Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240: 117:

"The best way out is always through." -Robert Frost.

***************************

"Why are you crying?" He asked when she couldn't stop the tears from leaving her eyes.

"I… I have to go." She sobbed. "I can't stay with you. I can't stay here." She let it out. She had been trying to find the right moment or the right way to say it but there was no such thing.

He didn't seem surprised. It was almost as if he was expecting it to happen.

"You don't have to go. You know I would go through the same pain again just to be with you." He spoke calmly.

Heaven stood up and took a step back. "But I can't go through the same pain again." She cried. "I am not that strong."

"So you will just leave?" He asked.

"Yes!" She almost yelled. "I want to leave. I am tired of this." She fought back the tears, but they fought against her, forcing their way out.

There was so much buildup of anger and frustration inside of her that was pushing its way out.

"I don't want to be here. I can't find peace here, and people will never accept me as a ruler. In fact, I don't even want to be one. I just want to live a peaceful life and with grandpa I can do that. I can live freely and not have to hide that I am a demon."

Now she was just spitting lies, but who was she lying to? Zamiel certainly didn't believe her.

She continued, as if trying to convince him. "All I have done is worry and cry. That is not how I want to live. I want to be happy. In grandpa's kingdom I don't have to worry about being a royalty and doing my duties. I will be free from all of that. I will make new friends and go wherever I want and do whatever I want. That is how I want to live."

"Would living like that make you happy?" He asked.

"Yes!" She held her chin up.

"Then you shouldn't be crying while pursuing your happiness."

"I am only crying because I am tired." She said. That wasn't a complete lie.

Zamiel remained calm the whole time. She couldn't tell what he was thinking or feeling. Then he stood up from his seat and walked up to her.

"What if I still tell you not to go?" He asked.

"You told me once I could decide. You told me you would let me go if I wanted to go."

He grabbed her jaw gently. "I did. But I don't think you understood what I meant. I would let you go if you found happiness somewhere else or with someone else. You are not convincing me right now."

"I will be happy with grandpa." She insisted. "I can be a ruler there without trying."

Zamiel dropped his hand. "Alright. You can leave if you want to leave." He said.

What?

Did she hear him correctly? She blinked a few times in surprise, and then stared at him.

"You will let me leave?" She asked.

He shrugged. "I can't force you to stay. If it makes you happy to leave, then I want you to be happy."

No! He was not supposed to be nice to her. If she didn't know him better she would think he was trying to make her feel guilty, but there was something else going on with him. He wouldn't just let her go. Would he ?

What was he trying to do?

"Do you mean it?" She asked.

He caressed her cheek and wiped some tears along the way. "Yes."

He chuckled. "You are the one leaving." He reminded. _{freёwebnovel.com}
