The Dragon King's Substitute Bride

Chapter 62

CH62 Tsuneo

Unlike Arl, there were no laws in this child's eyes. The fact that he didn't try to cower behind Ari when Morgan approached, set off alarms in the back of my mind. There was a lie here, but I didn't know exactly what it was. Looking at his face, it was obvious that he was related to Ari. I had no doubt that this was her child, but... there was no child-like love for her in his expression or actions.

She seemed to be little more than a stranger to her.

He shook his head. "I'm hungry."

"I thought so," Morgan extended her hand. "Let's f find something tasty, hm?"

Ari snarled, but the child let go of her and took Morgan's. In a matter of seconds, Morgan led
