Chapter 577 Lyall’s Version Of Love [Part 2]
Chloe looked at Lyall’s eyes fearlessly as the latter looked at her coldly.
Right now, Lily’s sister was a hunting wolf, ready to pounce on the deer in front of her at any given moment.
Chloe was tempted to answer her and say that even if the latter ate her heart, she would still not gain Ethan’s love. On the contrary, Ethan’s discomfort would turn to hate.
But for some reason, she believed that Lyall would be fine with that as well. If Ethan hated Lyall, at least he would always think of her. As long as Ethan thought of her, she would be happy.
But if that happened, only sadness awaited the two of them.
One wanted to kill.
The other wanted to be killed.
Frankly, Chloe didn’t hate Lyall. In her eyes, she was just someone who didn’t understand how to get the attention of the person she liked.
Right now, Lily’s sister was even willing to do something extreme to make sure that Ethan would only think of her, and no one else.
“Lyall, do you want me to teach you how to get Ethan to like you?” Chloe asked, which took the older lady by surprise.
“Huh?” Lyall, who didn’t expect that Chloe would make this kind of proposal, looked at her in confusion. “Teach me how to get him to like me?”
Chloe nodded. “Right.”
“Heh~ are you just saying this so that I will spare your life?” Lyall sneered.
“No.” Chloe shook her head. “I’m serious. Do you really want to appeal to him? I don’t want to brag, but even after he spent a year on the Lands of Alastor with Lily, I’m sure that I know more about him than your sister does.
“I know what he likes and what he doesn’t like. In fact, I believe that with just your looks alone, Ethan would be hard pressed not to like you. Honestly, the only problem is your character.”
“Are you saying I’m crazy?” Lyall asked. “My brothers and sisters often say that to me.”
“I don’t think you’re that crazy,” Chloe answered. “You’re just… spoiled.”
“Spoiled? Me?”
“Yes. I can tell that you’re someone who’s used to getting what you want. And since Ethan refused to become yours, you are starting to feel annoyed. If I’m not mistaken, this is probably your first time struggling to get what you like.”
Again, Lyall wanted to refute her words, but she found herself unable to do so.
She did get everything she wanted.
When she wanted something, she would get it.
If she couldn’t get it, her brother, Conall, would get it for her.
If her brother couldn’t do it, her Mother and Father would.
When they were in Southshire, Lyall had asked her Father to make Ethan become her Mate.
But Seff firmly refused because he was already Lily’s partner.
Of course, having more than one partner was fine. Seff himself had five wives.
When Lily had asked the same condition from Ethan, she was using her father as a reference.
Lyall didn’t plan to fight Lily for the position of being the first wife. She was fine being second, third, fourth, or even fifth.
But after better understanding her feelings, she knew that what she wanted from Ethan was something physical.
In fact, after thinking about it, she was fine with having a one night stand, on the condition that she would get pregnant afterward.
However, Ethan wasn’t the type of person who did one night stands.
He truly cared about relationships and would take responsibility for his actions.
Ethan also understood what Lyall wanted from him, which was why he was hiding from her.
Also, the main reason why Ethan wasn’t too keen about letting Lyall have her way was due to the fact that he didn’t want any of his children to end up the way he did.
He grew up as an Orphan, so he knew more than anyone how much it hurt growing up without having parents around, especially at times when they were needed the most.Although he had an adoptive father, the latter only came home once a month and would only stay for a day or two.
It was not enough for Ethan to understand what having a parent was like.
Fortunately, Grandma Agnes and Grandfather Benjamin raised him with love and care.
Despite lacking parental love, Ethan still grew up happy in a warm and loving family.
This was also why he didn’t want any one night stands.
While he wasn’t a hopeless romantic, he had firm beliefs about love, and one of them was taking responsibility for the people he loved.
The two ladies stared at each other for a few more minutes before Lyall’s nails shortened.
“I cannot change who I am,” Lyall stated. “If I suddenly act cute, I’ll feel that it will no longer be me.”
“Who said you need to act cute?” Chloe looked at the lady in front of her weirdly.
“I don’t need to act cute?”
“No.”
“Then does that mean that I can just pin him down and jam it into me?” Read Web Novels Online Free – NovelFire Novel Fire – novelfire.net
“Of course not.”
Chloe couldn’t help but facepalm because she felt like they had just returned to step one again.
“Come,” Chloe said as she took Lyall’s hand. “Let’s talk about a strategy for how to make Ethan like you.”
The younger girl took Lyall to one of her favorite spots in the Great Eagle Forest to teach her a few things about how to have a good relationship with Ethan.
Meanwhile, as the two girls walked away, a White Gorilla and a Unicorn peeked out from one of the big trees in the forest.
They were supposed to meet with Chloe in order to talk about something.
But seeing that she was with a scary girl, the two decided to remain hiding.
“That girl likes Ethan?” Koko muttered. “Somehow, I feel sorry for that boy.”
“They match each other perfectly,” the Unicorn, who didn’t like Ethan, commented.
“You really think so?” Koko asked.
“Yes,” the Unicorn replied. “I mean, there is a famous Human saying, right? What doesn’t kill you will kill you at a later time.”
Koko scratched his head because he didn’t know any famous Human sayings. If the Unicorn said it was so, then it must be right.
“But what do we do now?” Koko asked. “We need to talk to her about the Lia Fail.”
“Let her keep the Stone of Destiny for a while,” the Unicorn stated. “Didn’t we all agree that it is safer for it to be in her hands since she will be protected in the academy? Also, the stone is starting to show signs of awakening.”
Koko became silent upon hearing the Unicorn’s words.
“The Fomorians wished to have it because they are going to look for their rightful King,” Koko’s face became very solemn as he said these words. “It’s scary to think about that race being united under one individual.
“When their king died, many of them tried to take his place. However, none were recognized as their true liege. Perhaps they had all come to an agreement that the one whom the Stone of Destiny chooses will be their one and true King.
“If that were to happen, a new dark era will arrive,” the Unicorn sighed. “Maybe we should consider finding a new home? The Great Eagle Forest will be decimated once the Fomorians attack en masse.”
Koko knew that the Unicorn was telling the truth.
If that day were to truly arrive, then he and the rest of the denizens of the Great Eagle Forest would be on the front lines of the battlefield, fighting for a future that not many of them would be able to see after the battle came to an end.
