He let go of my hand despondently, feeling as though he were in a daze.

It was as if he had lost something vital.

But no matter how hard he tried to chase them, he could no longer capture the moments he once so carelessly ignored.

After a long while, he finally buried his face in his hands and wept.

Caspian looked at me, his expression grave.

"You want me to wear this? No way."

I raised my voice a notch. "Are you sure?"

"Positive."

I waved my hand dismissively. "Fine, I won't force you."

"I'll just give Hunter a call. He’d definitely be more than happy to wear it for me."

I watched his expression out of the corner of my eye while pretending to be deep in thought.

"Now that I think about it... his tail is so fluffy. I’ve never actually petted it. I bet it feels amazing!"

Hearing this, Caspian’s face instantly changed.

He knew about the last time Hunter came to the house.

He had seen Hunter in that servant outfit and had dismissed him with jealous disdain, calling him a "nuisance of a fox."

Hearing me say this now...

He gritted his teeth.

He snatched the high-end male servant outfit from the bed and marched into the bathroom without another word.

I teased him from outside the door.

"Why so shy? Won't even let me watch you change. We're going to end up seeing everything anyway..."

The next second.

Caspian walked out wearing the servant outfit.

I nearly had a nosebleed.

How could any fox-spirit even compare to this! He was absolute perfection on earth!!

He let out a cold smirk and stepped toward me.

I accidentally tumbled back onto the sofa. He pinned down my struggling legs, hooking them over his waist.

His voice was low and raspy:

"Little thing, it’s your turn."

The day of the engagement party.

All the city's VIPs gathered to bring gifts and congratulations to Caspian and me.

He had successfully mastered his human form.

Dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, his physical presence was explosive, radiating an intensity that made people flush.

Several high-society ladies approached, eyeing him with bold indiscretion.

Some even pulled out their phones, their gazes burning as they asked for his contact information.

Caspian turned them all down with a polite smile.

Then, he retreated to my side.

I pursed my lips, feeling a bit territorial. I stood on my tiptoes and gave his cheek a resentful kiss.

"Damn it. If I’d known, I wouldn't have let you dress so handsomely."

The corners of Caspian’s mouth quirked up.

A low chuckle vibrated in his throat.

"Jealous?"

I turned my back to him.

I stayed silent, ignoring him.

Caspian rested his head against the side of my neck, whispering suggestively:

"Don't be mad. There are some things... I only wear for your eyes."

My face burned.

I quickly pinched his waist and shot him a glare.

"Don't talk nonsense! Everyone is watching!"

He lowered his head, smiling without saying another word.

He followed obediently behind me.

I didn't hear a single word of the vows being read.

I only knew that Caspian’s eyes were filled entirely with me.

He supported my waist, his left hand covering mine, our fingers interlaced tightly.

The warmth of our palms merged.

His gaze was deep and solemn.

"Sienna, we Nagas only ever recognize one partner in a lifetime. Once we form a bond with a human, we will never betray them until the day we die."

The engagement ring slid slowly onto my ring finger.

"Sienna, I love you."
