The Duke's Passion

Chapter 745 No time to idle

"You are a mess." Klaus stood on the futon where Lilou and Law were sitting on. His hands were on his hips, sighing for the umpteenth time. Lilou had been weeping while her son was consoling her by patting her back. "I'm so ashamed of myself. While I'm playing house here, my daughter... my poor baby is caught up in a crossfire." Lilou's voice was shaky, wiping her tears with the handkerchief Law handed her. She blew her nose, unable to stop the tears from flooding her eyes. "My poor baby... I won't forgive myself if something happened to her." Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om

"Mother..." Law called worriedly, teary-eyed. This was the first time Law had seen Lilou weep so dramatically. Hence, his heart ached for her. "Sunny will be fine." Klaus breathed out. "Tilly will not leave her alone on the mainland if she doesn't trust Sunny. Moreover, whose daughter do you think she is?" Klaus wasn't used to consoling someone, but he was trying his best. He sauntered towards Lilou, sitting in the armchair next to the futon. "Lilou, you need to get it together. If you really want this to be over, we have to keep moving forward," he continued solemnly. "I'm sorry to say this, but we don't have the leisure to look back. Whoever is responsible for the downfall of the royal family on the mainland is moving at a lightning speed. They are already a step ahead of us. We can't afford to let the gap widen."

Lilou hiccuped, gazing at Klaus. The latter sighed deeply once more, running his fingers through his hair. "Mother, Sunny will be alright." This time, Law reassured Lilou. "I'm also worried about her, but she's more capable than she looks. She might be young, but I'm certain Sunny already went to Tilly's big brother. Maybe she's already there. Who knows?"

Lilou slowly set her eyes on Law, feeling sorry for her son. She wordlessly pulled Law into her embrace, patting his back. "I'm sorry you have to go through this," she whispered, rubbing his trembling back. "I'm sorry."

"Thank you, Klaus."

He let out a brief chuckle. "Not a big deal." With that being said, Klaus sauntered off and opened the door. As soon as he did, his eyes fell on Samael, standing right outside the door. "She said come in." Klaus tipped his head inside the chambers, taking a step to the side to give way to Samael. "Don't make her cry more. I'll kill you."

Samael simply cast him a look but he didn't retort. Instead, he stepped inside silently while Klaus went out. Closing the door behind him, Klaus looked back at the shut door. "Seriously... just how confident is he about his children?" Klaus mumbled, shaking his head mildly. "But well, I think that child, Sunny, is one capable young lady. It's more like she isn't Lilou and Hell's child, but Fabian and Tilly's."

Klaus walked away, tossing whatever idea he had in his head. However, as he waltzed through the hallway, his eyes glinted dangerously. 'There were still two Claude...' he told himself, knowing the existence of two Claudes. 'We don't have time to idle.'
