She removed his hand from her shoulders and started at him with black lines on her forehead.
"What are you going to do after that then?"
"Are you going to do something to do something and risk your life and leave me"
Of course, she knew that he was just teasing in order to lighten the mood. Afterall, he and her both knew that if he were to touch her orally, especially in her lower part, he would be frozen for but she wasn't going to let him go away that easily.
"Of course not Laura, of course not"
"If not that then, there is only one other thing"
"You, you mister are trying to find mistresses outside huh"
"Humph, men are all the same"
Laura said in a sarcastic tone which made Rex realize that she was also joking, knowing that she had finally accepted his explanation.
"If something like this happens again, I want to know"
"As your future wife, I have the right to be there for you, to help you"
Rex smiled and didn't say it in words but pressed his mouth against hers. Not expecting the sudden action, Laura was caught off guard but she enjoyed the kiss for a while before quickly removing herself from him and wiping her mouth to make sure that it wasn't messy with saliva.
"Someone could see! Don't do it again"
Laura quickly looked around seeing if someone saw what they did but fortunately no one saw it.
Whether he would keep his promise would depend on the situation for him but telling her that would definitely anger her so Rex could only compromise saying he would.
"Okay, lunch is almost ready, you should already get to the dining room"
"Alrighty, I am starving"
"I could eat a horse at this point"
Seeing the leaving figure of Rex, she sighed as she thought of her inability to be a dutiful wife in the future. But what she didn't realize was that after Rex kissed her, frost didn't appear on his face but it skipped her notice due to her looking around.
'Clarissa, I will have to depend on you'
Laura sighed as she hoped that her best friend could output the firepower of Rex which she didn't know how much it was.

Opening the doors to the dining room, Rex saw no one present. The room was empty with only plates, cutlery and jug of water already in place. Soft light filtered through the curtains shining on the tableware and empty seats.
Hearing a small meek sound coming from the kitchen, his steps continued towards it knowing that Aunt Mei was still cooking. He pushed the door open slowly, silently and was greeted by the sight of Aunt Mei, standing on her tiptoes on a small stool, reaching for a jar which was on the highest shelf of a cabinet on the wall. Her small frame strained with effort as her fingers barely grazed the edge of the jar.
Rex paused, his gaze unintentionally lingering on her. The curve of her waist which was prominent with the way she stretched upward, and her skirt swaying with the effort. Rex sensed his lust present in his gaze as he stared at her and would sigh as he silently think in his heart.
'What are you thinking, Rex'
'She's your aunt'
Rex remembered to before when he was talking with Laura, though Laura didn't notice, he glanced at her bosom from time to time whilst they were having a conversation. Stopping himself from thinking of it again, Rex shook his head, snapping himself back to reality.
The changed constitution which was evolved from the one he obtained from the gacha only intensified his feelings. So does that mean that he had always felt these feelings towards his aunt? His aunt was naturally a beauty though smol, it didn't make her less beautiful. It had a charm of it's own. Combined with her mature and motherly aura, she was undoubtingly a beauty. Especially her juicy melons, a source of nutrition might arouse unseen imaginations from those who saw her.
But that wasn't the main thing, if it wasn't the result of the constitution since it only enhanced it, wouldn't it be the case that he was a pervert who lusts after his own aunt. Rex immediately darted away from that conclusion and focused back to reality. It seemed that Aunt Mei hadn't noticed him coming to the kitchen as the opening of the door when he came in, didn't make a noise.
"Focus" he whispered trying to stop his thoughts from continuing to be perverted.
He stepped further into the kitchen,
"Aunt Mei, do you need help"
Startled by his sudden voice, Aunt Mei lost her balance. Her foot slipped on the edge of the stool as she tried to stretch further for the jar. Letting out a surprised cry, she tumbled backward.
Rex's reflexes kicked in, and he darted forward, catching her mid-fall. His arms wrapped securely around her waist as she landed against his chest.
"Rex! You startled me" she said, one hand going to her chest as if to steady her rapidly beating heart.
Smelling her feminine smell, Rex had to stop himself from thinking more than he should.
'Get your head back in the gutter'
"Sorry Aunt Mei, I didn't mean to scare you"
"It's fine Rex"
She said with her back on Rex's chest.
"Where did that girl Laura ran off to"
"I thought I told her ages ago to get everyone to the table"
Not wanting Laura to be blamed because the problem also included himself, Rex offered assistance.
"Do you need help getting the jug, Aunt Mei"
"I would be glad to have some assistance"
Without waiting for further instruction, he tightened his hands which were present on her waist. Madeleine let out a small yelp, her face flushing as she felt herself being lifted off the ground.
"Wha....what are you doing?" she stammered, her voice rising slightly in pitch.
"Helping you get the jar" Rex replied, as if it was a matter of fact that this was the only outcome.
Aunt Mei instinctively clung to his hands as he hoisted her up with ease. She closed her eyes tightly for a moment, a bit scared and flustered to see what was happening.
"You're up now"
"You should be able to reach it"
Hesitantly, Madeleine opened one eye, then the other. Realizing she was indeed at the perfect height to grab the jar, she quickly snatched it off the shelf.
"Got it, now put me down"
"Hold on, Aunt Mei"
"Relax, I will put you down"
He lowered her gently back to the floor, and Aunt Mei quickly stepped away, her cheeks still pink. She placed the jar on the counter and turned to him, hands on her hips.
"You didn't have to lift me like that!" she said, though her tone carried more embarrassment than reprimand.
"Well, you asked for help, and it worked, didn't it?" Rex replied with a grin.
Aunt Mei sighed, shaking her head.
"You're impossible to reason with, you know that?"
