Chapter 2593 Going With The Flow
Fay, on the other hand, found that conversation to be more like a fairytale. "Do you expect me to believe that?"
Rean nodded. "You find this hard to believe? Just wait until I tell you what Roan and I are being forced to do. Now, that"s the truly ridiculous story."
"Enough; I don"t want to hear more of this gloomy talk," Hamarlia immediately intervened and quickly approached Fay. "So you are my grandchild! Come, come, tell your gramma more about you!"
Fay felt completely at a loss. She had never seen her grandparents, after all. "I... I"m sorry, lady. Even if you say that, I don"t really know what to tell you."
Qia then patted Fay"s shoulder. "You waited so much to hear the whole story from your Dad; it won"t matter if you wait another hour or so. Instead, you should take this chance to know Hamarlia and Turen. They are indeed your grandparents."
Qia then turned to Hamarlia. "Even I had little chance to talk to you, lady Hamarlia." She then pointed at Rean and Fay. "I have a lot of stories about these two that neither of them would dare mention out of embarra.s.sment. Would you like to hear? In exchange, I would like to hear more about you too."
Hamarlia"s eyes lit up. "Oh-ho... Come and sit and have some tea. I want to hear every detail."
Rean sighed, already expecting many of his shameful moments in life to be disclosed bare during that day. From the look on Roan"s ugly face, it seems like Hamarlia already said a lot of things bout his past to Calina as well... although Calina seemed to be enjoying it to the fullest.
Without another choice, Fay could only follow her mother and join the conversation. Once, she tried to stop Qia from speaking too much, only to receive a dreadful glare from Qia. "f.u.c.k off! Exposing the kid"s embarra.s.sing past is every parent"s right. Sit down and don"t intervene."
Turen and Hamarlia nodded vigorously. They obviously intended to do exactly the same thing regarding Rean and Roan.
Rean then glanced at Roan, communicating through their soul connection. "Won"t you do anything to stop them?"
Roan looked back at Rean. "Me? Why don"t you step forward and try to stop our mother? I very much wish to see you doing it."
"Ahem... forget I asked anything." Rean quickly changed the topic. "By the way, I"m about to tell Fay everything. You won"t mind, right?"
Roan shook his head. "She seems a lot more properly raised than you were, so it should be okay. Truly, how did you and Qia give birth to such a diligent woman with your DNA?"
Rean smiled back. "I could ask exactly the same thing regarding your son, Alen."
Roan sighed after hearing that. He truly had no answer for that counterattack.
Little by little, Fay opened herself to Hamarlia and Turen. Calina also joined the fun with Qia, and the people in the room began to have a very good time together. Sometime later, Luan entered the room. "Sorry for interrupting, Father. There are a lot of people in our sect curious about the system sect from outside."
Halarmia quickly waved at Luan. "They can all wait. The System Sect won"t go anywhere. Where were you? You were also part of the family, so you should have joined us."
Luan scratched the back of his head. He didn"t really have a bloodline relation with Roan, so he felt somewhat embarra.s.sed to join the group. "Al-Alright..."
"Oh! Right! Let me go bring someone else. Two, actually." Rean then quickly left. After a minute, he reappeared in the room, bringing with him two women.
Qia, Calina, and Fay were puzzled. They had never seen those women before. "Who are they, Rean... Wait... Have I seen that girl somewhere before...?"
Rean then pushed the first girl forward. "She does resemble her quite a bit, doesn"t she? This is Lisia Drumed, Malaka"s Great-Granddaughter."
"What?! Great-Granddaughter?!" Qia and Calina were the most shocked by that information. But then again, Lisia did look a little like the young Malaka of the past. "What about Malaka?"
Lisia was the one to answer. "Great-grandmother had a long and happy life... but she never managed to enter the Soul Transformation Realm."
"I see..." Qia and Calina couldn"t help but sigh. However, this wasn"t the moment for sadness, so they quickly looked at the other woman. "And this lady here is...?"
"This is my Sister. Well, only soul-related... if there is such a thing. Her name is Tamires Zinfan. She is my Sister from my father"s side," Rean explained.
Calina and Qia immediately looked at Turen with ugly expressions. "Father-in-law... I can"t believe it. How could you betray mother-in-law?!"
Turen almost vomited blood, especially since Halarlia looked at him with a killing glare. "Who the h.e.l.l betrayed anyone?! Rean is talking about his other father! I have absolutely nothing to do with anything! I would never betray my beloved wife."
"And yet you lied to me about who you really were for decades..." Hamarlia added.
Turen wanted to cry already. Even after years, Hamarlia still hadn"t forgotten that. "Sorry..."
Tamires then looked at Rean. "I don"t think I should be here. We barely have any real relation, you know?"
Suddenly, the door in the room opened as a voice came through it. "Bulls.h.i.t! You are as much part of this family as anyone else."
"Mom, why did you take so long?" Rean couldn"t help but ask. Naturally, that was Rean"s other mother from the other half of the Universe, Juliana.
Juliana nodded. "I was obviously preparing the feast! A good story is way better when heard over the table. Everyone, come to the dining room. I also want to hear everything."
Fay only got more confused. "Another Mother? Another Father? Just what is happening here."
Yet, she suddenly saw her checks being grabbed by Juliana. "So this is my granddaughter, uh? Well, we aren"t exactly blood-related, but it matters not. Come, child, let"s eat!"
Once again, Fay was forced to go with the flow.
