At the residence of Tristian Varden Writh,
A young woman looked blankly at the scene outside the window. The sunlight was so hot, but now and then, a light breeze hit her skin, so this situation was not a big problem for her. The memory of a baby girl flashed back, which made the pointed-nosed woman grieve.
“How is my baby girl? Is she okay now? Who was discovering Alexa? My husband said that there were two people in charge at the orphanage and they would definitely accept our daughter. But what if the opposite happened? I hope Goddess Magia always protects my princess,” Lavena muttered quietly.
The only daughter of the couple, Sir Alex Martinus Keira and Madame Gabrielle Atventz Meira was speechless. She looked back at the outside blankly as if there was no soul in her body. In less than five minutes, a well-built man seemed to enter there. He looked around like he was looking for someone.
In the man’s right hand, there was still a basket with a sleeping baby boy. The room’s atmosphere was quiet because there had been no conversation at all. “Where is my wife? She is supposed to be here.”
He walked there, then saw a woman with long curly hair, blonde colour in that area. He could hear Lavena exhaling several times as if she was expelling all the worries in her heart. The emerald-eyed man smiled, then walked toward the opposite sex with a happy feeling. “Ah, finally, I found her.”
Without wasting time, the man who had become a father at a young age followed his lovely wife, who was still contemplating. Meanwhile, the biological mother of Alexa Jocelyn Heart was still in the same area. She seemed to enjoy the breeze and did not notice that someone else had dared to enter the room.
“Wifey.”
That voice made the intelligent woman stunned for a few seconds, then realized that it was her husband who said that. However, she did not want to turn around, even though there was such a call. The red-haired man looked confused, as if his life partner was still staring at the scenery outside the window. The head of the family did not raise the issue and kept stepping into the same location as his lovely lady.
“Dear, why are you standing there?” Tristian asked quietly.
A man, who had a height of one hundred and eighty-five centimetres tall, was standing on the left side of his lovely wife, but the beautiful woman had not responded at all, as if the opposite sex was not listening to what Tristian had said. Lavena was even reluctant to look at the other person’s face but chose to look down.
At a time like that, a woman with a sharp nose as soon as possible widened her eyes when she realized her husband had been carrying a basket in which a baby boy was still fast asleep.
The feeling of anger mixed with disappointment also hurt and re-emerged in Lavena’s mind. A woman who had always been a discussion partner for her husband still clearly remembered how her heart was broken when she had to leave her beloved daughter at the door of an orphanage. Meanwhile, Tristian felt odd because his life partner’s emotional changes are so significant.
“Why are you still bringing that damn child here? Throw him in the trash, because he deserves to be there! You damn son of a bitch!” Lavena snapped at the baby boy.
“Honey! Do not talk like that! He is innocent!” said Tristian quickly.
Lavena straightened up, then bravely looked at her lovely man. The twenty-five-year-old man was suddenly shocked because now he could clearly see the anger mixed with revenge in his wife’s eyes. They were silent for a while, so even an aura of awkwardness was unavoidable.
“My dear, what happened to you? Why are you being like this?” Tristian asked softly.
A man who married at a young age tried his best to suppress the emotions from those words, even though this was very difficult. Lavena did not answer, but so many voices grew inside her head. They sounded blamed her husband’s behaviour, which had been unfair to their own daughter.
The man with a thick beard and sideburns had started to feel bad because he saw by himself that his wife had done strange actions today, even not hesitating to start an argument with him.
“Wifey?” call Tristian, be careful.
“Why did you come to see me with that damned child? I hate him! If you really want to keep him, go ahead. Do not bring him in front of me, or I will kill the bloody baby boy!” Lavena again did not answer her husband’s questions, but she said something else so that the man became frightened, even though the interlocutor could not see it from his face.
“My love, do not talk like that. We agreed before adopting Larry as our child.” Tristian again reminded her of their last decision. The man even used a soft tone of voice in order to prevent a fight between them.
After hearing the interlocutor’s words, the woman who liked natural scenery got even more glaring. “I did not want to support the decision, but had forced to agree to it. Our daughter is much better than that damn adopted son, and until then, I will not accept him in this family. Hubby, if you love me, keep that bastard baby away from my eyes.”
Tristan shook his head. Lavena did not care about her husband’s reaction and kept glaring at the other person, her life partner. “Honey, I really do not understand why do you act like this and the way you are thinking now. What was wrong with you? Why do not you tell me honestly if something has been bothering you? It was much better than you being angry for no reason like now.”
“I hate this baby boy. To be honest, I prefer to be with my baby, rather than having to take care of a child who clearly does not come from royalty. One surprising thing from you, Hubby, I saw your happiness when this child was coming. Do you really like Larry more than your own daughter, who was thrown into an orphanage so far away? Did you think about her? I as Alexa mother feel so depressed because I could not see her face anymore, but you did the opposite act.”
Her husband’s expression turned to annoyance. Meanwhile, the basket containing a baby boy was lowered on the floor, to be precise, on the side of the left foot. “Why do you even say that, Honey? Of course, I really love Alexa, because she came from our flesh and blood. Did you still remember about one of our decisions that we have to act naturally, so when we introduce our baby to our community, they will not feel suspicious?”
“Whatever it is, I do not want if you pay more attention to Larry. If that damn prophecy had never existed, then our daughter would still be here instead of him!” pointed Lavena towards the basket that her husband had brought.
Suddenly, they heard a cry that startled them. The man, who was still a descendant of nobility as soon as possible, lifted the basket, and then took out the baby boy from there. After the adopted son was in his arms, Tristian also patted Larry’s ass several times as if trying to calm the child.
“Do not cry, Larry. Papa is here.”
Larry was still crying, but Tristian tried to make that baby boy stop crying. The thin-lipped woman did notice the moment, making Lavena hurt because it reminded her of the terrible fate experienced by their little princess, who was abandoned in an orphanage so that she could no longer see her own daughter.
“What? You called yourself as ‘Papa’?! You are not his biological father of him! You are the real father of Alexa Jocelyn Heart and not that rotten baby!”
Without thinking, the green-eyed woman immediately left her husband, who did not have time to stop his lovely lady from leaving because he was busy calming the baby boy who was still crying in his arms.
“Fuck! My husband actually loves Larry more than our daughter! If it is like this, then I will make sure that the bloody baby boy will not feel at home in this house. I must kill him as soon as possible, especially when things are safe, and Alexa can be back in my arms!” Lavena muttered with firm resolve.
