I transmigrated and got a husband and a son!-Chapter 1221: Can I go to her now?
Chapter 1221: Can I go to her now?
"Hera, I know things have their importance and fighting isn’t the right thing to do right now." Elliot stood tall in front of Dominic, looking at her fiercely.
"We all fought the same war, and you should talk about your grievances peacefully." Lukas also exuded an aura that was ready to diffuse any explosive action from Hera.
Hera stopped in her tracks a little, arching a brow while darting her eyes between the two. Since they were blocking Dominic, her expression instantly turned dark.
At the same time, a pair of hands slipped in between Elliot and Lukas. Dominic shoved their heads to the side, creating a way for himself. Seeing his action, Hera grinned and leaped toward him.
"Darling~!"
Much to Lukas and Elliot’s dismay, just when they thought she would throw a punch at Dominic, what they saw filled their thought bubble with question marks. The second she stepped into Dominic’s vicinity, she jumped him.
She wrapped her legs around his waist, her arms found their spots on his shoulder. Dominic, on the other hand, carried her without a problem.
"You’re light," said Dominic, his lips stretching until his teeth were on full display.
Hera bit her lips to stop herself from grinning like a fool. However, the shimmer in her eyes was something no one had ever seen before. They were twinkling, almost as if her heart was placed in her eyes and they were beating really fast.
Was this truly the Hera Cruel everyone knew about?
"What... what’s going on?" Elliot gasped in horror.
Seeing how Dominic and Hera clung to each other didn’t seem like they would fight. If anything, the two seemed they were ready to wrestle, but not the kind of wrestle one would think.
Lukas was just as confused. "??"
Their question was immediately answered when Hera leaned her face down, planting a soft and long peck on Dominic’s lips. When she drew her head back, both of them beamed.
"Ah, shit!" Primo rose from his seat as he couldn’t take the cringe anymore, only to feel a hand on his shoulder and push him down. He gasped, gazing up, only to see Wolf smirking at him.
"I can’t kill you anymore, but I was hopeful you’d die of cringe," Wolf smirked deviously, jerking his chin toward the lovers. "Go watch."
"I don’t want to see this." Joker cocked his head back with eyes tightly closed. "Now that I think about it, I should’ve trusted Moose when he said she’s fine."
"Next time, listen to the professional," Fig commented, clapping his hand faintly as he was happy for Hera. "Way to go, Hera! Show him who you are."
Tiger, on the other hand, just smiled subtly. Seeing that Dominic and Hera reunited, he knew he would never hear her bedroom fantasies about Dominic.
Ram was just pleased to see her so happy. ’Now that I see her, I am... I am at peace.’ His eyes softened, raising his brows as he caught a figure at the end of the hallway. When he turned, his smile stretched as he caught Bear staring in their direction.
Bear glanced at the lovers, and one could see that he heaved a sigh of relief.
Nigel, who was standing behind Bear, peeked from behind. Deep lines appeared between his brows when he saw Hera clinging to Dominic like a monkey.
"Huh?" Nigel rubbed his eyes a bit. "Am I seeing it correctly?"
Back to the main highlight of the "confusion," Hera cupped his face. Dominic kept his head cocked back a little, staring at her up close.
"You’re very pretty," he remarked quietly. "I didn’t get a good look the last time."
"I am a steal, am I?" she humored with a giggle.
"Mhm. I just realized I can’t let you out of my line of sight. Someone might steal you away."
Her grin broadened, tightening her arms around his shoulders.
At this moment, it felt like there were just the two of them. They could kiss or hug or just go straight to bed. However, there was something they quietly agreed on. They wanted to take this moment to look at each other and let things sink in.
This wasn’t a dream.
They needed a moment to process this, to make sure this was something they wouldn’t wake up from.
"Wait!" Elliot recovered from his shock, pointing a finger at the two. "What is going on here?! Weren’t you at odds?!"
"Huh?"
Hera furrowed her brows and reluctantly averted her eyes to Elliot. "Darling, what is this guy spewing?"
"Ah." Dominic rocked his head, looking back at Elliot. "I forgot to tell him and Mr. Silvers."
"Tell us, what?" Lukas frowned.
"That we’re in love?" Hera leaned her head closer to Dominic like a cat, eyes still on Lukas and Elliot. "And that we’re planning to get married, have ten more babies, and grow old together?"
Elliot opened and closed his mouth, retracing every little encounter he had with Dominic and Hera. Hera rarely spoke of Dominic, but Dominic’s reaction whenever Hera was mentioned was fierce. He knew he didn’t misunderstand what he saw, but right now, his mind couldn’t help but question his judgment.
"Don’t worry, Mr. Dunkell. You didn’t misunderstand anything," Hera chuckled evilly. "My darling simply knows how to deceive people. So, if he wants to make you believe we’re enemies, then that’s what you’re going to see!"
"I apologize, Mr. Dunkell." Dominic sighed faintly. "Hera and I are being careful because of our children. So, we thought it was better if people knew we were enemies than allies. Having her as my enemy guarantees our safety, but if her enemies knew we are allies, it’ll be a lot more complicated."
"Anyway, let’s discuss things later. My wife and I need some time alone." Dominic shamelessly disregarded Elliot and Lukas’s surprise as he faced his beloved. "My room or yours?"
"Anywhere! Wherever the nearest!"
"Your room."
With that being said, Hera clung to him like a monkey while Dominic marched toward her ward. He didn’t even cast the reapers a glance but rather gazed at Moose.
"She can’t..." Moose ran his tongue across his inner cheek, knowing his professional advice would only be ignored. "Be gentle not to exhaust yourselves. If your wounds open up, I’ll just stitch it back."
"Thanks!" Hera excitedly remarked before Dominic kicked the door closed, letting everyone hear the click as he locked the door.
"Man..." Primo sighed, staring at the door in defeat. "I need a lovelife now."
Joker and Fig nodded in agreement. They couldn’t just live the rest of their lives eating this unpleasant dog food!
"Goodness." Axel darted his eyes between Elliot and Lukas. Seeing their faces, someone has to feel sorry for them. "Hey, you two, why don’t you come with me and discuss some important matters? I know their relationship is a shock, but there are more pressing matters you two need to think about rather than wondering what those two are going to do inside that room."
Elliot and Lukas looked back at Axel, still looking shocked as if they saw a ghost.
"What a bunch of fools."
"Did they think if they were actually enemies, Dominic is still alive?"
"They probably think she’s an angel."
"More like an angel of death."
When Elliot and Lukas started hearing the reaper’s comments as they also dispersed, they decided to listen to Axel. Who would want to listen to what the reapers have to say?!
As they left the hallway one by one, giving Hera and Dominic the privacy they needed, Tiger remained seated all alone.
His eyes were cast down, and his mind was drifting elsewhere. His usually lazy visage showed concern as his jaw tightened, thinking about something.
’Can I... can I go to her now?’
