Chapter 102 Depressed David!

Chapter 102 Depressed David!

"Of course, there is a chance that the Crown Prince likes Alicia, but let's opt out of that possibility for now. Since Alicia was just a child back then." ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

"Now what else in Alicia can interest them, which is somehow also related to Aunt Maria's death?"

When Luis asked this question, everyone became thoughtful. They all knew the seriousness of this matter. Although whatever conclusion they came to would be based on just some assumptions, they were certain that this would be an important start in exploring all the truths.

While everyone was contemplating, Luis glanced at Alicia and said inwardly, 'Although, I said that the Crown Prince wouldn't have been interested in her child self. But I am certain that the Loli Alicia would have been cute too.'

Just imagining it, Luis became interested. 'Should I ask for her childhood pictures later?'

'Hiss! What am I thinking?! Calm down, Luis!'

Luis sucked in a cold breath and looked at Alicia in grievance while shouting inwardly, 'Someone help! This Charm demoness is corrupting my mind!'

Alicia, who was thoughtful, became confused since she felt that Luis had shown an angry expression just now. 'Was that my imagination?' Shaking her head, she didn't think much about it.

Ronald glanced at Alicia thoughtfully and murmured, "Something in Alicia which is related to Maria... Hmm... What did she get from her?"

"She inherited her beauty for sure... since David doesn't have much to go for with his looks."

David was in a daze-like state and didn't even have the mental strength to retort. In his mind, he has been constantly thinking about everything Luis has pointed out.

Ignoring him, Ronald continued his mumbling. "She has the same element as her... I have to say she inherited her excellent genes."

Lumine looked at Ronald speechlessly, thinking her gene-obsessed husband once again went back to that topic. She was about to sigh. When suddenly.

"!"

Her eyes shifted from Ronald to Luis, and realizing something, she immediately said.

"Oww! Ouch! What was that for?!" Ronald frowned at Lumine, wondering why she pinched his waist so hard.

Lumine ignored his complaints and pointed sideways.

Though confused, Ronald still turned to look in the direction she was pointing. Then he was shocked to see that David's condition was very bad at that moment.

His face was very pale, as if he had lost all his blood. His eyes were hollow, staring at the floor without emotion.

When they discussed the past, he started remembering all his happy moments with his wife, but as he remembered her smile, his heart started aching, thinking that he didn't really know anything about her.

"Was I not a qualified husband for her?!" He mumbled in confusion.

Just thinking that he didn't know anything about his wife's troubles and burdens even after her death, David couldn't help but fall into self-blame and loathe himself for not caring for her enough.

Everyone in the room could see the changes in David's expression and pretty much guess his mentality.

Ronald felt sad looking at his friend's depressed state, but he couldn't find any words to comfort him. His pleading eyes turned to look at Lumine, hoping she could help.

Lumine nodded at Ronald and then looked at David and said, "David, you don't have to blame yourself. Maria was really happy with you. She loved you a lot."

David's sad eyes turned to look at Lumine as he asked self-depreciatingly, "Then why did she hide her troubles from me? Did she give up on her wishes because of me? Or she couldn't trust me enough? Maybe we could have found a way together and solve everything."

When David asked those questions, Lumine couldn't say anything, so she pursed her lips and looked at him sadly.

Luis wasn't sure if he was in any position to comfort his father-in-law but when he saw Alicia, who was looking at her father with concern. He bit his lips, then stepped forward with a sigh.

'Luis?' Alicia was about to say something, but when she saw Luis stepping forward, she stopped.

By this time, Alicia wasn't aware, but subconsciously she had started to depend on Luis. He had become a person whom she could trust and rely on with all her heart.

There was a firm belief in her heart that Luis might be able to help her dad out of his depression.
