"Daddy, do you think Sisi will return soon?" Jojo asked while pouting. He ate his meat slowly and sadly. "I miss her so much."
"…" Kael kept his silence for a while before muttering, "She promised to return, and she will."
Kael and Jojo had been waiting for Sisi to return. It had been three days since she departed, and there hadn't been any movement from inside the waterfall.
Kael wanted to swim and check for himself, but then he'd leave Jojo vulnerable here. Besides, the faeries had so many tricks to defend their homeland, and Kael didn't want to offend Sisi's family over his own impatience.
But was he truly impatient after waiting for three days without any news about her?
What if she simply forgot about them because she finally returned to her roots? She might want to stay forever without saying goodbye to them, and even marry a male faerie there!
