Chapter 137
The Merman, My Man by ck Velvet Chapter 137
To my surprise, the things in this storage space were all items made by humans. It was messy, but it
had almost everything. There were canned spices, jewelry, and decorative pieces made of ivory. There
was even wine and beer. These were all itemsmonly shipped via the sea. Other than that, there
were items widely used in voyages, and most of them seem aged, such as the nautical map made of
sheepskin, a looking ss made in the 18th century, and a steering wheel that looked like it was
detached by brute force.
Oh my goodness! I was stunned by these antique items when I spotted a worn and tattered multi–
Japanese so quickly. ‘He must be a merman who‘s fond of learning...’
I flipped the dictionary open and found several pen marks on many phrases. They must have been
made by the previous owner of the dictionary. I couldn‘t tell whichnguage many of the words
belonged to due to the intelligible handwritingbined with the corrosion of seawater
and time.
The items in this storage space proved that Dicken was more than three hundred years old, and these
items were proof of his interactions with humans across the years. These must be his loot or
memorabilia...
The thought that I may not be the first human he had brought back to the cave urred to me. That
would also mean that I may not be his first mate because the age difference between us was far too
wide.
With that in mind, I suddenly had a sour feeling in my heart. I realized that I was acting like a wife
finding out that her husband still had feelings for his ex. I hit myself on the head several times to
disperse that weird thought and shifted my attention back onto the items. But as I resumed looking

through the items, I still couldn‘t help but feel frustrated.
‘Snap out of it, Linda: Why are you feeling hung up? You should be thinking about how you can get out
of here. Even if the old merman had brought other humans back into this cave, it has nothing to do with
you!”
I furrowed my brows in frustration as I looked around, trying to divert my attention elsewhere. I noticed
that there seemed to be another entrance to this cave. But right when I was about to walk over to take
a closer look, I heard a sound coining from outside the cave. I thought that
Dicken had returned and immediately made my way back to the main entrance. But when I walked past
the pool, I was startled to see Dicken in it. Because of that, I lost my footing and fell into the pool.
‘F*ck! Why am I always so unlucky.‘
As I iled around trying to climb back up, I identally swallowed a few gulps of water. While doing
so, I hit Dicken‘s face and was startled, causing me to fall back into the water again. Dicken
swiftly scooped my waist, and his tail curled around my legs as he carried me out of the pool. Then he
put me down gently.
Under the dim light, Dicken‘s face was engulfed in shadows, so I couldn‘t see what expression he was
making. I suddenly felt guilty from looking through his private items.
I guessed that he probably knew what I had just done, but I wasn‘t sure whether he was angry about it.
So when his w reached up to the nape of my neck, I couldn‘t help but shiver. I was scared that his
sharp ws would snap my neck in half in a sudden fit of rage. But as it turned out, he was just
steadying my neck and head while he tilted his head down to lick at my chest.
