Marik's words carried a hint of impatience, mixed with a touch of childishness, like a boy who couldn't wait to taste the candy he had been eyeing for so long.
But Sisi didn't catch on. She was busy thinking about what to say to Jojo, since he seemed to have a deeper understanding in some areas while lacking in others.
Meanwhile, Jojo was horrified by the idea that Sisi would leave him and find her own mate. He clung to her tighter than before and yelled, "Then I won't leave! If Sisi wants to find her own mate, then she can stay with Daddy!"
Sisi and Marik held their breaths at the same time. Sisi fell into deep thought, as she never expected Jojo to suddenly "offer" his own father.
She knew the boy didn't understand the weight behind his words, but she couldn't help feeling stunned, sinking into contemplation.
Marik, on the other hand, snapped back immediately. "No way."
