Micah set down his fork and took a bite of the steamed rice. The moment the rice touched his tongue, he felt how different it was from corn oatmeal. It was soft and smooth, with a light sweetness that came out the longer he chewed.

He swallowed and looked at Rosalie with a gentle smile. “It’s really good.”

The rich sauce from the skillet beef and peppers soaked into the rice. It was salty and spicy, hot enough to make sweat bead on your forehead. One bite made you want another.

Even Elijah, who usually didn’t eat much, finished two full plates of food.

The skillet beef and peppers were a hit. The candied tomatoes Rosalie made later were just as popular.

Even the green peppers were gone, scraped clean from the plate.

As the head chef of the household, seeing every dish emptied filled Rosalie with pride.

She left the beastmen to clean up the table. Then she picked up Sixto, rubbed his soft belly, and looked at his empty bowl.

“Good boy, Sixto. You ate everything.”

Night fell. After washing up by the river, Rosalie looked back and saw light glowing from her house.

Candlelight flickered, casting the tall shadow of someone inside.

Thinking it was Micah, she smiled and pushed the door open. “Micah, you’re here—”

The moment she saw who it was, she froze. Heat rushed up her neck and burned at her ears.

Cameron stood inside, shirtless. A strip of animal-hide cloth hung low at his waist. A few bright pink flowers were tucked behind his ears. Flower petals were scattered across the bed, and he lay there in a teasing pose, looking seductively at her.

Cameron already had sharp, hunter eyes. When he focused on someone, it was hard to look away. Right now, he was clearly flirting with her on purpose.

He was pale, his firm waist catching the candlelight. Rosalie’s eyes drifted lower-

She turned her head at once, heart racing, and swallowed. “W-what are you doing?”

Cameron chuckled softly. The sound alone made her chest tighten. He got off the bed and

He hooked a finger around a strand of her hair and twirled it slowly. With his other hand, he gently squeezed her burning-red earlobe.

“Rosalie,” he said lightly, “don’t you like my look?”

His voice sounded the same as always, but it made her face grow hot.

Rosalie lifted her head and met his eyes. They were overflowing with warmth; there was so much of it that she felt like she might drown in it.

The candle crackled. It felt as if something exploded in her mind, leaving it blank. She couldn’t think. She could only see him.

They stared at each other in silence. Just as Cameron lowered his head and leaned closer to Rosalie-

“Meow!” A sharp cry cut through the air. Sixto shot forward like lightning and scratched Cameron’s arm, leaving a thin line of blood. He landed between them. Under Cameron’s angry glare, Sixto jumped straight into Rosalie’s arms, licking his fur as if nothing had happened.

Rosalie snapped back to her senses. She lowered her head and pushed Cameron out the door.

“It’s late. Go to sleep!”

With a loud bang, the door slammed shut. Cameron stood alone outside, grinding his teeth. That stupid cat had ruined everything.

Inside, Rosalie leaned against the door, her face burning.

She didn’t know why, but just now it felt as if her mind had gone completely blank while looking at Cameron.

To be honest, her first impression of him had been simple. Cameron was cute and a little

foolish.

He could forget all the hurt she once caused him, just because of a few good meals.

Rosalie had always pampered Cameron. She treated him as a younger brother who wanted her attention.
