Hearing Zerev say this, Ophelia understood clearly.
"If you go back, will you return?" she asked.
Zerev's hand tightened on Ophelia's shoulder. "With you and the children here, I will definitely return."
A faint smile graced Ophelia's lips. "Then that settles it. It's not like you're leaving forever. Besides, don't you know the saying, 'a brief parting beats a honeymoon'?"
"What does that mean?"
"It means that when two people are separated for a while, their feelings for each other will be even stronger when they reunite."
"No. If I'm gone too long, you'll forget me. You'll take a new mate."
Ophelia tilted her head. "Zerev, why would you think that?"
"Isn't it true? The one you like most in your heart is Tyler. If I hadn't forced you to mate with me, we wouldn't even have children."
No one could have imagined that the usually aloof Young Master of the Holy Capital would act so humbly before his little female.
