The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 65

‘How bad was it?’ Lucianne wondered as she watched Xandar’s handsome face show a visible streak of discomfort at the mention of Aunt Charlotte.

Xandar took a breath before he said, “Whenever I visited, she would sit me down and ask how many girls I’ve slept with in the past week, or how many girls I’ve ever taken out on a date, how many drinks can I handle before I got drunk, who and how many have willingly stripped in front of me. Her face showed that it was fun for her to ask these things but to be on the receiving end of those questions was just…” Xandar shook his head in disapproval, annoyance and dismay before he said,(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) “I am so glad I don’t have to deal with her anymore. That was the one funeral I attended in pure happiness.”

“Oh wow. That was bad.” Lucianne muttered, and had to shake her head to bring herself out from what she had just heard. Something came to her mind, and she cocked her head to one side as she asked, “Didn’t your parents find such questions inappropriate? Didn’t Uncle Conrad?”

Xandar sighed and responded in disappointment, “No. They kept insisting that Aunt Charlotte was only being friendly and was only teasing. But really, these are too inappropriate and uncivilized to be considered as jokes! Aunt Reida threw a fit when I told her. Granpa Brock tried to ask Uncle Conrad to persuade his mate to stop but that only made things worse. After that, Aunt Charlotte would just ask why I was being so secretive about the things she was asking.” Xandar groaned in frustration and whisper-yelled, “It was not a goddess damn secret! It was a very crazy line of inappropriate questions that one shouldn’t be asking anyone! Especially not one’s own nephew!”

Lucianne shook her head in dismay as she absorbed Xandar’s words, “What a creature.” After a moment, Lucianne asked in curiosity, “What’s Greg’s parents like? Are they still alive or?”

Xandar shook his head, “His mother passed on from a blood disorder. His father died about a decade later in a car accident. Greg was already an independent adult by then so there wasn’t an issue of custody and guardianship, thank Goddess. Otherwise, my father would’ve willingly taken him in and I’d have to live with him and that irritating mouth of his.”

Lucianne nodded in response, “That was a very interesting conversation.”

Xandar scoffed. He then fixed his soft gaze on Lucianne and said, “Now, babe, it’s your turn.”

“What?” Lucianne looked up from her plate in confusion.
