Chapter 371

AURORA

“Seraphina, come with me,” I said, glancing at Dane, who was fuming, and Tristan, who kept glaring at Sera as if she’d lost her mind.

Taking Sera’s hand, I pulled her chair to a corner. She sat down, looking up at me with wide, curious eyes. I crouched beside her and gave her a reassuring smile.

“Honey, you’re not in trouble, okay?” I whispered, my heart pounding. “Just tell me what your teacher told you- everything.”

Sera nodded, licking her lips nervously. “Well, he said that if we ever find our parents locked behind closed doors, we shouldn’t disturb, peek, or eavesdrop because… they’re probably performing a ritual to make babies.”

“What?” Dane’s voice boomed behind me, making both Sera and me jump. I turned to see him standing there, wide–eyed, wiping imaginary sweat off his forehead..

I stood up, laughter bubbling out of me. “Well, in a way… he’s not wrong.”

“What?” Tristan exclaimed, mirroring his father’s reaction. His eyes darted between Dane and me, his face a mix of confusion

and shock.

I laughed harder, unable to stop myself.

Dane walked back to Tristan and ruffled his hair, chuckling. “I see you’re starting to act a lot like me, my little champ.”

Tristan swatted Dane’s hand away. “Dad, stop. I’m grown now.”

I shook my head at their banter as I led Sera back to her chair. Taking a seat beside Dane on the desk, I asked, “So, why did you two come here? Have you had dinner?”

Sera nodded eagerly. “We had dinner with Uncle Evander, and then we decided to check on you both.”

“How are you feeling, Tristan?” I asked, running a hand gently over his hair.

Tristan shrugged. “I feel fine. I don’t need those bitter medicines anymore.”

“Oh, yes, you do,” Dane said, pinching his cheek. “You’ll finish all your prescriptions. Is that understood?”

Tristan pouted but nodded reluctantly.
