Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 271 Parents

Trenton said, "Scarlett, I Want to Meet Your Parents."

Scarlett pursed her lips and tried to pull her hand away, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't.

Trenton's grip was strong. "Be good."

Scarlett stopped struggling and turned to look at Trenton. "Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you?"

Trenton was momentarily at a loss for words, and his handsome face tensed as he looked at Scarlett.

Mildred glanced at the two of them, sensing the tension, and quickly tried to ease it. "Scarlett, look, it's almost dark outside. It could be dangerous outside. I almost got eaten by a strangling vine. It would be even more dangerous for you." Scarlett ignored Mildred, lowering her eyes to stare at the long hand gripping her wrist. She remained silent.

Suddenly, she heard Trenton's deep voice.

"Scarlett, I don't want you to be in danger. I promise to take you back in the morning. I want to meet your parents."

Scarlett looked up abruptly and stared at Trenton in shock. "What did you say? You want to meet my parents?"

Trenton sighed lightly and pulled Scarlett forward as he spoke softly, "Yes, meet your parents. It isn't a long-term solution to live in the jungle. You need to see the world outside."

Otherwise, Scarlett would get sick by eating raw meat and blood like a wild animal.

Moreover, although Scarlett seemed fierce, she was afraid to interact with humans. This fear of people wasn't a solution either.

She needed to return to normal social life as soon as possible.

Scarlett, holding Trenton's hand, followed him. Looking at his warm hand holding hers, she felt a ripple in her heart. She thought, 'My parents?

'I no longer have parents.

'But, aside from the tribe and the wolf leader, it seems he is the kindest to me.

'So, I'll stay one more night and feel the warmth unique to humans, and then I will return to the jungle forever and live the life of a beast.'

In the banquet hall.

The three heads of the Divine Doctor Association, along with Sylvester, Lela, Trenton, Scarlett, Mildred, and Flora, all sat around the table. Philip glanced at everyone and saw the table full of beautiful faces, feeling extremely pleased.

She said, "Today, we welcome Sarah back to the Divine Doctor Association's base. I'm sure we all are very happy. Everyone, let's have a nice dinner."

The large wooden table was filled with exquisite food, almost all of which were Lela's favorites.

Scarlett sat close to Trenton, looked at the three heads, and frowned slightly.

She found it strange that although these three people were so old, they still looked so young.

But her curiosity was quickly overshadowed by her love for food. Her round eyes moved from the three of them to the table full of delicious food, and she couldn't help but drool. It had been so long since she had seen such a feast.

Seeing this, Trenton smiled as he said, "Which one do you want? I'll get it for you."

Scarlett pointed to a meatball. "I want that one."

It looked so delicious.

Trenton took a few meatballs and placed them in her bowl with a hint of indulgence in his eyes. "Eat," he said.

Scarlett looked at the food in her bowl and reached out to grab it.

Trenton saw this out of the corner of his eye and was startled. He immediately stopped her. "Scarlett, you need to use utensils.

"In this setting, you can't eat with your hands."

Scarlett blinked, tilted her head to look at Trenton, and lowered her eyes, and her face reddened with embarrassment. "I don't know how to use them."

When she was little, it was her mother who fed her. After the Miller Witchcraft Tribe was wiped out, she followed the wolf leader and ate hunted animals. She had long forgotten how to use utensils.
