Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264: 141

Heaven froze in shock. Killed his human side? Why?

She knew about her father's death and how that changed him, but why would someone want to go through that? For what reason?

"Why?" Was all she managed to ask.

Zarin sighed and then held his hands out in a stop motion. Almost as if defending himself. "It is not that bad. It was painful, but now my demon is always there. I don't have to deal with it coming and going." He explained.

Heaven didn't know how to respond to that, but suspected that her grandfather had something to do with it and he was benefiting from this change.

She wanted to tell Zarin that he was being her grandfather's puppet, but refrained from it. She was frustrated that he was letting himself be used. She always knew that he hated responsibility and loved to live freely. But she never thought he was a stupid. He had been the smarter one when they were younger. Even when he indulged himself, he wasn't irrational.

But this time he was acting like a complete fool. Despite being fully aware that he was being used, he was letting it happen because it getting what he desired. What he didn't know was that he was losing more than what he was getting.

"Do you feel better now with your demon always present?" She asked, genuinely curious.

His eyes shifted between different emotions. They weren't like yesterday, where she could see guilt in them. Today he was different. She would sometimes see hints of guilt and other times pride or excitement. He was proud of what he had achieved and excited to show her.

"Yes." He replied.

"Are they treating you well here?" She asked.

He nodded. "Yes."

"Better than how your parents were treating you?"

He was about to put a piece of bread into his mouth when he paused and looked up at her. Her question took him by surprise, and he didn't seem to know how to reply.

"Well, I… I can't always live with my parents. I have to someday be on my own." He said.

"Then I guess you chose the right place. You will be on your own here." She told him, feeling sad for her friend.

Some kind of emotions flickered through his eyes, and his lips pressed into a thin line. At least he understood the weight of her words.

"You are here." He said, his voice low. He didn't sound confident.

"No. Only my body is here. My heart and mind will always be with my family."

He nodded with a sad smile. The conversation was only getting more awkward so Heaven decided to excuse herself and leave. "I am tired. I should go back and rest." She said, standing up.

He stood up quickly. "Do you hate me?" He blurted.

His hands were curled into fists at the side of his body as if he was angry. Heaven was taken aback by his question. "No. I don't hate you." She felt sorry for him.

Now he looked disgusted. "You are looking at me the way he did." He said.

"Who?"

"Zamiel. You pity me." He was angry now.

Heaven remained calm despite his unsettling anger.

Before this escalated into a fight, she had to leave. The anger in his gaze frightened her and before he could say something that could possibly make her hate him, she left. Things were already bad as they were. _{freёwebnoѵel.com}
