Chapter 387 Stella's grandparents
On their way to Meiya and Stella's household, mainly Alex talked, for he curiously looked around the new realm. He saw many winged people, the new architecture, which was close to Eastern Earth that used clouds presence, and the new world overall.
Many islands were floating up; some were surrounded by clouds as if this element lifted them, and some were naked.
He was interested in many stuff, wanting to become closer to his fiance's culture.
Thus, Alex asked Stella and Meiya many questions.
After a short talk and a few glances, Alex saw that Winged People liked pasta, and their specialties revolved around it. And as Alex heard that red wine was apparently good with spaghetti and more, he shifted his attention to Meiya, asking her about cuisine.
Stella also listened attentively, just so she could recall all the good stuff to reproduce on Earth for Alex and his parents.
But after a few minutes more, when Stella could see a familiar mansion on the floating island. Both spanned many kilometers, which was weird, as Alex imagined that such land would cast a vast shadow on islands below them.
That was not the case for some reason.
"I don't want to meet grandma," Stella said, recalling her grandma, which was the reason her mother could be so bold. It was not just status and wealth but also temperament that Meiya took from grandma!
The sloth girl knew what would happen soon. Her eyes narrowed, even more, her flying pace lowered, and she flew like a dead person.
"Me too. How about we let Alex deal with her?" Meiya replied with a faint smile, turning around to face Stella and Alexander.
Her wings still carried her forward! She didn't mind meeting her mother or facing her temperament. Their reunion was inevitable, so Meiya was pretty chill about it. Of course, she still prioritized her daughter's feelings.
"Ok," Stella replied without any lag behind.
It seemed like these two bet on Alex mellowing the house lady!
"Huh?" Alex was surprised to see them teaming up so fast and efficiently, agreeing on something without his word! "Your grandma shouldn't see through you, though. No way she knows that you haven't returned home all those years because you were lazy.
And is there a reason why she should be angry at Meiya? You were in a precarious situation, weren't you?" Alex asked questions that seemed obvious and with only one answer.
Yet, Meiya and Stella looked at him as if there was only an answer they knew, an absolute answer.
"Introduce yourself nicely, Alexander!" Meiya embraced her daughter from behind, taking her to their mansion. Her family had many houses and lands, so it wasn't like they had to go to the main mansion.
Stella only didn't have her place, for she was content with one room in her mother's mansion.
And in this way, Alex was left alone with directions toward the main mansion in his mind. Well, he wasn't that alone, for his black wings had been drawing the attention of every winged girl and guy.
He also didn't need a guide, for he had his eyes locked on the big mansion already, "I guess I have to introduce myself alone."
Alex peeked into his inventory. He checked the presents he had prepared to help with his introduction, then headed straight to the household of one of his wives.
Flayott Household.
No one stopped Alex.
In fact, he received a cute guide after landing in the vast mansion. She had been waiting for him, clearly listening to Meiya's orders.
She greeted him politely, her body wrapped in more robes to not tempt anyone around her, "I've been waiting for you, Mr. Alexander. Master Auberon and Madame Danielle are waiting for you as well."
"Thanks," Alex immediately replied, so the lady didn't have to bow before him. He then urged her to guide him to Meiya's parents and Stella's grandparents. In the meantime, he asked about their mood.
The answer left him quite stressed, "Master is chilling like usual, but Madame Danielle seems in volcano mode."
"Uhh..." Alex didn't know what to say, so he followed the girl.
At last, the eastern doors slid. And a few more until Alex stepped into a vast hall decorated in unique bamboo flowers. Clouds swarmed them like petals, seemingly in a perfect union.
Perhaps, those flowers produced the clouds!
But a small table and two presence sitting before it immediately drew Alex's attention, not giving him a chance to look for more. He inhaled the new and unique fragrance before taking a seat before Madam Danielle and Master Auberon.
Auberon sat cross-legged, sucking on a cigarette that formed a unique, cloud-like smoke. He also seemed to spit clouds, his eyes closed. He sat roughly with his hand on his knee, slightly humping, as if not thinking this meeting was an official one.
That was quite helpful, for a woman next to him gazed at Alex with narrowed eyes, her whole aura on a fire!
She sat elegantly with her knees tightly stuck next to each other, her back straight. She wore white robes with flowers similar to yukata, sharing some fashion sense with her husband.
Danielle's hair was tied into a bun with a phoenix's hairpin.
And that was all Alex could peek at, for the mood pressed him to talk, "Alexander Deathwill Mao. I've taken your granddaughter Stella's hand and am also a man who looks after Meiya. They are both my girls, and I will do all to keep them happy. If that's not okay with you, I'm all ears."
As those might be too shocking words, Alex quickly took out his goods.
He brought expensive coffee from Earth and even a coffee machine! Sparkling the latter with magic stone would be enough to use it!
That was currently one of Alex's advantages, for he easily could bring some products between two worlds.
"Danielle Flayott," Madame's eyes sparkled for a second as she saw new gifts, the smell of coffee assailing her nostrils as she had good senses. She still introduced herself with just her name, for her feelings vividly coursed through her.
Her husband just casually glanced over the presents, smiling and nodding in approval.
