Chapter 1257: Grown Up... (2/2)

”I...” Niera's face became a bit pale as she shook her head, ”I will convince them. I love you all. I don't want anyone to fight.”

”But Niera... At least a dispute is inevitable. Back at the Alstreim Family, your family and mine already stood at odds once, and even though the issue is resolved, it isn't like we became friends. You wish for them to take them outside, but if I did, I would also be endangering my family. Being smart, you must've already understood that the moment you fell in love with me, right?”

Niera lightly nodded.

”I do understand, but that was when I thought that there was no way out. So what if we were at odds? I chose to love you by my own will and took a step forward in wanting to clear the differences between our families in this place as I thought of living with you for the rest of our time, but it was out of my expectations that you would say that you know a way out.”

”But... It was too late. I already believed that you were mine...” Niera's eyes turned moist as she shook her head, ”I can't go back...”

Davis's smile receded as he breathed an air of heaven and earth energy, ”Then how about you first come with me to the other side?”

”I can't... not without them...” Niera dejectedly shook her head, ”But if you leave me or betray me by lying to me all this time, I don't know what I will do...”

'That's my line...' Davis became flabbergasted before his smile returned as he shook his head.

”Fine, because of you, I'll try to take them with me on the first trip, but! It is only limited to your father and mother. Your grandfather is too powerful for me to handle...”

'Because the only way I can handle him is to kill him...' Davis inwardly mused but ended his line as he tried to convince her.

Niera looked extremely hesitant, but she also understood that Davis was troubled by it if what he was saying was true. She wanted to believe him, but if he lied by any chance, she didn't want her parents to become sacrifices for her foolishness. Her decision and the risk involved were hers to bear alone.

Thinking like this, she suddenly felt that taking her father and mother alone wasn't a wise decision.

Niera stared at his sapphire eyes as her purple eyes became resolute, ”Fine, I will go with you to the other side alone...”

”Mhm?”

Davis felt like he couldn't believe his ears. She was quick to change her tune, but he believed that she had some reason for it. He smilingly shook his head, ”I know you want to believe me but can't. That's normal since I haven't done anything to make you believe me yet.”

Niera was quick to shake her head, ”I didn't mean to-”

Davis placed his fingers on her lips.

”I know how you feel... Don't worry as I'll take them along with you. If you're mine, they're my father-in-law and mother-in-law as well...” Davis blinked, thinking that they were already his step-grandparents while Niera was his aunt. His stepmother's little sister.

After all, Nora Alstreim was practically his father's woman. He didn't know what happened with them, but if anything didn't happen after almost a year, he would be damned.

Niera's heart relaxed as she felt moved. Those words of his were convincing somehow that she nodded her head.

Davis couldn't help but deeply smile as he raised his head and looked at the door, ”How long are you going to keep listening, father-in-law Nero Alstreim?”

”Brat! Now you've done it!”

The door was pushed open suddenly, and a white-robed figure walked in with angry strides while Niera jumped in nervousness as she stood in front of Davis as stretched her hands as if barring his path.

”Father! I can explain!”

She made Nero Alstreim stop in his tracks while his expression looked as if he had eaten shit, bitter and aggrieved.

How could his daughter be like this, taking another strange man's side? However, it quickly dawned on him.

Niera had grown up...

His expression increasingly trembled as just a while ago, he was seeing her as a little girl who should be protected. Even while teasing her or looking at her be heartbroken, he didn't realize, but when he now saw her standing up for a man like she wouldn't allow him to get past her, he took a deep breath and accepted that she finally grew up.

He raised his head and stared at the brat, who had a pleasant smile on his face that would attract and charm many women's eyes.

”Speak! What is this talk about taking us to the other side?” Nero Alstreim narrowed his eyes as his expression became solemn, ”Don't tell you spouted all this nonsense to deceive my innocent daughter because if you did... I will never forgive you...!”

He clenched his fists as flames began to vaguely conjure out from his pores.

Davis's smile became more arrogant as his lips moved, ”Obviously, I'm talking about leaving this sealed space...”

Nero Alstreim's heart skipped a beat while the flames that were about to come out disappeared. His lips trembled as he couldn't help but blurt out.

”What!?”
