Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1280 - Odd Smile

Chapter 1280 - Odd Smile

Needless to say, it was Davis who waved his hand at Rosalia Stirlander. He came here to see Fiora and expected to see at least one of them, but it was unexpected that all of them would be in this hall. He looked behind and saw that they were playing a board game.
"S-Son-in-law..." Rosalia Stirlander's expression became even more excited as she didn't think that he would actually visit them.
"Come in. Please come in~" Her voice melodiously echoed as she nudged them before grasping Natalya's hand. She pulled her to the side and whispered in her ear with a soul transmission.
"If you're visiting us with son-in-law, why didn't you say so sooner with a messaging talisman..."
Natalya wryly smiled, "I wanted it to be a surprise..."
"But... we're unprepared that even a cup of tea is not ready~"
"..." Natalya blinked, "Mother, calm down. We require no such thing or formalities. Just be as you are..."
"Is that so...?" Rosalia Stirlander blinked before she saw that the men had begun to greet each other while she noticed Evelynn. Evelynn noticed and gave a silent bow of respect as she clasped her hands. However, Rosalia Stirlander practically became nervous that she didn't dare accept that bow as she ran and raised Evelynn up.
"Don't... Your status is..."
"Much higher...?" Evelynn smiled as she continued, "Do I look like someone who bothers about status?"
Rosalia Stirlander couldn't help become taken aback. She really hadn't had a conversation with Davis's first wife other than knowing that she was a poison cultivator. There were times where she had worried for Natalya being wrongfully poisoned, but Natalya spoke about Evelynn as if they were close sisters, letting her rest easy.
Now that she saw her and stared at Evelynn's pure eyes, she couldn't help but feel gratified, "Then I'm like a mother to you as well. Come in, don't stay outside..."
She arbitrarily grabbed Evelynn's hands and brought her inside under Natalya's embarrassed gaze.
Davis glanced at the side and couldn't help but feel amazed by this mother-in-law. It takes courage to even come close to a poison cultivator, much less forcefully grab their hands before dragging them inside. He returned his gaze to Agis Stirlander. He had already finished exchanging greetings.
Agis Stirlander raised his hand and placed it on Davis's shoulder, "I know you're taking good care of Natalya, but when are you going to give us joy in the form of your and Natalya's child? Where is my great-grandchild?"
Natalya instantly blushed as she waved her hand, an icy chill emerging on Agis Stirlander's back that he practically gasped as he held his nape.
"Aiya!~"
"Don't be crass, grandfather!~" She couldn't help but scream in embarrassment.
Davis and Igor Stirlander couldn't help but laugh before they looked at each other.
"Please enter, son-in-law. We were rather expecting you for a long time, but I know that you're simply busy with cultivation and other matters. Excuse our rudeness..."
"Then excuse my rudeness too as I have failed to be a son-in-law..." Davis smiled before he shook his head and walked in along with everyone while Igor Stirlander couldn't feel any happier to be treated right and not looked down upon.
Now, he certainly knew that Natalya had struck the golden luck in a woman's life. Wealth, and love, she obtained it all, making him feel happy for his daughter.
In all this, Fiora seemed to remain dumbfounded as the light in her black pupils reflected the figure of a man who seemed to glow like the sun in her eyes. Her heart began to unknowingly speed up while she began to feel fuzzy.
She came back to herself as she saw them be seated before finding that she was already feeling stifled. Her legs moved as she ran and sat beside her elder sister, holding her arm before finally feeling like her emotions could be controlled the same as her rapidly beating heart.
Natalya looked at her little sister hold her like the old times where she was a small little kid, relying on her elder sister before her talent in cultivation inflated her ego, making them engage in small fights before they began to rarely talk.
Looking at how Fiora held on to her as if she were her hope, Natalya couldn't help but giggle, "Were you like a good little sister who concentrated on her cultivation like you said you would?"
"Elder sister, don't tease..." Fiora went redder by the second as her voice echoed like a mosquito.
Natalya couldn't almost help but burst out laughing, but she liked teasing her little sister like this, making her feel heartened. However, her expression became a bit solemn. It was not like Fiora asked her to marry her to Davis, nor did she ask for anything unscrupulous or questionable.
It was her own idea to confront Davis about her little sister.
Looking at Fiora slightly glance at Davis whenever she had the chance, Natalya couldn't help but feel that her little sister had developed her feelings for him. Otherwise, Fiora wouldn't be this shy enough to snuggle into her embrace. Perhaps, she was just happy at seeing him.
At this moment, Davis, who was talking with his in-laws, turned his face towards Fiora and caught her glancing at him. Fiora quickly froze before she glanced away and looked at Natalya, seemingly starting to engage in banter suddenly.
"Elder sister, how were you all this time? I missed you."
Davis: "..."
He returned his gaze back and spoke about contemporary things along with Evelynn to the in-laws. However, inwardly, he became convinced that Fiora possessed feelings for him. An exasperated sigh almost came from his mouth, but he suppressed it. He wasn't exasperated with Fiora but exasperated with his blinding luck with women, good women at that.
If they were shitty or vile, it would be so easier for him to not care, but...
Why was it that most of the women he met so adorable and upright that he couldn't help but want to make them his and make love to them? This wasn't him, but at some point, he realized that he became like this, feeling complicated at his own feelings.
