Chapter 55: Silence
Lyra and Blake soon reached the house and were welcomed by their babies, She bent down and caressed one of their heads "Look at you welcoming mama and papa, my sweetie pies"
Blake smiled faintly at Lyra and glared at them "Go inside the bedroom, I have something to talk to your mama"
Little snakes shrank back in fear and glanced at their mama, Lyra turned to Blake "Don't talk so harshly to them, they are getting scared"
Blake tsked "Don't spoil them too much Lilly, they are males" then he turned at them and said sternly "Didn't you hear me? Get inside"
The little snakes docilely slithered back inside the room, Lyra also started walking behind them but Blake held Lyra and hugged her "Spend some time with me Lilly, I missed you, those rascals are just trying to steal your time away from me"
Lyra chuckled and hit his chest "Are you jealous of your own sons?"
He buried his face inside her nape and nuzzled against it "I am. Because of them, I had to spend more than a month away from you, shouldn't you compensate?"
Lyra pulled away from him and pinched his handsome face "Before that, shouldn't you explain about your outrageous behavior a few moments ago"
Blake narrowed his eyes "I didn't do anything wrong, it was him that provoked me, how dare he declare his love for you in front of me?"
Lyra patted his shoulder to put her down and sat on the ground leaning against him "Don't be so angry at him, he is a desperate person. The first time when I met him, his eyes were lost and helpless, he begged me not to leave him alone. I for sure know that he never experienced warmth from anyone, so when I showed just a simple kindness he did not want to lose me, he is mistaking his feeling of being cared for as love. So I allowed him to stay with me, I think he would soon realize his real feelings"
Blake stared at her blankly and blinked his eyes "Do you believe that he doesn't like you?"
