Chapter 2603: Burning Face

Chapter 1269 – Burning Face

Davis's sapphire eyes reflected a woman's profile holding a girl baby that seemed to have been just born a few days or weeks ago. Obviously, he could see that Nora Alstreim and her child, but he had been deeply shocked because if a child had been born here, wouldn't the father of the child be his father?

He couldn't think of any other alternative.

Looking at the adorable baby that looked back at him in curiosity, he stared at her the same way. She possessed the same sapphire eyes and blonde hair he had that he became convinced. She was Logan's and Nora's child.

However, his expression became a bit difficult as he took his gaze away from them and shot it towards Nero Alstreim. In his perspective, would this be considered forceful impregnation, or in other words, r.a.p.e?

If Nora Alstreim was his daughter, Davis felt that he would be definitely pissed off at the least, but looking at Nero Alstreim remain silent as he looked back at his daughter and the child, he didn't bother to interrupt his thoughts.

"Son, I understand that you are in disbelief, but how about you give me some reply…?" Nora Alstreim displayed a provoking smile on her face.

Davis's eyes relaxed a bit after he made a fool of himself by releasing that sound of disbelief from his mouth. He looked at Nora Alstreim, narrowing his eyes as he smiled, "You talk as if you're satisfied with this situation."

"I'm more than satisfied…" Nora Alstreim smirked as she walked towards them, "Claire and I might've had our misunderstandings, but as you said, it was my fault for not keeping Immeth Alstreim in check. I should've known, considering that she was too loyal for my own good. I gave her too much trust, and your mother's tragedy was the result. However, because of Logan, that tragedy became twisted into a hopeful opportunity in the form of you."

Nora Alstreim raised her head as she shot a glance at Claire, "She rather keeps grinding my ears when she talks about the feats you accomplished every day…"

Claire lowered her head as she wryly smiled, feeling awkward. If possible, she wanted Davis to see his sibling after she birthed the baby, but he came here before that. She felt that he would definitely mock her.

Davis couldn't help but blink at his mother.

"Mother, are you okay with this?" He asked a redundant question, just to make sure.

Claire surprisingly nodded her head, "Davis, it's not like Logan lacks women back at our home. In fact, it was you who lauded him to take responsibility for them, making me sad instead, but I understood why you did that because it seemed like the right thing to do even though it was not for me. I am proud of you for being unbiased, but that event changed me…"

"Mother…" Davis couldn't help but lower his head as he knew that he had really wronged his mother at that time.

"No, I thank you." Claire shook her head, "You made it easier for me to accept Nora. Without it, the only option was to kill them all, but I don't want that. I don't want Nora to die as we were like twins who tried to surpass each other."

"That's why, if a man we both loved can unite us and make us forget our differences, why wouldn't I cling to that? Why wouldn't we cling to that? Isn't that right, little sister Nora?"

"You got that right, big sister Claire…" Nora Alstreim giggled as she joyfully kissed the child on her cheeks and played with her.

Davis became a bit flabbergasted at their sync.

Could it be remaining in the same house for a year had changed their hearts and minds? It seemed like he was afraid for nothing.

Nevertheless, he was still in disbelief because he thought that the way they might become one like this was after several struggles. Perhaps there were struggles, but due to his mother's and Nora Alstreim's understanding, it might've been quickly resolved.

Moreover, since they hadn't come out of their living space, he instantly understood that his mother acted as the midwife for Nora Alstreim. That alone told that they had an amicable relationship. Forget amicable; it was equal to his Evelynn and Natalya's relationship where they had accepted each other to be his wives before Princess Isabella had entered his life.

But really, he couldn't say anything to them anymore because when he inwardly counted, he had already claimed six, no seven women in his mind. He really wasn't in a position to advise them, so he restrained from it.

"Where is the father then?" He smilingly asked.

"Husband is…" Nora Alstreim uttered, "On the verge of a breakthrough but not now as he is resting. He got interrupted when I gave birth, so the backlash hit him rather heavily."

"Ah… He cultivated the soul…?" Davis narrowed his eyes.

"Yes…" Nora Alstreim possessed a worried look in her eyes.

Davis nodded his head. If it was a soul injury, then it couldn't be helped. It might take a few months to heal, so he stood up.

"Let me see him…"

"Davis, you can't blame him for this… It was my idea!" Claire walked towards him.

"These two adorable babies are mother's idea too?" Davis pointed at both the babies as he teased.

Claire stopped as she turned embarrassed, "That… that was not-"

"It was me…" Nora Alstreim suddenly uttered as she giggled, "I found it very difficult to gain his love, so I had him… you know, love me fondly…"

"Besides, I was scared that he would leave me. That's why I decided to become a mother and birth our proof of love as soon as possible. We aren't married, but I don't care for that as long as he loves me…"

A wry smile appeared on her face before Claire went to softly console her.

Davis remained a bit flabbergasted as he came to understood that these two became very close, like true sisters. He honestly didn't expect it from his mother, but he knew that he can't be two-faced about this as he was expecting the same from his wives.

He hoped that his wives accept Sophie, Niera, and Nadia in the near future.

At this moment, Nero Alstreim stood up and walked towards the door in a shaky manner as he left the room.

