That evening, Graces came to take the two of them home.
Smelian had a wide hood pulled over his head, obscuring his face.
Graces glanced over but didn't ask. As someone who had been through it himself, he knew Smelian was probably in the awkward transitional phase between his beast and human forms.
But this confirmed that Smelian's evolution was a success. Once this awkward period was over, he would officially be a Gene Fusion Expert.
So he offered a simple, "Congratulations."
Smelian paused as he was about to get in the car, seemingly surprised that Graces would make a point of saying that to him. He nodded. "Thank you."
When they returned home, the old butler had already prepared dinner, and the cake Lu Xia ordered ahead of time had also arrived.
There on the table sat a particularly beautiful, two-tiered strawberry cake, exuding a sweet, creamy fragrance.
