Chapter 166: You cannot rush and let Selene know...
Xavier POV
My mom recoiled slightly at his words, some of the fire in her eyes dimmed as my dad continued in a softer tone.
"She’s still the woman our son loves, although they’re not together but she’s the mother of his children and his one and only true mate. Also, she’s your brother’s wife... Noah will die if anything happens to her and you know that..." he sighed "So please, we gain nothing and only risk further damage by trying to punish her,".
For a fleeting moment, I felt my heart swell at my father’s words and his defence of Selene’s honor but my mom’s next words turned the warmth into confusion instantly.
"Oh? Don’t tell me you’ve softened up, Paul... Did you think about all of these grand words and philosophies when you were taking care of them years ago? Or since she’s being passed around the family, perhaps you’re hoping it will get to your turn and you can finally stick your thing inside of her,".
"Nora, for Moon’s sake..." My dad gritted his teeth "We agreed not to talk about that anymore especially not in front of the kid,".
The air crackled as both of them remained silent. My mom seemed to have realized that she had made a mistake and had quieted. My head whipped around to pin her an incredulous stare as I asked the second time.
"Okay guys, what are you talking about?" I demanded letting my gaze sweep them "Selene’s parents died okay... it was a tragedy and...".
"That was no mere tragedy, my darling boy," my mom crooned cutting me off with a cold smile. She came towards me with the smile still in place ignoring the warning glint now flickering in my dad’s eyes. I could tell he was trying to mind-link her but she didn’t even want to respond to him.
