Love Is Timeless - Chapter 184
Theresa, Fu Jin and Bai Lu Chen stepped inside the room slowly and saw that Aarti had just woken up and was trying to register her surrounding. Immediately, Theresa ran to her mother and knelt down with a thud.
“Mother, i have sinned. It was all because of me. Mother hit me! Hit me please!”Theresa cried in German.
Aarti was at first stunned when she saw Theresa looking like this but what mother wouldn’t recognize her baby? She quickly hugged Theresa.
“No, mother won’t hit you. Theresa, you are my precious baby. Why would you even think of that? My baby, don’t cry. Mama is here” Aarti petted Theresa’s back as she fought hard to hold back her rebelling tears.
“Mother i’m sorry”Theresa muttered, her tears wet her mum’s shoulders.
Clark also woke up at this moment to see this scene.
“Theresa? My child!”Clark called in German.
“Daddy!”Theresa stopped embracing her mum and shifted towards her dad and then prostrated.
“Father, forgive me. I made a mistake. Hit me father! Hit..”
“Theresa, i am your father and you are my baby. Why will i hit you. I can’t”Clark raised Theresa up and hugged her. Aarti also joined in the hug and kissed Theresa’s cheeks.
The other men standing ( Bai Lu Chen, Long Ren, old man Long and Fu Jin) left. None of them could understand what Theresa and co, were saying but they knew this was their private moment. Instead of being the stupid audience, why don’t they go to do something else.
So they all headed to the living room and sat on chairs.
“So…what are we sitting here for?”Fu Jin asked and Long Ren felt like slapping him to death.
“We are sitting here and waiting for you to die”said Long Hua Ming.
“YOU..forget it. Let’s not cause a commotion to my daughter’s guests”Fu Jin calmed down immediately.
“They are her rightful parents. You were just someone that she picked up from the trashbin and labelled ‘foster father’”said Long Ren.
“Why are the two of you intent on bullying me? I’m just an innocent man, righteous and struggling to live in peace. I’ve never offended anyone in my life”Fu Jin complained.
“Oh, then what do you have to say about that poor old woman’s chicken you stole last week?”old Long asked with furrowed eyebrows.
“That…that was..an accident. It was kind of a misunderstanding. There was a man trying to steal the chicken. Out of my goodwill and righteous heart, i decided to beat him up. I tried to return the chicken back to the owner but i realized that it was very big and fat and it surely had eggs. So i decided to borrow it for a while. I wanted only the eggs and the meat not the feathers. By accident the chicken died while i was trying to extract the blood, meat and eggs. I decided to return the liver,wings,head and feathers back to the woman’s cage. I also put a copper coin to show my apology.”
“Wow! You did well. But you could use some advice. You should put a goat’s head in the cage and sprinkle blood on her doorstep and place a scorpion in her restroom”advised Bai Lu Chen.
Scoffing Long Ren spoke “No wonder you are old. You are indeed spicy”
“I am and i’m proud of it. I’m not a king for nothing. Unlike you who only has the title of demon lord”
“You… stupid snake…just you wait”Long Ren clenched his fists underneath his sleeves.
“I’ll wait till you grow as handsome as me. Ugly fox”Bai Lu Chen retorted.
“Hey, my master isn’t ugly. You are the ugly snake here. You use evil tricks to win over our mistress”Ju Wei who just appeared said.
“I’m officially her pet so it’s legal not a sin”
“You..”Ju Wei was cut short by old man Long.
“Let’s stop fighting. I’l be leaving soon. I wanna make sure that all is well by the time i leave”said old Long.
“Fine”Long Ren and Ju Wei muttered.
Rubbing his palms together, Long Hua Ming initiated the discussion for the arrangements for Theresa and her parents. Sometimes Long Ren and Bai Lu Chen almost killed each other especially when Ju Wei and Fu Jin fanned the flames as hard as they could but luckily, they had made the living room sound proof and old Long was able to tie them up with a magical rope so the meeting could go on peacefully. He then sighed.
“I hope that after i leave, this house won’t be torn down.”old Long thought.
Meanwhile, Theresa had stopped crying and was explaining important stuff to her parents who were paying rapt attention. For some unknown reason, Marabelle was still asleep so they had put her on the bed.
“So you mean that your mom can use magic to an extent?”Clark asked in shock.
‘Yeah! But it’ll take a while. I’m so glad that you both are here. Please never leave me okay?”Theresa said pitifully and hugged them. Both sighed and petted her back. After 30 more minutes, Marabelle woke up and they spent 10 more minutes discussing before leaving the room with smiles. Their destination? The living room.
