Chapter 1281: What Did It Mean? (1/2)

Davis and the others headed back to Natalya's room. The floor above was where Edgar Alstreim and his family lived for safety purposes, and it seemed that they already knew about Claire being pregnant since he knew with the Solitary Soul Avatar's sense that the only one to enter Claire's abode in the past year was Edgar Alstreim.

His mother also seemed to want them here, so he didn't say anything to it. Moreover, it would be easier for him to protect them if someone targeted them.

Davis was traversing the floor when he suddenly saw a small figure pass by. However, that small figure was no longer small but a bit grown-up than he had last seen. He blinked before his expression became fairly astonished.

”Tia, it's been a long time since I've seen you...”

Tia jumped and shivered as she became stiff like a cat whose tail had been stepped before she turned back to look. Her facial features became more refined and elegant to Davis and the others.

A beautiful face that could also be called charming and sweet. Her blonde hair was braided over her head before the hair above her nape was not tied down, letting it free fall almost till her waist. Her purple eyes shone like a gem that instantly attracted all of their attention.

”How cute...” Evelynn couldn't help but giggle before she took a step forward.

”Ah!~”

However, Tia scampered to run away as she let out an endangered squeal.

Evelynn's lips twitched as she saw her escape, the smile on her face freezing solid.

”Am I that scary?”

Davis couldn't help but chuckle as he consoled.

”Don't feel bad, Evelynn. Tia is a shy girl. She probably got startled and nervous of seeing four of us.”

Evelynn smilingly shook her head before they didn't bother about the little Tia who had escaped. They soon arrived before Natalya's living space, all the while Fiora followed them while remaining silent and obedient. None of them talked, forming a solemn atmosphere that inwardly frightened her for some reason.

It made her feel that Davis might've already known about her thoughts. Nevertheless, it was just a short walk that those feelings quickly faded away as Natalya smiled at her, looking kind of happy. Once they reached Natalya's room, Evelynn suddenly spoke.

”Husband, I just remembered that I have some things to take care of, so I'm afraid that I would not be able to enjoy this time of leisure with you.”

Davis blinked as he looked at her before he understood, ”Alright, take care of yourself. Hopefully, I won't be away for long...”

Evelynn gently smiled, but she pursed her lips before she tip-toed and planted a lovable kiss on his lips before smiling, ”I'll see you later then...”

She turned around and left.

Fiora blushed as she saw them kiss, but when she glanced at her elder sister that she looked heartened and content, she could not believe her own eyes. That adamant elder sister was really okay with sharing her man with a woman. She knew of it before but to see it with her own eyes made her deeply realize that.

”Let's go in, Natalya...”

Natalya nodded as she used her key, which in the form of a stone, to unlock the door open. As they entered, an icy feeling became apparent to Fiora as she began to feel colder. They walked inside before she saw that the room was decorated with plenty of items, statues, and other materials that seemed to be made from yin-attributed and ice-attributed materials.

To Davis and Evelynn, who entered before, it wasn't even worth mentioning as these items were the same as not being there as the chillness didn't affect their bodies, but for Fiora, her Body Tempering Cultivation was low, and her Essence Gathering Cultivation was also not up to par to defend against the chillness.

However, that didn't mean that it was harmful to her. She just felt the chill more clearly that she couldn't help but wrap herself in an embrace. In addition to feeling herself warming up, she couldn't help but feel odd.

Why was she in her elder sister's room when they were about to spend time in leisure when they should be outside, roaming the city and the skies?

'Could it be... a board game again...?' Fiora couldn't help but feel bored just at the thought of it.

Once they arrived inside, Davis and Natalya looked at each other.

”Natalya, your big sister is so considerate...”

”Mhm... This is why I love big sister... She's so sweet and understanding of us...”

They exchanged soul transmissions, both knowing that she left to give Fiora some space to breathe. With Natalya, it might still be fine, but with Evelynn there, Fiora would inevitably be scared and wouldn't know how to better articulate her thoughts.

”Brother-in-law, what are we going to play? Please, I'm sick of board games...” Fiora suddenly uttered, causing both of them to turn their heads towards her.

”...” She blinked.
