "You're the best. If it were me, I would've run away. You still rushed in to protect everyone. Calder, I like you.
I don't like you just because you have a beautiful tail and à pretty face. I like you because you're you. There are so many pretty fish in the sea. I can't like all of them." Ardenia held his face and spoke gently. Then she kissed him again, Calder didn't hide this time. His expression relaxed a lot. His eyes looked clear and bright after crying. Ardenia brushed his hair back and tied it up. When she used her wood-based ability, Calder smiled shyly. He pulled her hand and sat in front of her by the tank. That small move melted Ardenia's heart. Calder was really so good. Not like Niall.
He only acted well-behaved. He was actually thinking about pushing things too far. Calder was different. He waited for her to take him instead. Ardenia rubbed his head and asked softly, "After your wounds heal, can you come out?" Calder nodded. He had only gone into the tank because his injuries were too bad. Now that Ardenia's ability had leveled up, these wounds were nothing to her. He just didn't want to go out and see people. His level was low. He couldn't walk far. He still had gills on his neck. He worried others would see him as a disabled therian.
Ardenia knew he didn't want to see people. She didn't push him. As long as he stayed close to her, that was enough. She carefully helped him out of the tank. He was a little unsteady on his feet. His tail turned into legs on land, but faint scales could still be seen. She didn't care about being shy now. She grabbed clean clothes and wrapped them around him. She smiled and teased him to distract him. "Why're you blushing? What part of you haven't I seen?" He blushed even more. That wasn't a lie. That night at the hot spring, she had stripped him completely.
The only thing they hadn't 2/3 14:29 Thu, Jan 8 Do J Chapter 149 Trust and Warmth done was mate. He still remembered how it felt when she touched his pearl. He wanted to say something affectionate to her, but the words got stuck in his throat. +10 Free Coins Calder felt wronged. He leaned into her arms. He rested his head on her leg. Then he turned and hugged her. He buried his face in her chest like a kitten. When Halden arrived, he saw this scene. He and Ardenia looked at each other. Neither of them spoke. He understood Calder's feelings. He put the food down at the door.
He sighed softly and left quietly. Calder was really hungry. When he smelled the food, he lifted his head from her chest. He looked alert and a little hopeful. Ardenia squeezed his hand to signal him to get up. Calder moved aside obediently. He wrapped himself up and curled up on the bed. He waited for her to feed him. Halden was really thoughtful. The food included steamed egg, just like the way she made it. Calder stared at it without blinking. His eyes slowly turned red again. 3/3 14:29. Thu, Jan 8 D J Dylan
