Chapter 790: Congratulations, darling.

[ FORBIDDEN FOREST: THE GRIMSBANNE MANSION ]

Moving scriptures crawled all over Aries's body, stretching out of the stone coffin to the floor of the chapel. As these ancient texts moved as if they had their consciousness, Abel's lips continued to move, chanting words only he could understand. 

When his lips stopped, his shut eyes slowly cracked open. His gaze instantly fell on her, watching the scriptures surrounding her skin like flowers. He followed the text with his eyes until he was staring at his shoes. 

Underneath him was akin to a pool of darkness as if he could fall in it if he was a little lighter. Yet, there was no sign of fear on his face. The scriptures continued to crawl around the chapel until half of it was covered with darkness. 

"Don't make me wait for too long," he whispered, caressing her cheek with the back of his fingers. "I've waited long enough, darling."
