Chapter Six-Hundred: The Bond

Ailee's point of view:

Mom was still not down by the time breakfast was served. I didn't need a prophet to tell me what she and my father were doing upstairs. As I said, it was a huge relief she has entered menopause, I can't even stomach the thought of more siblings.

But then, I kind of envy them - their affection for each other. Truthfully, I can't help but wonder what mom saw in dad enough to marry him - sorry to say, I'm not a huge fan of dad's past. Niklaus was a womanizer, and his father, our late grandfather, never liked mom. It just doesn't make sense to me at all. I would never settle down with a man like that.

My eyes unconsciously landed on Neon and a smile widened my lips. Marrying a man like him doesn't sound bad, unlike father, Neon isn't a womanizer, he's kind, hardworking, smart, and handsome. I've seen the way girls at school have been eyeing him hungrily.
