"Sooo, tell me, my baby… Do you have any girlfriends yet?"
"…I am sorry, what?"
Alden muttered in confusion.
What the hell is she talking about?
He had imagined a moment about meeting his long-lost mother like this once or twice before. He had even imagined the things she might say, the questions she might ask but never, in any of those imaginations, had he expected this.
Like, what the hell was going on?
"Ahh, your reaction already answers it." She sighed dramatically as if disappointed. "But then again, your father was the same dense rock as you. So I guess it's not surprising even if you don't have any girlfriends."
Alden frowned.
"Please get to the point and tell me where we are and what did you do to Jeremy? And where is Nyx?"
He wasn't in the mood for jokes.
His first priority was finding Nyx. She had jumped into danger to save him and if anything happened to her because of him… How could he ever forgive himself?
