The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1988

Wynter didn't respond to Dalton's question. She simply turned over and continued to sleep.

Seeing this, Dalton's eyes glinted with amusement. He reached out to pull the blanket over her.

As he looked at her beautiful features, he couldn't resist reaching out to touch her face. It felt like touching the surface of a boiled egg—smooth, elastic, and tempting him to take a bite out of it.

After he was done, he slowly walked out of the room.

Wolf had been playing with Sadie's guide dog ever since he returned, a wide smile on his face. "This dog is really obedient," he said happily.

Wherever he went, the guide dog would follow. He occasionally stopped to feed it some food, after which it continued to follow him around.

Seeing this, Dalton's eyes deepened in thought.

Wolf had arrived in Havenia before him and Wynter, and he'd also learned to speak here.

Dalton was aware of the reason for that—although people had taught him the language, the most important thing was that his slumbering beast consciousness was gradually awakening.

Those who'd previously been beasts of chaos knew that once they were reincarnated as humans, their previous consciousness would be sealed away.

Their human side would take the reins, but as time went by, their sealed consciousness would also gradually break free. For example, they would gradually relearn speech or recall the things they'd done before.

When that time came, Wolf would very likely no longer be "Wolf" but regress into Chaos.

Wolf ran over to Dalton's side. "Let's play together, Mr. Leprechaun! This dog is just too cute!"

Dalton replied aloofly, "You go ahead, but don't make too much noise. Wynter's sleeping in Sadie's room."

"Oh, okay." Wolf nodded, and his cheerful voice gradually quietened down.

As Dalton watched the innocent Wolf, he couldn't help but shake his head. Once Wolf awakened, this side of him would be nowhere to be seen.

Chaos had always been by Dalton's side. After he fell into a deep sleep, Chaos had also been reincarnated as a human. If the latter were to awaken, he would return to his previous appearance.

As Dalton thought of this, he looked toward Wynter, who was lying on the bed, through the open door.

"Will you be upset if Wolf disappears?" he murmured.

Dalton was aware of many things, and he always insisted that heaven's will could not be defied. Yet, Wynter's presence seemed to have changed many things.

He lifted his head and looked toward the mainland, right in the direction of Mt. Etna—a forbidden area of sorts.

Nobody knew when Wolf would awaken. That would depend entirely on himself.

If they wanted to suppress Wolf's beast consciousness, they would have no choice but to take him to Mt. Etna and strengthen the seal.

At that moment, Wolf was standing in front of him, staring unblinkingly at him with his head tilted. "What's going through your mind, Mr. Leprechaun? Your brows are all furrowed up like an old man!"

Dalton looked away. "Has anybody told you that you talk a lot nowadays? I much prefer the previous version of you who couldn't speak. Previously, I could at least use money to send you away, but now I have to use my words, too."

Wolf snickered and made a face at him. "Nobody's told me that. It's fine as long as Boss likes me, though. Everyone else is unimportant!"

Dalton lowered his gaze. "Do you like me?"

Wolf shook his head. "If not for the fact that Boss likes you, I wouldn't ever get close to you. I've always had the feeling that you're very dangerous!"

He even enunciated the last few words one by one for emphasis.

Dalton chuckled and echoed, "I'm very dangerous, you say?"
