My Stubborn Mistress

"That"s not true. You are a remarkable man for many. You contribute many successes and show a difference from the battle you won back then. I heard a lot of praises and commends for you, and being your son, I felt so proud."

Quinn shedding tears hearing this from his son whom he never meet as he was never known in the past. Emotions began taking over his chest and so he opened up another topic to suppressed the tears he holds from fleeing.

"I"m glad, Riley did a very good job raising you in the past. She was still wonderful even at present."

"Yes. My memories of her, she was a great person and a good mother to me. She dedicated her life raising me instead of getting married or having a life of her own. As I am growing up, when I hit my teenage years, she told me the whole truth about who are my parents. And she loves a man who has to leave France to go back to his country."

"That is Gen Isagawa?"

"Yes, he is."

"And they fulfilled their love in this era."

"Yes, at the present life, they finally together."

"How did you know that she is Lisa Grace"s reincarnation? Because of their resemblance?"

"Honestly, yes. I meet a young girl who looks exactly like my foster mother. In the beginning, to know the truth, I am visiting her neighborhood to gather information about her and her family. I run an investigation and proved that she is a descendant of the Grace family."

Nicholas went on. "Her relatives in Italy ousted Lisa Grace as thought, she gives birth to a son without a father. She accepts everyone"s criticism. She works even to the lowest job just to raise me. And so, after I reborn and learn they have reincarnated her. I return the love she gave me, as like her son."

"So this is the real story. The reason you and Aunt Lily had fought before? She accuses you of having an affair."

Nicholas laughs echoed the entire room. "Yes. She learns that there is a young woman I often visiting and even funded her college and bold to introduced her to Section 14 Academy. It was just then I told your Aunt Lily the entire story. I told her I was actually from the past and was reborn at present. Then she understood why I showed fondness to Riley. Since she knows the truth, he requested Riley to live with us and treated like our daughter instead."

"And to make the story short, you a.s.signed her to watch me. But how about Ca.s.sandra?"

"About that, Lady Isabella notified by the shamans that Marivella is about to reincarnate. But need a particular couple, Hannah and Landon. Anyway, Landon and I grew up together in the same neighborhood. But I am older, yeah. I was happy that he will be the birth father of my reincarnated mother. At least, I know the people who will become her parents."

"Truly he was against the marriage idea of you and Ca.s.sandra. But he was just afraid her daughter has to get married sooner. So he asks the Pillars to live a normal life. It is what he wishes for her daughter. But then, Ca.s.sandra has the memories of everyone, and so we brought her to Hiryuu Island. The shaman performing a ritual to seal the memories." Nicholas explained.

"The reason why we have to bring her back to the island as soon as possible."

"Yes. She feels at ease if she will live at Hiryuu Island," replied Nicholas.

"About her cousins, the Chen twin. I now have a conclusion about why they did not join the alliance."

"They should have if they want more information from us," Nicholas retorted.

Quinn nodded. "A bold move, but Lady Isabella will quickly know their motives."

"Ah, that"s correct. She would read a glimpse of their past or the future."

"Absolutely. It seems they were working under our gaze, and it looks, they have been traveling time behind our sight." If they never travel to the past, he would not find out they have an enemy they must face and settle this issue of why the Twin wants to kill him."

"I will dig into a hole with our Korean secret Alliance."

"We have?" Now he was more intrigued with everything Nicholas did during the time he was a kid. All he sees is a loving uncle who shows fondness to him. It is just because, he is raising his father.

"Yes. There are still loyal to the Alliance, even just a secret members.h.i.+p." Nicholas continued.

"Who are they?" asked Quinn.

"Julius Kang, his success internationally intimidated the government. Lead him to gain trust most from the government and even the National Security and learns many things both on the surface and to the core of the national issues."

"Is Jason knew this too?"

Nicholas tilted his head and rub his chin. "For what I learn, he knows not everything yet. Julius Kang till only a few to her son. Many from the Alliance just knows that Jason is working under you."

"I see. But can we ask cooperation in this matter?"

"Do you want me to fly to Mainland City tomorrow?" Nicholas" ideas.

"It feels awkward you do this for me, instead of me solving these matters." Even after learning the truth, still, an awkward situation for him to act or treated as the father.

"But you can"t leave her here."

Quinn sighed. The Ca.s.sandra they have here is the one from the life that does not exist anymore.

"Derek and I discuss something. Maybe if we kill the Ca.s.sandra and me in that life, she has no reason to travel to that life anymore."

"What?" Nicholas is dumbfounded hearing this…

"It is just a plot, for now. It"s hard to imagine killing myself and the woman I love so much. Even that is the life that does not belong to our reality, still, it is once a life of everyone."

Nicholas astounded learning his father"s plan. "Although the book it says that Ca.s.sandra died, all we have to wait is to happen that moment."

"I am unsure. If we have to wait for Ca.s.sandra to die or have to do it ourselves. I don"t know if what chapter she was now. To where I left, they were in j.a.pan. But possibly, they were in the part that Martin moving out."

"Then, Martin will die soon. After then, Lydia will bring Ca.s.sandra back to Hiryuu Island, and my heir will prepare to fight the evil Julius Kang and to see her again."

"Shun Crow."

Nicholas displayed a gentle but teasing smile.

"Are you teasing your father?" Quinn darkened his gaze but his tone is jesting.

Nicholas laughs. "I state nothing."

"You are mocking your father because he can"t read the book?"

"Nah. I just know how you and my mother created me."

Quinn"s face turned red. Carlisle and Marivella have many intimate moments in the past. "You shouldn"t read it in the first place!" he is trying to cover his embarra.s.sment, yes. Quinn pouted. "Geez…"

Nicholas simply laughing, which is echoing in the entire house. Not that long, the door opens loudly by someone who slammed it.

"Hey, both of you, father and son, if you have no plan to sleep. There are people here who try to sleep!" Landon blurted out upon violently opening the library door.

"There you are, you"ve better to join the fun," Nicholas invited Landon to take a seat. "Ivan, make our coffee."

"Right away, Master."

"Why would I? I don"t want to be the third wheel of your moment being reunited." Landon refusing, but he already took the empty couch.

Nicholas laughs, and Quinn shakes his head. His character really astounded him. Somehow, he has known Landon"s scorn. His words always contradict what he is doing.

"Papa Landon, I actually wished to talk with you."

"About what?"
