Chapter 268 A Kiss and a Gift "Will it be hard to sleep if you put gardenias by the bed?" Ardenia asked. "The smell is pretty strong." VPN 51 +20 Free Coins Colin shook his head. "When I look at them, it feels like I'm looking at you, Ardenia. You weren't home last night, and I really missed you." As he spoke, he leaned in closer. What he wanted was obvious. Colin's throat moved as he swallowed, then he spoke in a low voice. "Ardenia, can you kiss me?" He looked like a kid asking for candy. His eyes were full of hope. By the window, the last light of sunset fell across his face.
He tilted his head up at Ardenia and smiled. She leaned down and brushed her lips against his. Then she bit his lower lip. As their lips rubbed together, his ears turned bright red. The gardenia scent smelled good, just like her. When she pulled away, Colin smiled. "Halden made a wooden frame for me, too." He wanted the same thing, with both their names together. "Okay. I'll write it for you," Ardenia said. Colin jumped up right away. He was so happy that he looked clumsy. "But I..." He wanted to say he didn't have any paper. "I do. Come sit down. I'll write it for you," she said.
Colin didn't sit across from her. He stood behind her and bent down, wrapping her fully in his arms. Ardenia let him do it. She took out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote her own name. When it was Colin's turn, she handed the paper and pen to him. The Horned-Serpent Tribe had its own script. "I want you to write my name yourself. When my father named me, he hoped I'd be sharp and smart, but also steady and calm," Colin said. Ardenia's hand moved. She wrote his name. It matched the meaning he described, and the sound fit too. 1/4 20:07 Thu, Feb 12 Chapter 268 A Kiss and a Gift "Colin.
Like this. Take a look," she said. VPN 51 +20 Free Coins She put the pen down. Colin held the paper like it was a treasure. He carefully framed both her name and his, then placed them side by side at the head of the bed. "Thank you, Ardenia. I like it," he said. He was slowly turning cheerful. Ardenia felt very pleased. She waved him over and pulled him down to sit in front of her. The peach wood comb naturally slid into her hand. This time, Colin didn't try to block his hair. He wanted everyone to see his totem with hers. They were official now. He didn't need to hide anymore.

"Ardenia," he said softly. "Yes?" she replied. Colin stood up and picked her up. "Tonight is mine." He had waited so long. It was finally his turn. There were too many males in the house. Just thinking about it annoyed him. "Eat first," Ardenia said. "Okay. Wait a bit. I still have something to give you," Colin said. It was the bow she had asked for. Colin had made it just the way she wanted. The body of the bow was smooth and well-made. Both ends were carved with designs. One side was a horned serpent. The other side was a gardenia. "This is good. You did a great job," Ardenia said.
It really was good. She stood up and tested the rebound on the table. Everything felt right. She took out the bowstring and handed it to Colin. "Put it on for me. Pull it tight. My arms are strong enough. If the draw weight is too low, I won't get used to it." The bow she used in the mountains had been fifty pounds. "Ardelin," Colin said. "What?" Ardenia didn't react right away. "The bow's name," Colin said. 2/4 20:07 Thu, Feb 12 VPN 51 Chapter 268 A Kiss and a Gift She burst out laughing. She hadn't expected him to remember that. "Ardenia, do you think it sounds bad?" Colin asked.
His eyes filled with tears. "Hold it back," Ardenia said. There could only be one crybaby in the house. Colin felt wronged. "I thought you'd like it." Colin shrank in on himself and went quiet. Day and night worked, so why doesn't Ardelin work? +20 Free Coins "I like it," Ardenia said. She picked up the bow with the string attached. "Come on. I'll take you out to play." She suddenly felt restless and eager to try it. She hadn't shown off her skills in a long time. Colin wiped his tears. His return gift seemed forgotten. The kiss earlier doesn't count.
Ardenia wanted to draw the bow right away, but she still paid attention to his mood. She was just a bit rough about it. She grabbed his collar, yanked him up from the ground, and kissed him hard on the lips. "Your return gift," she said. Her attitude was rough. Her tone was firm. Her expression was careless. Colin felt like he was going to fall apart. She hadn't kissed Vesper like that at all. When Niall saw Ardenia come out of Colin's cave so quickly, he happily rushed over. He cleverly shrank his beast form down to the size of a kitten.
His tails swayed back and forth, looking extremely cute. Ardenia caught him easily. Niall snuggled into her arms and shot a provocative look at Colin behind her. 3/4 20:07 Thu, Feb 12 VPN 51 Chapter 268 A Kiss and a Gift Only I can be a pet. +20 Free Coins Ardenia rubbed him once and set him down. Niall wasn't satisfied. He followed her in a clingy, annoying way. Colin curled his lips into a smile. Ardenia still cared about him. The fox isn't that favored. Colin felt smug and followed them to the back hill. Before it got dark, Ardenia raised the longbow.
Colin understood right away and scared the wild ducks by the pond, sending them. flying into the air. 4/4 20:07 Thu, Feb 12 Editorial board Editorial Board: Our editorial team works behind the scenes to refine each chapter, maintain consistency, and deliver the best reading experience.
