Chapter 550: Being a parent means holding back your tears in front of your child
I spent the time before luncheon being all clingy and preventing my husband from getting back to work. Not that he minded, it seemed, since he didn’t even let me go one bit.
Well, I just used the chance to act all spoiled.
To be honest, I still felt sad even with the promise of a portal connecting me to the human realm. I mean...what was the use of that portal if Zarfa and Aina were on a journey with the Hero?
And so, since I couldn’t openly show it outside, I just sulked all I wanted when it was just the two of us.
Thanks to that, I felt fairly lighthearted during luncheon--until Jade came with D’Ara, that was. I spent a few minutes staring at the cheerful little bird gushing out about its training day before the panic settled in.
Oh, no--oh, no!
How should we explain everything to Jade?!
Looking around, I found no presence of Zia and Izzi. We checked the nursery too, and they had left without telling us. Well...they probably need more time to talk things through--it correlated heavily with their future after all.
Uhh...it would be weird talking about Zia leaving without Zia here, right? With that reasoning, I postponed telling Jade about it, thinking I would give it to the little bird bit by bit through hint until the day Zia would depart.
Except...Zia came the next day dropping the bomb that she would leave that day.
Damn, girl. No ’take it slow’ or ’get used to it’ first?
