Ian stirred from sleep the next morning.
He was about to turn over when something blocked his face.
"Um…"
Ian blushed and looked up quickly from Marlena's arms.
No wonder he heard someone singing in his sleep yesterday. It turned out that Marlena had hugged him to sleep.
Now that Marlena wasn't awake, Ian didn't want to disturb her. He quietly climbed over her to the side of the bed and carefully got out.
After getting out of bed, Ian did not forget the horn from yesterday.
After sizing it up and realizing that the horn was right beside Marlena's hand, Ian gently picked it up.
It seemed that Marlena had found out that he had taken the horn.
This thing had a magical power. Sister Marlena wouldn't scold him when she woke up, right?
Ian thought so, but he quickly understood.
It didn't matter if Marlena was angry. He could just act cute.
Yes, Ian knew how to use his advantage.
Even an older sister would not be able to resist a child's cuteness.
For a period of time after that, Ian didn't make a fuss and just played by himself in his room.
Not long after, Marlena woke up.
Seeing Ian playing obediently at the side, she picked him up.
After kissing Ian, Marlena stroked Ian's head. "You're so obedient, Ian. You're neither noisy nor making a fuss.
Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat something delicious."
When Ian heard that there was delicious food, he immediately became happy.
He had already seen the food of the angel race. Although he had never seen any strange food, he had to admit that every one of them was very delicious.
Ian's mouth watered at the thought of those fragrant pastries.
Marlena saw how excited he was and stroked his head again.
"Be good and wait. The food will be ready soon."
"Okay!"
Ian waved his hand, unconsciously raising the horn in his hand.
Marlena naturally noticed this action, but she didn't say anything.
Ian quickly withdrew.
How could he tell Marlena about the horn?
Although he could avoid a calamity by acting cute, Sister Marlena was not bad. It was naturally best if he could not make her angry.
Soon, breakfast was ready.
After Ian finished his breakfast, he patted his belly happily.
Great, another satisfying meal!
Next, he was thinking about what to say about the horn when Marlena spoke first. "I'm sorry, Ian. I still have to send you back to Sister Karris today.
"I liked you too much yesterday, so I carried you back. But I have to deal with the angel race. I'll usually be very busy and not have time to take care of you."
Marlena was actually a little careful when she said this.
Ian was the Holy Son of the angel race, and he was a child.
It was easy for children to remember kindness, but it was also easy for them to bear grudges.
If Ian didn't like her because of this, she would be too embarrassed.
However, Ian was not a brat. He had a mature mind.
Knowing that Marlena was usually busy, Ian nodded obediently. "Alright, we'll go back to Sister Karris' place later.
But if you come and play with me often, I'll miss you sister~"
Ian smiled at Marlena, who was overjoyed.
"Oh, my little baby! I'll miss you too.
"It's a deal. I'll visit you when I have time."
Seeing that Marlena was in a good mood, Ian took the opportunity to raise the horn in front of her face.
"Sister… I…"
"It's okay. Take it if you like it. Take it as my gift to you!"
Marlena was very generous, which surprised Ian.
He had thought about it for a long time and felt that it was better to return the horn. He did not expect Marlena to give it to him so readily.
"Then, thank you, Sister!"
Ian returned the favor and quickly kissed Marlena on the cheek.
Marlena could not resist such an action at all. The smile on her face was very intoxicating.
She even wondered if she should keep Ian by her side.
Anyway, Ian usually wouldn't cause trouble.
But Marlena eventually gave up on the idea.
Ian was obedient, but she didn't have time to take care of him all the time. If anything happened, she would be letting Ian and the entire angel race down.
Therefore, although Marlena was reluctant, she still sent someone to call Karris over.
Karris was still seething when she arrived.
Sister Archangel snatched her child. Unforgivable!
Marlena couldn't help but smile at the sight of Karris.
Now that there was no one around, Marlena was still very approachable. She was more like a mature sister to her younger sister.
"Alright, alright, Sister Karris.
I won't steal your Ian. I called you here today to return him to you so that you can continue to take care of him."
Karris pursed her lips, but there was excitement in her eyes.
"Really?"
Marlena was exasperated. "Of course."
Karris was instantly overjoyed, but when she thought of yesterday's "revenge", she deliberately restrained her smile.
Marlena couldn't do anything about this pure-hearted sister of hers. She watched as she tried to pretend not to be happy.
The two of them chatted for a while more before Karris carried Ian out of Marlena's residence and returned to her house.
However, before she could take a few steps, Ian saw dozens of angels coming from afar!
"Ian, come to me!"
"Your Highness, there's something fun here. Do you want to take a look?"
"Eh? I haven't seen Ian for a day, and he's grown a lot. Looks like the Divine Blessing is working. Come and let me hug you."
How terrifying!
Seeing the beautiful sisters surrounding him, Ian was dumbfounded.
He did not know that ever since the Spirit Purification Ceremony ended yesterday, his status in the angel's heart had become unparalleled.
In addition, he was cute and sensible to begin with, which was even more icing on the cake.
Which angel could reject a cute little Holy Son?
Now, these angels surrounded Karris and looked at Ian like a wolf grandmother coaxing a child.
Ian hid in Karris's arms and shivered.
It seemed like being too popular was not a good thing.
Seeing her sisters surrounding her, Karris immediately took a step back warily.
"W-what are you doing? Are you trying to steal my Ian?"
The angels were unhappy.
Ruth took half a step forward. "Sister Karis, this is our common holy son. You can't take care of him alone. You have to let us do something."
An angel named Clarice also nodded. "That's right, Karis. You have to give us a chance."
Elise, on the other hand, was domineering. "Warrior Karris, I advise you to hand over Ian. It's our joint responsibility to take care of the Holy Son."
A dark line ran down Ian's face.
Unexpectedly, Sister Karris was actually a little lacking in self awareness.
But now was not the time to think about this!
As the angels spoke, they forced Karris back to Marlena's door.
Seeing that her sisters were about to snatch her baby, Karris gently put Ian behind her, then shielded Ian behind her like an old hen protecting a chick.
At this moment, Marlena was watching from the window. The scene in front of her made her not know whether to laugh or cry.
She knew that these sisters meant no harm.
But everyone was too crazy. In order to raise Ian, they almost wanted to eat Karris!
