Chapter 757 Clingy Alaric
“This is just fine.”
Emma felt that she wouldn’t be able to leave the bed if she let him continue with it.
She had to admit that she had lost.
“It’s late. I want to get up. I’m hungry.”
From yesterday afternoon until now, Alaric had only given her two nutrient potions. She hadn’t eaten any real food.
Alaric sat up with her, his eyes lingering on the mark on her chest–the beast mark he had left.

Seeing her reach for clothes, he immediately opened his storage band and took out a set he had prepared earlier. The clothes he chose were soft and comfortable.
‘Let me help you get dressed,” he said gently, holding the shirt while supporting her arm.
‘I can do it myself,” Emma replied.
She felt that the gesture was too intimate.
She tried to take the clothes away, but Alaric didn’t let go.
‘Why won’t you let me help you?” he asked, suddenly looking hurt.
He leaned closer, staring straight into her eyes.
‘Is it because I didn’t perform well last night?”
What did that have to do with anything? Emma thought while shaking her head.
‘No, I just want to dress myself.”
“But as your mate, taking care of you is my duty and honor.” He sounded even more pitiful now.
“If you refuse, it must mean I didn’t perform well yesterday. You’re punishing me.” As he spoke, his eyes even seemed to fill with
tears.
“If that’s the case, I need to reflect on myself and make up for it.” Then, he leaned forward again.
“I’ll make sure you are satisfied, Emma.”
Hearing his words, Emma didn’t know what to say.
Alaric really loved acting, and yet she kept falling for it. She felt that she must have lost her mind because of him.
“Fine, you can dress me.” She really couldn’t win against him.
As soon as her words fell, Alaric’s sad expression disappeared instantly. He grinned and said, “I know you are satisfied with me.” Then, he carefully helped her put on the clothes, buttoning them slowly. His fingers lingered around her collarbone, occasionally

After dressing, he followed her to wash up like a loyal tail–handing her toothpaste and towels. If Emma hadn’t stopped him, he might have washed her face too.
Finally, they left the room together.
In the dining area, everyone else was already there.
When they appeared, the noisy room suddenly became quiet for a moment.
Alaric looked refreshed and radiant. His usual cold elegance now seemed softened, and he practically radiated with the fact that he had mated with Emma and was very satisfied.
On the other hand, Emma was fully dressed, but the red mark on her neck was impossible to hide.
She had seen it in the mirror earlier and decided not to bother covering it. After all, this wasn’t the first time, and she was already
used to it.
When Corvin saw Silas, he immediately stood up and sat beside Emma.
“Emma, I made the porridge you like. Try it and see if it tastes good.” He served her a bowl attentively.
Then, his eyes briefly noticed the mark on her neck. At that moment, he pursed his lips.
Last night, he had thought Alaric only wanted to talk privately with Emma. He hadn’t expected them to become mates.
Corvin felt that everyone in the house seemed better at competing for her attention than him, and it made him spend the whole night thinking about it. He realized he couldn’t rely only on Emma’s affection. He needed to show his care too.
Then, Corvin cleared his throat and tried to sound gentle.
‘Emma, you must be very tired from last night, right?”
In that split second, Emma nearly spat out her porridge in shock.
