Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld

Sylvester personally wiped away the oil stains from Lela's mouth with a tissue after she finished breakfast.

Richael, who noticed this in the living room, nudged Elvis with his elbow and said, "Did you see that? You have never done anything like this for me. Humph!" That was Richael's initial reaction.

Elvis' first reaction was that Sylvester was really good at pleasing a girl.

He had never imagined that Sylvester, who had been mysterious and short-tempered, would have such a tender and caring side.

He had even thought that Sylvester might remain lonely all his life and never fall in love with any woman.

But unexpectedly, Sylvester fell in love with Lela.

Elvis thought it was incredible.

Lela was truly amazing.

Richael, seeing that Elvis was unresponsive to her words, asked, "Why are you ignoring me?"

Elvis got nervous as if an alarm bell were ringing over his head. He quickly sought to please her, smiling and saying, "Yes, yes, it is my fault. I won't do that next time." Only then was Richael appeased. "I also want you to feed me."

"Okay."

"And hold me in your lap."

"Okay."

Elvis wiped the sweat from his forehead and responded to her requirements one by one.

Elvis thought, 'Her personality becomes strange after she got pregnant.

'And I can't argue and can only pamper her.

'I wonder if Sylvester's situation will be better when Lela becomes pregnant in the future.'

The members of the Stewart family kneeled on the ground, looked at the couple on the living room sofa, and then glanced at another couple on the dining room bench, deeply feeling that coming here was a wrong decision...

...

Sylvester led Lela to the living room. Lela didn't look at the members of the Stewart family but instead went to Richael's side. Only then did Richael notice the different color in Lela's eyes. "Lela, your eyes..."

Lela had already prepared her response. "Richael, these are colored contact lenses. Do they look nice?"

Richael nodded, her eyes filled with amazement. "Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I even want to buy a pair for myself."

Elvis was concerned. "Be careful, you're still pregnant. It may not be good for your health."

Richael nodded and then discovered something was amiss.

Both Richael and Elvis were stunned. "Lela, you... you can talk?"

Lela quickly made up a lie and nodded. "It was because I had a problem with my throat before and couldn't speak. But Sylvester found a doctor to treat me. Richael, you don't have to worry."

Hearing the lie that Lela effortlessly came up with, Sylvester, who was sitting on the couch nearby, grinned and looked at Lela with gentleness in his eyes.

He thought, 'Gee!

'Why do I feel she is adorable even when she is telling a lie?'

Richael held Lela's hand, her eyes teary. "Good girl, it must be not easy."

Elvis also looked at Lela with compassion. He suddenly took out a gift from his pocket, stuffing it into Lela's hand. "Lela, this is for you. Take it."

Lela initially didn't want to accept it. She glanced at Sylvester, who leaned in close to her ear. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said, "Honey, accept it. It is a token of recognition from the elders to the younger generation in modern society."

"Recognition from the elders to the younger generation?" muttered Lela under her breath.

Lela turned around and solemnly accepted it, holding it tightly like a treasure and putting it in her pocket.

"Thank you, Elvis."

Looking into Lela's serious eyes, Sylvester chuckled indulgently. Elvis and Richael exchanged glances and also smiled indulgently.

Since Elvis had given Lela a gift, Richael naturally wouldn't miss the chance to send out her gift.

From the delicate wrist, she took off the pink jade bracelet that had a delicate and translucent texture. She picked up Lela's fair hand and put it on for her. "Lela, this is a family heirloom that has been passed down from Richael's ancestors. Consider it a gift for our meeting today. Please don't refuse it."

Elvis was a bit surprised to see his wife giving away the valuable bracelet, but he understood and accepted it when he recalled how much help his elder brother and sister-in-law had given them before.

Seeing this scene, Sylvester fixed his eyes on Richael. After a while, he said, "Thank you, Richael."

For the first time, he said "thank you" because of Lela.

Richael's eyes were visibly moist with tears as she said, "Sylvester, I'm truly happy for you that you have found a girl you love."

Sylvester, who had grown up without his parents by his side, had a tough life, and Richael felt compassion for him. Since Lisa had passed away, she considered Sylvester and Charley her children and would naturally take care of their wedding as their elder.

Although Lela didn't fully understand the customs of modern society, she knew that there were still etiquettes between younger and older generations in the forest, just in a different form.

She stood up, knelt on one knee, crossed her arms over her chest, bowed a bit, and performed a gesture that she would only do when she was in the sacred tribe in the forest.

In her heart, she silently prayed for the blessings of the gods for Richael and Elvis.

It was an extremely important ritual.

It was the first time that Lela had made such a gesture in modern society.

She knew that Sylvester's parents were no longer alive, and Richael and Elvis had given Sylvester unconditional love.

Lela thanked them because they showed Sylvester the respect he deserved.

She thanked them for becoming a bond between her and Sylvester, acting as their elders.
