With Jordan and Philip in agreement, nobody else felt brave enough to raise an objection.

Milly tried to calm Apollo, asking him to wait for her while she went downstairs.

Normally, Apollo would heed her soft, soothing voice and wait patiently here, even if he did not want to. However, this time, no matter what she said, he stubbornly refused to release her arm.

Even when he saw her trying to forcefully free herself, Apollo reacted by crying out loudly, his eyes becoming intensely red, resembling a distressed little wolf cub.

Milly sighed softly.

As she contemplated this, Jordan’s steady voice cut through the silence. “Bring him with you. The sooner you leave, the sooner you’ll return.”

Milly’s eyes brightened upon hearing that.

Milly had a question ready, but she held it back, hesitating briefly before responding, “Okay.”

Agreeing, she took Apollo and left.
