Chapter 238
Caitlyn was pregnant . That was something Angele had never expected .
It had been years since he left his homeland . The child stayed in Caitlyn’s body for so long . Angele knew that she was likely not treated well by the locals, as people just liked to spread rumors . Maybe she stayed in her family territory the whole time but it was lucky that she survived the plague .
Angele was not sure why it took so long for the child to be born . Perhaps it was due to his special bloodline .
His mother was a tree elf, and tree elves usually chose to reproduce with a human due to the higher fertility rate .
Angele wondered if he failed to control himself during the intercourse with Caitlyn and some of his special bloodlines went inside her body . That was probably the reason why it took years for her to give birth to the child .
However, he was certain that it was his child . As wizards had special mental connections to their inheritors, they themselves would know when their child was born .
If the child had talent, he wanted to bring it to Nola but if the child was not gifted, the radiation in Nola would be too much for the child to handle .
It was Angele’s plan and the decision he made . He could understand why Caitlyn decided to keep the child . After all, having an inheritor of a wizard in the family could bring her anything she wanted .
*CHI*
A purple fireball exploded on top of an oil lamp . The light from the fireball illuminated on Angele’s face and the walls .
He removed his right hand from the top of the oil lamp and stared at it . It was steaming hot and that was the result of the explosion .
‘I need to ignite my right hand once a day now… The implant of the turtle flesh might be a huge mistake . ’ Angele shook his head and extinguished the remaining purple flame .
He stood up and walked to the window of the biological lab to peek outside .
It was 9 o’clock in the morning . The eye-blinding sunlight had already warmed up the land . The air was hot and dry .
The warm wind entered through the window and blew over Angele’s face . It helped lighten up the mood a little bit .
‘I haven’t made a lot of progress on the study of the World Stone and now I suddenly have a child . Also, the marriage with Isabel…Misfortunes never come singly…’ Angele’s brows furrowed .
Suddenly, light blue smoke rose from the tip of his finger and a blue rune started flashing on the back of his nail .
"Green, do you have time right now?" Isabel’s voice echoed in his ear .
"Isabel? What happened?" Angele responded right away .
"Well, do you know that my grandmother wants you to marry me?" Isabel was speaking in a shaky tone .
"Yeah, she told me the day before yesterday . Master Flan came to me right after you left . For the marriage, if you don’t want to, I can go talk to her . We are good friends but there’s no intimate love between us . " Angele smiled . To be honest, Isabel was a good girl but Angele did not like her personality . Isabel was way too naïve, and Angele would not have the time to protect her all the time .
"Yeah, I’m sorry but I don’t think we’ll be a good couple too . " Isabel hesitated for a second and responded, "Actually, there’s someone that I fall in love with right now…My grandmother probably noticed it but she did not like my choice . "
"Huh? That’s the first time I heard you talk about it . " Angele was surprised . "Who’s the lucky guy? Can you tell me more about him?"
"His name is Raymond . I met him on the third time that I left my family’s territory," Isabel was speaking in a gentle tone . She sounded a bit shy when talking about her man .
Angele shook his head . Although Isabel looked like she was lacking in emotions, she still had a pure heart, and it sounded like they were deeply in love . He recalled the words Flan said to him that night and he suddenly felt a bit depressed .
"How’s he treating you? I mean…" Angele regretted right after speaking .
"He’s a great guy and he’s treating me very well…" Isabel lowered her voice . "Alright, let’s stop talking about him . I contacted you because I want to apologize for my grandmother . "
"Don’t worry about it . I wish you two the best," Angele responded in a light tone .
"Thank you . "
The communication was cut off here .
Angele stood by the window with his eyes narrowed and he started thinking . He could smell something fishy in the whole incident but he couldn’t make tails or heads about the reason why . There was also no evidence supporting his assumptions so he decided to give up and focus on the World Stone project instead .
Isabel never contacted him again after the short conversation they had .
He spent most of his time studying the World Stone and testing the basic models . Angele was still meditating every day but his mentality was barely growing . He also made some basic potions for daily use .
Several days passed .
At noon of the fifth day .
It was dark outside . The thick clouds blocked the bright sunlight and it looked like it was about to rain .
