Talina looked up in confusion. She was a little bewildered. Russell's incomprehensible words made her a little confused. Why did he apologize for no reason?
"Sorry, Mom is so selfish..."
Talina's ignorant eyes hurt Russell. Her heart, which had become as hard as iron due to political struggles, melted under Talina's gaze and turned into a pool of spring water.
"Huh? Why do you say that? Mom is the best mom in the world. She's not selfish at all!"
I don’t know why Russell suddenly became like this, but Talina still put her hand on Russell’s face and comforted him.
After hearing this, Russell could no longer suppress the guilt in his heart.
Hot tears flowed from his eyes and dripped onto Talina's hands, burning her. Talina, at a loss, wiped Russell's tears anxiously.
"Don't, don't cry, Mom! What's wrong? If you have anything sad, you can tell me!"
However, the more Talina did this, the more guilty Russell felt.
In the power struggle within the CSRC, it is impossible to gain a foothold without strong means, and there is no exception whether you are a woman or a man.
Accustomed to using everything he has as bargaining chips to exchange for what he wants, Russell has bid farewell to his past self.
She used to be the brave and fearless leader of the Knights who dared to attack the Ursus army with more than 40 people and wiped out 3000 enemies.
But now, she is just an aging woman.
"I'm sorry, Mom shouldn't have used your happiness as compensation. Mom was wrong. Mom apologizes to you."
After pulling out all his previous thoughts, Russell stopped crying and began to communicate with Talina.
She remembered what Viviana had said to her in the morning. If she didn't tell Talina in advance, the child would probably be scared.
Russell, who was kept in the dark, had no idea that Viviana had already told Talina about her feelings. The only thing left in the relationship between the two was to break through the thin film of knowledge that was known to both parties.
"Mom wants to tell you something, okay?"
He straightened Talina's small body facing Russell and combed her messy hair.
"What do you think of Viviana..."
It was difficult to ask this question. The relatively conservative Russell really couldn't say the word "like", so he could only use a less obvious word.
"Sister? Sister is sister!"
She was just about to forget everything that happened last night, but now someone brought it up in front of her. Talina was a little panicked, but she concealed it very well and didn't let Russell see it.
Talina said her answer against her will and clasped her hands together in a tangled way.
How to watch? She watched while lying down!
She couldn't accept the deterioration of family affection. The only thing she could do was to pretend not to see it and get along with each other as a family as before.
In addition, because of what happened during this period, she has developed an unfounded fear about her future partner. Instead of finding a girl to be with, she would rather be alone.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will walk to the end of her life alone.
But her special physique makes her exude an alluring scent all the time, just like the pheromones between insects, attracting girls.
The experiment in the Locke water tank destined her to be unable to be alone in peace and quiet. Whether it was because of the potion or her own wishes, she was destined to be surrounded by people.
"No, what I mean is, it is..."
After stumbling for a long time, Russell still couldn't say the word.
She is the head of the family, not Viviana's matchmaker, and Talina is also her child, so she is caught in the middle, caught between a rock and a hard place.
The palms and backs of her hands are all flesh, what can she do?
"Forget it! I'll tell you myself when Viviana comes back! Don't worry, no matter what choice you make, Mom will stand by you."
Russell gave up the idea of confessing to Talina, and the guilt he had accumulated in his heart disappeared a little as he talked about it.
She expressed more apologies and planned to make amends with the future.
"It's okay, Mom!"
Talina, who had escaped a disaster by accident, felt a little relieved. She thought that Russell knew what happened last night.
"Let mommy hold you for a while!"
"No! Mommy smells like cigarettes!"
Although she said no, Talina still leaned on Russell obediently.
“I’ve already quit!”
Russell took out an unopened cigarette box from his pocket and threw it into the trash can in front of Talina, along with the lighter, and eliminated them from his life.
goo~
An embarrassing sound came from between the two of them, and Talina buried her head in embarrassment.
"What do you want to eat? Mom will make it for you!"
After patting Talina's head, Russell took her off his body and prepared to go make something to eat for the little bird that had been hungry for a day.
"I like to eat anything my mother cooks!"
.........
Pushing open the door, Viviana walked in exhausted.
The Sanhua Knights have had a lot going on lately, so as the leader, she has naturally become very busy. In addition, she also has to take time out during the day to participate in some competitions, so her schedule is quite tight.
The feathers on her chest floated slowly with her movements, brushing against her skin and bringing some comfort to her tired body after training.
The unique scent of Talina on the feathers made Viviana move much faster. She couldn't wait to see Talina.
Last night, she couldn't control herself because of jealousy and did some excessive things, which made her feel a little disgusted with her own rude behavior.
Did she regret it? Or would she just watch Talina drift further and further away from her?
She can't.
She couldn't give Talina up to him.
