Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 349

room fell back to a long silence. Erik was frozen, almost unable to believe his cars. He could never have predicted that this woman would do something like this or say such shocking words.

"Arlong" He scrambled, trying to avoid any temptation, and quickly called for more people to come.

Outside, Arlong heard the noise and knew that the master and mistress had

woken up.

Usually, the master didn't need extra servants in the morning, only requiring water to wash up. But with the mistress now in the room, he couldn't do the washing up anymore.

A few maids, having received Arlong's message, entered with a variety of items, walking lightly and bowing to Nyx.

"Mistress."

When Nyx saw the copper basin of water, she suddenly remembered that she had been so tired and sleepy last night that she fell straight into bed and forgot to wash

What was worse, she had put on a thick layer of makeup yesterday, and it had been on all night-hopefully it hadn't ruined

her skin.

She nervously raised her hand to touch her face and was surprised to feel smooth skin, quite different from what she had imagined.

Taking the copper mirror to check, she found the makeup was completely gone. Though her face was bare, it looked like a soft powder that nourished her skin.

"The mistress is so beautiful," one of the clever maids, seeing her check the mirror, immediately sweet-talked. I've never seen someone so stunning, like a celestial being.

Once one started, the others didn't want to fall behind, and they all chimed in, complimenting her endlessly.

Nyx felt a little awkward from all the praise. She bit her lip shyly, and a faint blush crept onto her cheeks.

Not far away. Erik's gaze was glued to her face, momentarily dazed. To him, those compliments didn't feel exaggerated at all,

Last night, in the dark, when he helped Nyx wash her face, he could hardly see anything. But now, staring at her bare face, he realized she was even more beautiful without makeup.

His heated gaze was impossible to ignore. Nyx raised an eyebrow and gave him a faint smile.

Without asking, she was sure that last night, this Pale Wolf had helped her wash her face and even put some fragrant powder on her. She thought such a well- behaved male should be rewarded.

After freshening up and getting dressed, the kitchen staff brought breakfast, placing dish after dish on the table, even more sumptuous than usual.

Seeing that there were two sets of bowls and fork, a trace of disappointment flickered in Erik's eyes, and he sat down unhappily.

Before he could pick up his bowl, a hand reached over and took it away from in front of him.

He thought it was a maid acting on her own, frowning as he looked up coldly, only to be shocked to see it was Nyx, his eyes widening in surprise.

Nyx scooped a bowl of oatmeal, blew on the spoon, and naturally fed it to him.

Erik instinctively opened his mouth.

The simple oatmeal, something he usually couldn't be bothered with, felt different today. He swallowed it quickly, but it seemed to have many more flavors than usual.

He thought, 'So this is what it feels like to be served by the wife during a meal? No wonder so many men are eager to marry

Seeing this, Arlong wisely backed away, also sending the other waiting maids away.

The surroundings became quiet.

Erik sat there, dazed. When food was brought to him, he opened his mouth obediently, as if he had an invisible tail wagging behind him, like the most obedient little dog.

After a long while, he finally snapped back to reality, extending his long arm to take Nyx's bowl and fork. He picked up a pastry, blushing, and fed it to her. "You... you eat too."

Nyx smiled at him and didn't refuse.

After she chewed on the pastry for a couple of bites, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but feel a bit emotional

She hadn't expected that even after losing his memory, Pale Wolf could still perfectly serve her the flavor she liked.

"Here, have some of this." She returned the favor, placing a piece of food on Erik's plate.
