章 889: Epilogue : Alex

Alex was in a daze.

This was the first time that Rory had ever talked to him like that. No matter what he had ever said about their father, no matter what he had ever done to their father, Rory never stopped him nor refuted him. 

He, too, never chastised her for being so close to their father and defending him. He never resented her for always making their father like he was some kind of hero.

It was like they had a silent agreement.

Neither bothered the other about their opinion of their father.

But now, Rory had not only scolded him, she called him a jerk?

Alex kicked a pebble that was on the ground, looking up as he watched everyone following Uncle Ali back towards the house.

It wasn't fair.

Alex and Aurora may have gained consciousness and awareness when young, and as such, highly intelligent children - but at the end of the day, they were still just that. 

Children.

Unlike Kyle, who had been reborn.
