Chapter 247: Tragic Love Story

When they arrive at the dining table, Iris can see Lucian, Gavriel, and the others talking with Xiu.

She sat with Xavier on the other side of the table. Before they joined the conversation, the waitress came to serve her dinner.

Meanwhile, as always, Xavier didn’t eat anything; he only calmly drank his beast’s blood wine. He didn’t bother to engage in conversation with his father.

...

Iris started eating and ignored what Xiu and the others were talking about. Her mind was still busy recalling what she had discussed with Xiu earlier.

However, as much as she tried to recall her conversation, she couldn’t remember it at all.

Curiously, she stole a glance at Xiu, who enjoyed his T-bone steak with Lucian, who also ate the same dish with him.

Iris faintly heard their conversation but didn’t understand at all. She turns her gaze to Xavier beside her.

To her surprise, he was now staring back at her.

’What are you thinking?’ Xiu asked, knowing something troubled her mind now.

’Xavier, is Xiu powerful?’ Perplexion flashed through her eyes as she anticipated his answer.

’My dear wife, why are you thinking about another man when you are with me?’ Xavier didn’t bother to answer her; instead, he asked her before sipping his wine.

Iris was taken aback hearing his question.

’My goddess Xavier, you also feel jealous of your nephew?’

When Iris saw Xavier’s deadpan expression, he didn’t utter a word. She continued to ask, ’You weren’t confident with yourself? Why are you still jealous of others like I will run with another man?’ She narrowed her eyes, staring at his eyes before laughing slightly.

Xavier put his wine glass down while looking at her, ’Why did you assume I was jealous of him?’

She deliberated not to rush to answer him after seeing him frown. She said, ’Because I could see clearly from your eyes. Ugh, don’t worry, I will never fall to him.’

Still not receiving any response from Xavier makes her give up talking about it. She turns her gaze back to her plate.

’I know you will not fall for him. And he also could not have stolen you.’

Iris smiles teasingly at him, ’You sound confident, Milord!?’

’I’m pretty confident because he is my father!’

"Cough...Cough..." Iris abruptly coughs, hearing his words. How could a man who looks like a flower boy become her father?

Iris wasn’t the only one who was shocked.

Gavriel and the others were also shocked. They weren’t shocked because of Xiu’s

status as Xavier’s father, as they didn’t hear Iris converse with Xavier.

However, they were curious to see Iris almost choked as her face looked so red.

’Y-your fa-father? X-Xiu is your father?’

She tries to confirm again, afraid she hears wrong.

’Yes.’

Iris gasped. She turned her gaze to Xiu and was surprised to see he was now looking at her.

’Hello, daughter-in-law... it’s nice to finally meet you.’ Xiu’s charming voice rang in Iris’s mind.

She opened her mouth a few times, but no words could be escaped from her lips. She was utterly speechless.

’Father, stop teasing my wife!’ Xavier chimed in Iris’ mind.

Iris was shocked and turned her gaze at Xavier, now glaring at Xiu.

She can’t believe Xavier and Xiu can actually talk through their mental mind. More than two people simultaneously, like they have a voice conference in her mind.

She was impressed with their ability because she never succeeded in doing that despite her efforts to try many times.

’Daughter-in-law, you continue your dinner first. We will continue our talk later.’

Iris could only nod. She immediately finished her dinner and could hardly wait to know more about Xiu and Xavier’s relationship.

...

After the lively dinner, they move to the second floor’s living room. This time, only the three of them gather in the room.

Iris sat on the sofa opposite Xiu while Xavier stood by the window. He does not want to be involved in Xiu and Iris’s conversation. Still, he actually hears every word they exchange.

Iris stared at Xiu with mixed feelings.

She knows they will not lie to her about this, but she still doubts they are both father and son.

How could Xiu look so much younger than Xavier? Unless he is using his ability to conceal his true form.

Curious to know, she can’t help but ask, "Sir, are you using a face-changing ability?"

"Iris, you can call me father the way my son calls me," he asked, ignoring her question.

Even though Iris feels awkward to call the man who looks younger than her, she still follows his request.

"Y-Yes father..."

"Lovely!" Xiu clasped his hand happily. "Well, yes, I alter my appearance. So, you don’t have to doubt it! I’m indeed his father." He said while casting a quick glance at Xavier.

"Do you have any doubts, Iris?"

Even though Xiu could hear what she was thinking, he still asked. He feels amused hearing so many questions now flash through her mind.

"F-Father, did you also come from the middle realm?" Iris finally chose the question. She really wanted to hear the answer.

"I’m not from that place," Xiu paused as he turned his gaze at Xavier, standing with his back facing them.

However, even though he could only get Xavier’s back, he knows how devastated he feels now.

’You still haven’t told her about your true identity?’ Xiu was surprised to know this. He thought Xavier had already told her everything, but this little girl seemed clueless.

Xavier silently took a deep breath. ’Not yet!’

’Why?’

’Because... I’m afraid she will be frightening.’ Xavier answered him. ’Father, can you return her memories?’

’Are you seriously want me to return her memories?’ Xiu’s eyebrows slightly lifted, hearing his request. ’She might run to your brother’s embrace if she remembers her past life... unless you are confident she will still choose you after she gains her memories.’

Xavier clenched his hand tightly as if something stabbed his heart.

’Father, please answer me. Why do you give me this opportunity?’ Xavier is still confused with his father, who is involved in his tragic love story.
