Chapter 489: Exposed!
Seeing that her elder sister was about to end the conversation, Qenna quickly said, “How about I set a limit then? A thousand times… five hundred times, just five hundred times! I’ve already compromised half! If we hurry, we can get it done in three months!”
“Are you crazy, Qenna!?” Nona exclaimed, “You just can’t—”
“Can’t.”
Qenna put down her spoon and said, “I’m a bit tired of this cake, I won’t eat it anymore.”
“To me, many things in this world are like this cake. Most things don’t even qualify to interest me, and the things that do interest me quickly become tiresome. Over the years, the only consistent sources of enjoyment for me have been you and Annan.”
“It’s rare to find someone I’m interested in, so of course, I have to indulge myself before I let go,” Qenna said. “But besides that, there’s a more important reason.”
Nona was taken aback and then realized, “The future of the family?”
“Since Gospel likes me being with Ashe so much, I’ll just be with him,” the Elf patriarch said, resting her chin on her hand. “If this can help Senhaeser get through the upcoming chaotic times, I don’t mind sacrificing a bit for Annan.”
Whether it was the formal Family Ranking or the somewhat chaotic Happiness Ranking, Gospel tightly bound Senhaeser, Qenna, Nona, and Ashe together. Now, with the future so uncertain, Ashe was indeed the lifeline designated by Gospel. Nona had no way to refute Qenna’s excuse—compared to Senhaeser, Annan did weigh a bit less in her heart.
