"Hello, Rosetta and Amelia, it's lovely to finally meet you both," I greeted warmly. Gesturing towards Bai Qingqing, I added, "This is my Sweet Pea, Bai. We're from the Human Clan, hailing from distant lands. Circumstances led us here."

Bai offered her own greeting, and Amelia couldn't help but express her admiration, saying, "Are all members of the Human Clan as beautiful as you two?"

Bai and I exchanged a glance, unsure how to respond without sounding conceited or dismissive.

After a moment of contemplation, I replied, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so everyone is beautiful in their own right."

Bai nodded in agreement, relieved to find a diplomatic way to address the compliment.

I held my hands out and I said, May I hug you beauties? Before I can get my words out, They rushed into my arms, "Oomph" Which made me giggle. I said, "How adorable you two are."

I heard a little sad noise and looked up and saw it was Gallant with his wolf ears down and him and Winfrey looked at their mates in envy. He made another noise like a pup eyeing for attention and Winfrey pushed him and it made him realize what he was doing. He then looked surprised and flushed. As he looked down.

Amelia had a simple yet loving look about her, with playful vibes emanating from her eyes. On the other hand, Rosetta was undeniably beautiful, and it was clear where Rosa inherited her looks from.

Unlike her daughter, Rosetta didn't seem as uptight, but rather desired attention and to be prioritized, likely a result of Winfrey spoiling his wife and daughter.

It was something I could handle, although I foresaw potential clashes between Rosetta and Qean due to their strong-willed nature.

The thought amused me, and I giggled at the idea of soothing two bratty grown-up girls. It also reminded me to check on my dear Qean, who was absent from the bonfire festivities.

Amelia, smiling warmly in my arms, exclaimed, "You smell so good!"
Rosetta, with a playful grin, added, "And you're so soft, no matter where I touch."

I felt deeply touched, and gushed, "Oh, thank you, ladies!" I then cuddled them tightly, feeling a surge of affection.

However, Memi swiftly interceded, removing Rosetta's arms. "Alright now, you don't get to squeeze her sides. Only I can," she declared firmly.

Memi then glanced at Ameila, who, with a defeated expression, threw her hands up and hid behind Gallant.

Rosetta exclaimed, "What?! Oh, watch me squeeze them before you every time!"

Memi rolled her eyes and retorted, "Girl, bye," as she wrapped her arms around me and drew me away from Rosetta, playfully rubbing it in.

Then she added, "Tell her, bestie, only I can squeeze your sides." I felt caught between the two.

With a sheepish grin, I gestured with my fingers under everyone's watchful gaze and said, "Sorry, Rosetta, sides are for Memi only."

Memi stuck out her tongue triumphantly, declaring, "Told ya!"

Rosetta threw a tantrum and turned towards Winfrey, whining, "Winnnieee, I want to be able to squeeze Imara's sides. It's not fair!" She stomped and hung all over him, clearly upset.

Winfrey, ever the softie, looked at me with a pleading expression and said, "Imara, is there really no room to share sides squeezing, not even a little bit?"

As a simp giver at heart, I glanced at Memi, hoping for support. Memi's stern gaze, made me feel like a deer cornered by a leopard, beads of invisible sweat forming on my brow. I quickly shook my head, hands together in a pleading gesture, and said, "Ahh, now, sorry, I can't." To Winfrey and Rosetta.