Nevertheless, he couldn't start speaking about this matter in front of the in-laws even if he had to confront her this day. He didn't want to cause awkwardness but finish this matter peacefully without creating much trouble.
Today, there were only two choices placed in front of him.
To convince Fiora to forget him or to convince himself to take her as his woman.
He understood that one of these two choices was going to happen, but he hoped that if it were the first choice, it doesn't lead to any untoward consequences, like depression, grief, or even self-harm. He didn't want this adorable woman who was just three years older than him to come to harm.
However, if it was the second... Davis inwardly felt exasperated by himself.
Time passed as he spent time with the in-laws. About an hour or so since he didn't want them to feel that they were being looked down upon. Even if it wasn't the case, if he came to visit them, then time must be spent in good interactions. Otherwise, they might inevitably think that they are being looked down upon and become saddened without saying a word.
After all, they wouldn't dare to offend him as they've given them his daughter.
"Well then, it's time well spent. I gotta go and enjoy some time with Evelynn and Natalya..." Davis stood up, announcing his departure.
Everyone stood up along with him, exchanging pleasantries.
"Come see us again, son-in-law. We'll be expecting you to pay us a visit before a year passes by, or we will become sad." Igor Stirlander laughed.
"Sure, sure..." Davis couldn't help but smile as he looked at the father of Natalya.
He was an easy-going man, basically looking like he didn't care about much but hidden in him was a caring heart that extended even to him and Evelynn. He didn't differentiate Evelynn and talked to her as if though he were her father, coming to understand how much of a sweet girl Evelynn was.
"Son-in-law, don't listen to my husband." Rosalia Stirlander intervened, "You should come to visit us only if you have time. Otherwise, you don't need to bother about us."
Davis couldn't help smilingly nod his head.
He understood more about his mother-in-law, Rosalia Stirlander. She was a lovely and mature woman who knew how to see through a man's mentality. He couldn't help but feel that no wonder Natalya was influenced by her mother to seduce him on the bed, making his s.e.x.u.a.l experience with Natalya on the bed become richer than he could ever think of. This also explained why Natalya would be s.e.x.u.a.lly willing to allow another woman on the bed.
It was ultimately to please him through this method.
'A milf...' That was what came to his mind, but he didn't have any untoward thoughts towards his mother-in-law, purely having respect for her devotion to her husband and her daughters.
He basically wasn't interested in married women, and Davis became heartened of himself when he reaffirmed this in his head. Fortunately, it looks like he hadn't completely rotted enough to see another man's woman the same way as he looked towards pure maidens.
"Take care then..." Agis Stirlander spoke as they stood over the exit.
Davis nodded his head along with Evelynn and Natalya, "You too. Don't get too old enough to get wrinkles, or Natalya would become sad."
"Hahaha! I won't! I'm still planning on getting a new wife and beginning a lovely family again! Damn, the Alstreim Family is full of beautiful women!" Agis Stirlander crazily began to laugh while everyone shook their heads, feeling embarrassed for him.
As for Agis Stirlander, there was no need to say as they remained the old pals as soon as they began talking to each other like friends.
"Fiora, come with us..." Natalya suddenly uttered at this moment.
"Uhn?" Fiora became dumbfounded in an instant as her smile froze.
She was enjoying this situation, satisfied for today while just silently admiring Davis. However, being called out on by Natalya, she momentarily didn't know what to say.
"How can it be? She would be a disturbance to you three..." Rosalia Stirlander couldn't help but frown.
After all, if Davis was going to spend time with his wives, that would mean intimacy. There was no need for Fiora to be there, being a third wheel or such an annoying existence.
"It's fine, mother. We are just going to spend time in leisure for a while. Fiora could tag along, and it would not be a problem." Natalya spoke out with a straight face before she looked at Davis, "Isn't that right, husband?"
"Sure, I don't have a problem." Davis smiled back, feeling that he had to compliment Natalya's ability to act without batting an eye.
"Me neither..." Evelynn added before someone else asked her.
"See?" Natalya raised her brows at her mother.
"Alright then..." Rosalia Stirlander felt odd, "I don't have a problem but Fiora..."
"I'm coming with you, elder sister!~" Fiora squealed while having a healthy blush on her face.
Rosalia Stirlander blinked, wondering why Fiora didn't catch on to her words. She felt that she shouldn't obviously disturb the three of them, but Fiora didn't understand?
"Excellent!~" Natalya gave out a lovely smile, "Then mother, we're off!~ See you later!~"
She dragged Fiora and ran away while Davis and Evelynn slightly bowed while the other party did the same before Davis's party left.
The Stirlanders watched them leave before the two men headed inside. However, Rosalia Stirlander couldn't help but recall and find it odd how Fiora looked strangely happier than she ever did this year.
Rosalia Stirlander couldn't help but blink thrice before she muttered, "I think I now know the truth of the disturbance I felt..."
"Huh? Did you say something?"
Igor Stirlander turned to look at his wife after being seated, still feeling happy about this occasion as he had his own thoughts.
Rosalia Stirlander turned back to look at him, an odd smile appearing on her face before she uttered, "No, I didn't say anything..."
She closed the door and walked into the hall before that odd smile faded away from her rosy lips.
