Chapter 2752 Overwhelmed (Part 2)

"Really." Lith nodded. "Valeron is innocent. He's a piece of Thrud, sure, but he's also as untainted from his mother's crimes as Elysia is from my mistakes. Neither Phloria nor Jormun would want me to take it on a child.

"Besides, how can I ask people to not blame our daughter for what I did if I'm the first one to hold Valeron accountable for his mother's madness?"

"What would you do if I said no?" Kamila tilted her head to the side in curiosity but the smile never disappeared from her face.

"I wouldn't burden you with my decision." Lith shrugged. "Taking care of one baby is already hard and your mental health comes first. I would simply take Valeron with me whenever I go to the tower with Elysia.

"I would ask Solus and the Guardians to assist me in case I get overwhelmed. I'm thinking of stopping working for a while and bonding with Valeron the Second. He's already past one year old and if I wait for too long, I'll end up like Trion and regret my stubbornness."

"According to what Grandma told me, he's almost as smart as Elysia and so is Shargein. I would spend time with the kids and help them to socialize. I would tell them the same stories and play the same games.

"I'd work only when they sleep and bring Elysia to you when she needs to be fed. To be honest, I think it will do us some good as well. I'm afraid that Elysia might need playdates at her level or she'll grow thinking to be surrounded by goldfish."

"Sounds like a wonderful plan." Kamila nodded. "Do you promise to not get angry if I tell you a secret,?"

"Punishing honesty is the same as asking to be lied to. Shoot."

"I knew how you felt about Valeron but I also knew that you'd come around sooner or later. I've spent quite some time with him during my pregnancy without telling you anything because I didn't want you to feel forced to do the same." Kamila said.

"I have no objection to bringing him to our home. Valeron is smart and he's also a very sweet child. I'm certain that you two will get along. Just keep help at the ready because I could be overwhelmed as well."

Lith held her tighter and gave her a sweet kiss even though etiquette forbid public displays of affection. Luckily, those stuck up enough to care were all drunk and his wings wrapping around her on their own hid them from sight.

"Speaking of overwhelmed, since the day of our daughter's birth we haven't had a moment for ourselves. What do you say if tomorrow we leave Elysia with my parents, grandparents, or any of the many relatives who have badgered us to babysit her and we go out for a date?

"I promise you that if you give me the chance, I'll make you smile over, over, and over like during our honeymoon." Lith stared at her with the intensity of a thousand perverted faces, making Kamila blush.

"Why don't you let me be the judge of that?" He dragged her close to his chest, shattering any shred of hesitation she had left.

"I don't know." She cleared her voice, hearing how squeaky it had become. "We haven't been alone in a while and I'm self-conscious about my body. I need a bit of time to get back in shape."

"Why don't you let me be the judge of that?" He dragged her close to his chest, shattering any shred of hesitation she had left.
