Chapter 889: I Didn’t Know You Had That Kind Of Hobby…
"Unbelievable," Lily said after Ethan told her what he had done to Nicole.
The young man didn't want to keep any secrets from his wife, so he told her everything, including his plan to help his best friend control her Legacy.
"You've been through a lot, Ethan." Lily gave her husband a hug, which the latter returned with longing.
"I missed you," Ethan kissed the young lady's cheek while hugging her.
"I missed you too," Lily replied before returning his kiss.
The two stared at each other for a while before they pressed their foreheads together with their eyes closed.
A minute later, Lily pulled back and looked straight at Ethan's eyes.
"Do you plan to take responsibility for Samantha?" Lily asked.
"Yes," Ethan replied.
"Can you take care of all of us?" Lily asked in a teasing tone. "If we add your Mermaid Princess, won't the number of wives be nearly double the number you promised?"
Ethan smiled bitterly. "I have no excuse, but I will do my best to support all of you."
"Well, Joanne said that your family is rich," Lily smirked. "I just hope that they don't go bankrupt because of you."
A sigh escaped the young man's lips as he thought of his parents.
While his mother was there during his wedding with Lily, the former had no idea that the number of lovers that Ethan had would still increase by a few more.
"You know, I have a feeling that it won't end with Samantha and Illumina." Lily narrowed her eyes. "With the way things are going, your best friend might stop being your best friend before this year is over."
Ethan blinked once then twice before giving an anxious chuckle.
"See?" Lily arched an eyebrow. "You didn't deny it."
"Nicole and I are just best friends," Ethan replied.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Uh-huh."
"It's true."
(A/N: Tell that to the readers, my friend. They are bribing me with castles to make it happen.) This time, it was Lily's turn to sigh before she rested her head on Ethan's chest.
"You know, sometimes, I wish that we remained in the Lands of Alastor," Lily said. "I'm sure that we would have lived very happy lives, and I wouldn't have to share you with anyone. Um, maybe I might share you with Ramona, but that's it."
Ethan wrapped his arms around Lily's soft and delicate body before whispering in her ears.
"I'm sorry," Ethan whispered. "I have wronged you."
"I wouldn't love you anything less just because of this, you know? Since you honored me as your First Wife, I'll be more understanding. But Ethan, make sure to love all of us so that no one will feel lonely."
"I'll do my best," Ethan replied. "I will do my utmost best to make all of you feel happy in choosing to be with me."
The two then kissed each other, starting with small sweet pecks that grew into long and passionate kisses.
By the time they were finished, both of them were out of breath as they stared at each other's eyes.
Suddenly, the young man and young lady noticed a slight change in their surroundings, making the two of them glance in Samantha's direction.
"Go on," Samantha replied with a beet-red face. "Don't mind me."
Ethan and Lily glanced at each other before nodding their heads at the same time.
"I'll see you later, Ethan," Lily said before shifting her gaze to Samantha. "I'm glad you're finally awake, Samantha. I don't know if you heard my earlier talk with Ethan, but just in case, I'll leave the two of you to talk in private."
The young lady then lowered her head to kiss Samantha's forehead before leaving the room without another word.
Lily made sure to lock the door before she left, ensuring that no one would disturb the important talk that Ethan needed to have with Samantha.
"How much did you hear earlier?" Ethan asked.
"I woke up around the part when Lily said that she had a feeling that it won't end with me and Illumina," Samantha replied. "Who's Illumina? Were you talking about your Resonance Magic? I didn't know you had that kind of hobby..."
"No," Ethan said. "Whatever you're thinking, it's not what you're thinking."
Samantha giggled because this was the first time that Ethan was reacting in this manner to her teasing.
"Samantha, we need to talk," Ethan said softly while holding the young lady's hand.
The moment Ethan held her hand, she felt a tingle that ran down her spine.
Although it took her by surprise, she knew what it was-her Origin Magic, which had been removed from her body.
Samantha's chirpy mood suddenly died down when she remembered that she had become an ordinary mortal who could no longer use magic.
Seeing her hurt expression, the young man felt an ache inside his chest, prompting him to caress Samantha's cheek.
"Don't worry," Ethan said. "There's a way for your magic to return. But before that, can you tell me everything you remember during our time inside the Twilight Domain?"
Hearing her magic could be returned to her, Samantha was finally able to calm down. But after regaining her calm, her cheeks reddened after remembering the things that she and Ethan did inside the Twilight Domain.
"Ethan, I know that this might not be the right time to ask this, but I have to ask you nevertheless," Samantha said in a serious tone. "Did you make me drink a contraception potion after we were rescued?"
"Yes," Ethan replied. "I made sure that you drank one."
A sigh of relief and regret escaped the young lady's lips after learning the answer to her
question.
"Do you feel better now?" Ethan asked.
"Yes," Samantha replied. "Now, to answer your question, I don't remember anything beyond the part where my Origin Magic Crystal was taken from me. How did we get rescued?"
"I'll tell you everything," Ethan answered.
True to his word, he told Samantha everything he knew, as well as the information that Sebastian and his Other Half had given him during his unconscious state.
Samantha, who was listening to Ethan's narration, couldn't help but be surprised when Ethan told her that he only managed to defeat the Witch of Twilight because her Origin Magic Crystal had supplied Ethan with sufficient magic and that it was still granting him access to its use to this very day.
