Chapter 1014 A Home Is Not A Place

1014 A Home Is Not A Place

Raphael didn't stay for much longer after dinner. He decided to return to Ashland to see Rowena and told her his findings. They were not pleasant, but he thought she needed to know the truth.

Raphael used a portal closest to the royal palace and flew toward their bedroom on the third floor of the main tower. It was really late at night and he expected Rowena was already asleep. He was right. The woman was sleeping on their bed on the side that he used to sleep on.

A small smile curved up on Raphael's face as he realized Rowena must be missing him that she decided to sleep on his side of the bed tonight.

Slowly and without a sound, Raphael entered through the open window and landed on the floor. He walked toward his wife and gently touched her hair. He stood there, watching her sleeping for a good while, and then looked away toward the full moon in the night sky.

Would Rowena be happy in Cretea? She had no one there but him. Raphael thought it would be difficult for her to make new friends because everyone already knew everyone for a long time already and it must be hard to accept the presence of new people.

There had not been a new resident in Cretea for as long as he remembered. Some gods loved fooling around but almost none of them marry creatures from other realms and brought them to Cretea.

Raphael thought maybe Heron was the last one. If only Rowena could have children, she wouldn't be so lonely in their new home. She could keep herself busy and enjoy her time raising their children.

However, now all that was just wishful thinking. Raphael didn't want her life to revolve only around him and she couldn't have a life of her own. She would not be happy.

Should they refuse the invitation to go back to Cretea? Perhaps... they could just live freely across the seven realms and go on an endless adventure together. He wouldn't mind that. If they could stay together and find something to do, it was enough. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

Raphael learned this important thing once in the past and he truly agreed with it. In order to be happy and have a fulfilled life, one must have someone to love, something to do, and something to look forward to.

He lowered his gaze from the moon and immediately realized Rowena was awake. The woman had opened her eyes and looked at him with a smile. Her expression looked sleepy but she was happy.

Raphael nodded.

"What about your mother?"

"She did too," said Raphael. "They both wanted us to go home."

Rowena suddenly sat up. She looked at him with a surprised expression. "They were not mad at you for stealing the immortality potion?"

Raphael sat up too and held her hands. "No. Apparently not. So... what say you? Do you want to go home to Cretea with me? I don't mind living anywhere in the seven realms as long as it's with you."

Rowena looked at the man, feeling so touched. She said softly, "Cretea is your home... So, we should go back."

She thought he had done a lot for her in the past ten years. He tried to live among regular humans who were not his kind. Raphael had to hold back so much when he was around them. Rowena thought her husband would be happier if he could live among his people.

So, of course, without hesitation, she said they had to go back. Raphael needed to be with his friends and family.

Rowena didn't have anyone here. Nobody would miss her and she didn't lose out on anything to leave this world behind.

"Rowena, a home is not a place, but a person," said Raphael with a smile. "My home is NOT Cretea but you. So, wherever you choose to live, that's where I'll be. DON'T CHOOSE for me, but for you."

I think Raphael and Rowena deserve to have a family they desire, don't you think? Once Raphael meets Rowena again as Harlow, they could live happily ever after and have as many kids as they want.
