Chapter 1435 - What's On The Table?
"Just leave it to me! I will help Sophie without fail!" Natalya smiled as she uttered confidently.
Sophie still looked dumbfounded. She then shook her head and opened her mouth.
"No..."
Davis blinked, "What? You believe Natalya got your back, right?
"I do... but, this...? This resource is too valuable. We wouldn’t even find a resource like this in this place. I can’t take it..." Sophie shook her head, walking towards him, intending to give it back.
"Stop, it’s a gift from Shirley to you." Davis raised his hand, causing Sophie to stop.
"Shirley...?"
Davis’s lips widened into a smile, "For those of you who don’t know her, she is-"
"She would’ve been his first wife if I hadn’t taken him from her..." Evelynn shortened it as she spoke with a red hue on her cheeks.
"False," Davis shook his head, "We mutually severed our marriage agreement made by our parents years ago, but we later made up like a month ago in the Burning Phoenix Ridge Territory. Even I tore the marriage agreement that I had with Evelynn in front of her entire family and took her away because I didn’t particularly appreciate having relations with those opportunistic and greedy people. Hehe..."
"Waaa~"
The other three were taken over by curiosity to hear their past and felt a bit awed even.
Tore the marriage agreement both times made between two families, but he still had the women to himself?
’What a man...!’
They couldn’t help but inwardly scream at his savageness.
"Still, I have never met Shirley before..."
Sophie looked reluctant. This resource was not even Davis’s, so she felt even more disinclined to take it.
"How could I-"
"I said the same thing to Shirley, that she did not owe you all anything, and she said that she is going to be sisters with you all but couldn’t come because she is a bit busy in the Burning Phoenix Ridge. So now, if you reject this gift, it means that you reject her goodwill and her position in our family..." Davis deeply smiled as he shrugged.
"..."
"Well, if you still don’t want it, I will be sure to tell Shirley that Sophie decli-"
"Ahh! I understand...! I won’t refuse the gift anymore...!"
"Obediently take what our man gives you, or he will bully you into taking it~" Natalya giggled.
"That’s right." Fiora giggled as she spoke about her experience, "Davis keeps moving us to tears like this, as he just said a while ago, so be prepared to shed a river of joyful tears since you decided to become his woman..."
"It doesn’t matter if you aren’t able to create a Perfect Domain. Husband’s love towards you wouldn’t change just because you achieved something greater or lesser because Isabella and Shirley are definitely capable of achieving more than us, but they are still given the same importance as us...!"
Evelynn patted Sophie’s back, cheering her up.
Davis blinked, "Are you not going to ask me to marry you...?"
"You will... I know it’s just not now, but it would be later... Besides, you have so many women to marry that I understand you have your own troubles..."
Davis blinked, but he smiled, looking satisfied with her reply.
It was just like the matter with Niera, not to mention Fiora.
Fiora’s parents didn’t even ask him to marry her, but perhaps, they would ask later. It was just, they were expecting him to say it from his side, but then, he possibly couldn’t at this moment as he already had his determination to go back and marry Isabella. So, they all didn’t know that he kept her waiting for far too long.
Therefore, he felt that even fixing dates for marriage with other women was inappropriate, which was also why he hadn’t spoken about it with them.
Davis separated from her as he patted her head, "Well, you’re right about that. I have my own troubles, like now where I would should probably go meet Ancestor Dian Alstreim. But, I shouldn’t probably keep them waiting for too long, lest they think that I’m intentionally disrespectful again."
"What!? Then you should go...!" Sophie panicked, "Don’t care about me...!"
Davis chuckled, "Sophie, I didn’t say this for you to send me off..."
"No...!" Sophie ran around and began to push him towards the exit, "Off you go...! You have more important matters to attend...!"
"Sophie, you’re already bossing me around...?"
"Ah... I didn’t mean to...!"
Sophie took her hands away, still panicking, except now she felt that she had done something terrible.
Davis turned around and looked at her face. Her innocent reaction was all the more something that made it worthwhile for him to love her. She was just too cute!
He reached out his hands and pulled her into an embrace before he kissed her once again. Again, it was a gentle kiss.
"You’re more important to me, though..." Davis smiled as he hit forehead with his, looking into her eyes, "However, I’ll listen to my good wife, no?"
Sophie’s face turned beet red from all his teasing. However, she still nodded her head, wanting him to go.
Davis widely smiled as he shook her hair, "Then take care! I’ll be off!"
"Mhm..."
Davis and Sophie exited the garden room while Nadia and Eldia entered his soul sea and dantian respectfully. He made his way towards Silverwind’s Palace but noticing that Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow were not there, he headed towards the Ancestral Hall where he found them.
"Ancestor, so what’s on the table?"
Davis asked with curiosity. It was rather rare that they would come to his place together to talk about something.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim pondered for a moment before he narrowed his eyes.
"To start, the Forsaken Phoenix Realm’s secret entrance is opening next year. Do you want me to send young ones to vainly die in your people’s hands or have them pull back altogether? But the latter might invite suspicion if we suddenly pull back..."
Davis blinked.
Was it already going to be fifteen years since he first entered the Fifty-Two Territories?
’Woah, time sure does fly fast...’
Numerous memories rushed back to this mind, making him feel nostalgic. He was nothing but an eleven-year-old when he had entered, but he was now twenty-five and a half! It was almost going to be fifteen years from that time!
