My Supernatural Girlfriends Spoils Me Rotten - Chapter 264

Chapter 264: Opening Up Part 3
“Lucy… I—” His lips parted, then pressed shut, trapping everything he wanted to say behind them.

The silence dragged on, and her eyes glistened.

“I don’t blame you,” she said softly, though her voice quivered on the edge of breaking.

“But please… be honest with me. Do you love someone else now—more than me?”

The question hit him hard. His gaze faltered, guilt flickering across his face.

She bit her lip, struggling to hold back tears. She thought she was ready, but the truth still stung.

He made a decision—he could not keep lying to her forever.

“When we separated. I was sent to the Void, a place of eternal darkness.”

“The Void?” she repeated, her brow knitting tight.

“Yes,” he responded with a slow nod. “I spent what felt like an eternity, just drifting, losing all hope of ever getting out. To be honest , it was worst than death,”

“But someone saved me.” He lifted his gaze to the ceiling, a soft smile tugging at his lips—one touched with both gratitude and love.

The memory alone warmed him from within—and she felt it. She stayed quiet, wanting to know who this woman was, the one who captured his heart.

“Her name is Index. She found me in that dark place… pulled me out when I thought no one would. She didn’t just save my life—she changed it. Made me stronger. Gave me power I never thought possible.”

His fingers brushed hers. “And she’s the reason… I’m here. Without her, I’d still be lost.”

“I lost,” her lips softened into a smile. How could she resent the woman who brought him back?

“You didn’t lose anything. I love you, and I love her too. You’re both equally important to me,” he reassured her.

The room felt small under the weight of his confession.

She searched his eyes—not for answers, but honesty. And she found it.

“Thank you for telling me the truth.” She hugged him again, showing how much she cherished and appreciated his honesty.

They stayed there in silence, sharing an understanding that needed no more words.

When they were done, she rested her head on his shoulder.

“Where is Index now?”

Asher’s shoulders tensed, and his fists clenched at his sides.

“She’s still trapped in the Void… Once I’m strong enough… I will bring her back no matter what.”

Lucy could see the pain in his eyes.

She rose to her feet and pressed a gentle kiss to his forehead.

“Don’t worry,” she whispered, warmth threading through every word. “I know you’ll succeed… because you’re the kind of person who never breaks a promise.”

“Thank you,” he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into another embraced.

Once they finally settled their emotions and said everything they needed to, they decided to head toward the main dining hall.

The place was massive, so they agreed to gather the others first.

As they moved, the Morningstar’s attention was immediately drawn to Lucy’s robe.

It was obviously a very powerful item, and her sister couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy.

Their eyes then roamed over her new accessories—necklaces, rings, pendants, and earrings—all gleaming with multiple enhancements, each piece radiating a faint energy.

In their minds, someone like him wouldn’t lack treasures, nor would he ever gift his soon-to-be wife with cheap gifts.

And they were right—every item in her hand was of platinum rank, and her robe was close to diamond rank.

Lariel couldn’t hold it in any longer.

“Big brother, can you give me something too?” she asked, her voice shamelessly eager as she stepped closer, her hands clasped in front of her like she was about to beg.

“Why do you want one?”

“Why not? You’ve got a mountain of treasures, and I’m your little sister. Isn’t it normal to share?”

Lucian’s temper flared, his fists clenching at his sides. His daughter was dragging their reputation through the mud.

At this rate, their future son in law might mistake them for nothing more than a pack of greedy gold diggers.

But before he could say anything, Asher responded,

“Alright, I’ll give you one,” he held up a hand to stop her from interrupting. “But you’ll have to wait because I’m busy right now.”

“Yehey!” she clapped her hands, her face lighting up with pure excitement as she started hopping around in celebration.

“I knew you couldn’t resist me, big brother!”

“I’m special to you, aren’t I?” she teased, leaning closer with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

“Not really,” he replied bluntly. “I was planning to give everyone items anyway.”

Her jaw dropped, and she stared at him, feigning betrayal. “You can’t just ruin the moment like that!”

The others couldn’t help but chuckle. It was refreshing to see how casual he was.

Not just anyone could keep up with Lariel’s antics, but he managed it effortlessly.

Despite his overwhelming power and the intimidating presence that came with it, he didn’t act overbearing or haughty in the slightest.

This made them see him in a new light.

They kept talking, and his responses made them less wary.

His calm, approachable nature put them at ease, making the conversation flow effortlessly.

Lucy’s sisters on the other hand could only sigh to themselves as they watched him.

Handsome, powerful, smart, and blessed with a good personality—he really seemed too good to be true.

It was as if God Himself personally crafted him, maxing out all his stats, specially charisma.

Little did they know that he was normally aloof and was only doing all of this because he didn’t want to leave a bad impression.

Finally, they reached the dining room door.

It was large—just like everything else in this place—and made of pure black metal.

Millions of small green gems adorned its surface, depicting a giant tree. Above it, was the moon.

This was the recurring theme in this place, and even to this day, he did not know why Julius was so adamant about this design.

It felt too different from his usual style, as if this place wasn’t meant for him.
