Chapter 934 Memories

-----

"H-Hey what's going on in here- Eep!"

Partner was about to interrupt my kiss with Jonathan, but Emeraldine quickly dragged her away.

"Partner, let them be..."

"B-But..."

"Come on, he's one of her old loves... I knew this would eventually happen."

"Huh..."

As the two walked away, our lips slowly separated, as I hugged Jonathan and rested my head on his big, warm and muscular chest.

"I missed that kiss..." I sighed in relief.

"Me too... More than I could have ever imagined..." He said, caressing my hair.

"You didn't mind it was a bit... cold?" I asked him.

"It wasn't cold." He laughed a bit. "You think you're cold? When I hold these hands, I only sense the warmth and love of your soul."

"The warmth and love of my soul?" I wondered.

"When you express your emotions, I can sense the wavelength of your soul changing. Its temperature seems to change too, I believe." He said. "You were very warm, and you still are."

"I-I see..." I felt quite embarrassed when he said that. "I do remember hearing similar things from my other partners, Emeraldine and Lucifer are more sensitive too... They did said my insides were warm."

"Y-Your insides?!" Jonathan blushed a bit. "A-Ah, sorry... I didn't mean to overreact..."

"Hahah, it's fine. As long as you're okay sharing me with those three." I giggled. "You can kiss and love me as much as you want, and I'll also do so..."

"Mom..."

Jonathan looked at me with a rather pale expression.

"Maria..." He muttered. "I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to bring so many memories at once....!"

"No, it's fine." I smiled back, cleaning my tears. "It made me a bit sad, but I'm also happy... Happy that her memoires are back, and that... she still lives, within my heart."

"I-Is that so..." Jonathan sighed. "Well, I can tell you that, despite her attitude towards me, I always knew she was a good mother. She loved you so much that she only wanted the best for you. This was why she was so overprotective..."

"I know..." I sighed, caressing his hand. "Thank you for the memories, Jonathan... But for now, let's leave it at that! If I unravel too many too fast, I might really have a mental breakdown..."

"I understand, let's take this one step at a time." Jonathan nodded. "Let's enjoy the meal with everyone else too! Ah, your daughter's here."

"Mama, seconds!" Nyx asked, waving her hand adorably. "Oh, uncle! Are you eating that one?"

"Oh, this? You can have it if you're so hungry, little Nyx." Jonathan gently gave his skewer to her.

"Thank you uncle!" Nyx started devouring the meat as Jonathan gently patted her head.

"You're such an adorable little lady. You really are like your mom, haha." Jonathan giggled.

"Really?!" Nyx asked. "Daddy told me you knew mom when she wasn't a ghost! How was she back then?!"

"Oh, well, not so different!" Jonathan said. "But she was indeed a bit clumsier, perhaps..."

"Oooh! Was she a little girl like me?" Nyx asked.

"N-Not that young..." Laughed Jonathan. "But we were both young lads, living our lives and all... I'll tell you a bit, yeah."

Jonathan was dealing surprisingly well with my little Nyx.
