Damon’s eyes flashed open in anger. He was fine ignoring the annoying woman, but he would never allow her to talk to his women in this way. However, before he could react, a pair of black hands appeared around Georgina’s neck.
"You might be my sister-in-law, but she is my sister. You need to watch your mouth and how you speak and treat others. You have no idea what is going on around you. You didn’t complain when you enjoyed Damon’s special benefits and all the gold coins he gave you. But now that there is a little inconvenience, your tongue is wagging?"
Georgina struggled, and Aurora immediately let her go. "If I catch you talking shit about my husband or anyone else in our family again..." Aurora smiled, but she had those sort of crazy eyes which made Georgina immediately shut up.
Aurora then turned to Damon’s mom and immediately apologized. "I am sorry, mother. I did not mean to step out of line and speak so rudely in front of you."
Damon’s mother stood frozen, nodding with a strange expression on her face. She did have some doubts about the many women circling around Damon, but she never actually thought that they would all be living together in some sort of understanding.
She felt a headache coming. What were the youngsters up to these days? She looked at her son, and Damon immediately turned to look in another direction with an innocent face. His mother’s lips twitched. So much had happened, and this son of hers had kept her completely in the dark!
Thankfully, Damon’s father stepped in to help him. "Let’s not meddle with the younger generation’s affairs. Aurora, can you bring back something good for your mother to cook after your training?" He smiled.
Aurora’s deadly expression evaporated instantly, replaced by a bright, wholesome smile that could have fooled the heavens. "Of course, Father!" she chirped, as if she hadn’t just threatened to strangle someone ten seconds ago. "I’ll bring back something tasty and exotic! Maybe something with lots of legs! Or eyes! Or both!"
Both parents laughed awkwardly at the response. "Thank you, dear." Damon’s father finally said.
Seeing Aurora becoming very close with Damon’s parents, Kate as well did not stay quiet. "I will also bring you something good, mother." She quickly added.
Damon’s mother once again laughed awkwardly and nodded.
Then there was Lirae. Perhaps because her appearance was different, she felt a lot more intimidating and formal. "Please bless me, mother and father. I will also bring adequate tribute."
Damon’s mother blinked rapidly. Tribute? Bless me? She wasn’t sure whether to feel honored, confused, or mildly terrified. Damon’s father, on the other hand, nodded with the serene acceptance of a man who had long ago surrendered his sanity to his children’s life choices.
"Ah... yes. Tribute is fine," he said gently, like he was speaking to a wild animal he didn’t want to startle.
Lirae bowed her head with the solemnity of a priestess receiving a divine decree. "I will not disappoint."
Georgina, still rubbing her neck, stared at the three women in disbelief. Was she the only one who saw how insane all of this was? John patted her shoulder with dead eyes, silently begging her to stop talking forever.
Meanwhile, Aurora had already sidled up next to Damon, clinging to his arm like nothing had happened. "Hubby," she whispered proudly, "Mother and Father like me."
Damon’s lips twitched. "You nearly killed my sister-in-law."
Aurora blinked innocently. "Only a little."
