Chapter 190: The Other Soul
Maximus was not very impressed when she asked him to promise that he won’t meet Arioch again. But she’s been saying a lot of things and he wanted to know the whole story behind it. He didn’t think that she got so serious about this issue merely to stop him from confronting or bragging to Arioch. There should be more to it.
"Hmm..." Alexandra blinked her eyes open. She wanted to talk to him about it before she fell asleep. She was so happy thinking about it and her tiredness went away.
"My first time around in this world..." Alexandra smiled. Her hands gently caressed his eyebrows which were furrowed.
He relaxed by the gentleness of her hands. He wanted to look at her face and so he scooted down to be on eye level with her. Alexandra told him everything she was shown about their past lives.
Maximus could not believe what he was hearing. "It’s..."
Impossible!
He wanted to say. What is the possibility that he was the first of the Lukyan lineage and he was in love with her even in his first life too?
But is it really impossible?
"We were separated, Maximus..." her eyes clouded. "By none other than...my father! The first time, you were insecure that you were a human. Using your insecurity and telling a lie, my father kept you from me... I thought you never loved me when you were made to forget about your love for me... And consecutively, we were separated. Wasn’t that cruel?" she asked.
"It was..." he hugged her closely.
He had no way to confirm if what she says is the case truthfully. But if... If that was the case, and that was his story, then he endured a lot to be where he is—as her husband.
In fact, that would explain a lot.
