Ever since it became known that Heps was close to Nyx, many classmates had tried to curry favor with him, but he ignored 

them. 

Naturally, those who failed to win his attention were displeased, though they dared not show it due to his background. 

But after news of Chubby spread, the class dynamics shifted. 

“Heps, I heard you visited Lord Nyx. So? She must really dote on her cubs, right?” 

“Of course, her biological children are different. You can’t compare them to stray kittens and puppies.” 

“Her cubs must really hate you for competing with them for their mother’s affection, huh?” 

“Does Lord Nyx still like you?” 

“Tsk. Such obvious dark circles. Couldn’t sleep from heartbreak?” 

Children’s malice was often direct and undisguised. Their words stabbed straight at Heps‘ heart. 

Surrounded by them, Heps recalled his last visit to Nyx. His expression turned odd. 

Chubby, on the other hand, didn’t dislike Heps at all. If anything, Chubby was too enthusiastic about his beast form, nearly suffocating him in a cuddle. 

Thankfully, Nyx rescued him. 

When he came to his senses, he felt like Nyx had secretly been rubbing his fur. Then, his master had dragged him to the study for an afternoon of make–up lessons. 

“Lord Nyx isn’t like what you’re imagining,” Heps snapped back to reality and argued, “Chubby is really nice too. You guys better not badmouth him.” 

“Who badmouthed him?” The classmates quickly denied it, unwilling to be accused of such a thing. “We were talking about you–so thick–skinned, not knowing your place. If you haven’t lost favor, then why couldn’t you sleep?” 

Heps pressed his lips together tightly. He couldn’t sleep because Chubby had shared his happiness with him, and he had been too excited to rest. 

But since Nyx hadn’t publicly announced it, only close people knew. He had to keep it a secret for her. 

Seeing him stay silent, his classmates looked smug. “Huh? Finally dropping the act?” 

Outside the classroom, Nyx happened to witness the scene and frowned. She thought, ‘Heps is being bullied again?‘ 

The school officials accompanying her broke out in cold sweat. “S–Sorry! We’ll definitely strengthen moral education and put an end to this kind of behavior.” 

The moment the voices from outside reached the class, the entire room fell silent. 

Then, when they saw Nyx and Theon standing there, everyone’s jaws dropped. 

“Lord Nyx.” Heps turned into a blur as he ran over as fast as he could. 

Theon failed to keep Chubby in check, so Chubby excitedly launched himself out of Theon’s arms, latching onto Heps with pinpoint accuracy. “Fluffy brother!”

Chapter 216 

Both mother and son had the exact same enthusiasm for anything fluffy 

Nyx cleared her throat awkwardly, “Chubby wanted to come play with you? 

Last night, Chubby had learned he was going to have two fluffy little brothers. He had rotted wound in exement base was disappointed that they wouldn’t be born right away. So he wanted to play with another fly friend incred 

Since it was lunch break, they had come to deliver a meal to Heps 

Unexpectedly, they happened to witness Heps being bullied. 

Chubby was extremely protective, 

Having spent so much time with Jaws, Chubby had begun to pick up Jewt urong presence. When be ya seron, he exuded a terrifying sense of intimidation. 

The students couldn’t help but shiver, completely forgetting that he was just a hatchling that had only recently broken out of 

his shell. 

“S–Sorry.” Their arrogance completely vanished as they lowered their heads and apologized 

Chubby glared at them fiercely, resisting the urge to bite, and then turned his head toward the school administrators. 

“Rest assured, we will handle this matter seriously. The school administrator unconsciously used an honorific 

Nyx witnessed the whole scene and looked at Chubby in surprise. 

She never knew Chubby was so impressive that he even knew exactly who to turn to in order to resolve the issue. 

It seemed she no longer needed to worry about Chubby being bullied at school. 

However, Chubby was never the type to be bullied in the first place–if anything, she should be more worried about whether he would end up bullying others, like forcing his little friends to turn into fluffy forms just so he could play with them. 

Watching Chubby cling affectionately to the ferret, Nyx sighed helplessly. She thought, “This preference is probably something he inherited from me.’ 

Since hatching, Chubby had been growing at an astonishing rate. 

He was only palm–sized when he first broke out of his shell, but in just a few more days, he might be bigger than the ferret Even now, they were already nearly the same size. 

The ferret tumbled together with Chubby, only to be overwhelmed by Chubby’s tidal wave of enthusiasm. 

The ferret was too embarrassed to say anything and planned to silently endure it. After all, Chubby only wanted to stick to him because he liked him. 

However, Nyx quickly noticed Heps‘ discomfort. “Chubby, don’t cling too tightly to your brother. He might feel uncomfortable.” 

Upon being reminded, Chubby immediately loosened his grip. He had simply been too excited and had forgotten to control himself–it wasn’t intentional. As an apology, he gave the ferret a big drumstick from his lunch. 

The students who had spoken harshly to Heps exchanged nervous glances and swallowed hard. Even with their own biological siblings, they didn’t share such a harmonious relationship. 

Even when called in by the teacher for a talk, they still couldn’t understand why Nyx continued to protect Heps so much, even after having a biological child, or why Chubby liked Heps too.
