My Taboo Harem System Chapter 26: Sweet Home

Step.

Step.

Step.

The sound of Denzel’s footsteps echoed softly as he moved forward, finally returning ho after the entire incident at the chief’s household with Aisha.

As he approached the entrance, his eyes briefly drifted toward the pouch of gold coins in his hand before he stuffed it down into his pocket.

’My life is finally turning around.’

A faint smile spread across his face as he stepped toward the door.

’Ten good coins... I’m definitely throwing a party for them. This is going to be amazing.’

With that thought, he pushed the door open and stepped inside.

"I’m ho." he muttered warmly, a bright smile resting on his face, shielding away his malice.

But the mont his eyes swept across the room, the smile slowly faltered.

The house was empty- No voices...Nothing.

Denzel blinked once before slowly walking farther inside, his eyes moving around in confusion.

And then finally—

Sophia peeked her head out from the corridor entrance.

"Denzel? Oh... it’s you."

The excitent on Denzel’s face imdiately softened into a slightly awkward expression.

"Um... Sophia."

His eyes shifted around lightly before he asked.

"Where’s Mom?"

"She went out to get so groceries. Is sothing wrong?" Sophia asked.

Denzel scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"Um... yeah. I actually have so good news I wanted to share."

"Good news?" Sophia repeated curiously.

"Yeah."

Denzel imdiately reached down and pulled out the pouch of Gold coins.

But before he could continue, Sophia suddenly interrupted him.

"Can you hold on for a second? I’m kind of busy right now."

Denzel blinked in confusion.

"Too busy with what?"

"I’m trying to um..."

Her words suddenly stopped.

Her mouth imdiately snapped shut as her body tensed slightly.

’Don’t say it. Don’t say it. Don’t say it.’

A faint blush slowly crept onto her cheeks as she shot Denzel one last awkward glance before quickly turning away.

"Nothing. I’m not doing anything. I’m just... trying on so of my old clothes... that’s all."

As she said that, Sophia inwardly cursed herself.

’Why did you say that?!’

Denzel blinked awkwardly for a mont before replying.

"Oh... Testing your old clothes?"

Sophia’s cheeks instantly flushed faintly.

Her eyes quickly darted away from him as she awkwardly explained.

"You know... it’s just that my clothes are kind of worn out already. I don’t really like them anymore, and I think I might have put on a little bit of weight... maybe."

She paused briefly before continuing in a quieter tone.

"So... so of my clothes don’t really fit anymore."

Denzel slowly nodded.

"Oh... that is a problem."

But the very next mont, sothing suddenly clicked inside his mind.

A faint smile slowly spread across his face.

’Wait... yes. That might actually work.’

Then he suddenly spoke up.

"What if I have sothing that could solve that problem?"

Sophia blinked in confusion.

"What do you an?"

Denzel grinned lightly.

"Well... let’s just say your brother pulled off sothing pretty big today."

He lightly waved the book in his hand.

"And I might actually have enough money to take you shopping."

The mont those words left his mouth, Sophia’s previously dull eyes imdiately lit up with excitent.

She instantly turned toward him in disbelief.

"Shopping?" she repeated as Denzel chuckled.

"Yeah. Anything you want."

Then he smirked slightly.

"So? What do you say? Interested?"

Sophia stared at him for a few seconds before a genuine smile slowly ford on her face.

And this ti, she fully stepped out from the corridor.

"Yes... yes, if you really do have the money, then I wouldn’t mind going shopping."

But almost imdiately, she hurriedly added.

"But we’ll only buy the cheap stuff. And maybe... if there’s so money left, we can buy so food too."

Denzel smiled warmly.

’Hmm...how economic of you Sophia, just for that, I’ll cum inside you when I’m done.’

"That’s smart. Really smart."

Then he stretched his hand slightly toward her.

"So? How about it? Let’s go shopping."

However, despite the gentle smile on his face, his true intentions were completely different.

’I can use this opportunity to create the perfect scenario to get her in position to accept my skill...and if-’

But just then, Sophia suddenly hesitated.

"Ah... but Mom told to get the dishes done before she gets back ho."

She glanced back toward the kitchen as she added.

"It might take a while to clean everything up. Are you... are you sure you can wait a little bit?"

The mont she said that, Denzel paused.

’Wait...Buying ti like this wouldn’t be enough, since Maria isn’t ho right now, I can head to the market first, waste so ti there, and then—’

Suddenly, another idea flashed through his mind.

Denzel imdiately smiled.

"Actually... how about I do you sothing even better?"

Sophia tilted her head slightly.

"Sothing better?"

"Yeah."

Denzel stepped closer toward her.

"Let your brother take care of you for once."

As he spoke, he gently grabbed one of her hands, softly rubbing his thumb against her palm.

Then he smiled warmly.

"You handle the dishes...I’ll be back in a little while."

’And by then... even more ti would have passed, and so, the cooldown will be gone.’ he thought inwardly.

Then, without wasting another mont, Denzel turned around and stepped out of the house.

The door shut softly behind him.

And without hesitation, he imdiately began making his way toward the marketplace—

Ready to begin his master plan.

And as Denzel stepped out of the house, Sophia remained standing there quietly, her gaze still fixed on the door long after he had already left, as though his presence still lingered within the room.

Only a single thought continued echoing endlessly inside her mind.

’What the hell has gotten into ? Lord... why do I keep looking at him like that?’

The more she thought about it, the warr her cheeks beca.

Almost imdiately, she shook her head repeatedly, trying to force those strange thoughts away.

But no matter how hard she tried—

His smile continued replaying inside her head.

***

After quite so ti had passed, and after all the walking and shopping had finally co to an end, Denzel successfully bought three beautiful dresses for Sophia.

Having known her for years, he already understood the kind of clothes she usually liked.

However, he hadn’t simply chosen random dresses.

No.

He had carefully picked outfits that were slightly more revealing than normal.

Not shalessly exposing—

But just enough to naturally emphasize her beauty.

At least, in his opinion.

And honestly, Denzel genuinely had good taste when it ca to clothes.

As he walked back ho with the bags hanging lightly from his hands, a satisfied smile rested across his face.

’After buying these, I’m sure she’s going to like at least one of them.’

A soft chuckle escaped inwardly from him.

’And I even managed to get them for a pretty good price.’

Eventually, after several more minutes of walking, Denzel finally arrived in front of the house once again.

But even as he stood there, his thoughts continued drifting elsewhere.

His eyes narrowed faintly.

’But these clothes aren’t just for her....I’m going to use this to create another opportunity.’

The smile on his face deepened further.

’Besides...I’ve already got a plan in motion...so let’s get to fucking this MILF.’

His grip around the shopping bags tightened slightly.

And with those thoughts lingering heavily inside his head, Denzel stepped forward and entered the house without another word.
