Chapter 353
"Why didn’t you bring the children?" Amelia asked after noticing it was only Gina and Alastor.
"I need a little break so I left them with my mother. It will hopefully help my father to finally acknowledge his grandchildren and see that they are harmless," Gina answered.
Her father was one of the humans who disliked demons and wanted them gone. He wasn’t thrilled to hear Gina was with Alastor so he spoke to her less. Her mother was excited to have her stop working and focus on starting a family. She could not change who Gina settled with and since demons had become a normal sight, she grew accustomed to it.
"They will get another chance to see Cyrus since he is forbidden from leaving the castle. Are you still with Jahi or did you move on?" Gina asked, hoping Cyrus had woken up and realised that he did not need Jahi.
"Jahi isn’t alive anymore. I have not moved on anyone yet and I don’t want to. It is a little strange to see the two of you with children and I am a little confused," Cyrus said, looking at Alastor. The last time he was in the north castle, Gina and Alastor did not get along. Now they are together.
"It’s been ten years and I am still confused. What have you been doing in the underworld for the last ten years? Just sitting around?" Amelia questioned.
"There wasn’t anything else to do, but I did visit this world from time to time. I just stayed away from this kingdom since I wasn’t ready to face you yet. I moved around a lot so you wouldn’t have been able to find me. Did your grandmother pass?" Cyrus asked as it was odd for Margaret to not be here.
"Well, you see. Ugh," Amelia paused to smile since she didn’t know how to say what happened to her grandmother with the children around. It wasn’t something she told Silas or Aydan yet. "By now, she has certainly passed, but we weren’t in a good place when she was still alive. When I returned to the castle to take it from Fraser, she revealed that she didn’t like Killian for me and she had a role to play in what happened to my mother."
Cyrus found that hard to believe since Margaret was Amelia’s greatest supporter. He was certain he remembered it correctly that Margaret was the one to bring up a marriage to Killian to Amelia. How had that changed?
