Chapter 238: Family talk (4)
"It must be nice that he’s suddenly turned kind just in time to meet your wife. Years ago, he would have pulled out her fangs and sent her far away so you two couldn’t be together," said Camilla.
"Or maybe he is doing it because he loves me more than his children, who are always arguing. Don’t spoil the mood with the past. Take that up with him another time," Xavier said and then returned to listening to where Selene walked with Orlork.
Camilla sat down at the dinner table. "Well, look at you being a good husband to your wife. He’s right, you know. If he wanted to harm her, he would have done it the moment he saw her, or he would have waited for when she was out alone to steal her. He likes her."
"I can hear your jealousy in your voice," said Xavier.
"I can’t help it. He wasn’t fond of who I brought around, but he’s accepting your wife so easily. It must be true that sleep changes you. It gives you a lot of time to think. Should I go to sleep?" Camilla asked herself.
There was nothing for her here in this town or elsewhere.
"I would wake up when the town is more interesting. Would you let me sleep here?" Camilla asked Xavier. "You are the only one I can trust to not open my coffin and stab me. Then again, if she is here, I might not be too safe," she glanced at Josephine.
"Oh, please. If you are asleep and out of my sight, I wouldn’t open the coffin. I welcome you to go to sleep. I will buy the coffin myself if needed," Josephine offered.
"I will put two of you in a coffin and have you sleep in the dungeon if you do not stop. So, will you shut up, or should I start preparing coffins?" Xavier asked the pair.
