Back then, also on the pretext of visiting a newborn baby, Elora accompanied Damon and waited for me to give birth at the healer lodge.
She was very excited, walking back and forth in the hallway, her hands constantly rubbing together.
The moment I gave birth, she was the first to rush over and cling to my son, her eyes red with excitement.
The midwife, seeing her reaction, couldn’t help but joke, “Who are you to the child? You look even more excited than the mother!”
At that time, Elora had worn the same guilty expression, her eyes darting around nervously.
Now, seeing my silence, Elora continued to explain, “My Luna, I just thought Torin was so adorable that I couldn’t help but kiss him. You… you won’t blame me, will you?”
I smiled gently and replied calmly, “Of course not. I’ve been so busy with work that I’ve neglected my family. I should be thanking you for helping me take care of Torin.”
Hearing this, both Elora and Damon visibly relaxed.
Meanwhile, Torin ran up to me, his innocent eyes wide as he asked, “Mom, are you going to the meeting today, or are you coming to kindergarten with me and Dad?”
I patted his head and asked, “What does little Torin want Mommy to do?”
Without hesitation, Torin replied, “I want Mommy to go to work, and then Aunt Elora and Dad can take me to kindergarten!”
Seemingly afraid of his son’s blabbering, Damon immediately held his son in his arms and explained to me, “Dear, Torin just doesn’t want to disturb your work. Last time, he even said you’ve been working too hard and told me not to bother you unless it’s important!”
“Torin is such a thoughtful child,” Elora chimed in, nodding. “Only someone as exceptional as Luna Aris could raise such a well-behaved son.”
I smiled at Torin and said, “Then we’ll do as Torin says.”
Hearing this, Torin jumped up and down with joy, completely forgetting about me as he grabbed Elora and Damon’s hands and pulled them toward the door.
Watching the happy scene of their little family, I smiled indifferently.
Aris, how can you still smile at a time like this? My wolf pressed her paws down, tilting her head to ask me.
I can smile. The happier they are now, the harder they’ll cry later!
