Davis became stunned.
"At that time, I didn’t pay it any heed, but..." Princess Isabella continued with a pause.
"Combined with the serious words that you once said before, that you had your eyes on me from when you were five years old and mentioned that you weren’t joking, and even told that you have more secrets than I know...
"I foolishly made some sense of it and thought that you have a disproportionate soul age..."
Princess Isabella paused again before she hesitantly asked, "Are you perhaps not the real Davis and someone who... possessed this body?"
Davis had his eyes wide as he listened to her, and when he heard her last sentence, his mouth went agape.
Looking at his reaction, Princess Isabella knew that she was spot on! She instantly panicked but tried to calm him down instead.
"No... I... If you have possessed this body from its birth, I can understand... You still love your family and your wives... I... I..." Princess Isabella tried, but no words came to her mind.
Her expression became helpless, wondering why she had to reveal this... She cursed that she should have just kept this to herself, but she just had to say it and make things worse between them.
She was afraid, not of her life, but the feelings that she had already invested with this person and the intimacy they exchanged would be shattered with this revelation. Even if she were to come out of this relationship, it was too late!
She had already decided to become this person’s woman! If she rejected, her conviction and the heart to cultivate would be shattered, giving her an almost unresolvable heart demon!
This was also the reason why cultivators kept themselves from falling in love and instead treated the opposite sex as use and throw objects. The knot of betrayal from a loved one is equal to a stab in the back that would mostly ruin a person’s will.
Davis looked at her as if he was looking at a goddess.
With just those two flimsy points and one strong point, she managed to find out that he wasn’t the real Davis?
He looked at her with a speechless expression on his face.
Was it her intelligence or intuition? He didn’t know but was in awe of her deduction.
"So, this is the reason you were feeling insecure..."
The feeling of bitterness disappeared, only to be replaced by understanding.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
Davis finally understood before his expression became solemn, "Now that you know of it..."
He paused and looked at her reaction.
However, she was in no shape or mindset to blush. She silently looked at Davis, feeling confused if what he all said was true.
Davis noticed her reaction and merely smiled, "You can ask Evelynn if you want... She’s the one who knows the most about me other than my little sister Clara. I believe that Evelynn will provide a satisfactory explanation to prove my innocence..."
Princess Isabella stood there stunned, not knowing what to say. This all felt a bit surreal as even she didn’t think her deduction was true. She just felt his existence to be a little strange, and it constantly stayed on her mind, but never did she think that her deduction was near to the truth.
She remained speechless.
Asking Evelynn would say that she didn’t believe his words, but if she didn’t ask, she could in no way verify his words.
"You want to believe but can’t bring yourself to believe, is that it?" Davis smiled without an iota of hard feelings, "It’s common..."
Evelynn felt the same in the past when he revealed his true past. He felt that even Natalya would start to question him if he revealed his backstory.
Their doubt and suspicion regarding who he truly was remained justified and was their right!
In any case, he already knew trust and suspicion were part and parcel of relationships, and his intimate relationships grew from two to three. He was prepared to face all scrutiny from his wives since he was the one taking advantage of their feelings.
Princess Isabella bit her bottom lip, "I..."
She didn’t know what to say so she could only nod her head, feeling complicated.
Davis shook his head as he suppressed his anger, "But for that stupid Earth Dragon Immortal to mention that I am ’archaic’, does it even know that I’m only thirty years older than my current age? Hmph!"
Princess Isabella became stunned once again. She instantly came out of her reverie and asked, "Your soul is only thirty years older than your current age?"
"Approximately..." Davis nodded his head, feeling unjustified.
That stupid Earth Dragon Immortal just had to interfere in the affairs of the young ones. Although he could see that the Earth Dragon Immortal warned her out of good intentions, it might’ve backfired on him if Princess Isabella misinterpreted.
"That..." Princess Isabella’s eyelids quivered, "That means that you’re around my age in truth!?"
Davis became taken aback before he nodded his head, "I guess so..."
Then he watched Princess Isabella’s face abruptly blossom into a smile. He blinked and could tell that his age somewhat weighed in her mind.
’Women do indeed concern themselves with the strangest facts...’ He became speechless.
So what if he was lesser in age than her? To him, it only mattered if the other party was a consenting adult or not!
