The Protector (The Return Of The God of War) novel Chapter 3783

Chapter 3783 Floyd Is Here

“G-Gloria, don’t you cry! You’re making me feel terrible.” When Heptino saw Gloria’s red-rimmed eyes, he panicked and felt frustrated for some reason. “You foolish boy. These are tears of joy.”

Gloria wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes. She then straightened Heptino’s robe and brushed away the dust on his shoulder, chiding, “You’re all grown up, yet you still don’t know how to take care of yourself. I can’t help but worry about you! Now that I’m married, I won’t be able to look after you like before. You should take good care of yourself. Don’t drink without eating anything; it’s bad for your stomach. Refrain from taking too many of those pills, too. They contain cinnabar, which isn’t good for your body.”

Tears rolled down Gloria’s cheeks “uncontrollably” as she reminded Heptino about mundane things.

“You should hurry and find a woman who will treat and love you sincerely. Only then will I be able to stop worrying. Today is my big day. You should cheer up, okay? All right, I should greet my guests now. Take care!”

After choking those words out, she turned around and ran away. Heptino felt empty as he watched Gloria’s leaving figure. It was as if he had just lost something.

His chest felt heavy, and no matter how many deep breaths he took, the discomfort would not go away. “Gloria… Gloria…” he mumbled as the lump in his throat grew bigger.

Wanting to wash away the mess in his mind, he lifted the wine bottle to his lips. Yet at the thought of Gloria’s words earlier, he lowered the bottle.

From where he sat, he could see Gloria and Primo toasting the guests in the distance. The sight brought tears to his eyes and made him feel even worse.

He was like a child whose favorite toy was taken away—frustrated yet helpless. Throughout the entire wedding, Heptino acted nothing like himself. Like a soulless man, he remained in a daze almost the whole time.
