Chloe's POV
“Hmm,...Blake, how’s the situation?” I asked while looking around, “Is there anything I can do to help
out?”
Blake shook his head and briefly told me the overall situation and found out that there is not much to do NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
other than monitor the condition of the injured.
“I see…” Although I already knew the answer, my heart could not help but still be a little disappointed.
I was not able to do anything to help Blake smooth out the situation, in the end.
Blake looked at me and gently rubbed the back of my hand while saying, “If you want to, you can go
around and try assisting the healers to monitor the injured… But don’t tire yourself and the baby out.”
Hearing his suggestion, a smile grew on my lips and I immediately nodded. I turned around and moved
as I was about to head to the healer’s side when I felt Blake’s hand not letting go.
“Is there something wrong?” I asked.
Blake seemed to be embarrassed, but in the end, he opened his mouth and said, “Chloe… about our
plans for lunch… I am looking forward to it.”
Hearing his words, only then did I remember the original plan we two agreed on. Because of the
situation, I was unable to remember about it, thankfully the situation did not seem to be too grave and a
lunch picnic would not look inappropriate.
Moreover, looking at Blake’s expectant face, I could not find myself to cancel our plans and
immediately nodded, “Hmm, Let’s do it… See you later…”
A gorgeous childlike smile bloomed on Blake’s face. He was like a child happy to have his request
granted. “See you later!”
With that I spent the first part of the morning helping out the treatment hall. Since everyone had already
been given first aid treatment, I only had to help out with the management of the medicine for
distribution.
It did not take me that long to finish the task and become vacant. So I quickly decided to head to the
kitchen and prepared for our lunch picnic.
With the help of the kitchen cooks, I am able to immediately complete the things I needed to pack for
our lunch. They were neatly packed in a big basket and I only needed to wait for Blake to come over so
we could go on our plans.
“Chloe… you ready?” He asked with an unmasked excitement on his face.
The smile in his eyes made my heart filled with warmth, for a moment I had forgotten about everything
that was happening and chose to focus on the two of us.
With a nod, I stood up, getting ready to go. Blake very naturally took my hand then the basket on the
other.
Hand in hand, we went to the spot where Blake planned to take me. Because of the commotion last
night, we cannot really go that far in the territory.
In the end, Blake decided that we go to the king’s garden, which was exclusively only for the Lycan
King, his family and his closest aides. Coincidentally, this was also the garden that was featured in my
bizarre dream back then.
Thinking about how mysterious and weird the dream was, I subconsciously tightened the hold on
Blake’s hand.
“Is there something bothering you?” While we were walking to enter the place, Blake felt the change in
my mood and paused.
He looked at me with a worried expression.
Realizing that I let my thoughts wander, I shook my head and gave him just a perfunctory explanation,
“Nothing much, it is just that this garden once appeared in my dreams. I remembered it randomly.”
Seeing that it was really just a passing thought, Blake gestured that we move further to which I
followed.
However, both of us immediately sensed a presence behind us. Blake calmly looked in a certain
direction and said, “Carrie, come out.”
I followed Blake’s gaze and also saw a shy figure hiding on a tree nearby.
Carrie had a pleading look on her face, almost in a teary state.
“Big brother… Chloe… please hide me…” She called out and begged.
“Hide in your room, do not disturb us…” Blake sighed and rubbed his temples, clearly not wanting
Carrie to disturb our time together.
I chuckled seeing his childish actions. But I knew that Carrie would not feel this helpless if hiding in the
room would work.
I looked at Blake and whispered, “Don’t reject your little sister… I am sure she ran to us because she
really does not know what to do…”
I coaxed Blake with a few more words before Blake finally managed to helplessly beckon Carrie.
In the end three of us entered the garden.
Fortunately the garden remained unscathed even with the intrusion that happened last night.
The flowers around the area are in full bloom and the trees generously brandished their wide canopies
to shield us with the noon light.
Just looking around the area made Blake’s rather exhausted demeanor freshen a lot. I smiled and
started to prepare everything, taking out the contents of the basket.
Carrie immediately helped me. Seeing the food that I and the kitchen worked to prepare, she could not
help but exclaim in excitement.
Instantly, she started to forget about the things that were bothering her a while ago and started to
shower me with praises.
Blake looked at the two of us silently, a trace of helplessness was evident on his face, yet towards his
little sister, his soft spot always worked.
Very soon, the food was already laid out neatly on our picnic mat. We sat under a wide shaded tree
cushioned with the lush grown bermuda grass.
I did not dilly-dally further and coaxed the two to eat, putting extra care on Blake’s food to somehow
appease him.
Serving him small portions of the dishes I knew he wanted, I handed out the plate to him and smiled,
“Start with this, I made these dishes a while ago…”
Blake looked at the plate and his gaze softened, “Let’s eat…”
I watched him eat the food I served and observed his reaction. Taking a bite, his face bloomed with an
approving smile as he muttered breathlessly, “Delicious, as always.”
His gaze made my heart stop as I was captivated by him. I tried to look away as I could feel the beating
of my heart rising rapidly and my face burning in heat. However there is something about him that
made me unable to stop looking toward his face.
In the end the atmosphere going between us was interrupted by Carrie’s exclamation, “Waaaah!!!
Chloe, how I miss your cooking! I am really crying!!!”
Taken aback I could only chuckle as I looked at her fondly.
“Carrie, you are already an adult but you still talk while your mouth is full.” Blake looked at Carrie and
chidded her sternly, but his gaze revealed that he was also happy as well.
“Can’t I just say how happy I am at this moment?! Hmf!” Carrie pouted as she hogged all the dishes
she could put on her plate as she ate vigorously.
“You should eat as well…” Blake coaxed me as he handed out a plate filled with a few dishes which
were all my preferences.
“Thank you…” Feeling the sweetness in my heart, I took the plate and started eating as well.
Carrie still went on praising the food I prepared, while Blake quietly ate his fill.
However, at a distance behind Carrie, I could see another figure approaching. My eyes widened in
shock as I looked at Blake.
I saw a mischievous smile on Blake’s lips as he also stared at a distance.
At that moment, I knew that Blake somehow called the person over as he took a quick glance at Carrie
who was still blissfully eating cluelessly.
“You’re here… Arthur!”
