After Giving Birth, All My Beast Ex-Husbands Suddenly Want Me Back Chapter 124: For the sake of durian
"Yes, I think so too," Jina said firmly. "No matter whether he really has sothing going on with that Lisa or not, the fact that he lied to is real. I don’t want him anymore."
"I support you," Aina said imdiately.
Nina simply smiled and said nothing. Matters like this were difficult for outsiders to interfere in.
Kith continued working with his hands nearby, but his thoughts were in turmoil.
Should he tell Nina?
If she found out... would she beco angry and drive him away?
If he hadn’t broken off the engagent back then, Nina would never have been exiled to the Wildlands.
If he had been there, how would the lord of Spirit Stone City have dared to exile her?
If he hadn’t canceled the betrothal...
Nina would never have suffered so much.
Would she forgive him?
Nina liked sincere males.
But he was hiding the truth from her.
A male like him—what right did he have to remain her guardian beast?
Yet the thought of losing her terrified him.
He was afraid that if Nina learned the truth, she would no longer want him.
The pain of gaining sothing only to lose it again... he wasn’t sure he could bear it.
All afternoon, Kith remained distracted, his mind filled with heavy thoughts.
Aina and Jina stayed for quite a while before finally leaving.
When it was ti to go, Jina tried to pick up her little bear cub.
But the cub clung stubbornly to the table leg, unwilling to leave. He loved his new playmates too much.
In the end, Jina had to carry him away by force.
After dinner, Kith carried Yinny to his room.
He gently stroked the cub’s soft fur, looking deeply troubled.
"Yinny," he murmured, "Father has done sothing that hurt your mother... but I don’t dare tell her."
"What should I do? How can I make your mother forgive ?"
Yinny’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Durian! We can eat durian again!
He wriggled out of Kith’s arms and began excitedly waving his paws and squealing.
Kith frowned.
"You an the thing that damned snow wolf ntioned before... durian?"
Yinny nodded rapidly.
"You’re sure that thod actually works?" Kith asked suspiciously.
Yinny nodded again.
Of course it works. Leopard Uncle used that thod before and Mother forgave him. And the more, the better!
But inside his little head, Yinny was thinking sothing else entirely.
Actually, I just want to eat durian again.
I wonder if Ghost Wolf Uncle still has so. I hope he does... and a lot of it.
The little cub smacked his lips at the thought and smiled happily to himself.
Kith’s brows knit even tighter.
Still, Yinny was usually a well-behaved and reliable cub.
After hesitating, Kith decided to trust him this once.
He would confess everything to Nina later tonight.
But first... he needed to go ask Ghost Wolf if he had any durians.
With his decision made, Kith carried Yinny back to Nina’s room.
Nina looked at the smiling cub and laughed softly.
"What did your father want with you? Why is our little Yinny so happy today?"
Kith shot Yinny a warning glance.
Yinny pouted slightly.
For the sake of durian, I’ll keep quiet for now.
Anyway, Mother will find out soon enough. If bad Father dares not to apologize properly, I’ll secretly tell Mother myself.
Yinny grinned and shook his head at Nina. Nothing important.
Nina reached out and gently rubbed his little head, assuming he was simply in a good mood.
Kith wrapped his arms around Nina and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead.
"Good night, Nina," he said gently.
"Mm, you too," Nina replied.
Reluctantly, Kith let her go. His expression looked unusually heavy as he turned and left the room.
That night, Kith did not sleep at all.
Early the next morning, he went to find Dahn.
"Dahn... do you still have any durians?"
Dahn looked puzzled. "What do you want durians for?"
"I... need them for sothing," Kith said vaguely. "I was just wondering if you have any. The more, the better."
Dahn imdiately sensed sothing strange about the request and hurried to find Sal.
"Boss, that damned tiger ca asking for durians—and he wants a lot of them. I happened to gather so a couple of days ago. Should we give them to him?"
Originally, he had planned to present them to Lady Nina, but he’d been dragged away to work and had completely forgotten about them.
"Durians?"
Sal raised an eyebrow.
Had that scheming tiger finally ssed up?
