Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3569

"Dad, eww! Stop!" Quylla said, her eyes wet with tears.

She didn’t know whether it was the joy for having a new sister, the relief for her mother’s safety, or her pregnancy, but she cried a lot. Often for silly reasons if not for none at all.

"Let them be, Quylla." Friya handed her a handkerchief. "After everything our family has gone through, we deserve a bit of happiness."

"Speaking of happiness, I can’t believe you are finally getting married, Friya." Quylla sobbed, now with joy. "I was so scared you would die alone."

"Way to jinx it, sis." Friya patted her back to calm her down and offered Quylla a bowl of ice cream.

"Gods, this is so good." Quylla cried harder. "What did I do to deserve a sister like you? I’m sorry for what I said earlier."

"Help!" Friya yelled while her sister covered her in snot, tears, and spilled ice cream. "Somebody! Anybody! Help!"

"Don’t yell like that!" Orion rebuked her. "You could scare your little sister and your mother is trying to rest."

"Less scolding and more helping, Dad. I don’t know how to deal with Quylla’s mood swings and I can’t get her drunk to get her off my back for five minutes." Friya said. "What am I supposed to do?"

"Good question. I wish I knew the answer." Orion shrugged. "Where is Morok? He should be looking after his wife in such a delicate moment of her pregnancy."

"He’s out with his friends." Quylla blew her nose. "They are throwing him a bachelor party. He deserves it. I’ve been quiet a handful these last few days."

"Days? You mean months." Friya said, triggering another crying fit. "I was joking! I’m sorry, Quylla. Please, don’t cry!"

"Since when does Morok have friends?" Orion was flabbergasted. "Are you sure they aren’t just trying to scam him for our money?"

"Dad, you are being unfair!" Quylla went from a sobbing mess to indignant fury in half a second. "Morok is not a bad man and he’s not stupid. How dare you talk about the father of your grandchildren like that?"

’For the gods’ sake, don’t remind me that!’ Orion thought.

"I’m sorry, sweetie." He actually said. "I’m still on edge because of everything that happened when your mother gave birth, but that’s not an excuse to be a jerk."

"Apologies accepted." Quylla hugged him with so much strength that if not for Orion’s Awakened nature, she would have cracked his ribs. "Don’t worry, Dad. I’m sure everything will be fine. We’ll save Mom. Together."

Orion didn’t share her optimism but loved seeing his daughter’s smile and didn’t want her to go back to being a sobbing mess.

"You’re right, sweetheart." He nodded. "While Jirni rests here at the Verhen Mansion with Dripha, I’ll do my best to make our Ernas Household just as safe by the time she returns."

"Safe, sure, but I think she considers it more like a boot camp than a vacation." Friya chuckled and Jirni sighed in agreement. "Being surrounded by the weirdest families in the Kingdom is good practice for her."

"It is." Jirni fixed her pillows. "I’m getting used to dealing with shapeshifting children and their antics, and it’s exhausting." Your next chapter awaits on freewebnovel

"You’ll need it when Quylla’s babies are born, Mom. Who knows, maybe by spending time with mixed couples, you will also learn to appreciate Morok."
