Chapter 375 Love Confession
"You aren't even resisting me at all, so why should I let go of you?" Yuan made a wicked grin and taunted her.
Hearing this, Leah's face flushed with embarrassment, and she couldn't bring herself to push Yuan away.
"You look so cute!" Yuan said with a broad grin on his face, making Leah blush even more, and she buried her face in his chest, mortified.
Yuan chuckled, wrapping his arms around her slender waist and gently pulling her closer till her body was pushing against his, as were her soft breasts.
'So warm and comfortable, I feel like I'm in the safest place in the world. Is this how it feels to hug the man you love? This feels great and satisfying...' Leah smiled warmly as she felt the warmth of Yuan's arms, and she felt safe.
'Finally, Dear has made his move on Leah; I am quite thrilled for her.' Lily smiled gently as she saw Yuan embrace Leah.
Not only did Lily feel delighted for Leah, but so did Rose, Emma, Julie, Ava, and Xi Meili, as Yuan finally accepted her affection for him.
However, most of them are unaware that Yuan was enchanted by Leah long before they arrived in the capital city; only Anna Grace and Emma are aware of this, as is Xi Meili, who has a special link with Yuan that goes beyond that of a typical husband and wife.
Yuan then released the hug and looked her in the eyes, a loving smile spreading across his face as he stared into her ember-like eyes.
"Your eyes are gorgeous, Leah. You have a stunning pair of eyes." Yuan remarked, gently stroking his finger across her lovely, sensitive lips.
"Is it only my eyes that look beautiful to you?" She returned his gaze and asked, blushing.
"Not just your eyes, your entire body is beautiful."
They stared at one another in silence for a time, then subconsciously pulled their faces closer together, their lips only an inch apart from touching.
"…Kiss me…" Leah muttered softly, closing her eyes in anticipation, waiting for him to kiss her on her tender lips.
"As you wish my lady…" Yuan smiled as he murmured, then pressed his lips against hers and kissed her soft lips.
Their lips met in a decent kiss, igniting a flame of passion that engulfed them both. Yuan's arms wrapped around Leah, pulling her close as if he never wanted to let her go.
Leah responded eagerly, her arms encircling his neck as they melted into each other's embrace.
As the soft glow of the moonlight entered the hallway through the open window, Yuan gently cupped her face after breaking the short kiss, his eyes filled with overwhelming affection.
"Leah…" He whispered, his voice containing his emotion for her, "I love you, Leah."
'This is what I've been hoping to hear for such a long time now…Today, my wait has finally ended.' Leah's heart swelled with warmth as she traced the contours of Yuan's cheek, her fingertips tingling with the intensity of her feelings.
"Yuan," She murmured, her voice barely audible above the rustling of the gentle breeze, "I've never felt this way before. You mean everything to me, Yuan."
Amidst the tender caresses and whispered declarations of love, time seems to stand still for them. Each moment was a testament to the depth of their connection, a bond forged in the fires of desire of affection.
The two of them locked their lips into a passionate kiss once again, showing their love for each other.
As they finally parted, breathless and exhilarated, Yuan pressed his forehead against Leah's, his gaze filled with adoration.
"I love you for eternity, Leah," Yuan said, his voice resolute and unwavering.
'This feels like a dream, but it's not!' Leah smiled, her eyes shining with tears of joy.
"And I'll love you always," She promised, sealing their love with another lingering kiss.
'How romantic! I'm a tad jealous of Leah for taking the spotlight. Anyway, she seems really joyful.' Anna Grace smiled as she witnessed Leah being accepted by her sweetheart; she was overjoyed that her son had finally accepted her.
She then approached Leah with a friendly smile and rested her right hand on her shoulder. "Congratulations, Leah, on finally becoming a member of our family," she said with an ecstatic expression on her face, as she was overjoyed that Leah had finally joined her family.
"Thank you, Miss Anna Grace. I'm truly honored to be a member of your family." Leah said with an embarrassed expression on her face; she was blushing and couldn't disguise it.
'Now that Leah has become my darling's woman, only Mireya remains...I wonder when she will acknowledge her feelings and become my darling's wife. Anna Grace pondered, a sly smile spread across her face, and no one knew what she was thinking.
However, she quickly returns to Leah with an odd expression on her face, displeasure obviously visible in her eyes.