Ha. So even that calculating tiger could make mistakes.
A sly smile spread across Sal’s face.
"Give them to him. Hand over everything you’ve got in your storage space. But... did you gather more this ti than last ti?"
If not, he would go pick so more himself. He absolutely could not let that tiger kneel on fewer durians than he had.
Of course... what he really hoped was that Nina wouldn’t forgive that damned tiger at all.
Dahn nodded. "Yes. More than last ti."
"Very good," Sal said, smiling brightly. "Excellent."
This ti, he was definitely going to enjoy watching that tiger make a fool of himself.
So Dahn handed all the durians over to Kith.
These things... could probably grind soone’s knees away. But for Nina’s forgiveness, even if his knees were destroyed, he would still kneel.
With the resolve of soone heading to the battlefield, Kith gathered the durians and stored them away.
When Nina stepped out of her room that morning, she was greeted by a rather shocking sight.
Six males stood outside, each dressed as if competing in a fashion show.
Sal wore a leopard-patterned fur skirt that perfectly showed off his pert, well-shaped backside.
Aviel had abandoned his usual conservative style for the day. His deep-V outfit revealed glimpses of the firm muscles across his chest and abdon.
Kith, on the other hand, was dressed more modestly, but the luxurious silver-white fur garnts he wore still made him strikingly eye-catching.
Finch remained dressed in vivid red as always, though today he had added nurous decorative ornants that made him appear even more flamboyant.
Aviel wore elegant clothing as well, though small, cute accessories hung from his outfit.
Naturally, those had been chosen by little Linny.
Yanai wore tight-fitting beast-skin clothes that perfectly emphasized the powerful muscles of his chest and stomach.
Nina blinked.
Why does it feel like the temperature suddenly shot up this early in the morning?
She found herself staring for a few seconds longer than necessary before hurriedly patting her slightly flushed cheeks and rushing off to wash up.
The rfolk beauties watching from nearby sighed quietly.
Those males were quite clever—Lady Nina had clearly looked at them several extra tis.
They turned their gazes toward Lex.
If their king didn’t step up his efforts soon, he might not even secure a seat at the table... he might end up sitting underneath it.
Lex unconsciously crushed the leaf in his hand.
Those ridiculous males—how could they possibly compare to the beauty of the rfolk?
Just then, Blue-Scale ran over with a report.
"Your Majesty, your mother has sent another ssage. She says you must return soon. The daughters of several clans are about to arrive in Sea Blue City."
Lex frowned.
"Send word back to Mother... tell her I’m not returning. Let her send those ladies back."
He didn’t want to return.
He wanted to stay.
He wanted to pursue that little female.
He wanted to beco her mate.
Once, he had believed he might never marry. He had always thought there was no beauty in this world that could truly move his heart.
But Nina’s appearance had changed that belief.
So beauty did not lie in appearance at all. It was deeper, more captivating, and far more enduring than outward beauty.
"Your Majesty... are you sure about this?" Blue-Scale asked hesitantly. "If you don’t return, what will happen to Sea Blue City?"
"I’ve thought it through," Lex said calmly. "Let my younger brother inherit the throne. He’s an excellent male."
Right now, the most important thing in his heart was the bright, lively figure before his eyes.
The handso rfolk exchanged excited looks.
Their king had finally figured it out!
At last, they wouldn’t have to hang from trees anymore. These past few days they had been dangling from branches in the sun so often they were practically turning into dried fish.
Blue-Scale was thrilled as well and quickly ran off to deliver the ssage.
After breakfast, Nina returned to her room.
Outside, Kith paced back and forth for quite so ti before finally gathering his courage and stepping inside.
Sal leaned lazily against a nearby stone wall, clearly preparing to enjoy the show.
Judging by that tiger’s expression, he must have made quite a serious mistake.
Kith looked at Nina and drew in a steady breath.
"Nina... there’s sothing I need to tell you."
"Hm?" Nina tilted her head slightly. "What is it?"
Kith hesitated.
"I... I..."
He took a deep breath.
"I am the lord of White Tiger City."
