"Nolan!"
Nolan was startled when a woman suddenly jumped up and hugged him tightly.
Fortunately, he managed to pull Eira out of his embrace first, so the little dragon wouldn't be squashed between him and the woman.
When he saw who was hugging him, the corners of Nolan's mouth twitched slightly.
"Claire, can you not surprise me like that?" he asked helplessly.
"Hehehe…" Claire smiled proudly as she wriggled playfully. "Why? You were surprised, right? Then my surprise worked."
She rested her face against Nolan's chest, sniffing his intoxicating masculine scent.
"Yes, you did," Nolan said with a small chuckle. He hugged Claire for a few moments before finally letting her go.
However, the woman didn't seem to feel the same way.
She continued to cling to him, rubbing her face against Nolan's neck, as if she wasn't ready to let go of the intimacy.
"Hey! Let go of my master!" Eira's dissatisfied voice sounded from below.
