Chapter 164

A faint, sweet scent brushed past Erik–but it didn’t stop. It faded as she walked away.

It took Erik a while to snap back to reality, only to realize that Nyx was actually headed for Jorge, having just passed by him.

He stared blankly at that fading figure, feeling a sense of emptiness.

A subtle feeling of loss lingered in his heart until lunchtime, when everyone was cating sandwiches together. Nyx slid a few braised pork buns his way.

“You like this flavor, right? Eat up.” Nyx tilted her head at him. “Your taste hasn’t changed, has it?”

Erik’s handsome face turned bright red. “N–no, it hasn’t.”

The moment he bit into the steaming hot sandwich, his mood instantly lifted.

Braised pork sandwiches were definitely Erik’s favorite. He even ate more properly than usual, not wanting to finish the sandwich Nyx had given him too quickly.

But when he looked up, he saw Aurelius and Nyx leaning close together, sharing a meal like they were in their own little world.

Suddenly, the sandwich in his hand didn’t taste as good anymore.

Throughout the entire meal, Erik’s emotions were all over the place–a mix of highs and lows.

He forced himself to stop focusing on Nyx and picked up some documents, planning to bury himself in work. But then he suddenly heard Aurelius‘ voice. “Take a nap, Nyx.”

Erik immediately looked over and saw Aurelius shift into his beast form.

The massive White Tiger shamelessly sprawled in Nyx’s arms, acting all clingy by inviting her to nap with him.

Erik’s grip on the documents slipped, and they smacked onto the table with a loud sound.

Nyx looked up at the noise.

Their eyes met, and Erik quickly turned away, pretending to pick up the papers. He made a show of reorganizing them for a bit before sneaking another glance at Nyx who was still holding Aurelius.

Not just holding–Nyx had even pulled out a small brush and was gently brushing the White Tiger’s fur.

These past days, Aurelius had been swamped dealing with the illegal labs and Edmund, completely exhausted.

Even today, which was supposed to be his day off, he’d brought work along just to spend time with Nyx, barely getting a break.
