I Fed My Husband His Rabbit Mistress Chapter 2

I raised my other hand, a faint green light glowing at my fingertips.

High Elf healing magic brushed over the wound, wiping away the golden blood and leaving not a single scar.

"Tristan," I said calmly. "This familiar is too aggressive. She actually bit me. We should just get rid of her."

The white rabbit, which had been smugly twitching its nose, froze instantly.

"No!" Lily shrieked, instantly flying into a rage.

Tristan’s face drained of color. He scrambled forward, gripping my shoulders tightly, his eyes full of desperate affection.

"Aurelia, how could you say that? I searched for so long to find this lucky familiar for you! She's pure and flawless—she's the embodiment of my love for you!"

He took a deep breath, laying on the guilt trip. "Are you really going to break my heart over a tiny accident?"

I looked at the two of them.

My husband and my "daughter."

Right now, to save a rabbit that had just attacked me, one was throwing a tantrum, and the other was on the verge of tears. They cared millions of times more about this beast than they did about me.

A wave of sheer nausea washed over me, but I plastered a flawless smile onto my face.

"You're right." I gently patted Tristan's hand, pretending to be moved. "Since it's a gift from both of you, I promise I'll take excellent care of her."

Tristan visibly exhaled in relief.

Terrified that I might change my mind, he eagerly pushed for more. "Darling, familiars need their master's scent to feel calm. To help her get used to you faster, let's put her cage on your nightstand tonight."

Lily hugged my leg, whining. "Mommy, Sera is just scared. Don't make her leave, okay?"

Scared?

When she tore my throat open in my past life, she didn't seem scared at all.

I walked over to the cage and leaned in.

The white rabbit lay quietly, like a ball of white fluff. Seeing me approach, she raised her head high, twitching her nose with a very human-like smugness and mockery in her pitch-red eyes.

Then, she lunged to bite me again.

But this time, I didn't flinch.

I flipped my wrist, and with deadly precision, my fingers clamped down hard right below her head, grabbing her by the scruff.

Squeal!!!

The rabbit let out a piercing, agonizing squeal. She thrashed frantically, kicking her powerful hind legs wildly against my forearm in a desperate bid to break free.

"Waaah! Let Sera go! Let her go!" Lily burst into tears, terrified.

Tristan’s face morphed into absolute panic. He charged at me.

"Aurelia! Are you crazy?!" With bloodshot eyes, he rushed me like a feral beast, violently slapping my hand away.

I intentionally loosened my grip.

The rabbit dropped into Tristan's hands like a limp ragdoll, twitching violently.

Tristan was trembling with heartache.

He cradled the rabbit against his chest, his fingers gently stroking the red marks I had left on her neck. The panic and grief in his eyes were sickening.

"It's okay... I've got you, don't be scared," he murmured gently.

I stood aside, watching him fret over a rabbit, feeling nothing but utter disgust.

In my past life, I passed out in the hallway from severe blood loss caused by this very beast. What did my loving husband do?

He simply stepped over my body, his voice dripping with cold annoyance. "Stop faking, Aurelia. Elves have endless vitality. A little pet rabbit couldn't possibly hurt you."

Yet here he was, nearly in tears because I choked his precious bunny.

"Why would you hurt her?!" Tristan roared at me.

I immediately dropped my gaze, playing the innocent, wronged wife as tears welled up.

"I didn't mean to, Tristan," I whimpered, looking at him pitifully. "I was just doing what you said—trying to pet her and bond. How was I supposed to know she would try to bite me again? I panicked, and I just grabbed her..."

My soft words choked the rage right out of him. He knew he couldn't blow his cover now. He swallowed his fury, his jaw ticking, his face flushing a furious crimson from the effort.

But Lily wasn't having it.

She glared at me fiercely. "It must be Mommy's fault! Sera never bites me, and she never bites Daddy!"
