Chapter 1269: Burning Face (1/2)

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, rape?

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.
