Chapter 696: You Have Me...

The Incubus System Chapter 686. You Have Me...

Desperately, I racked my brain for something, anything, that could cheer her up. Then, out of nowhere, an idea sparked. "Come on, Celia. Let's do something fun," I said, trying to sound upbeat. "We could hit the mall, grab you a new outfit, or maybe take a walk in the park. Just name it—whatever you want."

I saw a flicker of interest flash across her face, just for a second, before her expression fell again. I knew she was still upset, thanks to Mrs. Clea saying all that stuff right in front of her. I couldn't completely blame Mrs. Clea; maybe she thought Celia already knew everything.

Before she could respond, I grinned, throwing in a bit of mischief. "Oh, by the way, I ran into Tiffany earlier. She's down for a theme park day with us. Just say when," I reminded her, hoping to spark something in her.

To my relief, a small smile finally broke through, soft but genuine, like a little flower pushing up through cracks in the pavement. She looked at me, eyes shining just a bit brighter. "How about the day after tomorrow?" she asked, her voice tinged with excitement she was trying to hold back.

"Sounds good," I nodded, relieved to see her spirits lifting, even if just a little.

As if she could feel my mood, Foxy leaned closer, her eyes sparkling with excitement, her tails swaying back and forth like a fluffy metronome.

"Can I come too, Master?" she asked, her voice hopeful.

I looked at her and couldn't help but smile. "Of course, Foxy," I said, giving her a gentle pat on the head.

But then a chorus of disappointed voices rose around me, and I turned to see Buni and the rest of the gang looking up at me with hopeful eyes.

"What about us?" they chimed in, voices filled with curiosity and a hint of longing. "Can we come too?"

"Sorry, guys," I said, feeling a bit guilty. "I don't think the theme park is going to let me bring this many pets."

Immediately, Red let out a loud whine, and the others joined in, their voices blending into a little symphony of disappointment. But Foxy stepped forward, her eyes warm and reassuring, and she quickly calmed them down for me. She knew I wasn't in the best place emotionally and was always there to help me manage.

"But still... a part of me wishes we could go back to the way things used to be," she admitted, her voice soft and wistful. "But I guess that's just wishful thinking." She looked away, closing her eyes for a moment, like she was fighting back tears. "It was just... something I hoped for."

Without a second thought, I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her into a hug. I felt her tense up for a moment before she relaxed, melting into the embrace. I held her tightly, feeling her sorrow against me. Her hair brushed my face, tickling my nose, but I didn't care. I gently rubbed her head, hoping to give her a little comfort.

In that moment, I closed my eyes. All that mattered was this—me holding her, letting her know she wasn't alone.

I could feel her warmth seep into me, grounding me, and I hoped that somehow, I was doing the same for her. "It's okay, Celia. Everything's going to be okay," I whispered, my voice barely a breath against her ear.
