Chapter 138: Bond of the family

He doubted that to be true, if he was really that strong then he wouldn't have to suffer for all his life.

'Let's forget about all this now. I have yet to uncover many hidden things about me, but for now... let's spend a quiet time with my family.'

*Knock* * Knock*

He knocked on the door and called for Seraphina.

"Mother, if you are done with your discussions then come out now, the breakfast is ready."

Immediately after he said that, the door opened and Seraphina greeted Evan with her charming smile and said,

"You couldn't stay even a few hours without your wife?"

She then looked at the direction of Anna and hummed mischievously.

"So she is my daughter in law? You worked really quick, first it was mother and now daughter too. Sigh, it could have been us mother and daughter if someone wasn't so stubborn."

She shook her head and gave a side look to Nova.

Evan was surprised about Seraphina knowing his relationship with Anna, he knew that he can't hide it form her and there wasn't a point in hiding it from her. Sёarᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Don't worry, mother. It will happen soon. For now, let's go and eat together."

He said and all of them headed together towards the kitchen where Mizuki and Lyra were waiting for them with all the dishes served on the table. They also picked up Celestina who was still cultivating in the training hall.

"You are finally here. We have been waiting for a while now, big brother."

"Sorry to make you wait."

He said and took his seat at the centre of the dining table. Seraphina sat on his right and Nova on his left.

Lyra was sitting at the opposite of Evan and Celestina by her left. Mizuki sat on her right and Anna sat beside her.

They both looked normal as if nothing has happened among them at all.

'Being together like this... this feeling inside me, might be what I was longing for my entire life.'

Evan thought when he looked at all of them.

'I will go to any length to protect this family of mine. Gods, demons, tower...? I do not care what I have to face, I will protect them all always.'

Evan swore in his heart, no matter what, he will do anything for them.

"Let's eat now, everyone." Evan said that and picked up the spoon on the table and scooped up the curry and put it in his mouth.

The sour taste along with the spices that exploded inside his mouth, he himself couldn't believe how cooking.

'This tastes even better than before. Must be because of the quality of the vegetables.'

Everyone else also began to eat their food. As Evan was about to take another scoop from his curry, Seraphina scooped it from her plate and offered it to Evan.

"Say ah..."

She waited patiently for Evan to open his mouth.

Nova also did the same and followed by Lyra, Celestina, Mizuki and Anna.

"Eat mine too..."

"Husband..."

"Here as well, daddy..."

Evan watched blankly at the seven spoons that were before him. But his heart was filled with warmth that made him smile unconsciously.

Everyone patiently waited for him to eat from their spoon and Evan didn't make them wait any longer.

One by one he ate from all of their spoons and at last as he was about to eat from Lyra's spoon, he teasingly asked her,

"Do you want me to eat from yours too? You might not have enough for yourself."

Lyra eyed on her food and her mouth became watery. She gulped down and closed her eyes, and thought,

'I can't compete with them if I became stingy with a little food... but it smells so good...'

She stiffened herself and decided to not be greedy for a little food.

"It's just one scoop, it won't matter much."

But Evan immediately realized that wasn't the case at all. But he still opened his mouth and savoured her curry.

She licked her lips seeing Evan eat her food and then glanced at her plate, which looked perfect at first but now was missing a part of it.

'Why does it look like it's half empty?'

Just a little less food made her feel like her plate was already half empty now.

Evan saw this and scooped his food to offer it to her.

Lyra raised her head and looked at the delicious food infornt of her, it's aroma filled her nose.

"Can I?" She asked eying the food infornt of her.

Evan couldn't help but chuckle at this and said,

"Of course."

Lyra didn't wait for a single second and gulped it down. The food made her to reach a ultimate sensation of bliss and she felt full.

Everyone else didn't mind that and didn't ask for Evan to feed them. Beside Mizuki, everyone else knew how much of a foodie Lyra is.

They all then began to eat and Evan did the same. After a while of having their meal, Seraphina beside Evan opened her mouth.

"This is really good. I hate to admit it, but it is better than my cooking."

"You cooking isn't even better than mine, mother." Nova retorted hearing her.

"Hmph, you burned down the entire kitchen when you were cooking once."

"That was my first time cooking with the manual, they didn't give me proper instructions."

"Still, I have never done something like that. Mine food is always good."

"You forget to add salt everytime."

"Don't fight now you two. It was Mizuki who made this, she cooks really well, doesn't she?"

Evan intervened seeing the matter getting out of hand. Though, Seraphina is a good cook, but it was true that she doesn't add salt or any spices when cooking.

"Umm, it's better than certain someone's cooking. It's cooked perfectly not burned."

"Hmm, it has proper taste not bland like someone's else cooking."

Evan sighed and didn't continue any longer. They have always been like that fighting constantly. Even he doesn't know the reason behind it. Because they fight all the time and always compete with each other, Nova decided to go the academy.

They finally calmed down and after a while, Seraphina spoke again.

"Do you have the direction of where we should be heading to? We should move sooner now."
