Jisoo's nervousness was now completely gone as she chatted with her AI nephews. The forgotten Jiyong felt like an abandoned puppy—ahem ahem—abandoned "boyfriend" and sulked beside her while glaring at the two AI cats who didn't mind him at all.
Unable to take it anymore, he interrupted the cheerful conversation between the three. "Go home. I still have some important things to talk about with your aunt."
"Aaaaw, Uncle! The cute and mighty Louis wants to talk to Auntie more! Can Louis stay here longer? Pretty please? Meow~"
"Uncle, feeling jealous of your own nephews is not classy."
Jiyong's already ugly expression turned even uglier. But before he could explode, he heard his woman's soft, amused laughter which felt like it was tickling something inside his chest. His annoyance decreased a lot. He didn't notice this at the moment, though.
"Louis, Luka, don't tease your Uncle too much," Jisoo said. "We can chat another time."
"Meow, really? Can the cute and mighty Louis visit Auntie and talk to you again? Meow~"
Jisoo smiled. "Of course, Louis. You too, Luka. You can come and visit me anytime."
Luka didn't reply but his tail swished indicating his true feelings.
"It's getting late," Jisoo said. "Your mom and dad must be worried about you."
"It's okay, Auntie! Louis is still present at home because I'm cute and mighty! But my little kitty brother Luka has curfew because he's super-duper to the highest level naughty and always gets grounded by our daddy. Meow!"
The black cat AI pounced on his older Brother but the white cat AI dodged while giggling.
"Enough," Jiyong said, his tone stern. "Go home now. Don't bother me and your aunt tonight."
Louis continued whining and blinked his pitiful green eyes at Jisoo, not at Jiyong. The white cat AI was using his cuteness overload technique that he would usually use on his mom to get what he wanted from his aunt this time.
Jiyong knew all about the tricks of his sister's cat children. He already lost count how many times he watched his sister give in to her cat children whenever they started acting cute to her. It was a good thing that his brother-in-law was a strict disciplinarian or else these naughty little brats would become even more uncontrollable with how much his sister kept on spoiling them. Seeing how Louis and Luka had already won over Jisoo, he knew that his woman must have the same weakness for cute cats like his sister.
He covered Jisoo's eyes with a hand to prevent her from being affected by Louis' below-the-belt cuteness attack. He continued glaring at his AI nephews.
Louis blinked his teary, green eyes at his cold-hearted uncle. "The cute and mighty Louis is so sad! Uncle is such a big meanie but Louis is a good kitty baby so I'll listen to Uncle. Let's go home now, Luka. It's almost time for your curfew anyway. Meow."
Luka still looked bored but his tail which stopped swishing indicated his disappointment at having to go home this early. "Auntie, if Uncle hurts your feelings and makes you cry again, please tell Luka. I'll help you ask Father to demand compensation from Uncle for emotional distress. Don't worry, Aunt. Father is an expert in helping Luka negotiate this kind of compensation. He always succeeds in helping Luka."
Jisoo removed Jiyong's hand over her eyes and laughed again at what her AI nephew told her. However, she still replied in a serious tone, "Okay, Luka. I will. Thank you."
Before the two cat AI siblings could leave, Jiyong said, "Luka, I'm revoking your access to my armoury. You're not allowed to take any weapon from it anymore without my permission. You hear me?"
The black cat AI shrank his head to his fluffy body, looking pitiful. "Understood, Uncle. Father already offered to pay full compensation for the katana but Uncle rejected his offer. Luka thought that everything is now resolved about the matter. Holding a grudge for this long is not classy, Uncle."
"You little—"
"Luka bids goodbye to Uncle and Aunt." The black cat AI disappeared.
"Bye bye, Uncle and Auntie! See ya later, alligator! Meowhoosh!" The white AI also disappeared like a ninja.
Jiyong's nostrils were still flaring but he was inwardly relieved when the two naughty AI cats finally left. He snapped out of it when he felt his woman hugging him. He glanced down and saw her smiling at him. His expression improved and he found himself smiling as well.
"I can't believe that I have such amazing
nephews from Little Sister Ruby and Brother-in-law. I initially thought that Louis and Luka are extremely shy cats who dislike showing themselves to other people, that's why I've never seen them in person before at Dragon Palace. But now that I've met them and even talked to them, I'm glad that I now have the privilege to know about their existences. Thank you, Nikolai.""Why thank me?"
"For showing me a part of the real you and letting me into your world. If not for you doing this, Little Sister and Brother-in-law might never have allowed Louis and Luka to reveal themselves to me. I'm so happy, Nikolai. It feels like I've entered a completely different world of many wonders."
He touched her chin and rubbed her lips. "You're happy? Not scared?"
She thought about it for a moment before admitting, "I'm both happy and scared at the same time. There's so much to take in so I'll just not think about it too much, at least for now. I just want to follow my heart. And my heart is telling me that...I can trust you."
He sighed but his tone was gentle when he told her, "Jisoo, a monster like me doesn't deserve your trust."
She pouted. "That's what you believe! I'll only believe what my heart is telling me."
A devilish chuckle escaped from his lips as his eyes darkened. "If you keep on treating me like this, I might tie you up to me and never let you go."
She beamed at him. "That's exactly what I want."
