Jealousy surged up inside Renz's heart as he witnessed Selene hugging Eros while crying in his arms.

He should be the one in Eros's place right now, comforting her. But he felt like Selene didn't want him there.

With a heavy heart, Renz turned around and silently left the room without disturbing the two. He went out to the veranda and sat down.

He wanted to understand Selene. He shouldn't be jealous but he couldn't help it. Renz looked up at the night sky. His mind was filled with random thoughts.

'I promised grandma Elysa that I would take care of Selene. But why do I feel like I already lost the right to do that when something happened between Micaela and me?'

Renz clenched his fists as he started blaming himself.

'What should I do to make it up for Selene? Should I tell her the truth? But I am afraid that she will hate me.'

Renz couldn't decide what to do. He planned to come clean after his marriage with Selene. But an unfortunate incident happened, losing Grandma Elysa.

Renz's mind was in shambles. He looked so troubled. He stayed outside the house to gather his emotions first.

Meanwhile, Selene had finally stopped crying. She felt better now after pouring her heart out with Eros.

She broke the hug and thanked Eros for comforting her.

"I'm so grateful because you are here with me, consoling me. Thank you, Eros."

Eros raised his hand, wiping Selene's tears.

"You don't have to thank me. I am your angel, remember?"

Selene smiled faintly before nodding her head. Indeed, Eros was her angel cupid and she was very glad about that.

Eros cupped her face and started lecturing her.

"Stop thinking about those negative things, okay? Life must go on. And remember… you are not alone, Selene. You have friends… and you have me."

Selene's heart skipped a beat after hearing his last sentence 'You have me'.

She bobbed her head and said, "Yes, you are right. I have you. Stick with me, Eros. Don't leave me. I need you."

Just like Selene, Eros's heart started pounding rapidly inside his chest. He was overjoyed to hear those words from Selene.

'She said she needed me. I'm so glad.' Eros smiled inwardly.

"Yes, of course. I will stick with you. Use me as you like, I don't mind."

Selene's cheeks heated up when she heard that. "Eros, ahem your last sentence makes me feel awkward."

Eros let out a husky laugh. "I mean it. You can use me as you want. I will be at your service, Ma'am!"

Selene also giggled because of his humor.

"There… you finally smile and giggle. I missed it so much," Eros softly said, caressing Selene's face.

Selene was taken aback, meeting Eros's intense gaze. She felt like he was melting her heart right now with his warmth and gentle words.

After staring at his face for a while, Selene noticed something.

"Eros, did you cry? Why are your eyes red?"

Eros was rendered speechless. He didn't expect that Selene would notice and ask him that.

"Hmm. Sort of." Eros shyly responded, scratching the back of his head.

"Why? Are you sad too?" Selene asked him expectantly.

"Yes. I am sad because you are sad. I cried because you cried," Eros told her truthfully.

Selene felt touched after knowing that. Eros made her feel special. She could feel his sincerity.

"Thank you, Eros. You took care of me these past few days. I don't know what I will do without you."

"Stop thanking me, Selene." Eros pinched her cheeks.

"I don't want to… I will always let you know how grateful I am to you."

"Really? I don't want to hear it… show it to me by your actions then," Eros said cheekily, winking at Selene.

He just wanted to lighten the mood by joking and teasing her.

Selene frowned seeing his playful smile. Was he up to something again?

"What do you mean by that?" Selene asked.

"Hmm, literal meaning. Don't tell but show it to me." He promptly said, giving her a challenging look.

"Show you what?"

"How grateful you are to me!"

"How?"

Eros rubbed his chin, pretending to be thinking about it. Then he looked at her, moving his gaze up and down from her face to her body.

Selene just watched him in puzzlement.

After a while, Selene squinted her eyes at him. "Hey, don't tell me you are thinking about lewd things again?! Don't you dare. I will punch you, Eros!"

Eros chuckled. He was glad to see Selene being in her usual self again.

"Hey, I'm an angel. I don't think lewd things! Don't accuse me unfairly!"

"Hmm, then why are you looking at me like that?"

"Silly woman… I am just assessing you. And I noticed that you became thinner. If you are really grateful to me, I want you to eat more and stay healthy. I don't want you to get sick."

Selene bit her lower lip. She felt embarrassed, thinking that Eros was up to something naughty again. It turned out she was mistaken.

"Alright… I will do that." Selene said, sighing deeply.

"You also need to get enough sleep. Your eye bags are so big. You look like a panda now," Eros added.

Selene bobbed her head. "Yes, boss. I will!"

Eros smiled triumphantly. At least Selene was not being stubborn. She was listening to him.

"Good girl," Eros softly said, stroking Selene's hair.

"Stay with me here tonight. I don't want to be alone. Sleep with me," Selene requested.

Eros was dumbfounded for a moment. Ever since Selene found out about his other identity, she stopped letting him sleep in her room. Unlike before, when he was still in his child-like form.

He had to admit that he missed sleeping with her in one bed while Selene was hugging him.

"Hmm, your wish is my command. I will stay here tonight and watch over you until you fall asleep," Eros cheerfully said.

"But you need to eat dinner first before going to bed, okay?"

"Yes, my angel!"
