Chapter 844 Confession

After some time of further consoling and bringing back Lucia to normalcy, Davis exited the seclusion room with her.

Lucia apologized to everyone for causing inconvenience, but her mother, Su Hualing, came forward and hugged her, saying that it was fine as long as she was back.

Looking at the faces of others, they all seemed to be happy that he managed to bring back Lucia to her old self, but he felt that there was a great misunderstanding going on in their minds.

'Fuck!' Davis inwardly cursed.

Could it be this whole household except Lucia was trying to hook her up to him?

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He felt that this misunderstanding should be better cleared by Lucia instead. However, he and his parents didn't leave because, after this, they partook in a feast made by the triplets and dined. At that time, their matrimony was brought up again, causing Lucia to be flabbergasted.

She looked at Davis, only to see him shake his head, indicating that this matter doesn't have anything to do with him.

Then without warning, Lucia flipped the whole round table and walked away under her father's reprimanding tone. Davis had the urge to clap umpteenth times for her bravery and tenacity.

'A woman should be like this!' He inwardly nodded, but looking at the wasted food that was on the ground that tasted plenty delicious, he became sorrowful.

Granduncle Daniuis had no choice but to apologize to the Loret household for this mess. Logan laughed it away and was straightforward: "That's what you get for trying to marry a maiden who had just come out of her loss."

"Sigh, what can I do? I assumed that Davis managed to grasp her heart since they came out together smiling..." Granduncle Daniuis wryly spoke.

It actually couldn't be blamed on him since all others felt the same. Feeling that he should strike while the iron is hot, he brought up the topic again, but Lucia instead flipped the table and screamed for them never to bring that up again!

"It's fine, Granduncle. She has become normal again, and you don't need to worry about her, at least, for a long time," advised Davis.

"Alright, I hope it is as you say, grand-nephew." Granduncle Daniuis could only let out a sigh, but he more or less trusted in Davis. After all, he possessed the achievements to be believed in.

=====

Natalya combed her hair as she sat in front of a body mirror in a particular room. This residence wasn't Davis's, but this residence was where her parents and grandpa stayed within the estate.

She had come to inform them of their decision to leave for the Alstreim Family. Of course, in the meantime, she told them that they would be staying here in this city as following them to the Alstreim Family's location would be too dangerous.

She somehow managed to convince them, but since she felt that she wouldn't see them for a short time, she decided to stay in her parent's residence for a while, like a week or two or perhaps until Davis left the estate to the Alstreim Family.

Natalya suddenly became startled.

A knock could be heard from the door to her room, prompting her to open the door with her Infant Soul Stage soul force, "Enter!"

The door opened, and a woman with a slim figure and ample proportions walked in and smiled, "Elder sister, I've come out from seclusion."

"Little brat! Such a big thing happened outside, but you're in seclusion as if you don't have a care in the world." Natalya berated with a smile.

This person was none other than Fiora, Natalya's little sister.

"Hehe! With brother-in-law protecting the household, how could our ceiling collapse!?" Fiora seemed to be in cheerful spirits as he undulations spread.

Her cultivation seemed to have reached the peak of the Fourth Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation, Peak-Level Body Transformation Stage!

Natalya laughed together while a proud glint flashed past her eyes. Fiora's words just might've been flattery since she did not know the truth of the story of Conferred Queen. However, she knew that everything that happens here is because of Davis, her husband. Hence, she was unabashedly proud.

"Sit..." Natalya pulled Fiora over to the bed and sat. She recounted what had happened and further informed that she would be leaving soon with Davis to the Alstreim Family along with the Conferred Queen.

Fiora was flabbergasted with what had all happened, but then, when she heard that her elder sister had fought with a top disciple of a major power like the Falling Snow Sect, she couldn't believe her ears!

However, when Natalya displayed her cultivation base that was at the Law Seed Stage and further showcased her comprehension in Ice Laws, she was utterly convinced.

After hearing all of it from her elder sister's mouth, Fiora smiled and praised her elder sister, but she also felt a trace of frustration and jealousy that she had never felt before.

She had something to be proud of, but even that was taken away by her elder sister. It was her talent in Essence Gathering Cultivation. The talent she always prided in became inferior to her elder sister's, or it could be better told that the resources her elder sister got by marrying Alchemist Davis were a hundredfold better than hers.

Fiora wasn't good at concealing emotions. Her smile seemed more of a bitter one than a cheerful one, and that didn't escape Natalya's perception.

"What's wrong, little sister?"

Fiora's expression froze as she shook her head. She wanted to hide behind a smile again, but even that turned complicated.

Natalya became serious and prompted again.

Fiora bit her lower lip before she smiled and wryly said, "You know, elder sister? Nowadays, I couldn't help but think what if... What if I had given myself to Alchemist Davis at that time... Would he have treated me the same as how he is treating you right now?"

Fiora wanted to stop, but the words that she held at her throat wouldn't stop.

On the other hand, Natalya's expression froze.

Looking at Natalya's expression, Fiora instantly regretted her words. She was finished! She knew that she was finished! Their relationship would never be the same again.

Eyeing her own elder sister's husband? It couldn't get any uglier than this between them. She was afraid that her elder sister would misunderstand, so she instantly said.

"Just forget what I said... Haha, it seems that I'm just sleep-talki-"

Natalya suddenly grasped Fiora's hands, "Fiora, what do you mean nowadays? Is that thought constant? Does it occur every day? If so, I think you have formed a heart demon formed from regret. Don't let it get to your law-heart...."

She possessed a serious expression on her face.

Fiora became stunned. Looking at the care in her elder sister's eyes, her lips quivered.

"Elder sister, I..." Moist gathered in her eyes, but she was unable to articulate her emotions.

"I'm sorry..." She squealed and buried her face on her elder sister's shoulders, silently bawling her eyes out.

Natalya smiled and caressed her little sister's head, "What are you saying? My husband is a desirable man and someone who helped her our family survive two disasters. He didn't take advantage of your plight at that time, and that left a profound impression of him in you. It is normal that you would hold some complicated feelings for him in your heart."

Fiora sniffled, unable to let out words. She could only cry in self-loathing as her thoughts were laid bare by her elder sister.
