Book 10: Chapter 18
“Mommy Vyvyan?!”
Someone stormed in before I could console Ling Yue. Their speed and immense murderous intent made me think that they were an assassin. If it wasn’t for the light from the flame behind me, I really would’ve called for my men.
Vyvyan looked at me and panicked. Then she stopped her gaze on Ling Yue. I subconsciously covered Ling Yue with the blanket, and then pushed her behind me.
Mommy Vyvyan looked at me, enraged. She then raised her voice to ask me, “Son… What have you done?!!”
“Yes! It was my fault! I commit a despicable mistake! It was all my fault! I’m very sorry, Mom! I’ve caused you trouble!!”
I, indeed, did do something despicable. I did that to a girl that had nothing left to rely on. Most importantly, I couldn’t promise the girl anything. What, am I just going to go back and tell Nier and Lucia, “Hey, I accidentally did it with her, so Ling Yue is going to be living together with us, as well. Make sure to get along you, okay, you three?”
There would be a homicide. I wouldn’t die, but Ling Yue would. Moreover, what Ling Yue said made me suffer most. The young girl’s marriage was ruined by me. What I did to her was disgraceful. I don’t think it would be excessive even if Mom beheaded for it. I’d consider it well-deserved punishment.
“That’s right! Son! Mommy never thought you were that sort of kid! Did Mommy go wrong somewhere when educating you?! Mommy always told you to be loyal to your spouse, to protect her and love her all your life, but what have you done?! Son! You betrayed Lucia and me! And twice at that! Full-moon nights are my special right! I won’t allow anyone to interfere!”
‘Hang on! Please stop for a moment!’
