章節 208: I Beg of You

Lina was stunned by his words. She could barely open her mouth. Instead, she stared at him wide-eyed. The room fell into a deathly silence. Even Atlantis stiffened behind her. It almost made her laugh. If she was pregnant with another man's child, would Atlantis stop pursuing her? 

Suddenly, the old man burst into a ripe chuckle. Goosebumps crawled up her arms. She was frightened by his menacing laughter. Unnerved by the cackling, she felt the sudden urge to run. She felt uncomfortable in his presence.

"Of course, that is not impossible," the old man mused like he had just made the best joke of the century. He tilted his head and revealed a smile with a full set of teeth.

"The Goddess of Fertility and Family has not blessed you. She may never do so, for you offended her 1,500 years ago. You were a favored girl only because of her," the old man said.
