The Villainess Wants a Divorce:Beast Husbands Regret It to Tears-Chapter 120: I Like You

"We’ve been eating pinecones for hundreds of years in the Rabbit Race, chewing them whole or drying them for storage. No one has ever thought of grinding them into powder and cooking them in soup... How did you come up with such an odd way of eating?"

The moment these words were spoken, there was a sudden silence by the fire pit.

The surrounding tribesmen all paused their actions.

Kaelan Hawthorne knew well that mentioning Seraphina Caldwell’s name at this moment was indeed inappropriate.

He was aware of Seraphina Caldwell’s unique skills.

In this survival-of-the-fittest world, such skills were far too eye-catching.

Once they spread, it was inevitable that jealousy would follow.

Seraphina Caldwell felt her heart tighten and instinctively wanted to change the subject.

But before she could speak, Kaelan Hawthorne had already opened his mouth.

"It wasn’t a guess of ours; it was Seraphina."

"She knows a lot, not only grinding pinecones into powder but also which wild fruits can be stewed with meat. The stew not only isn’t bitter but can remove the gaminess and enhance the flavor. She can even handle seemingly toxic roots and make them safe to eat."

Anyway, the contract will eventually be broken, and even if these matters spread, they have nothing to do with him.

Besides, it was Seraphina herself who voluntarily invited Jasper Quinn to dine and taught him the methods hand-in-hand.

Now attracting attention and stirring troubles were her own choices, and she couldn’t blame others.

Isaac Vaughn, sitting nearby, suddenly looked a bit darker.

If Jasper Quinn hadn’t been sitting there, he would’ve sprung up and stepped over to question Kaelan Hawthorne.

"Why are you pushing her out like this?"

Everyone understood that in this world, a female who can accurately identify ingredients is an exceptionally rare existence.

Such a female can not only enhance the survival rate of the group but also gain the tribe’s attention and protection.

Now, these seemingly casual words from Kaelan Hawthorne have lightly pushed Seraphina to the center of controversy.

"Seraphina is a female?"

Jasper Quinn’s eyes suddenly lit up.

He quickly turned his head, his gaze fixed firmly on Seraphina Caldwell.

"Oh my, Seraphina, you are amazing! You know so many ways with food! We Rabbit Race have never even heard of these methods, and yet you can figure them out one by one? How did you come up with these?"

Seraphina Caldwell’s heart almost jumped out of her throat.

She hastily spoke.

"It’s not like that... I’m not that clever."

She quickly waved her hand.

"It was just during travel in the past, I was so hungry and couldn’t bear it while having no choice among wild fruits, so I scraped things together to eat. At that time, there were no pots or stoves, so I had to use stones to grind the fruits and mix them with water for cooking. It was just by chance that the taste was still acceptable, all thanks to luck."

"Actually, most of the credit goes to Kaelan Hawthorne. I just casually said a few words and gave some advice, really not that capable."

After speaking, she quietly lifted her eyes and quickly glanced at Kaelan Hawthorne.

But Kaelan, as if he hadn’t heard, kept his head down.

Seraphina wasn’t trying to break away from them?

So why shouldn’t he take the opportunity to give her a good reputation?

Let her be viewed higher by other males in the tribe, wouldn’t that align with her intentions?

Jasper Quinn, however, didn’t believe her words.

His gaze lingered on her face for a moment and then quietly shifted to the men by her side.

Each of these males was not someone ordinary people could easily control, yet Seraphina could make these men willingly follow her.

His eyes were full of admiration.

"Even if it was just a casual mention, it shows you’re meticulous. Being by your side is truly a blessing."

His ears reddened furiously.

Finally, he quickly lifted his head.

"Seraphina... I like you. Can I be your Beast Husband? I will pick the sweetest wild fruits, and plant pinecones, ensuring you have plenty to eat every day!"

"What?"

Seraphina was stunned, her hand shook, and the wooden bowl almost slipped from her fingers.

She never dreamed that Jasper Quinn would confess in such a moment, and still in front of her husbands!

Coming to her senses, she hurriedly waved her hand.

"Jasper, you are really a good person... but right now, I... don’t want to add any more Beast Husbands."

Jasper wasn’t disappointed; instead, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Then one day when you want to find a few more husbands, would I still have a chance? I’ll wait for you! No matter how long!"

Seraphina opened her mouth.

She didn’t know how to explain to make him understand.

Just then, Wyatt Yardley gently tugged her arm.

"No need to wait. She won’t look for anyone else; there are enough Beast Husbands."

After saying that, he turned to look at Seraphina.

"It’s time to go; if we don’t, we won’t reach the next camp today."

Seraphina nodded.

She smiled at Jasper Quinn.

"Thank you for your hospitality, and for the wild fruits and pinecones, we’ll take them. We’re really leaving."

The few Beast Husbands had already packed everything up neatly.

Gideon Larkin quickly scooped up Seraphina, while the others swiftly shouldered the beast skins.

They feared that if they hesitated for even a second, Jasper Quinn would say something that would make their scalps tingle.

Jasper Quinn escorted them all the way to the entrance of the tribe.

Gideon Larkin had just put Seraphina down from his back.

Jasper Quinn suddenly rushed forward, lifted his hand to cup her cheeks, and quickly kissed her cheek.

After the kiss, Jasper’s face flushed red like an explosion.

He hurriedly retreated a step, turned, and ran away without looking back.

"You dare!"

Gideon Larkin’s pupils constricted suddenly.

He clenched his fists, pushed off the ground with his foot, and chased after him.

Seraphina immediately reached out and grabbed his wrist.

"Don’t go!"

"It was just a kiss on the cheek, no missing limbs or anything; it’s not worth fighting."

That light touch, in her eyes, really was nothing.

After all, she had kissed Wyatt Yardley, Isaac Vaughn, and Gideon Larkin before.

Moreover, once she completely breaks the contract with them, there will be no ties between them.

By then, to her, they would just be strangers.

Since that’s the case, Jasper Quinn’s feather-light kiss wouldn’t be any different from a random outsider approaching.

Gideon Larkin bit his teeth, still wanting to argue.

But before he could speak, Wyatt Yardley had already stepped forward and blocked him by reaching out.

Wyatt Yardley lowered his gaze to Seraphina’s side face.

She was looking in the direction of where Jasper Quinn had disappeared, her expression calm.

When Jasper Quinn kissed her earlier, she didn’t dodge.

In her heart...

Were they, the "Beast Husbands," really no different from a newly met Jasper Quinn?

Wyatt Yardley lowered his head, and his right hand clenched the bag sewn with beast skin tightly.

Isaac Vaughn silently followed behind Gideon Larkin, his gaze unwaveringly fixed on Seraphina’s hand.

That hand had just tightly held Gideon Larkin’s wrist, and now it had already climbed to Isaac Vaughn’s nape.

She could leave anytime, and she could break the contract anytime.

If he hadn’t stopped her time and again, she would’ve already turned and sought out another Beast Husband willing to accompany her.

He used to naively believe that she allowed him to hold her because, in her heart, he was somehow different.

In the deep nights, she leaned against his chest, softly murmuring in her dreams.

"You are so good."

He tucked those words into his heart, treating them as evidence of her fondness.

But now he finally understood that perhaps it wasn’t fondness at all; it was just habit.

She’s gentle to everyone.

Gentle with Jasper Quinn, gentle with other Beast Husbands too.

No special treatment, no partiality.

Isaac Vaughn slowly lowered his head, his pale purple eyes downcast.
