Chapter 1681
Orion didn’t complain about his daughters abusing his trust nor about Jirni taking part in the group hug. He could see how worried his little girls were and how happy having both of their parents in the same room made them.

“Girls, I understand why you did this, but the matters between your mother and I cannot be solved just by talking while sitting at a table and drinking tea.” Orion broke the embrace and took a couple of steps back to look Jirni in the eyes.

“You can’t bandage a deep wound and wait for it to heal. It remains hidden from sight, but it keeps bleeding and festering. On top of that, a Royal mission is hardly the place to discuss our marriage problems, especially in front of Manohar!”

He pointed at the god of healing who had been making retching sounds ever since he had regained consciousness.

“I know that, Dad.” Phloria said while keeping an eye on Manohar who was slowly regaining his mobility. “I just wanted you two to meet in the hope that by spending enough time together you can at least build a small bridge over the abyss that Mom created with her schemes.”

Orion remained silent. Phloria had already admitted that he wasn’t responsible for the situation which didn’t leave him much to say, at least in the presence of his daughters.

‘The problem here is that this time I didn’t do anything wrong. Jirni kept me out of the loop and let me grieve Quylla’s fake death like a moron because she considers my love for our children a weakness. I can’t trust a person like that and without trust, there’s no relationship.’ He thought.
