The Villainess Redeems Herself, The Beast Husbands are in a Daily Love Battle-Chapter 31: Wanting to See You

His voice sounded somewhat helpless.

Ethan Sinclair sniffled slightly, his voice tinged with a slight nasal tone, his emotions clearly a bit aggrieved.

"No."

He answered briefly.

Hayden Langdon observed his reaction and naturally sensed that the other party was unwilling to continue this topic.

So he didn’t press further.

After all, they were all used to it.

Especially Ethan Sinclair, with his strong self-esteem and stubborn pride.

Even if he was upset, he never wanted to say more than a word.

At this moment, Selene Kane had already squatted down in front of Zane.

Because of the fighting and running earlier, her makeup had smudged.

She casually picked up a handkerchief beside her and wiped her face a few times.

Revealing her naturally clear and clean features.

She didn’t realize her appearance was quite different from usual, and she continued to smile at the person before her.

Zane looked at her, his gaze filled with complexity.

His slightly pale cheeks quickly blushed faintly.

"My name is Zane."

Selene nodded in response.

"My name is Selene Kane, and this is my home. You can stay here for now. I promise to keep everyone in line so they won’t trouble you."

Previously, when Caleb Shaw was around, he managed the entire household.

Everyone followed his arrangements, and as long as he gave an order, everything, big or small, would be handled meticulously.

Now that he’s gone, Hayden Langdon has taken over managing the household affairs.

But Hayden, with his gentle nature, always speaking softly, didn’t seem like someone who could manage the scene effectively.

Especially with Evan Sinclair and Ethan Sinclair, the troublesome brothers in the house.

Each more stubborn than the other, impulsive in their actions.

Is it possible for them to listen to Hayden Langdon?

If she becomes careless, and Zane encounters any mishap,

Then all her efforts today would be in vain, wouldn’t they?

Hayden Langdon stood quietly outside the door, his gaze slightly downcast, his fingertips trembling slightly.

His eyes lingered on Zane, feelings mixed within.

He realized that Selene Kane indeed felt differently about this unfamiliar male.

Her tone, her expression, were things he had never seen before.

He took a gentle breath, trying to calm his emotions.

Then he stepped forward and spoke in a low voice.

"Female Master, welcome back."

Selene Kane was the first to jump off the airship.

She wasn’t guarded towards Hayden Langdon.

This person was just too gentle.

Guarding her every day, even his eyes seemed full of grievance when looking at her.

How could he possibly have any bad intentions?

She walked over, patting the dust off her body, pouting with a frown, "Today was so exhausting. I’m filthy. I’ll go change and rest. Zane, you help him settle in, alright?"

There was a hint of weariness in her voice.

As soon as the words left her mouth, she dashed away.

Leaving Hayden Langdon standing there, stunned.

He paused for a moment, staring in the direction she left.

That tone...

Surprisingly sounded quite familiar.

For a moment, he was dazed, and a foolish idea arose in his heart.

Was she acting coquettishly towards him just now?

He couldn’t help but press a hand lightly against his chest.

This feeling was too unfamiliar.

He couldn’t quite distinguish whether he was surprised or happy.

"Ahem."

He cleared his throat softly, trying to regain clarity.

Then he turned and walked over to Zane’s direction.

Zane resumed his cool tone.

His gaze landed on Hayden Langdon.

Especially in that instant when Hayden Langdon was fixated on Selene Kane, a strong sense of displeasure surged in him.

He felt extremely irritated, as if someone was peering at and coveting something he cherished.

That feeling of being threatened agitated him internally.

Hayden Langdon looked at this mermaid, feeling a vague discomfort.

He couldn’t understand where this emotion came from, only that he had no goodwill towards the mermaid before him.

The beastman’s inherent instincts were roaring softly.

Informing him that this mermaid posed a serious threat to his current status.

He pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly, a bitter smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

He thought self-deprecatingly, he really had nothing more to lose now.

"Hello, I’m Hayden Langdon, you’re the Female Master’s friend, and thus, my guest."

He hesitated slightly.

"I will be responsible for everything during your stay at the villa."

After he finished the statement, his gaze towards Zane held a hint of restraint.

Zane glanced at him coldly.

That glance almost made Hayden Langdon furrow his brow involuntarily.

"How can this person be so impolite."

Hayden Langdon secretly clenched his teeth, suppressing the surge of irritation.

Selene Kane was in the room taking a shower for quite some time.

She grumbled quietly as she washed.

It took her a long while to barely get rid of that smell.

But the lingering scent remained ingrained in her mind.

She felt extremely uncomfortable, almost tempted to tear the bathroom apart.

Since getting pregnant, she had become particularly sensitive to various smells.

And that disgusting scent was constantly haunting her, driving her nearly insane.

Because of this, she dashed downstairs and cut down the roses blooming in the villa.

Then made them into perfumes to gift to Lady Wynn.

"Rather than being tormented by this smell daily, it’s better to give it away and earn a favor."

She murmured to herself while working.

Suddenly, a spasming pain struck her abdomen.

She hurried to the sink, bending over and retching.

"System, you aren’t faulty, are you?"

She covered her mouth, trying hard to suppress the nausea.

The system didn’t respond, instead issuing a series of cold alerts.

"Under attack by a life form, alarm initiated."

Selene Kane leaned against the sink, wiping her mouth with a towel.

She felt on the verge of exhaustion from retching, nearly devoid of the strength to stand.

"Aren’t you the system responsible for ensuring a smooth pregnancy? How could you miss such a severe pregnancy reaction?"

She gritted her teeth, complaining to the system in her mind.

She wasn’t opposed to becoming a mother.

She just really hated pregnancy symptoms.

She could already foresee how difficult her upcoming days would be.

If every pregnancy was this excruciating, she might just jump off the building.

"Host, this child requires the father’s spiritual power," the system reminded cautiously, with a hint of caution in its voice, "If you haven’t bonded with the child’s father, the child will instinctively reject the life connection within you, which is detrimental to both you and the child."

Selene Kane didn’t respond.

Instead, she entered the bathroom and turned on the faucet.

She splashed a handful of water onto her face forcefully.

The water droplets slid down, wetting her cheeks and collar.

She walked out of the bathroom and immediately saw Zane lying on the bed.

His back slightly arched.

Selene Kane subconsciously lightened her footsteps.

Zane, with his keen hearing, lifted his head at the faint sound of footsteps.

"He told me not to bother you... but I still wanted to see you."
