The word 'Family' ward her heart. Who would have thought that fate would bring them together, reuniting them despite what happened in the past?
Titania burst out. Her tears just continued to fall like raindrops. Her body was trembling as she sobbed nonstop, robbing her of the ability to speak.
Zu Wan could no longer bear to see her cry. He gathered her in his arms, hugging her while stroking her hair. He wanted to comfort her.
"Shhhh… don't cry anymore. We cleared the misunderstanding already. You should be happy as you are now reunited with your niece."
Titania bobbed her head, still crying in his arms. Zu Wan just let her cry until she got tired. Titania was very emotional tonight. Before he realized it, she had already fallen asleep in his embrace.
Zu Wan sighed helplessly. He let her lie down, tucking her on the bed. Titania was still naked, so he just covered her body with the thick comforter.
Zu Wan left his room, allowing Titania to sleep comfortably. When he got out of his room, FaMo approached him with a curious look in his eyes.
"How did it go, Master?" FaMo was now back to talking cat. He was not communicating to him through a mind link since no other people could hear them. Titania already knew about FaMo so no need to hide that he could talk– A Talking Black Cat (=^-^=)
Zu Wan took another deep sigh, motioning FaMo to follow him in the living area. The two sat down on the couch.
"She fell asleep. We cleared the misunderstanding. She was glad to know that Zhen-Zhen is her niece."
"That's nice, Master. But why do you look gloomy? What's wrong Master? Are you bothered by sothing?"
Zu Wan just shook his head, refusing to talk. But FaMo, who beca a nosy cat after living in this world, would not stop until Zu Wan would share his burden with him.
"Hmm, Master! I think I know what you are thinking!" FaMo declared enthusiastically, his eyes glowing as if he was able to figure him out.
Zu Wan frowned, wondering what FaMo was referring to.
"Really? So what do you think I am thinking of at this mont?" Zu Wan raised his eyebrow, giving FaMo a challenging look.
FaMo rubbed his chin using his paw before speaking his mind.
"I think you are confused with your feelings right now." He said speculatively.
"Confused? Why?" Zu Wan probed.
"Because of Titania! You are confused about your feelings for her since she had the sa face as Eva. You also felt guilty for being intimate with Titania. But you couldn't stop yourself." FaMo continued his deduction and observation, sharing his opinion with his master.
"You feel like you are cheating with your late wife, Eva. But at the sa ti, you feel sorry for Titania as you are using her to fill the gaps in your heart caused by your yearning and longing for Eva."
Zu Wan was stupefied as FaMo hit the bullseye. He couldn't believe that FaMo could see through him. But it was not a surprise since FaMo and him were connected. They could feel each other's emotions.
"Is this what you learn here, Black fire?" Zu Wan looked at him with a straight face.
FaMo shut his mouth, covering it using paws. It seed that his master didn't want to talk about this matter.
But thinking that Zhen-Zhen would be his backup support, FaMo opened his mouth again as he wanted to help his master by talking this out with him.
"Master, you didn't do this intentionally. Human heart is very unpredictable."
Zu Wan squinted his eyes at him. "But I am not a human."
FaMo patted his master's hand using his paw and said, "Master, you are not a human but you have the heart of a human. You changed a lot after eting Eva. And I know Eva is now happy to see you reunited with your daughter and to her twin sister."
"Master, Eva will not get mad at you just because you touch and kiss her sis–"
"FAMO!" Zu Wan's warning voice was heard. He was looking dagger at FaMo.
FaMo smiled sheepishly before scratching his head. "Master, calm down. Don't get mad. I am just telling the truth."
"You never know, Eva would want you to be together with Titania and be happy!" FaMo added.
"No!!" Zu Wan hastily stood up. "I only love one woman in my life and that is Eva. No one will be able to replace her in my heart."
Zu Wan was getting worked up for an unknown reason.
"I-I… I can't betray her…" Zu Wan clenched his fists. He knew those words were not intended for FaMo but himself.
He wanted to remind himself that Titania was not Eva and he should stop getting intimate with her. But whenever she was near he couldn't stop his urge. Was it really because of Eva… hoping Titania was Eva.
Zu Wan still couldn't accept and move on that Eva was no longer by his side. Eva changed his life, teaching him how to love and helping him see the goodness in his heart.
He still had so many regrets since he lost Eva so soon. The ti they spent together was not that long but he felt like his world collapsed when she died.
How he wished he could turn back ti and see Eva once again. Hug her. Touch her. Kiss her. Show her how much he loves her.
But Zu Wan knew it would not happen anymore. Deep down in his heart, he hoped that Titania was Eva. He hoped that she didn't die but she only lost her mory. But his hope was crushed again tonight when he learned that Titania was Eva's twin sister.
"Let's just sleep, FaMo. We will introduce Titania to Zhen-Zhen tomorrow. She will be happy to know that Titania is her mother's twin sister, her Aunty." Zu Wan ended the discussion. He was not ready to talk about this yet.
"Okay, Master. I understand."
Zu Wan was about to go to the other room when he stopped to tell FaMo another thing.
"FaMo, start training again tomorrow! Study the different fire art techniques!"
FaMo: 0_0
'Is this my punishnt for being nosy? I think Master is punishing through this hard training!'
