Chapter 723:
Breathing heavily, Amilia paused to catch her breath, but Aus appeared unaffected, glancing back occasionally as he ran.
Yelena stifled a laugh at the sight. “Aus,” she called out.
At the sound of her voice, Aus stopped and turned to look at her.
Amilia, seizing the moment, rushed over. But just as she was about to grab him, Aus sprinted toward Yelena, leaping into her arms.
Upon noticing Lena in Yelena’s arms, Aus’ behavior shifted. He let out a plaintive cry, a mix of anger and sadness.
Yelena must have adopted another cat, and Aus seemed to feel abandoned. Yelena chuckled softly and said, “What’s the matter? Jealous of your own sister p>
Aus ignored her teasing, clearly thinking that if Yelena was holding Lena, she should be holding him too, or he would stay upset.
Amilia, finally catching up, glanced at Yelena. “I don’t think Yelena wants you, Aus. But I do. Come here,” she said, reaching out to him.
But Aus had other plans. With a swift leap, he jumped into Yelena’s other arm.
As soon as Aus approached, Lena shot him a disdainful look. Perched atop his head was a plastic bow, the kind children often favor, and it looked rather tacky. “Meow!” Lena scoffed.
Aus seemed to notice Lena’s judgment and protested, meowing back at her before lunging and nipping at his sibling.
Lena quickly retaliated, and the two were soon engaged in a playful scuffle. The skirmish escalated until Lena tumbled to the lawn. Immediately, Aus jumped out of Yelena’s arms and chased after her across the yard.
“Hey, where did you find this cat? It’s really giving Aus a hard time,” Amilia complained to Yelena, clearly upset.
Yelena glanced at Amilia and responded calmly, “They’re just playing p>

Amilia looked skeptical. To her, it seemed more like a real fight than playful fun.
Ignoring Amilia’s doubt, the two cats dashed off toward the playground the Harris family had specially designed for Aus.
When they arrived, Lena seemed to enter a world of wonder.
Aus glanced at Lena, as if to show off, and said, “See? I’m well cared for here too p>
However, Lena was too absorbed by the array of toys and play equipment to pay much attention to Aus.
Lena hopped onto a treadmill and started running swiftly.
As Yelena and Amilia approached, Lena sensed their presence and slowed down, transitioning to a more graceful trot.
Amilia watched Lena move elegantly on the treadmill, her eyes drawn to the necklace adorning the cat’s neck. She thought that the necklace gave Lena an air of nobility and elegance.
“If she can wear such a fine necklace, so can Aus,” Amilia mused. She was already planning how to accessorize Aus.
In the Harris household, there was no shortage of jewels and ornaments similar to the one Lena wore.
Despite her young age, Amilia owned several such necklaces, all gifts from her loving parents and brother. Her fascination with shiny, pretty things was well-known to her family, who indulged her every whim.
Her father often called her his little princess, promising to fetch her a star from the sky if she wished. True to his word, a star bore her name.
Aus watched Lena with wide eyes, astonished. Just moments earlier, Lena had been dashing around wildly, but now, she pranced with poise and elegance.
