Chapter 311: Reunited (2)
"Grandfather, is this where you have been living all along? I thought you liked to sleep outside, so I wasn’t able to visit. Not that you live in a cave," Selene said, surprised by where they walked to get to Zephyr’s home.
"I am not disturbed by anyone while I am here. The only visits I get are from animals. I have lived here from the moment your mother decided to stay in town with your father. It is better than it looks at first glance," said Zephyr.
"I didn’t mean to make it sound awful. I am only surprised that it is here you reside. I would not have found you since I would have looked for a house. Thank you," Selene said after Zephyr held her before she slipped.
"I travelled too much to have a home around the town. This is where I will return to when I visit you," said Zephyr.
"Why?" Selene asked, seeing no need for him to stay here. "There are plenty of rooms in the estate. You don’t have to hide while you are in town. Come stay with us."
"I will think about it. I don’t like to intrude," Zephyr replied.
Zephyr kept his distance to not disturb the couple with his presence. He had done it with Thomas and Seraphina so Thomas wouldn’t be so nervous when Zephyr was to stay overnight.
"You wouldn’t be intruding. The estate is quite large, so we can place you where you will have rooms all to yourself. You must stop being alone, grandfather," Selene said, clinging to Zephyr’s hand as she walked. "You have that in common with Xavier."
Selene’s excitement grew when they reached the mouth of the cave. A little bit more and she would see her parents.
