Agis Stirlander then walked away as he took his hand back. His silhouette seemed lonely that carried many burdens.
Natalya looked at the sight and wanted to call her grandfather back.
She felt that she was being incredibly selfish and egoistic at this point. She had asylum with Davis but what about her father? Her mother? Her little sister?
Wasn't she just leaving them just like the to fend for themselves? It wasn't as if we were totally unaware of the situation as her grandfather had already explained.
From her grandfather's words, she even learned that the Third Prince was intent on attaining her in the future, hence, feeling insecure, she felt she had to make it to her man's residence no matter what.
And now that she was here, her mind traveled back to the safety of her family.
Suddenly, she felt a soft palm grasping her hand. She became startled and turned to look at the beauty in front of her.
At the same time, a shocking thought came to her mind, 'It's his first wife...'
"Why are you standing outside?"
A forced smile lit up on Evelynn's face.
Looking at Natalya's dumbfounded expression, she chuckled, "Let's go in~"
Natalya's mind became blank. She only felt herself be pulled into the residence and when she heard the door behind her close, she finally came out of her reverie!
"I..." Natalya didn't know what to say anymore as she looked around.
There were suddenly more people around her... making her feel stumped and small. However, she instantly recognized the two people who had familiar features closely resembling her man.
Logan and Claire were present, looking at their new daughter-in-law.
Davis looked around as realized this was why they were all sneaking around. Honestly, he didn't expect for Evelynn to bring her in...
'Is this is her way of mending my wrongs or following up for me as a wife?' Davis felt embarra.s.sed.
He looked above and saw that even Princess Isabella was here as well, floating beside a building but she then flew away as if she didn't want to stay here when she noticed his gaze.
Davis smiled at her actions and returned his gaze back to the scene.
His mother started to constantly speak and displayed her ability as the mother-in-law, quickly making Natalya a lot less nervous compared to the time she stood outside.
At the same time, Natalya became heartened. In truth, she was already prepared to be mistreated when she came here but contrary to her expectations, they welcomed her with open arms.
It was especially so from a single character that she didn't expect from and feared the most.
... The first wife!
She turned to look at Evelynn Loret.
Being pulled in to the residence by the first wife was a soul-stirring experience for her.
Although she had heard from her man that his first wife is a kind soul and even looked like one, she knew that the first wife was also a Poison Master!!
How can she not be worried for her life?
Just the nightmares she dreamt during the night about being tortured with poison by a mysterious female figure which she perceived to be Davis's first wife gave her the chills.
"... Isn't that right, Natalya?"
"Ah, yes..." Natalya momentarily got sidetracked with her thoughts and subconsciously replied.
But suddenly, they all went silent.
Davis had black lines over his face as everyone turned to look at him. He turned to look at Natalya, wondering why she lied.
Evelynn became stunned as she looked at Davis, feeling wronged. She couldn't help but feel aggrieved but didn't express her discontent.
"Wait... I wasn't listening to what you said!" Feeling that she had answered some question of great significance, Natalya hurriedly screamed.
Claire who was looking at her son with narrowed eyes, relaxed. She looked at Natalya again and asked more concisely because she felt that she had worded her question indirectly before, "I asked you if you were pregnant with my son's child?"
Natalya's expression changed as she instantly shook both her hands, "No! I'm not!"
A crimson hue crept up her cheeks as she became embarra.s.sed and ashamed. When she cast a side glance at the first wife, she certainly saw grievance in her eyes.
Natalya's lips quivered as she closed her eyes and screamed, "... I was scared! Please forgive me!"
Her scream made everyone turn speechless, not to mention making the atmosphere awkward.
Davis facepalmed and realized that Natalya was facing considerable pressure from all sides. He gestured his mother and father to withdraw, making them give her some breathing s.p.a.ce.
Evelynn blinked as this made her remember the first time she had met Davis's parents. Indeed, she had also been extremely nervous at that well but unlike Natalya, there was no first wife for her to face.
She is his first!
Thinking from this perspective, she actually for a moment, sympathized and felt pity for this poor soul known as Natalya. She believed that it wasn't the case of being seduced but rather hoodwinked by her husband.
In her mind, she had already established the fact that there might be only a few women in this world who will not fall for his looks and actions.
Even Princess Isabella fell for him!
Claire pursed her lips and felt Natalya was rather timid but that remained to be seen as she felt that any woman would feel pressure when facing their mother-in-law.
She wryly smiled and walked towards Natalya. She lifted her hands and cupped Natalya's face.
Natalya suddenly felt warm making her instinctively open her eyes, only to see her mother-in-law gently smile at her.
"I trust my son's decision. Now that you're part of this family, you don't need to feel scared."
Natalya who felt that she was going to be severely insulted for lying became stunned!
Last time she remembered, people weren't all this nice... Even her maternal kin, the Astoria Family treated them as disposables and tradeable...
However, these people were all understanding...
Somehow, she could see that they were all unique...
Claire consoled as best as she could and moved two steps back, "Alright, I and your father-in-law will leave things to you two to look after my son..."
She then flew away along with Logan.
Evelynn and Natalya subconsciously turned their heads to look at Davis at the same time.
Davis blinked as he felt glad. His mother for once, actually made the situation better! He couldn't help but feel that his mother had finally become mature!
After all, after regaining her cultivation when he broke her seal, she became a Young Mistress from the elegant mother she had been.
Her words also gave these two women a goal, and that was to take care of him.
'Mnm, being taken care of by two women...'
Davis suddenly had those videos he saw back on Earth pop up in his mind. He couldn't help but silently gulp.
Evelynn who was with him the longest realized his lewd gaze. Her lips couldn't help but imperceptibly curve, "Scoundrel..."
Only with Evelynn's prompt did Natalya understand as she connected the reason for this gaze. Her expression promptly became red as she too uttered with closed eyes, "Shameless..."
'Wait! This isn't how it supposed to be! Instead of cursing me, they should be pleasing me!' Davis inwardly screamed.
"Whoever doesn't hold my hand, I will not talk to them for a week!"
*Whoos.h.!.+~*
Suddenly, a strong wind brushed past his golden hair lifting it high into the sky while he felt two arms being held by four soft hands.
Two beauties held his arms side by side!
A smile imperceptibly appeared on his lips as he nodded his head, "This is how it should be..."
Evelynn and Natalya blushed as they clenched their teeth in embarra.s.sment. They knew that they fell right into his trap but even then, they looked at each other as sparks flew, not wanting to be the first one to take their hands off him!
