    Chapter 3779 Tricking Heptino


    Meanwhile, Gloria had zeroed in on Heptino. “Heptino, I noticed yesterday that your sleeves were


    getting tattered, so I made a new shirt for you. Try it on and see if it fits,” she said gently.


    Heptino was slightly taken aback as he nced at his shirt, only to realize that Gloria was right. Oh,


    my, there’s a hole in my right sleeve! I can’t believe I missed it!


    “Thank you, Ms. Gaston!” he said sincerely while epting the new ck robe. Gloria, however,


    frowned at him in mock annoyance. “Haven’t I told you several times not to address me so formally?”


    “Ah… T-Thank you, Gloria!” Heptino replied sheepishly, his words putting a smile back on Gloria’s face.


    “That’s more like it! Well, go ahead and try it on! Let me know if you like the pattern on it too. By the


    way, I don’t have the best sewing skills, so I hope you don’t mind the mediocre quality.”


    “W-Why would I mind?” Heptino said as he quickly put on the robe, showing off the majestic flying


    dragon pattern that soared from the back to the shoulders.


    On top of that, Gloria had also embroidered clouds around the dragon, thus making the design even


    more lifelike. “The flying dragon looks so good! I love it!” Heptino shouted gleefully.


    After tying the robe, he spun around on the spot, happy that it was such a good fit. Gloria instantly let


    out an audible sigh of relief as though she had been on tenterhooks the entire time. “I’m d you like it!


    I was so worried you might find the design tacky.”


    The truth, however, was that she had already asked around and knew all about Heptino’s love for


    dragons.


    “You’re an adult, for goodness’ sake. How are you still so bad at taking care of yourself? You didn’t


    even realize your clothes were torn! I guess it’s time to find you a wife,” Gloria teased.


    “I’m not interested in starting a family yet, Gloria!” Heptino replied, looking somewhat embarrassed.


    “Besides, if my clothes are torn again, I’ll just get you to make me new ones.”


    “Sure. I’ll be in charge of making your clothes from now on!” Gloria said with utmost sincerity. “It’s a


    deal, then!”


    Gloria couldn’t help but chuckle. “You little rascal, you’ll tire me out one of these days! All right, I shan’t


    bother you any longer. Don’t forget to drop by Cloud Chamber for dinner tomorrow. I’ll be cooking!”


    With that, she turned and left. Heptino’s gaze was both tender and full of gratitude as he watched


    Gloria’s retreating figure.


    His parents had passed away when he was just a child, and life with his adoptive parents had been a


    harrowing ordeal. It was only after he was taken in by Void Sect for his extraordinary talent that his life


    began to take a turn for the better.


    However, Heptino was also aware that most people had ulterior motives for getting close to him. All


    they truly wanted was the cultivation resources he could find.


    Having met many hypocrites and bootlickers in his life, Heptino realized that Gloria was the only one


    who had shown him so much care and concern.


    That, as it turned out, was the kind of family affection he yearned for the most. It made him feel warm


    and fuzzy, and he loved every second of it.


    Of course, Heptino had also once suspected Gloria of having ulterior motives, thus prompting him to


    test her with the dragon ley line. To his surprise, she had rejected him upfront and even ignored him for


    the longest time.


    Needless to say, Gloria had been furious. “I can’t believe you think I’m only nice to you because I want


    your cultivation resources. Am I that kind of person in your eyes? If that’s the case, I suggest we go our


    separate ways from here on out.”

    Heptino had spent the next few days trying to make amends, but unfortunately, Gloria had refused to


    give him the time of day.


    It wasn’t until he got Primo to help persuade Gloria that the issue was more or less settled. However,


    not even that was enough to stop thetter from giving him the cold shoulder for several days.


    After that encounter, Heptino finally dispelled all doubts he had about Gloria. In the end, it took him


    countless apologies and swearing never to test her out again to get her back to her old self.


    When Heptino received the dragon robe from Gloria, the feeling of being loved overwhelmed him once


    again, to the point where he almost teared up.


    “Gloria, I’ll protect you at all costs. I won’t let anyone bully you!” Heptino said to himself, a fierce


    determination in his eyes.q
