Chapter 332 A Playdate

“Jaden went to your parents place.” Zachary pulled open Matthew’s collar and leaned in to check. “Are you hurt anywhere?”

Matthew smiled and kissed his forehead “No. It’s hot outside. Let’s head home first.”

Zachary smiled as well. “That was a long trip–you sit, and I’ll pull you.”

Matthew couldn’t bear to let him do that. He reached out, grabbed Zachary by the waist, lifted him onto the cart, then held the handle. “Let’s go home.”

That night, Matthew bundled up Jaden’s small pillow, pajamas, and toy in a sheet, grabbed the child, and went straight to Sean and Lanny’s place. When he entered the cave and didn’t see anyone, he tossed Jaden onto the bed and turned to leave, his back looking incredibly swift and carefree.

Jaden was already used to his father’s unreasonable antics. Calmly, he made his bed, arranged his pillow and toy neatly, then went outside to sit on the swing under the tree, waiting for Sean and Lanny to return.

When Sean and Lanny saw the small figure swaying on the swing, they quickly walked over. “Jaden, why are you here?”

Jaden jumped off the swing and said obediently, “My Alpha kicked me out. Can I sleep here tonight?”

“Of course you can.” Lanny bent down and ruffled his hair. “This is your home too.”

Sean couldn’t help but complain, “That brat still says I’m unreliable! He’s not even as good as me!”

Lanny held Jaden’s hand and smiled. “Come on, let’s go inside.”

As the weather got hotter, there were more insects–especially with trees and bushes all around. Wild mosquitoes, powdery moths flapping everywhere, and hard–shelled beetles flying into things…

If one wasn’t careful, they’d fly right into the house.

Most of them were manageable, but what troubled Zachary the most were mosquitoes. Not only did they buzz annoyingly, but their bites felt like they were drawing blood. And for some reason, they always targeted him–leaving big, swollen, red, itchy bumps. After one night, it felt like he could wake up anemic.

With no other choice, Zachary used some light gauze from home to make a simple mosquito net, propping it over the bed with bamboo poles. But it was too stuffy once covered, so in the end, he boiled mugwort and mint into water and sprinkled it around the cave.

Still, he got bitten from time to time. Especially once he stepped outside, the mosquitoes swarmed him like it was an all–you–can–eat buffet, always choosing spots he couldn’t even see.

Matthew had originally wanted to do something about it. When he saw the red spots and scratch marks all over Zachary, his heart ached. He went to Bruce to get some ointment, carefully applied it to him, then carried a torch and walked around the cave again and again, catching insects in every corner.

After getting into bed, he took the palm fan Zachary had woven and gently tanned him, driving away mosquitoes. Zachary squinted in comfort, cupped Matthew’s face, and leaned in to plant several loud

Early the next morning, Matthew went to Bruce again. He heard there was a certain herb that repelled insects, so he followed him into the mountains. After half a day of clirubing up and down, they finally found a few patches.

When they got back. Matthew washed the herbs, boiled a big pot of clear water, and soaked all of Zachary’s clothes and bedsheets in it. After drying under the sun, they carried a faint, pleasant scent.

He also set some aside, dried and crushed them, wrapped them in gauze, and sewed them into a small sachet for Zachary to wear on his wrist.

Zachary was deeply touched. The last time someone had made him something like this was his grandmother, over twenty years ago. He lifted his wrist and looked at it again and again, almost tearing up.

Matthew just sat there, saying nothing, watching him with a smile.

The relationship between the Vulture Tribe and the Black Panther Tribe grew even closer. An alliance of land and sky was the best choice for both sides.

The happiest of all were Little Baldy and Taylor. Both were lively and full of energy, always coming up with mischievous ideas together. With Jaden as their clever backing, they became even more unstoppable.

After the market expansion, it had become the busiest place around. Almost all resource trading happened

there.

After breakfast, Taylor picked up a small wooden bucker and the fishing rod Zachary had made for them. planning to invite Jaden and Little Baldy to go fishing by the river.

Jaden wasn’t home, so Taylor went to find Little Baldy first. After circling around near the marketplace, he finally spotted him under a tree.

Taylor ran over. “Why are you here by yourself?”

Little Baldy looked up and brushed the dust off his clothes. “Taylor, you’re here.”

Taylor suddenly frowned, staring at the scratch marks on his arm. “What happened here?”

Little Baldy’s eyes were a little red, but he still shook his head. “It’s nothing. Taylor, let’s go. Weren’t we going fishing?”

Taylor didn’t believe him and grew anxious. “Just tell me! Aren’t we good friends?”

Across from them, under another tree, stood a few kids around Taylor’s age. They kept smirking, occasionally touching their own hair, then laughing even harder.

Taylor grabbed Little Baldy’s arm, his expression serious. “Were they bullying you?”

One of the kids raised his brows mockingly when he heard that. “Baldy…”

Taylor glared at them. “Who are you talking about?”

“The one without any hair on his head, of course!”
