Spoiled By My Nine Beast Husbands (Emma Tibarn) novel Chapter 52

**When She Opened the Door to the Life She Was Afraid to Live by Nora Vale Kingsley**
**Chapter 52: Emma’s Doubts**

“Ms. Tibarn, I’m excited to present to you this specially designed Gravicar from NexusPrime Tech. It’s tailored just for you this year! It boasts enhanced control, superior speed, and a formidable defense system. Why don’t you give it a try? If it doesn’t meet your expectations, we can easily arrange for a different model,” Damian announced, his voice full of enthusiasm.

Emma’s eyes widened in astonishment as she processed his words.

Was the universe playing tricks on her today? This was the same Damian, known for his frugality, now offering her something so extravagant?

“You’re actually giving this Gravicar to me?” The incredulity in her voice was palpable, as she struggled to comprehend the gesture.

Damian’s expression softened as he observed her surprise. A gentle smile graced his lips. “I’m your match, Emma. In the future, I will be your mate. Everything I possess, including my very being, is yours. So, how could this Gravicar be considered a gift? It already belongs to you.”

Emma’s mind raced as she recalled having seen this model on the NexusPrime Tech website. It was a marvel of engineering—there was no price tag attached to it, which only added to its allure. This Gravicar was as powerful and formidable as a small battleship. The company had cleverly ensured that only those who could afford such luxury would even know its cost, leaving the rest to wonder.

But something about this entire situation felt off. Deep down, she sensed a disquieting undercurrent. Damian was typically so miserly; if he was suddenly being generous, there had to be a hidden agenda. Yet, here she was, practically penniless. Even if she pooled together all the star coins Drake and Edric had gifted her, she still wouldn’t be able to afford this Gravicar.

What could Damian possibly want from her? Was it her? If that were the case, he would have pursued her from the very beginning. But he hadn’t shown any interest in becoming her mate until now.

Her gaze fell to the small black bird nestled in her arms. Surely, that couldn’t be the reason. No one else seemed to care for him like she did, so it was unlikely Damian had any interest in the creature.

Just then, Edric approached, his brow furrowed with concern. “Emma, why are you hesitating? Aren’t you excited to try the Gravicar? Is there something wrong with the one Damian selected for you?”

Emma’s eyes darted to Edric, taking in his composed demeanor. He wasn’t displaying his tail, and his combat suit was impeccably buttoned. He exuded a gentle and polite aura. She had heard whispers that, due to the scarcity of females in the interstellar realm, many males…

No, no! That thought was utterly unacceptable.

Edric is mine.

She shook her head vigorously, as if trying to dispel the errant thoughts swirling in her mind. What was she even contemplating? Had she completely lost her grip on reality?

“Emma, what’s troubling you?” Damian asked, his concern evident as he and Edric exchanged worried glances upon seeing her sudden movement.

The Gravicar from NexusPrime Tech was nothing short of extraordinary. Its speed was unparalleled. The journey to the forest had taken nearly an entire day, yet the return trip was completed in a mere two hours. It wasn’t just fast; it felt remarkably smooth, as if she were lounging on her living room couch, and before she realized it, they had arrived at the interstellar hospital in the city.

The doctor conducted a thorough examination, confirming that she was in good health, which finally eased the tension for both Edric and Damian.

Emma also took the opportunity to inquire about Lucien’s condition. The doctor confirmed that while Damian’s kick had inflicted some internal injuries, they were not severe. He prescribed two potions, assuring her that with some rest, Lucien would be back to his usual self in just a few days.

As they returned to the villa, Emma felt an overwhelming need to freshen up. The moment they stepped inside, Edric promptly took Lucien from her arms.

That creature had been nestled against her throughout the entire journey, and now it dared to venture into her room?

It didn’t deserve such privilege.

He hadn’t even graced her room with his presence yet.

“Emma, go and rest. I’ll handle Coalball for you,” Edric said earnestly, his tone firm yet gentle, hoping to ease any worries she might have had.
