For a split second, Meg had the urge to keep her. Just like that, their family of three could live a carefree life, and that seemed pretty good too.
Looking at Amy, who was lying in Irina's arms with a smile on her face even in her sleep, he suddenly understood the meaning of the phrase, "A family should be complete."
He used to think that he could give Amy the most love in the world and let her grow up happily.
But he had to admit that motherly love was something that he could never give Amy, and it was also something that she couldn't live without.
"I'll make sure that the time we spend together becomes shorter." Meg secretly made up his mind. There were many things that needed to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
Irina hugged Amy and gently rocked her back and forth as she hummed a gentle song. It was a soft fairy song, and it sounded like a natural chant. Although they couldn't understand it, it still made their hearts feel at peace.
"What a wonderful feeling. That ugly little fellow from back then has grown up into a beautiful and mischievous girl. She even knows how to call me mother. Even though she doesn't know who I am, she knows how to get close to me. What a smart little fellow. If only she could stay by your side forever..."
Irina hugged Amy for a long time. When the singing stopped, she reluctantly looked away from Amy's little face and looked up at Meg. She asked, "When will you come and pick me up?"
Meg looked into Irina's clear eyes and thought seriously for a while before saying firmly, "One year."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you for a year. If you don't come and pick me up in a year, then I'll come and pick you up." Irina nodded and handed Amy to Meg. She leaned over and kissed her on the eyes. She looked into Meg's eyes for a long time before suddenly standing on her tiptoes and kissing his cheek.
"Meg, remember this: you're my man, Irina!"
A faint golden teleportation formation lit up, and Irina and Night disappeared at the same time. Only a dumbstruck Meg was left in the room with Amy in his arms, as well as Ugly Duckling, who was also lying on the ground with a dumbstruck expression.
Only after a long while did Meg come to his senses. He reached out to touch his cheek and blinked, but he was still a little stunned. When those soft lips were pressed against his cheek, his mind had almost completely gone blank.
Even though she didn't say anything threatening, that one sentence was more than countless threats. Meg sighed. It wasn't easy being Irina's man, and from this day onward, he would have to bear this pressure.
One year was the promise that Meg had made to both Irina and Amy.
Meg didn't want to delay their reunion for too long. What he had to do next was to do everything in his power to go to The Wind Forest to pick up Irina.
After all, he didn't want to be picked up by Irina and brought back to The Wind Forest in a year's time.
Living off a woman was a skill, but Meg didn't want to be looked down upon by Amy. He had to ride the rainbow cloud to The Wind Forest to pick up Irina.
Looking at Amy in his arms, Meg's expression gradually softened. As long as she was happy, he would do anything.
"This is?" Meg's gaze landed on a small green string that suddenly appeared on Amy's wrist. There was a green bead about the size of a soybean tied to the string. It also looked like a seed. It was translucent and emitted a faint green light.
This bead should have been left behind by Irina. Meg was very familiar with this green light. It was the same light green light that was emitted from Irina's hand when she saved him today. It was full of vitality.
"Even though I don't know what it is, it must be something precious." Meg pulled Amy's sleeve down a little to cover the bead. Then, he wrapped Amy with his own clothes. Then, he squatted down to pick up Ugly Duckling, who was still lying on the ground, and pushed the door open.
The storm had subsided a lot, but the rain was still pouring down heavily.
"Master Meg, are you going back? Let me hold an umbrella for you. " The butler, who had fallen asleep leaning against the railing, opened his eyes when he heard the sound. When he saw Meg, he quickly went up to him with a smile.
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Meg nodded with a smile. He naturally couldn't miss out on such a perfect alibi. Furthermore, he really didn't have the time to hold an umbrella.
After exiting the kitchen, he hadn't walked far when a burst of noise sounded from not far away. It was mixed with Josh's scolding and smashing sounds.
"What's that?"
Meg was a little perplexed.
"Maybe one of the servants did something wrong." The butler looked in that direction and shrank back. He was secretly glad that he had been given an easy task today, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Meg nodded slightly and didn't ask any questions. He was just a little disappointed that he hadn't been able to kill Josh with a single sword strike.
After returning to the room, Meg carefully placed Amy on the bed. He looked at the little one's adorable face with a smile, and couldn't help but lean over and kiss her forehead.
"Alex is back. Rodu should be in chaos now." Meg looked out the window at the chrysanthemums swaying in the rain.
…
"Piss off! Piss off, all of you! "
Josh was completely drenched, and his hair was disheveled. He kicked down a servant who was kneeling on the ground with a hot towel in his hands as he yelled at the top of his lungs.
Everything in the room was overturned. Precious porcelain bottles and jade stones were smashed into pieces. It was a complete mess as far as the eye could see.
The dozen or so servants who were kneeling on the ground hurriedly rushed out of the room as if they had been pardoned. Josh was soon the only one left in the room after the door was closed.
Josh staggered over to the table and supported himself with both hands as he sat down in a chair in a daze with a hollow look in his eyes.
Right at this moment, a burst of blue light lit up in the room, and Richard emerged from the teleportation formation. His brows furrowed slightly at the sight of Josh, who was sitting there as if his soul had been sucked out of his body. He said in a grim voice, "Your Highness, Alex has reappeared, and he's at the peak of his powers. If he reveals what happened three years ago to the public, we're going to be under immense pressure. We have to make some preparations."
Josh only came to his senses after hearing that voice. He looked at Richard, and his lips trembled as his face paled slightly. "He... He wanted to kill me. His sword slashed across my neck, and I almost died..."
Richard took a glance at the wound on Josh's neck, and a serious expression appeared on his face as he said, "Your Highness, we'll protect you."
