Chapter 706

Elysia knew he was up to his old tricks again, playfully shoving him away, "Stop it, I'm dry now."

He fell silent for a moment before diving back into Elysia's arms, wriggling about like a clingy golden retriever.

Tickled by his antics, Elysia laughed while trying to push him away, only to find herself backed against a wall with nowhere to retreat. She exerted more force in her push, exclaiming,

"I'll smack you if you don't stop, you hear?"

A mysterious glint appeared in Tarquin's deep eyes as he gazed at her for a few seconds before lowering his head to playfully bite her!

He really was turning into a big wolfhound!
