Chapter 1389 - 37: Meeting the Mother-in-law (Part 4)
"Rafael, there’s something in the Praying Tower that requires your attention."Fisher glanced at Kexier, noticing the dust and dirt on her body. If he guessed it right, this urgent report actually came from the military camp outside the Dragon Court, and not from the Praying Tower at all.
But surely Rafael didn’t want Aunt Yaril to worry, and the order was to be carried out, and Kexier kept this in mind.
"I..."
Rafael was slightly stunned at the words, she glanced at Fisher beside her and Yaril behind her, who had returned with water and looked perplexed, showing a bit of hesitation.
"Is something wrong, Rafael, has something big happened again?"
"Not really... just some matters in the Dragon Court. Although not serious, I still need to go, I can’t leave everything for Moli to handle, right?"
"True, Rafael, over these years Moli has been tirelessly devoted to our Dragon Court. She originally had nothing to do with all this, yet she has given wholeheartedly and selflessly, you must remember that..."
"Ah, of course... I remember."
Rafael opened her mouth, her expression somewhat awkward, but she quickly adjusted it, stood up, and said to Yaril,
"Then Mother, I’ll take Fisher and leave now, we have some things to attend to, we’ll come to see you another day."
"You go ahead, why take Fisher with you? Could he assist you in handling matters before others? Also, it’s the first time I’ve seen my son-in-law, and you haven’t yet told me about your story together..."
"This..."
Rafael glanced at Fisher, seemingly seeking his opinion.
And Fisher glanced at Yaril, then smiled and said,
"In that case, let me stay here and chat with Aunt Yaril, it’s fine, Rafael."
Yaril looked at Fisher happily, clearly pleased with what he said.
And Rafael looked at Yaril, then at Fisher, this harmonious scene made her gradually set aside her worries, and she finally nodded, saying to Yaril,
"Then Mother... let Fisher stay here with you, he’s very knowledgeable, knows many things, certainly won’t disappoint you... I have some matters to attend to, I’ll be back once I’m done."
"Okay, you go ahead, Rafael."
Yaril smiled and nodded, watching Rafael as she left the Ancestral Court with Kexier, slowly departing beyond the Flower Garden.
Fisher watched Rafael slowly leave, making the atmosphere in the Flower Garden slightly silent, leaving only the scent of flowers as company.
Fortunately, the gentle and understanding mother-in-law Yaril wasn’t one skilled at creating awkward pauses and was a pressure-free elder, as her gaze gently shifted from her daughter leaving at the far end of the sea of flowers, then she smiled and looked at Fisher, who was still in front of her.
She softly pushed the cup of tea infused with fragrant leaves toward Fisher, and gently drew his gaze and attention back,
"Fisher, have some tea."
"Ah, thank you."
Fisher turned his head to face Yaril across the table, taking the tea she offered graciously, enjoying her hospitality very gentlemanly.
Yaril also had tea in front of her, but she only took a sip and then put it down, resting her hands quietly on her lap, watching Fisher enjoy the tea.
She examined Fisher for quite a while, until his slowly consumed tea was almost finished, she suddenly spoke,
"Fisher, I want to ask your opinion..."
"No need for politeness, Aunt Yaril, please go ahead, what’s the question?"
"The intimate relationship between you and our Priest Moli, how do you intend to handle it?"
Behind Yaril, the entire wall of candles began to flicker, as if trying to set ablaze that subtle flower fragrance.
Fisher’s movement of putting down the teacup also slightly froze, his expression dazed as he looked at the smiling yet increasingly serious mother-in-law in front of him.
At this moment, only one thought occupied Fisher’s mind: if, he means if...
If he were to say now that he wanted to leave with Rafael, would mother-in-law agree?
