The three of them returned to the temporary house after Official Xuxian had taken his leave.
The three of them all never brought up Cole's words again, neither did anyone ask Lea about the past that still hurt him.
Rather, they started to investigate another matter regarding Lea.
Gu Mengmeng, "If Ellie was sent to me by Sauder, wouldn't she have a motive other than tricking nine males from Saint Nazaire to mate with? Although she's a half-orc, but based on her good looks and mannerisms, the males that are willing to mate with her should be aplenty."
Lea replied, "I thought it was strange too. Not only the fact that Ellie wanted to join Sauder but also the Offering Ceremony just now. Cole actually did not try to separate you from Elvis and myself, neither did he create any opportunities to showcase himself. On the way back, he even said some things that may have made you uncomfortable… That was unlike him."
