Chapter 562 – Wasted Time?

The hug continued for several seconds.

"Father, this is getting embarrassing," Yersi said.

"Oh, sure," Gravis said as he let them go. "Sorry, I just missed you so much. Seeing the way that you acted made me fear for your life, and I just wanted to hug you."

"It's okay, father," Yersi said again. "It also felt… nice? To me, I mean," Yersi said, though she felt a bit uncomfortable saying it.

Aris wrestled with himself. He felt like he should also say that it felt nice, but he just felt too embarrassed to say it. Meanwhile, Cera appeared unsure.

Gravis noticed all of their reactions. 'Interesting. Yersi and Aris seem quite susceptible to human emotions, but Cera isn't. Maybe the beast part in her is more dominant than the human part. Well, I can't force her to feel like a human. It's her decision.'

"Now, tell me, how have you been?" Gravis asked with a smile.
