Rumors weren’t just rumors

"why are you here….?" Seraphina asked displeased to see Zosia in the green house. Of all people she wanted to see Zosia was the least one

Especially her voluptuous curves, her heavy chest and her milky white skin

"I was wondering, are there other people who farm for their personal use?" Zosia asked and Seraphina frowned "what are you up to?" She asked with a frown settling on her lips

"I want to check out as much farms as I can" Zosia replied indifferently, her lazy eyes held a hint of seduction in it which made Seraphina's scalp tinge "it's a pity the lieutenant always gave his supplies to those two ungrateful siblings" Saoirse sighed as she watched Zosia examine the plants in the greenhouse

"The lieutenant always indulged them! Now winter is coming! How would they survive" a Gwen slapped her thigh dramatically

She truly felt pain for Zosia, if it were her she wouldn't sit still but trouble that shameless Rivana. It was no secret in the base that Rivana as a trouble maker

"Sister…,,, I'm Ryker's wife, if you need anything feel free to ask me" Saoirse introduced herself to Zosia knowing the latter didn't know her "mm" Zosia nodded, though a person like Rivana was insignificant in her eyes. Some people were as stubborn as a dying cockroach

The two women Saoirse and Gwen chatted nonstop as they checked out the mutated plants they wanted to take home with them after work that day

"Lieutenant's wife is so pretty" Gwen giggled as she watched Zosia, her words earned her a glare from Seraphina "are you so free you have time to gossip?"she asked angrily, her eyes tilted to Zosia's form with a hint of killing intent!

"Why are you so concerned Seraphina" Gwen frowned clearly pissed at Seraphina's words

So what if she wasn't an agricultural expert!

Seraphina was only an assistant while she was married to a soldier who was superior to Seraphina's lousy housband

"Let's just continue working, we can visit sister in law later" Saoirse pulled Gwen away to avoid conflicts

Of course she didn't like Seraphina one bit but at the moment their work points was crucial to get additional supplies to last the winter

Like cotton padded clothes, thick's quilts, futons and blankets

Seraphina glared at them before turning to Zosia

So what if Zosia was beautiful?

Was seducing men all it took to have them now?

If she couldn't have him then no one will!

Noon approached, the sun hung over the horizon shining brightly

Zosia having listened to most of their banter straightened up ready to leave the green house

"Isn't it about time you start working for work points? How do you intend to survive the winter or have you no idea what winter is like foreigner?" Irene asked as she walked into the planting area

Her eyes scanned Zosia and her fist clenched under her sleeves

The rumors weren't just rumors they were true!

Zosia was so beautiful it was sinful

"And who are you?" Zosia asked lazily, she want about to banter with a doll

"She's Irene, Riezekiel's betrothed" Seraphina sneered!

So what if she was beautiful

Irene was the one the Mors family chose

At her words however Irene cast her an unamused glance

They indeed had history as love rivals

"Oh…." Zosia chuckled lightly before walking out without a care in the world

Both women were stunned

"And about work points, my husband only wants me to rest at home" she added coldly before leaving the greenhouse

"That bitch!" Irene clenched her jaw and Seraphina snickered softly

She felt a hint of satisfaction seeing Irene at a loss

The Lebron's home was thick with tension

Lebron's chest heaved heavily as he glared daggers at his son

He couldn't believe what he was hearing and seeing, his chest constricted from the influx of emotions

"You've really done well…..my good son!" Lebron smashed the enamel bowl in anger

Lester's jaw tightened stubborn at his fathers rage. Both Leon and Winnie stepped back in fear

"I couldn't lose my wife! Just like we lost mom!" Lester argued defiantly, his fist clenched tightly by his side

Yes he wanted his wife back

He loved her so much and his children

He missed them all

But he would never compromise their safety for anyone!

"Your mother died saving you….. you bastard" Lebron slapped Lester's hard on the face

The crisp sound of the slap echoed in the courtyard

He may be old but his constitution was great!

He was strong as an ox

And that slap which had a strong Qi condensation made Lester's jaw shift

Yet he still stared stubbornly at his father ignoring the stinging pain

"She was going to rush out to face the wolf! A grade nine core wolf" Lester argued fiercely, his eyes reddened as the bloodied corpse of his mother overlapped with Athena's face in his mind

He was scared

He couldn't lose another precious soul

"You've been hunting since your teen's! Even if you can't fight a level nine core wolf you can pull Zosia to safety but you stood there watching like an idiot! If she wasn't strong enough! She'd die" Lebron trembled in anger

Recalling the bloodied bartered form of Zosia which Riezekiel had brought over barely clinging to life

His heart ached even more

He threw some pills into his mouth, which melted immediately to curb his heart attack

"I don't regret it! She's safe now and my wife is safe for your children!" Lester stated

His stubbornness a replica of Lebron's youthful vigor

Stung the old man greatly

It was that same stubbornness that had killed his wife!

"If you hadn't been selfish that day your mother wouldn't have risked her life to save you! Yet you haven't changed a bit since then!" Lebron scoffed in anger

He had lost his wife because of this stupid son

Now he wished more than anything

It had been Lester and not his poor wife!

He had done everything any healer could do to bring her back but the truth was bitter

The mutated spider had harvested her heart and no amount of medicine could bring her back

"Father..." Leon called anxiously as Lebron fell into the seat, his vision blurred significantly

"Don't touch me" Lebron snapped angrily as he clutched his chest

The pain of his wife's death was still fresh even after several years

Lester glanced at his father before turning away

"I won't make another mistake like that ever again in my life" with that he walked away

Lebron stared at the back of his son with burning rage

"Grandpa…."jasmine called softly but Lebron merely stood up and walked to the house

His thoughts mangled as grief consumed him
