Chapter 193
Enveloped in such warmth, Nyx felt incredibly safe. Instead of waking up, she slept even more soundly.
At dawn, Nyx opened her eyes, feeling dazed. She thought, ‘Am I still dreaming?‘
“Good morning, Nyx,” Theon murmured, pressing a light kiss to her forehead.
Nyx sat up abruptly, bumping into a furry body behind her. When she turned around, she saw a massive gray wolf.
“Good morning, Nyx.” Pale Wolf wagged his tail at her.
Overwhelmed by happiness, Nyx pinched her own face twice just to make sure she wasn’t dreaming.
She thought, ‘Luckily, I didn’t stay at the Cook residence last night. Just the thought sent a chill down my spine. If I had—if I’d been caught up in all of this–who knows how bad it would’ve been? A disaster, no doubt.
Theon pulled her into his arms, his voice filled with regret. “I’m sorry for making you wait so long.”
They had arrived by her side in the middle of the night. Seeing their beloved little female, both of them were too excited to sleep.
Seizing the moment, they had used the Intelligent Brain to search for information about this world, ensuring they wouldn’t behave too strangely outside and cause trouble for Nyx. Naturally, they also learned about the recent events she had gone through.
Even though that vile family had already suffered the consequences, the two males still burned with fury, feeling as if a fire was raging in their chests.
Their matron had been bullied, and they hadn’t been there to protect her. For a male, that was the greatest humiliation.
“It’s okay,” Nyx waved a hand, smiling. “I’m strong now. Just yesterday, I even beat up a group of bad guys.“,
She had meant to reassure them and show she wasn’t fragile, but they looked as if they had been struck by lightning.
They thought, ‘Because we weren’t there, Nyx has been forced to fight on her own!‘
Nyx watched in horror as Pale Wolf’s deep blue eyes filled with tears. Panicked, she quickly added, “I won. And I didn’t get hurt at all.”
Nyx rubbed Pale Wolf’s ears for a long time. Then, steeling herself, she reached out and touched his wolf tail.
“Don’t.” Erik instantly transformed back into his human form, but his tail remained.
Nyx hugged the fluffy tail tightly in her arms.
Just as she expected, Erik immediately forgot about his pain and guilt.
“Come here.” Nyx invited. She thought it was no problem this trick couldn’t solve. Besides, after all this time apart, she missed them terribly.
Absence made the heart grow fonder, and they had a perfect time in bed. After Nyx took a shower, a wave of exhaustion hit her, and she couldn’t resist closing her eyes for a nap.
By the time she woke up again, it was nearly noon.

Chapter 193
The scent of food drifted in from the kitchen. Not having to go grocery shopping, cook, or order takeout filled her with pure satisfaction and happiness.
Nyx jumped out of bed and dashed into
4 wrapping her arms around Theon from behind as he cooked.
To her surprise, Theon had even packed interstellar kitchenware in his Space Button–an over–the–top setup.
Theon had long heard her footsteps approaching. He wasn’t startled at all, his eyes full of laughter.
“Here, have a taste.” Theon fed her a piece of freshly cooked lemon pork. He had blown on it to cool it down so it wouldn’t burn her.
Nyx opened her mouth, savoring the sweet and tangy flavor as it filled her taste buds. Her eyes narrowed in delight.
Just as she was about to reach for another bite, the doorbell suddenly rang. All three of them turned toward the door in unison.
As soon as the door opened, the person outside, Archie, was so startled that he instinctively took several steps back, thinking he had the wrong place. He quickly checked the house number no mistake.
Then, upon seeing Nyx, he let out a sigh of relief. “Dear sister.”
Hearing that form of address, Nyx fell silent.
Archie had spent an entire night racking his brain for a way to address her–something that showed respect without sounding too casual or too formal.
Pleased with himself, he repeated. “Dear sister. Who are these two?”
The two men standing before him were clearly foreigners, with strikingly exotic features.
Archie prided himself on his height, but these two were even taller. Their muscular physiques were barely concealed by their clothes, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure. Under their intense gazes, he couldn’t help but break into a cold
sweat.
He thought, ‘What am I supposed to do? If these two were after Nyx with bad intentions, I wouldn’t stand a chance!
Nyx interrupted his wild thoughts, “This is my husband.”
“Huh?” Archie lifted his head, scanning both men but unable to tell which one she meant. “Which one is your husband?”
“I’m Nyx’s husband,” Theon said, perfectly comfortable with the title.
Not to be outdone, Erik also declared, “I’m Nyx’s husband too.”
Archie’s mind went completely blank. He had heard plenty of gossip from the elite circles–love triangles, fierce rivalries- but two male love rivals living together harmoniously with one woman was beyond his comprehension.
He said to Nyx, “Dear sister, you are unbelievable.”
He watched, dumbfounded, as these two powerful men doted on Nyx, completely devoted to her. A newfound respect arose within him.
He thought, ‘No wonder she has no interest in me. Compared to these two, my looks and physique are utterly subpar.’
Nyx’s expression turned subgle. She thought, ‘If Archie ever found out how many mates I truly have, he’d probably pass out from shock.‘
She was playing at a level far beyond his imagination.

