Lahat ng Kabanata ng Luna's Revenge: Willow Baker's Marriage Request: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Maverick Peterson POVI slammed my fist against the table, jostling the contents of our meal. Fortunately, nothing spilled, though it had been close, but that wasn't what occupied my mind. Rather, my focus was on Willow, who fell silent and held a hand against her head as her face pinched in confusion. I wasn't the only one.My mother and brother had grim expressions as they turned their gaze from Willow to my father. On the other hand, my father didn't seem at all perturbed by the attention. Instead, his focus was solely on Willow.Asa glared back as she babbled away. Her intelligence was remarkable for an infant that hadn't reached six months. She had deduced what had actually happened and was upset over it, as she should be.The use of magic on family members outside of healing or helping was something looked down upon, yet my father dared to use his magic to compel Willow to give him the answers he was lo

Willow Baker POVIt was exactly as I had suspected. He was here to tell me that the marriage wasn't going to happen and kick me out while keeping Asa in his care.My hands curled into fists in my lap underneath the table, and I bit the inside of my cheek. I made sure to keep my thoughts out of my expression so it wouldn't be obvious that I knew what he was planning to say. Even if I didn't like what was going to happen, I wanted to hear it coming straight from his mouth.I silently cursed my powerlessness. Even after being given this second chance by the Moon Goddess, I still couldn't accomplish anything. It was a waste on her part, and I didn't know why she even bothered to give me this second chance, no matter how grateful I was."I currently have the papers in my office, but I wanted to go over the details with you before we go through with this plan," he said.Caught off guard, all I could do w

Maverick Peterson POV'That went well.'Instead of responding to Shadow, I combed through my hair with one hand as I headed for my father's office. I hoped my father would give me answers to what he was thinking at dinner so I could put Willow's concerns to rest. It would be problematic if she decided to take things into her own hands.'If she tries something like what she did at the border, it will make a huge mess.''I kind of want to see that happen, not going to lie. Seeing her act submissive is wrong.'I felt the same, though I didn't voice this to Shadow. Given everything that I had presumed happened to her, I had expected she would be less trusting and more aggressive, violent, and relentless.The former was still true, but for the latter, it was strangely absent. I had only seen her act out twice, with one of them occurring before she had realized who I

Willow Baker POVEveryone stared at her, wondering if she was joking. She wasn't joking."Sheila, do you understand what you're suggesting?" asked Rickey."I already have a wife," Jason said.This time, everyone's attention turned to Jason. Realizing what he just said, he shut his mouth and wilted under the Grand Duchess's intense gaze."Jason, dear, what do you mean you have a wife?" she asked as she snapped her fan shut to reveal a stiff smile.Jason caved in right away and explained he had fallen in love with someone in the grand duchy. They had gotten married in secret and actually had a child on the way.'Wow. That sounds exactly like the story you're trying to spin.''This is definitely awkward.'I couldn't recall Jason being married in my previous life. The only person who had been married was Maverick, which was why he became the

Willow Baker POVA Few Hours LaterI smiled stiffly at the woman in front of me. When I said it would be great to get to know her, I didn't mean I wanted to see her right away. I still hadn't mentally prepared myself to see her. This was the person Maverick ended up marrying, even if it was only to protect the family after all.While I hadn't seen or heard about what she looked like, she had to be beautiful to make Jason fall in love with her at first sight. She had to be an amazing person for him to decide to marry her without telling anyone, though I did wonder why they got married in secret.Seeing her up front, I would definitely say she was lovely. Long, flowing red hair framed her angelic face, and warm brown eyes shone with pure happiness. She didn't seem to notice my discomfort or the weird atmosphere surrounding us, and she smiled brightly at us."Hello, it's ni
