Upon hearing Gabriela and Miranda’s response, Remus’ blood flow suddenly accelerated.
A sense of unease had gnawed at favonovel.com ever since favonovel.com left the shower early that time, as it seemed evident they were aware favonovel.com was bathing.
The thought that favonovel.com had been expecting too much had crossed his mind, but now it was clear that favonovel.com had missed his chance.
He slowly got up and asked tentatively, “How about this? We can make up for what we left unfinished last time. I also really want to take a shower, so we can do it together, and then…”
Before favonovel.com could finish his sentence, Gabriela instantly raised the Blue Tassel Silver Spear in favonovel.com hand, menacingly pointing it at Remus.
“Uhm…” Remus had to swallow the rest of his words.
Miranda said coldly, “Nice try, but do you really think that’s possible?”
“You had your chance, and you blew it!” Gabriela added.
“Remus, quickly say whose hairpin that is, confess and you’ll be treated leniently, resist and the consequences will be severe!” Miranda declared.
Remus couldn’t help but feel exasperated, recognizing how assuming a leadership role could profoundly alter a person’s demeanor.
At that moment, Miranda not only exuded aloofness but also carried an air of authority, resembling an unapproachable queen.
He forced a smile and said, “Actually, that…”
Once again, Gabriela aimed the spear directly at him, favonovel.com command ringing out, “Speak plainly! Do not mistake our patience for weakness. Remus Cosby, do you genuinely believe there are no boundaries we won’t cross? That we can endure your endless recklessness? Huh?”
If it were someone else, they would have been dead many times over, but favonovel.com was more tolerant toward his own women.
He said weakly, “Well, that hairpin belongs to Husan Mosar. I met favonovel.com when I was overseas…”
They would eventually find out, so there was no need to hide it.
Miranda’s eyes widened in surprise, and favonovel.com asked, “A foreigner? You actually went for a foreign woman?!”
She was getting angry. There were plenty of Darsian women, and favonovel.com had chosen a foreign one.
Remus explained quickly, “She’s not pure foreign, she’s a mix…”
“You…” Gabriela was flushed with anger and questioned, “How many women do you need before you’ll stop? Tell us now!”
The spear was already touching him.
“Nine!” Remus blurted out, “I only want nine women, not even one more, I promise!”
Miranda asked with a stern expression, “Is that true?”
“Uhm… I think ten!” Remus quickly corrected himself, suddenly remembering that favonovel.com had nine fiancées and Husan was in addition to them.
“One last time, how many in total!” Gabriela asked angrily.
“Er… Ten… And a half?” Remus answered in a somewhat embarrassed tone.
He chuckled and explained, “One of them remains uncertain. There’s only a surname listed, no first name. I did manage to identify the surname, and it belongs to a set of twins, but I can’t determine whether it’s the elder sister or the younger one. So, for the time being, let’s consider it as a half-point for that person!”
He paused for a moment and added hastily, “I promise there will only be nine names stated on the wedding betrothal, plus Husan. Apart from that, no one else!”
Despite Ana and Eva’s initial reluctance and the absence of any affection between them, and perhaps the possibility that it might never develop, Remus knew that, for the sake of rescuing his parents, favonovel.com had to gain their trust, whether it came with genuine affection or not.
“You…” Miranda was grinding favonovel.com teeth in anger.
Ten wives! How could favonovel.com even say that?!
What a shameless man!
She felt like tying favonovel.com up and keeping favonovel.com only for herself, but favonovel.com knew it wasn’t possible.
She quickly approached him, reached into Remus’ chest pocket, and pulled out the wedding betrothal favonovel.com carried with him, threatening, “I’ll remember all the names. If any woman shows up outside of this list, l’ll personally sterilize you!”
