Chapter 1664 Chapter 1482: Nyx's Warning
The sun, now high in the sky, painted the garden in a mosaic of light and shadow. Alex, revitalized by a playful morning and a delicious breakfast with Silveria, found himself drawn to the serenity of the outdoors. Stepping out onto the patio, the warm breeze ruffled his hair, carrying with it the sweet scent of blooming roses and freshly cut grass.
He wandered through the meticulously maintained flowerbeds, his gaze drawn to the vibrant colors bursting forth from every direction. Sunflowers swayed gently in the breeze, their golden faces turned towards the sun like loyal subjects to their king. Delicate lavender blooms, their fragrance a gentle counterpoint to the roses, swayed in clusters along the pathway.
Reaching a secluded corner of the garden shaded by a weeping willow, Alex settled onto a weathered wooden bench. The sound of a babbling brook, a soothing melody that had been a constant companion throughout his childhood, filled the air. He closed his eyes for a moment, letting the peace of the garden wash over him.
The events of the previous night, the playful skirmish in the bathroom morphing into a night of passionate intimacy, still lingered in his mind. But there was also a sense of calm, a quiet happiness that settled deep within him. Silveria's presence, her love and unwavering support, was a constant source of strength.
A soft chirp broke the silence, and Alex opened his eyes to see a robin perched on a nearby branch, its red breast a vibrant splash of color against the green foliage. The little bird cocked its head, seemingly observing him, before flitting away in a burst of feathers and song.
A smile touched Alex's lips. Even in this small pocket of peace, life teemed with energy and beauty. It was a reminder, he thought, that challenges would inevitably come, battles to be fought and burdens to be borne. But here, in the embrace of nature and with his women by his side, he could find the strength to face them all.
''I wonder if that woman is doing another beauty treatment at the moment?" Alex caressed his chin, playing with his growing barb.
''Ah forget it. Womens are too complicated and scary. Gotta focus on the final preparations before devouring that curse.''
Alex mumbled before disappearing somewhere.
Meanwhile, by the pool, Silveria reclined on a cushioned chaise lounge, the midday sun warming her skin. Unlike the meticulous flowerbeds, the surrounding plants here were more relaxed, a riot of colorful annuals and trailing vines weaving around the stonework. The gentle gurgle of the pool water provided a soothing background melody to the rhythmic whoosh of the sprinkler tending to the nearby lawn.
A chilled glass of lemonade, condensation clinging to the sides, sat on a nearby table within easy reach. But Silveria's focus wasn't on quenching her thirst, but on the book in her hands. Its worn leather cover held the promise of a fantastical journey, a world where she could escape for a while.
However, the book competed for her attention with a selection of beauty products arranged on the table beside her. A jar of cooling cucumber facial mask sat open, a gentle green against her sun-kissed skin. Beside it, a bottle of shimmery body oil promised a touch of summery glamour.
Silveria glanced down at the open pages of her book, then back at the tempting beauty products. A playful smile touched her lips. Perhaps, she thought, a little indulgence wouldn't hurt. Setting the book aside with a sigh, she reached for the cucumber mask, the cool touch a welcome contrast to the warm sun.
As she pampered herself with the mask, her thoughts drifted back to Alex, a smile lighting up her face. The memory of their playful morning, and the even more playful night before, brought a warmth to her cheeks.
She could almost hear his teasing voice, and imagined the playful glint in his eyes. A soft laugh escaped her lips, the sound echoing across the still pool.
Lost in her thoughts and her self-care ritual, Silveria reveled in the peace of the moment.
The sun, the gentle breeze, and the promise of a good book later – it was a perfect afternoon, made even more perfect by the knowledge that Alex was nearby, and their shared love a constant source of joy.
"I shall revel in my own pleasure until the other ladies aspire to possess him exclusively. Ha! The fatigue of sharing one's man with numerous women is undeniable. Yet, who am I to judge? Without that very circumstance, I would not have discovered love anew nor encountered such abundant wonders. I am sincerely grateful, though the pain persists, despite my understanding. Truly, jealousy is a repugnant sentiment, isn't it?"
Silveria expressed her concern, but there was no one present to respond to her inquiry. With a heavy sigh, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness. Suddenly, the voice of her sister she hadn't heard in a long echoed through the air, breaking the silence that had surrounded her for so long.
'It's understandable that jealousy can be a challenging emotion to navigate, especially when it comes to sharing someone you care about with others. While it's natural to feel a sense of protectiveness or possessiveness, it's important to remember that love and relationships can be unique and complex. Open communication, trust, and understanding can help address any concerns or insecurities that arise. It's also essential to focus on the positive aspects of the relationship and appreciate the wonderful experiences it brings. Ultimately, finding gratitude and being grateful for the love you have can help alleviate some of the negative emotions associated with jealousy.''
Despite comprehending Nyx's message, it managed to irk her, leaving her slightly perturbed and evoking a wave of emotions.
"What do you know, big sis? You, who have never experienced love before. What could you possibly understand?" she lashed out at Nyx, who remained silent for a moment.
"You are right, I can't really relate to your current situation as I've never fallen in love before, but it doesn't mean I'm clueless or an idiot. Just follow my advice and don't let negative emotions cloud your judgment, so you don't make mistakes you'll regret later. Kindly follow my advice and stop playing around. It's time to act," Nyx finally spoke.
She warned her little sister, and knowing Nyx's temperament, Silveria could only click her tongue in defiance. But deep down, she decided to follow Nyx's advice. No good outcome awaited her if she were to rebel against her wise, albeit inexperienced, sister. Silveria secretly cursed, not daring to voice her frustrations aloud.
