Chapter 237: Family talk (3)
"Get out," Xavier said, tired of Orlork already.
"Unfortunately, I am not ready to go. I am still getting to know more about your wife. Weren’t you a close friend of her mother?" Orlork questioned Josephine.
"We weren’t that close, but I was around her quite a few times," Josephine answered.
"Oh, please. You were invited to their home, and I had seen them at Blackthorn balls. We all followed to avoid them when it came out they wanted to kill the king. Their old friends won’t admit they had been close to her parents," said Camilla, having experienced this after her broken fangs.
"We had been around each other, but I don’t think she considered me a close friend. I haven’t spoken ill of her parents since I don’t know all that happened. I have never denied that I was around them," Josephine said, annoyed by Camilla. "It was Nathaniel who tried to act like we didn’t know them."
"We don’t need to go into this now. I would rather not speak about my parents or children. Xavier and I should be the only ones speaking about children. Whether we want to have them or not," Selene said, ending the conversation, or so she hoped.
"I won’t be awake for long. I was hoping to go back to sleep with some good news. Do you not plan to have one at all?" Orlork asked, hoping it wasn’t so.
"If you want great-grandchildren, tell your other children to act upon it quickly or have Jasper find someone to have a child with. Don’t bother us with what you want," Xavier said, his patience quickly slipping.
"Nonsense. Jasper doesn’t have any plans to raise children. He’s not fond of them," Orlork said, discarding that idea.
