"Uncle!" The sweet voice rang in the forest abruptly.
Aside from the sweet voice and tinkling giggle that greeted Neil, there was also… a frog that she held in her hands!
He was shocked when Aurelia thrust her hands forward to show him the frog!
Neil had always hated the cold and slimy cold-blooded animals. The frog stared at him with its beady eyes before letting out a loud croak after a while.
All Neil felt was a loud rush of blood to his head before his scalp went numb, and he let out a loud, involuntary "Ah!".
Aurelia jumped in surprise and could not help tightening her hold on the frog as she stared wide-eyed at Neil.
Neil's face reddened like a boiled shrimp a while later as his lips pressed into a thin line. There was a moment of silence before his voice rumbled like a volcano eruption. "Aurelia!"
The girl froze.
Neil was shaking in rage. Had she just gone after a frog while he professed his love!?
Both of them stared right into each other's eyes—Neil's were bubbling with anger, while Aurelia's were terror-stricken.
Another moment later, Neil's rage simmered and melted into fondness, and Aurelia's frightened faze zipped back to life.
The frog that was caught in a life-threatening crisis just now finally escaped its doom, and with perfect timing, it croaked.
Neil paused before he huffed a laugh.
Aurelia hurried to admit her fault. "Uncle, sorry, I didn't know that you're afraid of frogs…"
"Who's afraid!?" Neil was not about to admit to it. How was he supposed to maintain his masculinity and ego if word about this got out?
"But your reaction just now—"
"I was angry at you!"
