Chapter 43

Hunter kept staring at the sup on the coffee table. The words Margret said repeated all over again. The reason she ran away was because of his parents. They had threatened her to leave for his punishment. His punishment was because of his past reputation as a fuckboy.

They wanted him to be punished by distancing her for a few centuries? Anastasia snapped, he had never seen so mad. "How can they punish him by banishing her?!" She cursed her parents for being so cruel. They were sick in the brains!

The only hole in this was why they didn't stop him from sending scouts? Was it because they wanted the old officials gone forever and they wanted new ones in the court? If the scouts found and captured her, did they know he'll never let her go? Or were they oblivious to it or just acting dumb?

That was his past self-thoughts. He didn't want to seem like those toxic male leads in some romance novels. If she wanted to leave, he won't stop her. When she was gone, he had grown into a better person. He was mad and thankful to his parents. They made him into a better person, but their way is cruel as fuck.

Currently, Daphne and his sister were arguing because of him, it was more like a one-sided argument. "Was them ignoring him before not enough to punish him? Bringing him to tears every night was no enough for them?!" Anna slammed her hands on the table for the hundredth time.

Daphne sighed "I know but they had a reason."

"Was bringing him to tears every night seems a good reason to you? It seems like a cruel reason to me! He had finally had an established relationship and was not addicted to sex, yet they had to ruin it!"

The old witch stood up and raised her hands "fine! When you get home, tell your parents! I may be their messenger but that doesn't mean I'm your parent!"

"Fine! I guess we'll have a good, long talk with them then! Also, you are my stepmother!" Anna slammed the door behind her. Hunter set down the cup and nibbled his bottom lip.

He gazed at the other vampire in the room. Margret looked so guilty when she was explaining before. Right now she was staring into nothing. Should he initiate a conversation or something? Nope, he has become more awkward over the past centuries. Magret you do the honors.

Daphne announced she would be leaving to pick up his sister. she got lost and needed help. For the love of God, why?!

So it was both of them alone in the apartment. He gathered up his courage "hi." Shit, that came out like a squeak. She smiled "hello." Crack went his heart. Did she stranger-zone him? Chibi Hunter cried in the corner, with his back turned to the cruel world.

And the silence continued. He juggled the cup and nearly dropped it when she spoke up "I'm sorry."

"Why?"

"I-"

"It's not your fault, it's my parents' fault." She sighed and sat with him on the couch. He could see tears well up in her eyes "if you want to end this relationship, do it now!" She choked on her words. Tears welled up in his eyes too "I thinking of asking that to you."

"What?" She looked in shock. "I thought you wanted to end us."

He came a little closer to her and cupped her face. "Can we start over?" She smiled "yes please." he didn't want another word and kissed her. She kissed him back.

I feel so single lmao.

The door opened but they kept making out on the couch. Daphne sighed dreamily "ah~ young love."

"Blech!" Anna cringed and slammed the door again.
