Bab 503: Her place

"Are you alright?" Nathaniel asked, clicking his fingers, making Elliana look into his eyes for a few seconds before she wrapped her hands around his neck and hugged him while she sat in his lap.

Nathaniel froze in his place for a few seconds, his heart skipping a beat before he relaxed when she snuggled her head into his neck, pulling herself closer to him as if she were trying to find a home in him.

Nathaniel sighed and placed his lips on her temple softly.

"Everything is alright. I am with you. No matter what happens next, and if the world rejects you, just know that you will always find a home in me," Nathaniel whispered softly to her, patting her back softly.

Azura looked at her daughter and stood at some distance awkwardly.

She should've been the one in place of Nathaniel. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to win her daughter's trust yet for her daughter to hug her like she was hugging Nathaniel right now.
