Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 662 Visiting in-laws (6)

Hearing this, I decided to stop beating around the bush and said, "Your parents, I wanted to talk to you about your parents."

The look of a girl in love that was on Rose's face disappeared when she heard this.

It was replaced with an expression of unwillingness, like she really didn't want to talk about this.

But seeing the serious look that I had on my face, she said with a sigh, "What did you want to talk about in regards to them?"

"Are you embarrassed of me, is that why you've never brought me to meet them?" I suddenly asked.

This time, it was Rose's turn to be shocked.

She looked at me with a look of confusion and disbelief, as if she couldn't understand what I was saying.

But she quickly shook her head and said, "No, it isn't that I'm embarrassed of you. I would never be embarrassed of you."

I just looked at her with a calm look and asked, "Then why have you never brought me to see your parents after all this time?"

Though there was a calm look on my face, there was a trace of being hurt that was in my eyes.

To me, it was clear that she didn't want to bring me back before because I was just a slave that her husband had bought for her. If I was her parents, I wouldn't want my daughter to be with someone like that either.

But after all this time, I had worked hard to slowly increase my status and become someone that she could be proud of.

Even then, she didn't bring me back to see her parents.

After a long silence, Rose finally said, "It isn't that I'm embarrassed of you, but rather I'm embarrassed of my parents."

I couldn't help being surprised when I heard this, but I calmed down and said, "They're your parents, what is there to be embarrassed about?"

Rose gave a sigh as she said, "You don't understand what kind of people they are. They aren't what you think they are and you won't understand the reason why I'm embarrassed of them."

I couldn't help knitting my brows when I heard this, but I still said, "They are your parents, so regardless of how embarrassing they are, don't you want to see them again? Besides, we've been married for so long and we've never gone to see them once…"

I didn't finish what I was saying, but the question left hanging was more than enough.

Rose looked at me for a bit before shaking her head and giving another sigh while saying, "You don't understand the reason why I'm embarrassed of them. My father…he is an opportunist. He is someone who does whatever will benefit him, so he doesn't have any shame. Even marrying off his daughter to a baron in the middle of nowhere because of his own plans…that was why I wasn't able to ask for their help back then."

Once the flood gates had opened, Rose didn't hold back at all as she poured everything out to me.

All of the frustrations that came from her family, she released onto me.

And it turned out that there was a lot of frustration towards her family that she was holding in her heart.

After a long while, she finally calmed down and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me."

I just sat down beside her and took her in my arms as I said, "You don't have to apologize for anything. I am your husband, you're supposed to say these things to me."

Rose looked up at me with a surprised look at first, but then she revealed a touched look as she gave a slight nod.

I patted her on the back to show that I understood what she was feeling, but I still had to say something.

"Regardless of how you feel about them, they are still your parents, right? I'm sure that you would want them to know about your marriage and how you're doing. It isn't as if you don't care about them at all, right?"

Rose was surprised again when she heard this, but slowly she gave a nod.

No matter how she tried, she couldn't completely deny that they were her parents and that she did care for them.

They were the ones that had raised her and she had lived with for the first part of her life, so it was impossible for her to forget about them.

In the end, Rose said, "Just give me a bit of time and I'll bring you back to see them. I just have to take care of a few more things first before I bring you back."

I gave a nod with a faint smile on my face.

At the very least, it was a step forward since she was willing to take me back to see her family.

Before this, she wouldn't even mention her family.

So it was a step in the right direction.

Sometimes, we really did forget to talk about these things since we wanted to avoid them. But it was important for us to talk about these things since it wasn't as if they would go away.

It wasn't as if we could just ignore these matters.

It was better to face them head on and to find a solution to them that we could both agree on.

That way, it wouldn't blow up from being ignored for too long.

After we settled this, Rose suddenly said, "It's been a long time since we've been together."

I thought about it and realized that she was right.

Even though I came back with the wyverns, I had been too busy with setting up the wyvern riders that I never had a chance to spend quality time with Rose.

Then there was the trip to Bright Water City to see Veronica's parents.

"Then how about we fix that?" I said with a smile.
