A few moments later, Rion mumbled with a slightly red face, "What were you doing?"

Dora pressed her face into his chest, wrapped her hands around him and whispered in a low voice, "I was cooking for you..."

"Oh?" His brows rose in surprise, and he muttered, "Who was the one to teach you?"

A vein throbbed at Dora's forehead, and she grumbled, "Are you calling me bad at cooking?"

Rion, who had watched his father deal with his mother from the day he was born, understood the warning. He dug his face into her head and mumbled, "I love you so much..."

Dora felt her heart skip a beat, but she was just as stubborn as he was. "Are you trying to dodge my question?"

An imaginary bead of sweat rolled down his face, and he stated, "I am not."

She bit him and hissed, "You are!"

"Nuh uh." He did everything but agree.

She also stopped pressing him any further, and they stood embracing each other for a few more minutes.

Suddenly, the warm silence was torn to shreds by Rion's stomach's loud growl.

She chuckled and looked at him with a smug expression.

'Talk about bad timing,' Rion sighed, let go of her and flicked her head.

"Ouch!" She cried, rubbed her temples and stammered with tears gathering at the edge of her eyes, "What was that for?"

'Cute,' he remarked inwardly and walked over to the side that had his other set of clothes.

"Your man is hungry, and you are staring at him with a smug look? Tch tch," he muttered with a shake of his head.

She stared at him with a furious expression, but all she could do was stomp the ground and turn around.

He chuckled, and his hand moved to pick up his clothes, but suddenly Dora's soft voice made him stop. "Don't take them."

Puzzled, he looked at her with a deadpan expression and muttered, "What am I supposed to wear after the bath then?"

She turned her head towards him, scanned him from top to bottom with a serious expression and said, "Change them here. I don't want any bitch to peek at what's mine. Hmph!"

He frowned and argued, "Huh? If anyone was peeking at me, I would've sensed them with my Z—"

His words halted in his throat as she shot him an irritated glare.

He heaved a defeated sigh and said, "Fine..."

A smile appeared on her face, and she praised while nodding, "Good boy."

Rion stepped near the door. He pushed it and mumbled, "You are the one who wants to peek at me, don't you?"

Her cheeks reddened, she looked at him with a warm smile and said, "So what?"

"Shameless," He muttered, a chuckle left him, and he stepped outside the hut.

As she cooked the dinner, she took out a few purple berries from the leather pouch strapped to her thigh and ate them one by one.

After about thirty minutes, the door creaked open, and Rion returned to the hut.

He had already dried his body and clothes with his aura, but he still liked to wear the other set every night as it kept him more grounded, or at least that was what he thought.

He took off his tunic, and suddenly he sensed Dora move.

At first, he thought that maybe she was trying to peek at him, but instead of that, she walked over to him and hugged him from behind.

Her hands roamed his naked upper body, and she mumbled in his ear, "Why don't you stay like this for tonight?"

Rion frowned and thought, 'What's going on? She is being too bold tonight...' he shook his head and said, "Nope. Can't do."

"Why?!" She cried, dug her head into his shoulder and mumbled while sniffling, "Don't you know how hard it is for godbloods to have children? Don't you think it would be better if we start early?"

Rion fell silent at her logic.

He grabbed her arms, pulled her into the front and wrapped his arms around her as he spoke, "Let's say you are right, but I don't wish to have a child yet. Even though I love you a lot, I don't believe I am ready to be a father."

Tears gathered at the corners of her eyes, and she whispered in a low voice, "But I want to be a mother..."

Rion bit his lower lip, his arms tightened around her, and he mumbled, "I am sorry."

"I don't want your sorry, I want your child!" She grumbled, and Rion's expression darkened, but suddenly a strange smell hit his nose.

"Hmm?" He inhaled deeply, and a few minutes later, his hands reached her thigh.

She yelped and looked at him with a surprised expression. "Are we doing it...?" She asked.

Rion placed a finger on her lips and voiced, "Shh."

He took out the berries from her pouch and stared at them with a deadpan expression. He glanced at her and muttered, "How did you get these?"

Dora, who was chewing his finger, looked at the berries and mumbled weakly, "Mira... gave me..."

"Of course it's her!" He facepalmed and said, "These are dark berries. If you eat around twelve of these, they act like an aphrodisiac."

She blinked, tilted her head and asked, "What's that?"

He sighed and channelled his aura into her body to remove the effect of the dark berries.

A few minutes later, the flush faded from her cheeks. She blinked, dazed, then looked down at his bare chest. "Why are you naked…?"

He shook his head, showed the berries to her and said, "Don't ever eat them again, okay?"

She looked at the berries with a raised brow and mumbled, "Alright..."

Rion smiled, kissed her forehead and removed his arms. "Can you plate the food?"

Still confused by everything, she nodded and walked over to the pot.

Rion changed his clothes, and she plated the food.

A few moments later, both of them began to eat, and Dora asked while staring at him with expectation-filled eyes, "How is it?"

Rion, who was digging into the food, slowed down and replied, "It's great!"

She chuckled and both began to eat again.