All three of them looked at his back that disappeared when he exited the door without saying a word.

"So that friend of yours or the elder who wears a scary mask… He rather stared at me for too long, but why do I feel strange? Why do I feel like he is crying? Did he have a crush on me?" Nora Alstreim uttered in confusion.

Davis almost rolled his eyes on hearing her words. She was prideful as ever he had seen before, and it looks like the slave seal Claire placed on her didn't seem to make any difference to her character. However, looking at how close his mother and Nora were, he mused that the slave seal had already been removed.

What he didn't know was that the slave seal was taken away by Claire a few days after he left for the training session. The soft Claire couldn't bear to torture Nora for more than a few days that she secretly released her from the slave seal that Nora didn't even realize as she continued being a maid for a few days until the day she shared a bed with Logan.

That was what completely changed her mind about any untoward thoughts that she may have had after suffering, even though the fault didn't directly lie with her.

Nevertheless, Davis rather hesitated on what to tell Nora. That was her father, for heaven's sake. He blinked before his lips moved.

"Wait a moment…"

Davis left them hanging, making the two mothers look at each other in confusion.

"Who could that person be?" Nora Alstreim narrowed her eyes.

"Well, Davis said that he came to see you. I don't know who he is either." Claire shook her head.

"See me…?" Nora Alstreim blinked before an angered expression appeared on her face, "Don't tell me your son brought that friend of his to-"

"How can it be?" Claire instantly retorted, "Davis already knew that you would belong to us but just didn't expect it to have progressed at a fast pace. He even adamantly denied to take you as his woman when Ancestor Dian Alstreim proposed that he marry you in turn for leaving you alive."

Claire belatedly bit her lips as she knew that she said something she shouldn't have at this point in time. However, Nora didn't seem to bother as she possessed a complex expression on her face.

"Then who was that elder? I could feel Peak-Level Law Sea Stage undulations from him. Only Grand Elders in the Alstreim Family have reached that level, but this person is different. His aura is different from the Grand Elders I know of, but his aura feels… familiar a bit. I don't understand."

Nora Alstreim shook her head with a confused expression on her face.

Claire saw Davis leave the room before she grabbed Nora's shoulder and consoled, "We'll ask when my son returns… He's reliable than Logan could ever be in a sense."

Nora Alstreim rolled her eyes as a smile appeared on her face, "Of course, you'll place your son on your pedestal even if he is a wastrel, but I agree. If he didn't choose the path of reconciliation, as you said, then I would've been dead by now. I owe him my living breath, my gratitude."

Claire proudly nodded her head as she smiled.

======

Nero Alstreim stood by the wall as he leaned his back over it. His purple eyes naturally caught sight of Davis, who followed him outside before he averted his gaze.

"What? You're not gonna tell?" Davis asked as he stood before him.

It was not like he cared, but he couldn't allow this unstable father to walk freely, not knowing that he might do something in hastiness.

Nero Alstreim's c.h.e.s.t heaved as he seemed to take a deep breath, "I can see that she is my happy. I am satisfied, deeply satisfied."

Davis couldn't help but chuckle, "Did you fail to think that I could've manipulated her with a slave seal to act like that?"

"Very funny…" Nero Alstreim scoffed as he sarcastically uttered, "Then it's my first time seeing a person become happy while being wrongfully enslaved."

Davis chuckled deeply, thinking if it was rightful, it would be okay to be happy? Nevertheless, he didn't forget to compliment him.

"You did great by not revealing the existence of anyone inside the Lightning Sea. What are your plans anyway? You know only I can reach and get them back here, right?"

Indeed, Nero Alstreim didn't reveal anything. First, he had to see if his first daughter was safe. If she wasn't, then he was planning on taking revenge as much as possible before committing suicide by self-destruction to warn the others so that Davis couldn't use him to control his second daughter or anyone back in the Lightning Sea, but from the looks of it, seems like he had been rather overcautious.

He sighed exasperatedly, "Your father better legitimately marry Nora, or else I'm not letting this matter rest as the father-in-law!"

"Oh, does that mean you accept to be my father-in-law as well?" Davis slyly asked.

Niera was his woman, and he wouldn't allow Nero Alstreim or others or even Niera herself to say otherwise. Once he decided, he was going to be bent on making Niera his woman unless she betrayed him.

Nero Alstreim's expression twisted, making him feel ever so thankful to the mask that hid his expression. His body couldn't help but tremble as he sounded like as he was about to say something.

"Marr… Marrying off my two daughters to your family seems like a sham, but what can I do since both of them fell in love? You're all forcing me!!!" He suppressed his voice, causing Davis to shake his head as he laughed.

"Marrying them to our family would be the greatest decision you made in your life!"

Nero Alstreim couldn't help but look at him with a complex expression on his face because he knew that he really couldn't find any great son-in-law other than Davis for Niera!

His gem might have achieved Superior Law Manifestation, but the other party was a young man yet already a Soul King, for crying out loud! He was far superior to Niera that he really couldn't find any fault in him as his son-in-law.

However, in this case, his face was burning up because he had no choice but to bend his knees and kowtow three times like he said he would!
