The Ninth Bride (Samantha and Finley) novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265 Your Meat's Not Tasty Anyway
Samantha had just been showering Finley with compliments about how adorable he was. So, how did it suddenly turn into Unity being the cuter one? And the way Samantha playfully pinched Unity's little face—why did it feel like she was pinching his own?

Was this merely his imagination? Or had Samantha begun to treat him like a mere dog?

"Sam."

Samantha glanced up as Finley approached, holding Unity snugly in his arms. Rising gracefully, she moved to his side. "What's up?"

"Am I cuter, or is Unity cuter?"

Finley's question left Samantha momentarily stunned. She blinked, wondering if she had misheard. "Finley, Unity is a dog, and you're a person. How could you possibly compare yourself to a dog?"

It seemed as though Finley was in a playful competition with Unity. He earnestly asked again, "So, who's cuter? Me or him?"

Samantha chuckled softly. "You're both adorable."

Finley had nothing to say to that. "You know how to keep everyone happy."

With a gentle smile, Samantha placed Unity into Finley's arms. "Finley, let me tell you. Unity is exceptionally clever. He can understand everything you say. If you don't believe me, just ask him."

Finley's gaze fell on Unity nestled in his arms.

Unity lifted a paw, tapping gently on the back of Finley's hand, their eyes meeting in a brief, knowing exchange. For a fleeting moment, Finley realized that he was not even as skilled at charming people as this little dog was.

Setting Unity down, Finley allowed the pup to frolic and play. Almost as if understanding, Unity scampered off to a corner, happily bouncing a ball around.

Finley turned to Samantha. "Are you hungry?"

"Yes! So, what exactly are you planning to make for breakfast?"

Finley pondered for a moment before answering, "I'll make whatever you want."

His offer made Samantha pause, lost in thought.

After a beat, she leaned closer, teasing him with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "I want to eat you."
