“I only just arrived. You were sleeping so deeply that I didn’t want to wake you.”

Rosalie walked over to Monica, nodded at the woman beside her, and greeted her. “Mrs. Sherman, you’re here as well.”

Yuna held a swaddled newborn, an impossibly small black panther cub, sleeping soundly, its breathing light and steady.

She passed the baby to the beastman next to her, then clasped Rosalie’s hand, her voice sincere. “Rosalie, Monica is truly fortunate to have a friend like you.”

“If it weren’t for you, Monica might have-”

Her voice caught with emotion. Even as the city’s matriarch, Yuna’s eyes reddened and shimmered.

“Mom, why bring that up? I’m fine now, aren’t I?”

Monica stood and moved to Rosalie’s side. She placed a hand on Rosalie’s stomach, smiling brightly. “I heard you’re pregnant too?”

Micah set a plate of candied fruit on the table. Rosalie picked one up and slipped it into Monica’s palm, and the two of them sat down together.

Rosalie nodded. “Mm. About a month along.”

“Do you know who the father is?”

Rosalie shook her head, then dropped her gaze, her hand resting over her belly as she smiled. “Whoever it is, I’m content.”

Monica’s eyes slid to the side and landed on the faint red marks along Rosalie’s pale neck. She teased softly, “Rosalie, you’re pregnant now; be gentle for the baby’s sake.”

Following Monica’s gaze, Rosalie’s face heated instantly. Elijah, seriously? Leaving marks there of all places.

They chatted for a while longer before Rosalie suddenly turned to Yuna. “Mrs. Sherman, do you know Harris, the owner of House of Delicacies?”

Yuna paused to think, then nodded.

“I do. What’s going on?”

Rosalie explained about the rice shop being wrecked. Yuna frowned deeply and answered carefully.

“The first owners of House of Delicacies weren’t Harris. It originally belonged to another pair.”

“The female owner passed away, and her beastman chose to die with her. After that, Harris appeared and took control.”

“As for anything beyond that, I’m not very sure.”

She hesitated, then added, as if recalling something, “Oh, right. I’ve met Harris a few times. He looks… different. You can tell immediately he isn’t from around here. High nose bridge, and his eyes are very striking in color.”

“Thank you.

That helps.”

Rosalie thanked her and quietly stored the information away.

Afterward, she invited them to stay for lunch. It was a rare occasion. Rosalie cooked herself. Simple, light dishes, along with a potato and pork stew.

It was Yuna’s first time tasting Rosalie’s food, and she hadn’t expected it to be so good.

After the meal, she pulled Rosalie aside and asked cautiously, “Rosalie, if your beastmen ever mistreat you, tell me. I can step in.”

Seeing how careful Yuna was being, Rosalie couldn’t help laughing. She understood the misunderstanding. Normally, females never cooked, especially not food this good.

Yuna had reason to worry that Rosalie might be being mistreated by her beastmen.

If that were the case, as someone whose daughter’s life Rosalie had saved, she would intervene without hesitation.

Rosalie shook her head. “My beastmen treat me very well. I just like cooking something tasty for myself sometimes.”

“And since I’m pregnant, they practically forbid me from stepping into the kitchen.”

As she spoke, Micah entered from the backyard, scanned Rosalie from head to toe, saw her safely seated with Mrs. Sherman, and finally relaxed before turning away,

Watching how attentively Micah hovered over Rosalie, Yuna visibly relaxed as well.