Qingmei can't beat the one who comes from the sky?
joke!
Blindly giving in will only make her lose the person she loves. In order to get Tarina, what's wrong with using some extreme means?
"Are you back? Hurry up and wash your hands and eat!"
Wearing an apron, Talina came out of the kitchen carrying dishes. When she saw Viviana, she greeted her happily, just like before.
Vivianna watched Talina's natural movements and felt keenly that something was wrong.
She did something so excessive to Talina yesterday. Logically, Talina's attitude towards her should have dropped to freezing point, or at least treated her coldly.
She was ready and was not afraid even if Russell broke her bones.
But...what is this?
He wanted to raise his hand to call out to Talina, but Talina turned around and walked into the kitchen as if she was prepared.
Forget it, I'll have a frank talk with everyone at the dinner table later.
Anyway, what is coming will come, right?
Taking off her coat and hanging it on the coat rack at the door, Viviana followed Talina into the kitchen.
PS: The characters in this book are all adults, please do not make random assumptions, the final right of interpretation belongs to me (
Ahem, make a patch, hey~
Volume 2: Chapter 56: Why have my eyes changed?
At the dinner table, Talina was unusually lively and chatted freely with Russell and Viviana.
Viviana tried several times to bring the topic back to her and Talina, but Talina subtly led her away and onto another topic.
Seeing that dinner was about to end, the anxious Viviana interrupted Talina. Unable to hide her thoughts, she brought up the question from the morning again in front of Talina and Russell.
Russell was fine, as he had prepared in advance, so he didn't look surprised. But it was different for Talina. She hadn't expected this and quickly ran to Viviana, trying to cover her mouth that kept saying shocking words.
"No! Viviana! Don't!"
Talina covered Viviana's mouth and looked towards Russell, paying attention to Russell's expression.
Not knowing that Viviana had already confronted Russell, she was worried that Viviana's legs would be broken by the furious Russell, so she hurriedly took her own remedial measures.
Any normal family would be angry if their cub got tangled up. Talina was worried about this, so she came to stop Viviana.
She doesn't want Viviana to have to live in a wheelchair in the future!
"Let her speak."
Putting down his dishes, Russell picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth.
Did tonight's meal seem a little bland? Is it because I haven't cooked in a while and my cooking skills are a bit rusty?
"But mom..."
"Don't worry, I know everything!"
"Eh!!!"
Hearing this, Talina gave up trying to block Viviana's mouth and ran to Russell, hugging her tightly.
"Mom! You, you, please be gentle! Don't leave her disabled! My sister still has to earn money to support the family! At least, at least leave her a leg!"
Viviana:???
"What are you thinking about! She already told me this morning. Now she's just asking for your opinion. So, what do you think?"
To prevent Talina from thinking too much, Russell stood behind her and acted as her shield.
"Don't worry, no one can force you if you don't want to!"
After saying that, Russell looked at Viviana, and the meaning expressed in his eyes was very clear.
You'd better behave yourself! If you dare to play any tricks, you won't be able to stand for the rest of your life!
"Don't worry, as long as you don't stop me, I won't do anything out of line."
Viviana made a promise. In her opinion, as long as Russell did not stand against her and give assists to Margaret, she would be completely willing to compete fairly with Margaret.
She was sure she could hold Talina firmly in her hands.
"But, but...Aren't we family? Why..."
Tarina hadn't made up her mind about this question yet. She had decided to forget what happened last night (Friday night). She had no idea that there was still a disaster waiting for her.
"Technically speaking, we are all adopted children by our mother. You can rest assured about this matter."
Taking out a folded paper from her pocket, Viviana unfolded it in front of the two of them and handed it to Russell.
"This is the document I asked the Casimir Household Registration Department to issue. As long as you give me the nod, I can open an account independently. I'm an adult and fully qualified to start a family."
Russell took Viviana's file and started looking through it.
As a public official of Casimir, she certainly knew whether the seal on the paper was genuine. After checking it, she handed the paper to Talina.
"What about you? Talina? What do you think?"
Softly asking Talina for her opinion, Russell was somewhat shocked by his eldest daughter's preparations.
The process of opening a separate account has already been completed before anything has been done.
"I, I don't know. I'm sorry. I don't know!"
Flustered, Talina dropped the documents in her hand and ran upstairs.
"tower..."
"sit down!"
Viviana wanted to hold Talina back, but was stopped by Russell.
After looking at Talina's back unwillingly, Viviana finally sat down obediently.
In front of Russell, she always had to keep her head down, and that natural suppressive force made Viviana unable to move.
"Since Tarina isn't ready yet, please restrain your behavior. If I find out you dare to bully her, you know the consequences."
He stood up and left, and Russell followed him upstairs, leaving Viviana alone.
Sitting quietly there, Viviana's deep eyes were extremely calm.
