Chapter 622 Not confused

An hour later...

Step! Step! Step!

Sound of distant footsteps roused Riva from her thoughts. She raised her head and looked blankly in the direction the sound was coming from.

Soon, she saw Max and Sera appear in her vision.

Immediately, her blank and dispirited gaze became one full of shock. It was as if she had seen something incredible. Which, indeed, was the case.

She rubbed her eyes, and looked again, only to see the same scene of a grinning Max holding the hand of a blushing Sera, who had her head lowered.

Watching this scene, an uncomfortable feeling arose in her heart.

'Don't tell me... my innocent Sera fell in this cunning bastard's trap?''

'No, it can't be. They just had...' She wanted to deny the possibility but remembered how special the first time for a girl was supposed to be. How vulnerable they would feel after their first time, especially if the said girl had done it due to pressure? 'This bastard must have exploited her vulnerability by saying some honeyed words.' She gnashed her teeth.

She wanted to rush over and slap him away or at the very least, force him to let go of her hand. But after a moment of hesitation, she just sighed.

From her experience, she knew if she said or did anything to Max now, Sera would definitely defend him. Since she didn't want to sour her relationship with her, she chose to suppress her rage. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

'I'll talk to her when he goes to heal Sophie.'

Thinking this, she coughed to attract their attention. Sera was shy enough to not flaunt her relationship in front of others, especially her motherly figure, Elder Riva. Therefore, when she realized Riva could see them, she became flustered and wanted to release his hand, but Max grinned at her and tightened his grip instead.

She gave him a cute resentful look, her face flushing red. She then ducked her head even further down, her chin touching her chest.

Riva had obviously noticed this and her gaze became colder as she looked at Max and said, "You've boosted your bloodline energy, right?"

"You think, or are you sure?" Riva asked, hoping it was the former.

Unfortunately for her, Sera nodded, "I'm sure. I... love him."

Riva finally couldn't stop herself from rubbing her forehead while her expression turned ugly, "What about him? What did he say?"

"He confessed he also loves me." As Sera said this, a blessed smile appeared on her face.

"Sera... do you really believe that? You guys were complete strangers until an hour ago. How can you fall in love with him? It must be just your hormones. After you calmly think for a while–"

Sera cut her off and firmly said, "No, Elder Riva. It's not my hormones acting up nor I'm confused."

"I understand it must be difficult to believe since just as you said, we were complete strangers until a while ago. But we are really in love now."

Ha!

Riva let out an exasperated sigh before asking. "Did he tell you about his other women? Just before he came to our family, he was with a woman, who has also followed him here. And given how lascivious he is, she definitely isn't the only woman he has relations with."

"He didn't hide anything and told me all about it. I know he has multiple women, six, no five because the woman he was with earlier isn't his woman... yet." Sera said. Riva looked at Sera in disbelief, "You... you are comfortable sharing your man with other women?"

"I'm not." Sera honestly said. Before Riva could say anything, she continued, "But It doesn't matter as long as he loves me and I love him."

Seeing Riva had something more to say, Sera changed the topic with a relieved and happy smile on her face, "I have a very good news, Elder Riva."

"What is it?" Riva asked, closing her eyes. She could see Sera didn't want her to object, so she reluctantly dropped the topic but secretly vowed to herself that if he made her unhappy, she would make him regret it.

Then she heard Sera's next words, and her eyes snapped wide open.

She seemed to forget everything, her mind going blank as she looked at Sera incredulously and in a trembling voice, she asked.

"You... What did you just say?"
