The Villainess Wants a Divorce:Beast Husbands Regret It to Tears-Chapter 147: I Regret It

He couldn’t help but slow down a step, his gaze lingering greedily on her peaceful sleeping face.

The leading male turned back several times, frowning and urging him, but he ignored it.

Seraphina Caldwell was completely unaware of his thoughts.

Her mind had already flown back to the scene at the city gate.

Her father definitely knew The Beast King.

This was beyond doubt.

They might not only know each other but could have been old acquaintances, close friends, or even...

Enemies.

This thought tightened her heart.

But The Beast King clearly knew she was Caden Cross’s kid, yet didn’t mention where her father was.

What does this imply?

It implies that her father is not in The Beast Realm.

If he were, The Beast King wouldn’t avoid mentioning him.

But at least it’s a clue.

If she can grab hold of it, she might find her father’s whereabouts. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Once The Beast King rescues Isaac Vaughn and the others, and deals with Silas Shaw.

She can take the opportunity to quietly inquire about her father’s location.

She mustn’t be too hasty or alert the enemy.

She absolutely can’t ask now.

If The Beast King realizes she has lost her father’s news, he might show leniency to Silas Shaw or even let it go.

Then all her efforts would go up in smoke.

The male leading the way finally stopped in front of a low stone house and pointed with his hand.

"We’re here. You’ll sleep here tonight. In the morning, I’ll come call you."

Having said that, he casually mentioned the location for fetching water.

There’s a stone well ten steps behind the house, with living water that’s drinkable.

Then he turned around and left without looking back.

Kaelan Hawthorne carried Seraphina Caldwell into the room.

He laid several thick Beast Skins on the dry grass and then began to tidy up the interior.

Seraphina Caldwell sat on the prepared dry grass, hands on her knees, watching him without blinking.

A big question mark popped up in her heart.

What is going on with Kaelan Hawthorne today?

Normally lazy, he’s now actively tidying the room?

This unusual behavior made Seraphina Caldwell frown.

When did he become so industrious?

Furthermore, he’s offered to fetch water and heat meat?

In the past, when she was weary and trembled with fatigue, he’d only nap in the corner without even lifting an eyelid.

Now acting completely contrary, he’s not at all like himself.

Kaelan Hawthorne finished tidying up, turned around, and softly said.

"You rest first, I’ll go fetch some water and heat the leftover meat."

Seraphina Caldwell nodded without making a sound.

Is this person really the Kaelan Hawthorne she knew?

But, since he’s willing to do it, why should she compete?

After all, she doesn’t lose anything.

Moreover, having him exert himself more could serve as compensation for his prior indifference.

She leaned against the wall, closed her eyes in a feigned rest, but stayed vigilant in her heart.

As soon as Kaelan Hawthorne walked out, Seraphina Caldwell immediately entered the space.

But she was startled as soon as she stepped in.

The scene before her widened her eyes instantly.

The previously calm and mirror-like Spiritual Spring Water had inexplicably surged by a significant margin.

The water level was nearly half a foot higher than the day before.

What shocked her more was that the garlic she casually planted in the corner was completely ripe.

She was bewildered.

Her mind went blank, with only one question echoing repeatedly.

What’s going on here?

She hadn’t kissed Kaelan Hawthorne!

She knew the conditions for space upgrading clearly.

It must be a sincere kiss or intimate contact carrying affection.

But she and Kaelan Hawthorne couldn’t even communicate, where would sincerity come from?

Wait...

She suddenly remembered actually passing air in the water.

That day she fell into the water, her consciousness blurred as Kaelan Hawthorne pulled her up, briefly transferring his breath underneath the water.

It was merely a life-saving instinct, not a kiss.

Just that slight contact activated the space?

This is completely irrational!

According to previous patterns, even kissing Isaac Vaughn or Wyatt Yardley would require emotional reach at a threshold point to trigger an upgrade.

But this time, there’s none.

This indicates...

The space acknowledged that contact?

And such acknowledgment signifies some emotional response?

Could it be...

Could it be while she was sleeping, Kaelan Hawthorne secretly kissed her?

Otherwise, why would Spiritual Spring surge?

These changes couldn’t occur out of nowhere.

The only explanation is that her blood resonated with someone’s emotions.

And that person, could only be Kaelan Hawthorne.

She instinctively raised her hand, gently touching her lips with her fingertips.

Upon careful touch, her lips indeed felt a bit swollen.

Thinking of this, a surge of nameless rage flared up within.

It’s not that she hasn’t kissed other Beast Husbands.

But every time, the space upgrade occurred naturally, she never felt violated.

Kaelan Hawthorne is different.

This person, cold and aloof, never valued her.

She once thought he had no feelings for her, maybe even some disgust.

But now?

Taking advantage of her being unconscious, with her awareness unclear, he secretly kissed her?

What did he take her for?

A prey easily manipulated and taken advantage of?

She clenched her fist.

With just a few more drops of blood, the contract could be broken, why must he do such a thing?

Their relationship had always been a temporary contract, mutually beneficial.

She didn’t want to owe him emotionally, and certainly didn’t want to be bound by him in this manner.

No matter how much Spiritual Spring Water or garlic exists in the space, she didn’t care to even glance at them.

The benefits that came felt tainted.

Did he think she was easy to manipulate?

Did he think she wouldn’t resist, wouldn’t pursue?

Her gaze turned cold little by little.

Kaelan Hawthorne, if you really think this...

Then don’t blame me for being unkind.

Seraphina Caldwell stormed to Kaelan Hawthorne, coldly questioning him.

"Did you kiss me on that day?"

Her words had barely fallen when Kaelan Hawthorne’s hand froze in mid-air.

How did she know?

The Charm Technique rendered the other party clueless upon awakening.

Logically, she shouldn’t remember.

When he kissed her, she was fast asleep.

Yet she knew clearly.

He hesitated for two seconds, the piece of meat at his fingertips finally dropping into the wooden bowl.

Suddenly, it seemed he figured something out, his shoulder relaxed.

Ultimately, he hadn’t planned to break the contract, hiding was pointless — might as well be straightforward.

He didn’t want to let her go, not at all.

Even if she hated him, even if she rejected him, he wanted to keep her by his side.

He gently placed the wooden bowl down and took a step closer.

"Yes, I kissed you."

He gazed directly into her eyes.

"Soft, fragrant, I want to kiss again."

"Smack!"

A slap hit him hard across the face.

Kaelan Hawthorne’s head snapped to the side, his whole body became rigid.

He didn’t expect her to strike him, nor the slap to be so forceful.

Seraphina Caldwell’s hand was still raised in mid-air, slightly trembling.

"Kaelan Hawthorne, I will release you."

"From the day you nodded, you should understand, you are no longer my Beast Husband, and I am no longer yours."

"Kissing me is akin to theft; you are unworthy."

Kaelan Hawthorne looked at her, his heart constricted urgently.

For the first time, he felt the female before him was so distant.

Kaelan Hawthorne instinctively reached out to grab her, as his fingertips barely touched her sleeve, she sharply flinched away, stepping back.

"Seraphina Caldwell, I’m not... I’m not trying to bully you... I just..."

The words paused at his lips, unsure how to explain.

Taking a deep breath, he finally forced the sentence out with effort.

"I’m foolish, I regret it. I don’t want to break the contract! I don’t want to let you go! I like you!"
