Bab 335: Light

"Hmm…" Belial feigned being thoughtful. "If you can't forgive me, then I can't do anything about it. My sin is already done and if saying sorry is not enough then I don't think bribes or gifts, or any atonement will work as well. I don't beg and chase people for forgiveness except for my wife." 

Evie raised a brow. "This means, you've done something wrong to my mother-in-law and you had begged and chased after her for forgiveness before, am I right?" She said in a taunting tone, really enjoying their light and relaxed bantering. It even shocked her at how seemingly natural it was for her to say those words 'mother-in-law'. 

"Beatrice," he said suddenly. "I don't know if my damned son told you but that is my wife's name." He smiled, his gaze twinkled at the mention of the name. 

"It's a beautiful name."
