Chapter 223: Chapter 223
Theodore felt like he forgot to breathe at this piece of information, and his heart thudded. He tried to speak something, but nothing, absolutely nothing, came out of his mouth. He wasn’t interested in knowing his father, but at the same time, he didn’t want his father to be behind his fated mate.
But then, what could be a better way to punish that Lestat than this? The moment he would come after Liara, he would kill him. But was it that easy?
Not sure.
Knowing that he was a wizard. By saying Aabra ka dabra or some spell, Lestat could do anything that he wished for.
He sensed even Liara was disturbed by this news. Well, he couldn’t blame her after all; this news was indeed shocking and unexpected, just like the news of her becoming the Moon Goddess in the absence of the real Selene herself.
He held Liara close and inhaled her scent to calm himself down. This news shouldn’t worry him, right? It wasn’t that he was in love with his so-called father. At the same time, Liara was not disturbed for herself, but she was disturbed for Theodore because she didn’t know how he would take this news. She really wanted him not to take this news in a negative way.
“Lestat is not his father, Scar,” Liara said, to which Theodore looked at her in shock, wondering how she could say this with this confidence. “No one becomes a father just because he contributed some sperm. If anyone would have played a fatherly figure in Theo’s life, then he is Uncle Ambrose.” She added.
“He stood there for Theo even when my mate didn’t ask for it. He treated him like a son, even though my mate never treated him like a father. That’s why I don’t think you should call Lestat as Theodore’s father when he didn’t contribute a second in his life as a father.”
Liara couldn’t help but think about Brandon before speaking, “A father is someone who holds you when you cry, scolds you when you break the rules, shines with pride when you succeed, has faith in you even when you fail, give advice like a friend, and protect like a bodyguard.”
Theodore looked at Liara in awe. If he wouldn’t have already been in love with her, then he would have fallen in love with her again.
He didn’t think that he had done any great work to deserve a mate like her, but still, here he was. Maybe this would be the blessing of his mother. If not for her, then he still didn’t have meaning in this life.
“Yeah, you’re right,” Scarlett said, nodding her head. “He is just a sperm donor.” She added and yawned, showing that she was tired and feeling sleepy.
“Does he know about me?” Theodore couldn’t help but ask.
“I don’t know,” Scarlett answered, shrugging his shoulder. “Also, it’s not that you’re his son. He has a lot of offspring all over the world, and just like Lee mentioned, he is not father material, so I doubt that he even cares about his sons or daughters.”
“Now excuse me, both of you!! I’m tired. We can discuss things at the breakfast table if you both stay. And as I can see, you have gate stone, So there shouldn't be any problem in spending a night here as long as you have some business at night.”
Liara felt that they should stay because she was asking again and again.
‘She might feel bad. And what can possibly go wrong in one night?’
“Okay.” Theodore agreed, thinking Liara could get a chance to have a peaceful sleep in a bed instead of on the ground.
“Perfect. Come!! I will show you your room.” Scarlett said before standing on her feet. The moment they walked out, they saw Maverick playing with a two to three months old pup. Strange that they didn’t hear a thing.
‘Witch’s magic.’ They concluded.
“She is awake,” Scarlett complained, looking at the time.
“Don’t worry. I got this.” Maverick said as if it was a cup of tea for him. “She just wants to fly in the air and play with Papa before sleeping again.” With that, he threw the pup in his hand in the air. She giggled, reaching up in the air, and smiled widely when Maverick held her carefully.
“She is?” Liara asked.
“Our daughter, Raven,” Scarlett replied, and planting a long kiss on her daughter’s cheek, she signaled them to follow her. “You can get a chance to meet all my kids tomorrow morning.”
“All my kids? How many kids do you have?”
