Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2127

Miller knew Wilbur was teasing him and flashed a smile. "Either way, I can't go back. Hagin disgusts me, and I'd rather be a free person here than remain a slave to him back there. How beautiful it is to bask in the sun, rain, and the wind as time passes. I think I'll get used to it eventually."

The old man sat down on the ice. "If you're willing to stay in Gelsa, I think we could be friends."

"Thank you. I have heard how complicated the human realm is, and that Gelsa's pretty much a no-man's land. The humans may have forgotten it long ago, but I think it makes a pretty nice place for us to stay."

The old man nodded. As someone who had been around for decades, he knew that Miller was trying to butter up to him. As it happened, the old man lacked company as well and thus reached out with a hand. "Welcome, Commander Miller. We're going to be friends now."

Miller shook the old man's hand. "Thanks. You can just call me Miller."

"Sure, Miller. But I don't think someone like you needs to be fishing like this, do you?"

Miller shrugged. "I was worried you might find it strange, I supposed. This is the human realm, after all. Besides…"

Wilbur piped up then. "Oh, was that you outside the house last night?"

"Yes, it was me. Your food smelled incredible, and it caught my attention."

Merfolk lived underwater. While there were flame-type cultivators, they only thought of using fire in battles and never thought of using it to cook. The merfolk realm might be civilized, but they were still a far cry from the human realm.

In the next three days, Miller helped the old man fish out some useful tools from the town of Gelsa at the bottom of the lake. They were all a great help to his life in Gelsa, but what the old man was most taken with was still the diamond ring.

The ring had Jenny's name engraved on it, and the old man's mind was flooded with memories as he looked at it. After all, he had brought the ring when he had loved Jenny deeply. He had thought that he just had to give the ring to Jenny, and the two of them would be able to wed and spend the rest of their lives happily together.

The old man had never thought Jenny would have a change of heart. He stared at the ring in silence, before wiping his tears and saying, "At the end of the day, the world cannot change because of one person. I was too selfish back then."
