Chapter 371 Lethal Puppy (1/2)

Nitocris watched his little puppy walk out without a care in the world. Throughout the entire ordeal, Nitocris was absolutely frozen.

What the hell just happened?!

His mind was slowly processing every single detail from the moment he walked in until the end. He looked back down on his buttoned-up shirt and then further below, where his pants were starting to feel just a little bit too tight.

Damn, that puppy was lethal! How could anyone so innocent be such a devil?

Nitocris looked at himself in the mirror.

Now, thatwas a true Devil.

He knew very well the sort of dark, imposing figure he made. It was a part of him. The darkness. He welcomed it, really. He couldn't deny the blood of his father in him, and he never did.

However, ever since he got to know Xing Han, a little seedling of hope grew within him. Could that little bundle of sunshine ever be a part of his life? Love. Could he ever deserve that little puppy? He had too much blood on his hands.

Maybe this was wrong. Maybe he shouldn't try to win the little puppy's heart. Maybe he should protect his little puppy's innocence by staying away from him.

Nitocris looked at his bed, all messed up from his little puppy's vigorous activity. He remembered how warm his little puppy was in his arms as they slept together. How warm he felt, and how at peace he was.

Nitocris touched the buttons of the shirt that his little puppy had done up.

No, he knew he couldn't give him up without trying, at least.

He will be patient. He will wait. He will reel in the little puppy slowly. If ... if his little puppy rejected him later on, he will walk away. He definitely wouldn't do anything to taint that purity and innocence.

Waking up early that morning was like a dream. Nitocris's mind wandered to that moment in time.

✿ Two hours earlier ✿

Nitocris got up reluctantly, slowly extracting himself from his little puppy's embrace. Once he got up, he saw how his little puppy's face scrunched up, and he started flailing about again. A ghost of a smile formed on Nitocris's face, as he thought his puppy missed his warmth.

With a sigh, he smoothened the pillow that he had been sleeping on to erase any trace of him being there. He didn't have to worry about the bed, as Xing Han was thrashing about and destroying all evidence anyway.

Giving his bed, and his little puppy, a final glance, Nitocris walked out to get ready for work. He couldn't have Kyle come and not see any traces of him 'sleeping' outside.

His timing was perfect, for he had already taken his breakfast and was drinking his coffee when Kyle arrived.

”Morning, Mother, Big Bro Nic,” Kyle said as he walked in.

”Morning, Kyle honey,” Rheia said, ”Where's Kay?”

”Oh, she's not coming. She'll be having breakfast at home and I'll pick her up on the way to school,” Kyle said, ”She didn't want to wake up so early.”

Rheia nodded in understanding.

”Come and have your breakfast first then,” she said, going into the kitchen.
