Rosalie had always treated him well. Somewhere along the way, Declan realized that his dislike for her had faded. In its place grew a sense of responsibility he hadn’t even noticed forming.

He was afraid she might get hurt. More than that, he liked seeing her smile when she felt proud of herself.

With his eyes lowered, Declan walked back toward the shop. But the moment he reached the door, his steps froze. There was another crowd outside.

His breath caught. He pushed through the layers of people and rushed inside and saw Rosalie surrounded by a circle of beastmen.

Declan’s eyes turned red. He charged forward and pulled Rosalie behind him, letting out a sharp roar. “What do you think you’re doing?”

Rosalie quickly grabbed his arm and explained, a little embarrassed, “Declan, you misunderstood. They’re here to buy quilts.”

Declan froze. He turned back to look at her, his red eyes slowly calming. His rising body heat cooled, and his pounding heart finally slowed.

Without another word, Declan pushed through the crowd and headed to the backyard. Rosalie gave an awkward smile to the others. “My husband is hot-tempered. Please don’t mind him.”

The customer who bought quilts was the same beastman who had first purchased ten baskets of rice and received a free quilt.

His matriarch hated the cold. Ever since she started sleeping under that quilt, she has stopped complaining altogether. Because of that, his standing in her eyes had risen quite a bit.

This time, he came to buy a few more. He planned to layer them under her bedding so she wouldn’t keep saying the bed felt too hard.

Rosalie smiled as she sold him several quilts. In the backyard, Declan stood there, scratching his head.

He didn’t understand what was wrong with him. Why was he paying so much attention to everything Rosalie did?

He looked up at the sky. The clouds were dark and heavy, as if a storm was coming. His heart felt just as unclear.

The weather kept getting colder. More and more people came to the rice shop not to buy rice, but quilts.

Chapter 67 Preparation for the Chillwave

These quilts were far warmer than a single layer of animal hide. They were thicker, heavier, and held heat much better.

The stock that had once piled up in the backyard sold out fast. Rosalie also prepared one quilt for each of her husbands.

Even though beastmen had fur to keep warm, no one knew how harsh the chillwave would be.

When Monica lived in the north, even strong, thick-skinned beastmen had frozen to death. Rosalie didn’t want that to happen to her family.

She also had several thick quilts delivered to Grace and her little wolf cub, as well as Monica and Gael. They were enough to help them survive the chillwave.

Rosalie spent the whole morning busy at the rice shop. After that, she went to settle accounts with Julien.

Once rent and Julien’s share were deducted, her net profit for this period was 200 coins.

She split most of it among her husband. After everyone was paid, only 40 coins were left for herself. Without their help, she couldn’t run such a large operation alone.

Rice and cotton fields needed watching. The shop needed order. Some people also had to go hunting.

Before the chillwave arrived, they needed to gather enough game. Only then could they stay indoors during the snow and make it through safely.

With her share of the money, Rosalie bought some high-quality animal hides. She planned to go home and sew a few thick coats.

Just yesterday, she had noticed several big holes in Cameron’s shirt. It was worn thin and barely holding together.

After buying daily necessities, Rosalie returned to the rice shop and saw Carina waiting at the door.

It hadn’t been long since they last met, but Carina looked much thinner. Dark circles hung under her eyes. She stood there so frail it seemed a gust of wind could knock her over.

When Carina saw Rosalie, her eyes lit up. She took two steps forward and then started coughing again.

Reva supported her from the side. Rosalie let Carina hold her hand and asked, “Mother, why are you here?”
