Chapter 686: There’s no better motivation for parents than their children
"Auntie, why don’t you stay here instead of the townhouse?" I asked Aunt Nezja during dinner.
I had been away from Natha a lot after starting this whole mission. But there was a stark difference between sleeping in a camp or an inn with the group and sleeping in a wide bed all by my loneself. Even taking the children to the bed did not make it any fuller.
Haa...when I was away before, I was in the middle of doing something, so it didn’t feel so lonely or hard. But this time, it felt like I was waiting for my husband to come back from a faraway business trip.
I wondered if this was how Natha felt while I was away. Or was he too busy calming down our fussy baby? With my presence, Shwa was as calm and gentle as he was at the start, so I didn’t have to struggle with him anymore.
Perhaps that was why, the loss of Natha’s presence became more prevalent.
"Come sleep here, Auntie~" I blinked and fluttered my eyes, staring at Aunt Nezja with my best pitiful eyes.
"Sleep here~"
Even Jade helped me begging, so naturally, Aunt Nezja laughed and told me she would.
Wow, it also felt good to see Aunt Nezja laugh like that. Thinking how she was back then before fixing his relationship with Natha, wasn’t it a huge development? Or...perhaps it was because she regained hope for the Old Covenant?
Joyfully, we had a little night snack party after dinner. Even after Jade and Shwa fell asleep, we continued with a bit of cheese board and light wine that Mara carefully picked for us.
Naturally, our conversation revolved around Shwa--because I couldn’t seem to stop talking about him. Was this how parents were? Even after spending my whole day with the little dictator, I was still gushing out about him later on.
