Chapter 961: A Surprise Visit

Rowena let out a deep and shaky breath as she stared at the sleeping for that she spoke too much

Even if Raphael was asleep, she normally wouldn't speak tooshe kept privately to herself Without another word, she spun around and hurried out of the hut

Rowena immediately plopped down on the front porch and buried her face in her handsShe tried to clear her head and eventually chose to look up at the night sky

Meanwhile, back in Rowena's roo for a short while

He heard the confession, heard the truth about why Roas pushi+ng hireed with it

She was right He wouldn't always be with her, so the fact that he kept insisting to be here in the hut was actually a weight on Rowena's shoulders

As he was deep in thoughts about what he had just heard, Raphael thought he heard her cry–and that alarmed him The man pulled up to his feet and quickly headed out of the room

"Rowena?" he called out

He needed to converse with Rowena, maybe comfort her and even adize forher feel burdened with his presence They needed to talk about this He didn't want her to feel sad

However, when he reached the living room, he stopped The door was left ajar so he could see Rowena seated by the porch

She already blinked back her tears and was focused on the stars She looked much better than when she first woke upIf Raphael took a step towards the door and spoke with her noould happen?

The usually self-assured ice prince hesitated for the first timeIt was a delicate situation

He stood in silence, watching her fro vulnerable and scared that she would have to grieve again when he finally left That made hi

He only knew that he felt indebted to her, and over tiht he liked her But then, what?

He was very young for an immortal standard and he had never been in love So, Raphael was not sure if he wanted to bind himself in a relationshi+p, especially with a mortal

He could wait for a thousand years and still didn't find a woman to anchor his heart and that's fine, but she didn't have a thousand years Perhaps, only several decades before her clock was ticking so hard and then finally stop

Raphael sighed and wondered what he should do He realized this was soer he stayed, the more she would be attached to hio

The question was on hihout her lifetime, or not? Because if he couldn't see a future with her, then he should just go

The sooner the betterHowever, how could he leave her in this situation?

Raphael took a deep breath and stepped forward towards the door–but a burst of ic suddenly burst forth and revealed a portal

Prince Jadeith step

ped forward and regally inclined his head in greeting to the Prince of Cretea before turning to his niece "It's been awhile, dear niece How are you faring?"