"Mother-in-law!" she said with a harsh expression.
"Huh?" Leah was baffled by this.
"Call me Mother-in-law from now on, since you're now my darling's wife, you have to call me your mother-in-law, do you understand?"
"Ah…yes, I understand, Miss Anna— I mean mother-in-law." Leah nodded with an embarrassed smile on her face, but in her heart, she was overjoyed that Yuan's mother embraced her despite her being born into a commoner's family.
Yuan's previous wives expressed their joy for Leah and warmly welcomed her into the family. Which made Leah's heart fill with joy, as she had finally found a new family after losing her parents to the goblins.
A few seconds later, Leah bid Yuan goodnight and accompanied Lily to her room.
Yuan also led his mother, Emma, Rose, and Xi Meili into his room, closing the door behind him before taking off his clothing and resting down on the big bed.
His mother and wives did the same, lying on the bed with him completely naked, their bare bodies pressing against him, and he could feel their soft skin against his.
However, Yuan did not do anything intense other than exchange a few passionate kisses with his mother and wives before falling asleep.
Meanwhile, someplace far away from the Windfall Kingdom, a strange mystery person dressed all in black was meditating, his face hidden behind his enormous hood.
"How is it possible that Trevor and four other individuals have been killed?!"
"How is this possible?!" The man opened his eyes abruptly, causing the air to quiver owing to the person's aura.
"The place I've sent him to is a backwater kingdom far in the north, there shouldn't be any advanced master-rank mage..."
"Except for the Magic Academy, of course. However, I doubt that Headmaster Ashcroft would interfere in this case; after all, he lacks the courage to do so."
"Trevor is a key member of the organization, and his death in a remote location is a serious concern. And we cannot let this situation go; I must immediately assign a team to investigate." The man softly closed his eyes and continued his meditation.
A few minutes later, he called someone, and a person entered the dark chamber and respectfully bowed to the man. "Lord Black, you called me?"
The man meditating was none other than Mr. Black, the dreaded leader of the Golden Skull organization.
"Indeed." Mr. Black opened his eyes and looked at the kneeling guy, saying, "Trevor and his four buddies died in the remote kingdom, The Windfall Kingdom."
"What!?" The man lurched backward, appearing stunned by the news.
"But that's absurd; Trevor is a master-level magician and a key member of the organization! How could anyone defeat him and his friends in such a remote location?!" He couldn't believe it; after all, Trevor was a tough opponent with the ability to cast tremendous flame magic.
"I've fought Trevor before, and I know very well just how powerful he is, he isn't someone who can be defeated by someone from such a remote area."
"Indeed. He cannot be defeated by random people; something must have happened to them that led to their demise." Mr. Black nodded and responded.
"Lord Black, now what do you want me to do about this matter?" The man inquired, his eyes filled with fury.
"Take a team and head to the Windfall Kingdom to investigate this matter as soon as possible," the man added. "We can't let go of this after all Trevor is a core member of our organization."
'Whoever you are that killed Trevor, be prepared because I am coming for your life!' The man grumbled quietly, gritting his teeth in annoyance.
"Understood!"
After a short bow, the man departed the room, allowing Mr. Black to meditate in peace.

At the same time, the entire population of the capital city was now aware of the mysterious fight that had broken out, as well as the criminals who had died in it.
The news spread like wildfire across the city's Noble Realm, and every nobleman was now fascinated about the strange killer who had caused such devastation and slain the continent's four most wanted criminals.
Many of them desired to employ the mysterious killer as their bodyguard since it would significantly improve their overall strength if they were successful in negotiating with him.
Meanwhile, a guard runs into the royal palace and quickly walks towards the royal family.
When he arrived at the palace's common area, the guard pulled open the big door and ran inside.
"Who dares?! Do you have no manners?" King Richard yelled at the guard who entered the common room unexpectedly.
However, the guard ignored his rage and swiftly responded, "Please excuse my unexpected arrival, Your Majesty! This is an emergency! A major brawl broke out in the common realm, horribly killing five people!"
"We have identified four of them, and they are all wanted criminals with a large bounty on their heads. However…"
"However?" King Richard lifted his eyebrows.
"However, one was burned to nothingness and was unable to identify if he was a citizen or a criminal."
