Chapter 246
“Never mind. Doesn’t look like there’s much meat. It won’t even fill me up,” Raven said casually.
Dominic’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing that.
He thought the focus should be that he was soft, delicate, and good at warming beds.
But Raven didn’t even glance at Dominic’s reaction. She turned to Cassian and asked, “Do you have time later? If you do. come with me to the pet market?”
Dominic’s soft, delicate body froze instantly.
In that moment, Raven’s previous words about finding him a female fox flashed through his mind.
He didn’t believe she would do it.
Cassian gave Dominic a cool glance, then looked at Raven and asked, “Planning to butcher it and get a new pet?”
Dominic involuntarily shuddered.
And just like that, the grudge in his eyes toward Cassian deepened even more.
Either Cassian wanted to roast him for food, or he wanted to ditch him and let this woman pick a new pet. Dominic swore one day he would make this damn man regret how he was treating him.
Hearing Cassian’s overly serious tone, Raven couldn’t help but smile in amusement. She leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth before teasing, “You’re even jealous of a fox?”
Cassian subconsciously reached up to touch the spot she kissed, but paused, thinking it might make her feel smug. So, he stopped himself.
Then, his handsome face took on a serious expression as he muttered, “Not jealous.”
Raven didn’t say much more. She just smiled deeper.
Moments later, Raven and Cassian appeared in one of the most popular pet stores in Regalhold.
By now, Dominic seemed to have given up resisting. He lay limply across Raven’s shoulder, full of despair and hopelessness.
But even though he had resigned himself to his fate, Raven clearly had no intention of sparing him.
Once they reached the fox section, where there were more than a dozen breeds on display, she very democratically picked up Dominic from her shoulder.
She asked, “Come on! See any you like?”
Dominic was speechless and unhappy.
He knew resistance was useless, but still, he tried to protest, “These low–level breeds aren’t worthy of…”
Before he could finish, his gaze suddenly locked on a palm–sized, snow–white fox with icy blue eyes.
Raven raised an eyebrow at his expression.
Just a moment ago, he was all about defending his chastity to the death. And now he was stunned and couldn’t look away. So much for being all talk.

Despite her inner sarcasm, Raven still pointed to the little blue–eyed fox and said to the clerk nearby, “Could you take that one out for me?”
Dominic said nothing, still staring fixedly at the blue–eyed fox, eyes filled with disbelief.
Soon, the blue–eyed fox was brought out by the clerk.
The moment it was released, it blinked once and leapt onto Raven’s shoulder, then pounced straight onto Dominic and began affectionately rubbing up against him.
Raven smirked teasingly, “Well, well. You’re quite the hit with female foxes.”
Dominic, frantically trying to escape, fluffed up in outrage. “Who told you he was a female fox?”
And with that, he gave the blue–eyed fox a solid slap across the face, sending it flying.
However, the very moment it hit the ground, the blue–eyed fox gave a light push off its hind legs. It pounced right back onto him again….
Dominic swatted him off again with disgust.
But the blue–eyed fox clearly had a heart full of perseverance. Each time it was slapped away, it immediately launched itself back onto Dominic.
After the eighth time getting pounced on again, Dominic suddenly realized that every time he pushed the other fox away, he was getting touched first.
By the ninth time, he gave up swatting and instead solemnly warned, “Don’t touch me. I don’t swing that way!”
But just as he said that, the blue–eyed fox blinked its big watery eyes as if trying to understand. Then, it suddenly leaned closer. It gave Dominic a big kiss.
