"don't want"
Carlos had no choice but to let her hit him and throw a tantrum.
Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up and ran outside.
Carlos chased after her anxiously: "Xiaoxiao, where are you going?"
I want to leave here.
Guo Xiaoxiao stormed off, but Carlos wouldn't allow it. Not letting her out of his sight, he forcefully scooped her up in his arms.
"No fooling around"
Guo Xiaoxiao struggled and shouted, "I need to find Mickson, Arthur, and the others! Let me go!"
Upon hearing those names, Carlos felt a void in his heart. His deep voice rang out: "They're dead. You can't find them."
He carried Guo Xiaoxiao into the house, but Guo Xiaoxiao resisted.
"You're the one who's dead! They're perfectly fine."
She wasn't paying attention and broke free from Carlos's embrace, falling to the ground.
"Holy crap..." She clutched her stomach and groaned in pain, her face deathly pale. Her instinct was still to protect the snake inside her; maternal instinct kicked in.
Carlos was terrified. He picked her up and put her on the bed, anxiously asking...
"Xiaoxiao, where does it hurt? Are you alright?"
Guo Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and endured the intense pain, pushed Carlos away, and pointed a trembling finger at the door.
"roll"
“Xiaoxiao…”
"Get out! I don't need you to take care of me!"
Carlos was helpless. He wanted her to be healthy and happy, but the situation was special, and it was her first pregnancy, so they had to be careful.
"Don't get agitated, I'll get you some hot water."
Guo Xiaoxiao glared at him without saying a word. She was furious. Her stomach upset subsided after a while.
Carlos sighed and went to boil water for her, then cooked some broth and brought it in.
"Drink it, it'll replenish your energy."
Guo Xiaoxiao looked at him with a stubborn gaze, and Carlos couldn't help but smile, kissing her forehead with tenderness that was almost overwhelming.
"Be good, okay?"
Guo Xiaoxiao turned her head away and refused to cooperate; it was all his fault!
Carlos sighed, scooped up a spoonful of water, blew on it to cool it, and held it to her lips: "Drink some to warm your stomach first."
Guo Xiaoxiao wouldn't eat, and Carlos didn't force her. He blew on it to cool it down before bringing it to her lips again, but Guo Xiaoxiao dodged, and the spoon fell to the ground.
Carlos wasn't annoyed. He picked up the spoon, wiped it clean, scooped up another spoonful, tested it against his lips to make sure it wasn't too hot, and then brought it to her mouth again.
Guo Xiaoxiao turned her head away, unwilling to open her mouth, but Carlos patiently persuaded her.
"Have a little something to drink"
The gentle tone startled Guo Xiaoxiao, then made her even angrier.
Guo Xiaoxiao, however, did not comply with his wishes and turned her face away from him.
Carlos didn't mind and just kept coaxing her. In the end, Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't resist and finished the bowl of soup.
Are you feeling better?
Guo Xiaoxiao snorted coldly
"None of your business"
Carlos has figured out Guo Xiaoxiao's habits. He's giving her room to throw tantrums. As long as he's patient enough, she'll eventually get annoyed and give in to his wishes.
In less than a month, Guo Xiaoxiao will lay snake eggs and soon have baby snakes. For the sake of the baby snakes, Guo Xiaoxiao will become even more dependent on them.
…
Beautiful imaginations remain beautiful, but the impact of reality is devastating.
Randy led Ji Xing and the others to attack, and Qianye also came to help, leading his people ashore. Another male from Linzhi, a five-star ring inheritor beastman scorpion beast, and Will joined the attack.
Carlos received news that the orcs came from the Southern Hemisphere, carried over one by one by fish-like beasts.
The North and South haven't had any contact for years, and the fish and beasts never come ashore unless there's trouble. What's going on? Why is Randy with them?
Even if Guo Xiaoxiao was deaf, she could hear that something big was happening outside; such a commotion clearly indicated a fight had broken out.
She walked cautiously, clutching her stomach, listening intently.
Sure enough, a scream was heard.
Could it be that foreign aid has arrived? Guo Xiaoxiao was filled with anticipation, feeling on the verge of a breakdown from being locked up. Could she finally get out?
The noise continued until nightfall. Carlos returned exhausted; he hadn't had time to prepare anything for Guo Xiaoxiao after a busy day, so he hastily grilled some meat and brought it in for her.
"Has Xiaoxiao been staying put?"
Guo Xiaoxiao, pregnant with the baby snake, gets hungry quickly. She ate all the fruit on the table today. She took the food and asked casually...
Has someone called?
Carlos's expression was strange: "Don't worry, I'll drive them away."
Guo Xiaoxiao: "Who is it?"
Carlos: "It's not Arthur, anyway."
Guo Xiaoxiao was speechless: "I asked, but I didn't say it was him."
Carlos softened his tone: "Xiaoxiao, we're destined to be together. Don't think about them anymore."
Guo Xiaoxiao finished her meal quietly. Held in Carlos's arms, she could feel the excitement radiating from his body after the battle.
My heart was racing and I couldn't calm down.
Pressed against his chest, Carlos trembled slightly, his body colder than usual, as if he had just taken a cold shower.
…
Human emotions are incredible. Because we have seven emotions and six desires, we are more complex. We think too much, worry too much, and are unable to make the right decisions.
Guo Xiaoxiao shouldn't have sympathized with him; Carlos had done many bad things and was cold-blooded and ruthless towards everyone except her.
He never treated the other females as human beings, nor did he value the lives of the Arthurs, and even disregarded her wishes, causing her to become pregnant with the snake.
But he's genuinely good to her, so good that you can't find any fault with him. Perhaps he can only find a sense of validation through a combination of gentle persuasion and force.
“…”
Carlos held her for a long time without moving. Guo Xiaoxiao looked up at him and found that he had fallen asleep, his eyes closed, his breathing long and even. She moved slightly, and he immediately woke up, staring at her with a tired smile.
The two remained silent, gazing at each other for a moment. Guo Xiaoxiao rolled over, lay face down on the mat, and turned her back to him as she lay down to sleep. This time, Carlos did nothing; he simply held her as they fell asleep together.
