Chapter 404 She Just Wants a Hug

"Lela, be a good girl."

"If you need to bite something, bite me."As if under a spell cast by some gentle force, Lela gradually loosened her grip. Sylvester took the opportunity to deepen their kiss.

She straddled Sylvester's lap, looking up at him with drowsy eyes. "Sylvester?"
