Meanwhile, Silas seemed unusually pleased with everything.
With more responsibilities delegated, Ivy had more time, and he clung to her with an almost obsessive closeness.
'I just want to stay with her… nothing else matters,' he thought, his gaze lingering on her longer than necessary.
Ivy, clearly aware of his intentions, shot him a sharp glare one day, her eyes narrowing.
"Don't forget," she said coldly, "we still have those superior beings to deal with."
Silas sighed dramatically, though a faint grin tugged at his lips.
"You're no fun," he muttered, before adding in a softer tone, "especially after you accidentally called me daddy the other day."
The moment those words left his mouth, Ivy's face turned pale, her expression stiffening.
A silence followed before she spoke again.
"If that's the case," she said slowly, "then I'll call you that again tonight."
Silas's eyes lit up instantly, his earlier laziness vanishing as excitement surged through him.