Chapter 193
“Oh, right.” After his long moment of astonishment, Archie finally remembered why he had come. He pulled out a bucket from behind him. “I brought you some fish.”
The fish were still alive–his father had gone fishing early in the morning and, unable to resist bragging, insisted on giving one to Nyx.
Just in time for lunch, Archie stayed for a meal and casually chatted with his two brothers–in–law, or so he thought.
When he asked about Theon and Erik’s identities, Nyx tensed up gripping her fork tightly.
However, the two answered flawlessly, leaving no room for doub
Nyx listened in with her ears perked, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After seeing Archie off, she finally dared to ask, “Did you make up your identities? Won’t you get found out?”
“Don’t worry, we won’t,” Theon and Erik reassured her. “The Intelligent Brain has already registered our information into this world’s various databases. No loopholes can be found.”

The overwhelming technological gap made fabricating identities effortless. Even if officials conducted an investigation, they would find nothing but the fabricated life histories they had created.
Theon suggested, “Nyx, let’s buy a house.”
“Why? We’re not staying here for long.” Nyx was momentarily stunned, thinking it unnecessary.
Theon glanced around and frowned, “This place isn’t suitable for you to live in.”
He was highly dissatisfied with this house.
It wasn’t spacious enough, the layout was poor, and with neighbors both upstairs and downstairs, privacy was mediocre at
best.
Males never fussed over their own living conditions–even sleeping in the wilderness was fine. But a matron’s residence had to be the best within their means.
Nyx opened her mouth wide at such a suggestion. For her, this luxurious high–rise apartment already counted as a mansion.
“I actually think living here is pretty nice,” she said sincerely.
Theon and Erik looked at her serious expression and suddenly recalled the rundown old house from the records–the one that awful family lived in. Cramped, dilapidated, and housing a whole crowd, it had turned into a garbage heap after Nyx left, with no one left to clean or maintain it.
They thought, ‘She has lived in that environment for twenty years. No wonder she doesn’t mind this place.
Nyx was suddenly pulled into a tight embrace, hearing the rough suppressed sobs of Theon and Erik. She was caught off guard.
She patted Theon’s back, and then Erik’s, roughly guessing the reason for their sudden surge of emotion. Softly, she comforted them, “That’s all in the past now.”
Those hardships had nothing to do with them.
Surrounded by their love, Nyx compromised. “Fine, we’ll buy a house.”
“Let’s start picking one out.” She pulled the two males down to sit with her and discuss their options.
Ordinary apartments were out of the question–it had to be high quality, spacious, and private. Eventually, they settled on a

villa nestled between mountains and water.
Theon and Erik were action–driven and immediately went out to view the property in person.
Meanwhile, Nyx freshened up and headed to a nearby
arbecue restaurant for a gathering.
She had been missing for so long that her former colleagues, especially the ones she was closer to, were eager to see her again.
Even the boss came, bringing the orange tabby cat, Dollar.
The moment she stepped into the private dining room, the hefty orange tabby let out a meow and charged at Nyx like a little cannonball.
Nyx’s face lit up with a smile. She spread her arms wide, ready to take the impact.
But just before reaching her, Dollar suddenly skidded to an abrupt stop.
“What’s wrong?” Nyx crouched down and picked him up.
Dollar hesitated, sniffed at her, and then extended a paw to touch her belly. After that, he buried his head against her stomach and rubbed against it lightly.
His voice had never sounded this sweet before, leaving Nyx both surprised and flattered. Faintly, she felt a small movement in her belly.
