Chapter 307: I'm not ready to meet your family

Aleksis slowly let go of him from her embrace. She stared intently at Alaric, her hand rubbing the man's part of the face not hidden under his mask. "I know two people who are just like you. They were alone and lonely for a long time. Both are the gentlest people I ever known, and I love them very much. After their lives are filled with love, they no longer feel alone ... I really want you to meet them ... so that you can see for yourself that there is always hope ..."

Alaric looked at Aleksis with a complicated look. "Who are they?"

"My mother and my Uncle Rory ..." answered Aleksis. "My mother is an orphan and lived miserably until she met my father. Uncle Rory is also alone and had intended to end his life 20 years ago. Uncle Rory doesn't like humans because his whole family was killed in the war. Actually, you reminded me of  Uncle Rory a lot.."

Hearing this, Alaric let out a long sigh, "Aleksis, I already told you I am not yet ready to meet your family."
