Greg Jensen was confused. What was this all about?
But Lindsey Wolfe didn't care, and she pushed him down on the bed, reaching to take off her clothes.
Greg Jensen panicked. This was not okay. He struggled to his feet, about to voice his refusal, when he heard someone outside calling:
"Freya, have you found Greg?"
Lindsey Wolfe was startled and quickly stopped what she was doing. Seeing that Greg Jensen was still undressed, she hurried him, "Put your clothes on, quick."
After speaking, she straightened up her own clothes and rushed out, "Found him, found him! He ran off to play in the cave."
Outside stood an old man with white hair and beard, his face wrinkled but his back ramrod straight, his voice still full of vigor.
"How did Greg end up there? Such nonsense!"
He complained as he entered the house, "Why on earth is the door closed in broad daylight?"
Lindsey Wolfe said unnaturally, "Silly Greg is taking a bath."
The old man saw Greg Jensen and scolded, "Greg, how many times have I told you not to go into that cave? Why won't you listen?"
Greg Jensen didn't know what to say and could only give a silly chuckle.
This old man was named Jules Jensen, his grandfather's younger brother, ranked second, whom everyone called Uncle Two.
He was also one of the oldest among the village elders, and among the few who truly cared for him.
Uncle Two berated Greg Jensen, repeatedly admonishing and warning him never to go into the cave again.
Greg Jensen still wore a silly smile as he brushed it off. Yet, in his heart, he was thinking that he would have to go back there after some time, maybe he would find some treasure.
Gradually, more and more people arrived, all having heard that Greg Jensen hadn't returned home overnight and came to see how he was doing.
At first, the talk was all about Greg Jensen, but somehow it shifted to Lindsey Wolfe.
"Freya, now that you've come around, it's good. That way, nobody has a reason to take over Greg's family land anymore."
"Exactly, let's see how they dare to snatch it now when we old folks are still around!"
Lindsey Wolfe nodded, "Thanks to Uncle Two, Uncle Three, Uncle Five. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to carry on living here."
"What's there to thank for? Greg is a son of the Jensen Family, and you've looked after him so well, we should be thanking you!"
"Indeed! Poor Greg, his parents died just a few years ago, and then he got beaten to this state…"
The crowd sighed and lamented, which left Greg Jensen with a bitter taste in his mouth, but he felt more grateful than anything, and thought that he would have to repay them in the future.
Uncle Two knocked the dottle from his pipe on the sole of his shoe, stood up, and announced, "Well, it's settled then. If anyone dares to cause trouble, just come and get me."
After speaking, he led the rest away.
After they left, Lindsey Wolfe let out a sigh of relief. She had almost been discovered just now; it had been too close a call.
But with the matter settled, she couldn't help feeling an inexplicable joy.
"Silly Greg, did you hear that? Your Uncle Two agrees with us!"
As Lindsey Wolfe spoke, she chuckled, "I really didn't expect this, me, an older woman with a younger man…
Tsk tsk tsk, I'm only twenty-nine, not old yet."
As she talked, it seemed she remembered something and her eyes reddened, she murmured to herself:
"So what if it's with a fool?
I, Lindsey Wolfe, don't rely on any man, and I can make something of myself. I'll have to show those people!"
She lifted her head, "Silly Greg, from now on you have to listen to me, okay!"
Greg Jensen was hesitant just a second ago about whether or not to confess, but seeing his aunt's serious expression, he could only give a silly smile and nod his head.
The matter of becoming smarter could wait until later; telling her now would definitely make her feel deceived by him.
His aunt was a woman who had been hurt; at eighteen, she had defied her family's wishes to be with a man who still lived in a thatched cottage.
The couple endured hardships and struggled for seven or eight years before they were finally able to build a house and buy a car.
But unexpectedly, the moment her ex-husband came into some money, he changed, leading to frequent quarrels and fights between them.
Later, when his aunt gave birth to a daughter, her ex-husband became even more displeased, and his family started to pick on her and bully her.
Their conflicts deepened, and eventually, his aunt discovered her ex-husband had found another woman. That's when she gave up hope and divorced him, the child not even a month old.
Greg knew that his aunt's ex-husband owed much of his fortune to his aunt's efforts.
Yet, just as things started to look up, he abandoned his wife and child for another woman, which was simply inhumane.
When Lindsey Wolfe saw Greg nod, she smiled happily and hugged him tightly, saying:
"Don't worry, I will never abandon you, and you won't abandon me, right?"
Greg's nose tingled, and he nodded vigorously: "Aunt, you can rest assured, I will never abandon you!"
Lindsey Wolfe didn't notice anything odd about Greg; she was completely immersed in her own inner world.
After who knows how long, Lindsey Wolfe suddenly laughed, "Why am I even telling you all this? I should be focusing on having babies instead."
After saying that, she grabbed Greg by his clothes and pulled him inside.
Greg panicked and quickly said, "No... No, that can't happen! You're my aunt!"
Lindsey Wolfe chuckled: "Silly man, you were just saying you'd listen to me, and now you won't! I'm not your real aunt, what are you afraid of?"
Greg was dumbfounded. His aunt wasn't his real aunt?
What was going on?
Yet, he felt lighter, as if he'd shed some heavy burden.
No wonder the Jensen Family didn't oppose; it really didn't go against common human ethics.
To speak the truth, facing his aunt, a stunning and charming beauty, and often engaging in intimate contact with her— it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted.
However, he'd always thought his aunt was his mother's sister. How could he commit such a beastly act?
He had never expected that she wasn't actually his real aunt, which meant he could possibly...
When Greg reached that thought, he shivered; he was such a beast!
Even though she wasn't his real aunt, he still shouldn't...
But his aunt was too beautiful and tempting, and he needed to practice the "Yin Yang Harmony Sutra" which required finding an excellent "cauldron" to advance his cultivation.
His aunt perfectly met these conditions, and she was even willing to be with him. What was he still hesitating or conflicted about?
Suddenly, two figurines appeared in Greg's mind, engaging in a fierce mental struggle.
Unaware of his turmoil, Lindsey Wolfe went about her day, a continuous temptation to Greg.
But in reality, having him always around—often shirtless—was a temptation to her as well, wasn't it?
As the saying goes, "At thirty a man is like a wolf, at forty a tiger, and at fifty he can absorb the earth while sitting down."
Lindsey Wolfe was at an age where she was quite needy, and since becoming pregnant, she had not had intimate contact with a man. She could hardly contain herself any longer.
And there was Greg, always around her with his handsome face and fine physique; who wouldn't be moved? Who could resist?
Now that it was justified, and they could be together openly, Lindsey Wolfe cast aside all restraints. She pulled Greg into the inner room, unable to wait even a moment longer.
