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

Did she say something wrong or interrupt their romantic moment as they were looking at each other?

Davis couldn't help smilingly shake his head. This girl, no, this woman had dared to give her innocence once to him to help save her elder sister from a crisis, but here she was, asking that they should play something else instead of board games.

He couldn't help but feel that she was adorable, finding her cute.

Did her confused mind not think that they could be here to be intimate? Or did she eliminate that option knowing they wouldn't do something like that while she was here?

His lips moved, ”Natalya, tell your little sister about what you told me...”

Natalya pursed her lips before she nodded her head amidst Fiora's confused gaze. However, before she said anything, she secretly locked the door with her icy concealment arts as the key-rock flew, embedding itself on the door before locking it. It then disappeared somewhere else.

Davis couldn't help but imperceptibly nod in approval when he saw that, but Fiora was none the wiser. She didn't know that the door was locked and remained curious as well as confused.

”Fiora...” Natalya spoke, ”I told my husband about the feelings you hold towards him. I brought you here to bring a conclusion to that matter.”

Fiora's expression froze. The temperature around her that she felt dropped even more, but that was just her delusion as the temperature remained the same, cold as it was before. She began slightly shivering under both their gaze.

”What are you saying, elder sister...?”

Fiora tried to smile, but her cheeks betrayed her as they twitched, ”You're teasing me, right?”

Natalya shook her head, ”Enough, Fiora. You didn't say anything to me about my husband after we last talked about him in Ethren City. However, I took it as my responsibility to tell him about your true feelings. Otherwise, I fear that you might do something worse than me.”

”W-What? I have no such-”

”At the present, I have already confirmed that you still have feelings towards him. Actually, I could feel that it had gotten stronger when I saw you make yourself small in front of him, even becoming shyer. You were not like that before, but now, you're acting as if you had seen your idol.”

Fiora looked as if she was about to cry as her eyes became moist, ”Elder sister, stop...”

”No, you stop hiding your feelings.” Natalya trembled, ”I can't bear to see you saddened.”

”...”

Davis looked at them, feeling although it was short, the feelings that crashed were intense as they could be. Perhaps, Fiora didn't have the courage to tell him her love for him. No, he knew that she was a brave girl who ventured out to save her elder sister over the back of her parents. She's a courageous soul.

However, no matter what, the man she came to like, the man she fell in love with was her elder sister's husband. That probably put a stop to her thoughts in wanting to tell him her true feelings because it was considered immoral in some cases. However, it wasn't rare to see a man marry two sisters in the cultivation world, so it was pretty much acceptable, so he felt that Fiora and Natalya could cross it.

Regardless...

”I have certainly heard about your feelings from Natalya. You know, she even went as far as let me know about your feelings, knowing that it might inadvertently affect our relationship in a bad way. I'm rather interested to see your response after all this mess.”

Davis indifferently uttered as if he held no emotions towards Fiora.

”Brother-in-law... I...” Fiora shook, feeling pressured.

”You still dare to call me brother-in-law? Is this the kind of feelings you should have towards your brother-in-law?” Davis's voice became solemn as if he berating.

”I... I'm sorry for being a bad woman...” Fiora lowered her head as tears fell plunged towards the surface.

These words, these words were precisely the reason why she didn't want Davis to know about her feelings. Falling in love can't be helped, but since the person she fell in love with was her brother-in-law, it couldn't be helped that the other party would be sickened at her.

It was over as she felt like she could never raise her head again in front of her brother-in-law.

Natalya shook on seeing her little sister cry, but she didn't say anything, hardening her heart.

”Bad? That's debatable but if you have those feelings like love towards me, stop addressing me that way. Call me by my name, Fiora.”

Fiora shook as she raised her head, looking at Davis in disbelief.

Those words, what did it mean!?
