Chapter 114 Hope

The dog barked, wagging its tail again.

"See? He said sorry!" the girl announced proudly, looking up at Gray with a big smile.

Gray sighed heavily, running a hand through his hair as he muttered, "This dog is definitely my rival."

The little girl giggled, waving her hand. "Okay, mister! Don't fight with Tigger! He just wanted to say hi! Bye-bye, pretty lady and grumpy mister!"

With that, she marched off, dragging Tigger behind her, the dog still wagging its tail.

Lilith burst out laughing, her shoulders shaking as she leaned slightly toward Gray. "Grumpy mister, huh?" she teased, her smirk widening.

Gray groaned, shaking his head. "She's lucky she's cute," he muttered, watching the girl and her dog disappear down the path.
