"I apologize for my father's actions, Wyatt. Please do not take his words personally," Jill apologized to Wyatt repeatedly on their way to the city despite him telling her he had already forgotten about it. 

"Jill, I understand where your father is coming from. You have nothing to apologize for. Besides I am over it," Considering his casual one-night stand with Jill, Wyatt did not see a point in holding a grudge against Demigod Norley. He was a bit unreasonable but did what any respectable father would do. 

"Okay, if you say so," Jill said dejectedly because she did not want Wyatt to forget some of the good remarks and points her father made about their relationship. Especially, about them tying the knot. 

"Oh, by the way, this little cutie here is called Little Beam. She is Corey's pet," feeling the awkwardness in the air Wyatt used Little Beam, who rested on his shoulder, to change the topic. 

"Corey, have I met her?" Jill asked when in her mind she grabbed Wyatt by his collar and screamed, 'Don't tell me she is another one of your one-night stand-turned friends. How many girls are there, tell me right now?'

"Hiss," Little Beam hissed at Jill threateningly feeling her jealousy toward Corey. Seeing the snake react violently, Jill said, "It seems she does not like me."

Wyatt looked at Little Beam intently because usually she would only be bothered to respond to someone if they mattered to Corey. After all, she viewed everyone weaker than her as food. If not for Corey warning her not to harm humans and to behave, she would have emptied the city by now. So he was taken aback by little Beam's reaction toward Jill. Then thinking of something he said, "Corey is my employee, I will introduce you to her later."

"Oh, she is your employee. I see," Jill blamed herself for jumping to conclusions. Noticing Jill's feeling of envy toward Corey vanish, little Beam returned to slumbering on Wyatt's shoulder. 

Seeing the reaction of Jill and Little Beam, Wyatt shook his head and reminded Jill, "You said you would not fall for me."

Jill was taken aback by Wyatt's words and looked at him in surprise. In the Southern Royal Palace, she tried to convey her feelings to him but he would not even acknowledge them. So she was surprised to see him speak about it. Calming her racing heart, she said, "I said that, didn't I? 

"I was a fool back then. Is it too late to take it back now?" Jill locked eyes with Wyatt and asked in anticipation. 

"Before, I answer you. Let me apologize for all the times I acted like I did not understand when you were trying to convey your feelings for me. It was wrong of me," Wyatt gave Jill his heartfelt apology. Seeing how even Demigod Norley had to come to find him, Wyatt could only imagine that Jill must have been devastated beyond consolable after what transpired in the Southern Capital. 

"Wy—" Jill wanted to say Wyatt did not need to apologize but was interrupted by Wyatt who was not done apologizing to her, "I should have informed you about my well-being after I returned from the Yellow Plains world. Sorry, I got caught up trying to figure out who attacked my friends while I was busy fighting the devil in the Southern Capital—" 

"Someone attacked your friends? Ann did not tell me this when she bragged about you calling her to inform her about your well-being," Jill exclaimed hearing that Wyatt's friends were attacked interrupting Wyatt mid-way through his apology to her. 

"What do you mean? I do not remember doing that but I did call her to ask why my friends were attacked when the Southern Royal family promised to protect them and to ask her to help find the culprit," Wyatt explained, as according to his recollection he never called Ann to report his well-being to her. He was so wound up in the Handsome Fox incident that it slipped his mind that he should call everyone he knows to inform them of his well-being. 

Jill's mood suddenly improved by a great margin learning that Wyatt never called Ann to report his well-being. Only she knew how relieved she was with Wyatt unknowingly helping her debunk Ann's lie. 

'So it wasn't just her, Wyatt did not call anyone to report about his well-being. Ann, that lying bitch. And to think I thought we were friends,' Midway through her thought Jill suddenly remembered that even though Wyatt did not call Ann, he did go to find his friends. As far as she knew, Wyatt did not have many friends. So, she could not help but wonder if she should be worried about Corey.

"..." Little Beam slowly opened her eyes to look at Jill, then sensing Jill's fickle heart she slowly closed her eyes wondering if she should kill Jill and be done with it. 

"As I was saying—-" Wyatt wanted to continue his apology where he left but Jill did not let him. She suddenly grabbed his head and leaned in sticking her tongue into his mouth. 

Wyatt tried to push Jill away but she would not budge, instead her grip got stronger and her tongue got more active in exploring every corner of his mouth. As for Little Beam, she seemed to be not bothered by any of this and continued to sleep on Wyatt's shoulder like a rock. 

After a minute, Jill separated from Wyatt gasping for breath. While Wyatt looked at her in daze and disbelief. He did not expect her to kiss him when he was trying to cut her off his back for good, "What was that for?" 

"Wyatt. I do not care about our friendship. My father is right, a boy and a girl cannot be friends. And you know what, he is right about another thing, that nothing is set in stone. So I will always keep trying to make you mine."
