If anything, he pressed closer to Qiong Xing as if refusing to be separated.
"Come on, apologize to everyone properly. Otherwise, they won't recognize you as my mate. Say goodbye here if you don't."
"No! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I won't do it again, I'm sorry!"
Crying and apologizing like that made Elias and Leander feel a little guilty as if they were bullying someone weaker.
Even Joa who saw Iseul apologize so desperately like that finally gave up and patted his head gently.
"Alright, alright. But don't cry so easily, man. And promise me this, don't put Qiong Xing in danger. That's the only thing you must keep."
"…Sniff… yes."
At that moment, they looked no different than a parent and child.
"Also, you need to apologize to Cari. Being Qiong Xing's mate means you're going to be like a father to him too. Though… judging by that look, I'm not sure you really seem like a father."
The sight of Iseul's red and swollen eyes from crying was clearly that of a child.
