Chapter 245 – Are You A Mermaid?
She rubbed between her brows and took a long deep breath to calm herself down and stood up from the bed. She glanced around the room one last time before walking out and shutting it behind her.
She walked towards the stairs and began to walk downstairs. She had just stepped down the last flight of stairs when she came face to face with none other than Mr. Adolpho, who was clad in a fine, pristine black suit, with his hands stuffed into his pockets.
Leia glanced at Amy, who stood with a grin on her lips and a disdained look on her face.
She arched her brow and shifted her stare to Mr. Adolpho, who was also staring intently at her. They gazed at each other, and an unexpected, slow, mysterious smile emerged on Mr. Adolpho's face. "What brings you here?" He questioned, and Leia gazed at him for a moment before tilting her head to one side. "You dared to do that! It's alright." With that being said, she walked past him and narrowed her eyes at Amy before strolling out of the mansion.
Mr. Adolpho turned around to stare at her disappearing back, and his brow raised as though he was contemplating something.
"Dad! You didn't do anything!" Amy turned to him and yelled angrily.
Mr. Adolpho glanced at her and slightly shook his head, as though a disappointed father. He ignored her and proceeded up the stairs.
Amy's face twitched in anger, and she stomped her feet on the floor before turning to glance at the exit where Leia left from. "Bitch!" She scoffed in scorn and turned around to storm to her room.

Leia drove the car out of the compound and an annoyed breath exited her nose. She raised the speed and arrived home in less than an hour.
She pulled over into the compound and parked the car in the parking lot, then got out, shutting the door and locking it afterward.
She strolled into the mansion and to the living room, and her eyes fell on Adrik, who was seated on the sofa with his mask on his face.
She walked to him and took a seat beside him, then wrapped her arms around his waist.
Adrik cuddled her and grazed his fingers up and down her arms. "How did it go? Were you able to get them?" He inquired, and she raised her head to look at his face. She slowly shook her head, and Adrik's brows creased. "Why? He didn't let you take them?"
"No… it's actually the worst. He disposed of all my mother's belongings, including mine." A low breath escaped her nose and Adrik's lashes flickered in surprise. "Why would he do that?"
"I don't know." Leia shrugged helplessly and hugged him, resting her head on his chest.
Adrik took his mask off and dropped it on the mini table. He grabbed her chin and lifted her head so she could look at him. Then he leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her lips. "It's okay, little wife." He smiled lovingly at her and gave her yet another kiss.
Leia smiled against his lips and hugged him tightly.
Steady footsteps abruptly resounded and they turned to glance at the entrance only to see Alex walking into the living room with a young blue-haired girl.
Leia's eyes flickered furiously as she stared at the girl who looked extremely beautiful with her gorgeous blue hair complimenting her blue eyes.
"Supreme Alpha. Mrs. Leia." Alex bowed respectfully at them, and the young girl, who was none other than Alesea, began to wave at Adrik the moment she saw him. "Hi… Alpha." Her serene voice flew into their ears, and Adrik found himself chuckling at her childish behavior.
"Hello, princess." He smiled at her and stood up to hug her. "It's been quite a while."
Alesea nodded furiously, and a smile ensued on her face. "It's been really long. I think we last saw each other thirty years ago or was it twenty? I really can't remember."
"It was twenty." Adrik cackled and moved to stand beside Leia, then wrapped his arms around her waist.
Alesea, who had just noticed Leia, shifted her gaze to her and her smile widened. "Is she…" She turned to Adrik, and Adrik nodded at her with amusement in his green eyes. "Yes, she's my mate and my wife."
"Oh my goodness." She immediately moved to Leia and gazed at her with a smile still visible on her face. "She's so pretty." She chuckled, and Leia, who was moody before, suddenly found a smile emerging on her face. "Hi! I am Alesea. Nice to meet you. I love your short hair."
Leia chuckled softly and also waved back at her. "My name is Leia. It's nice to meet you too, and I must say I also love your hair. It's very beautiful."
"Thank you." Alesea bowed a bit, as that was how they expressed their thanks in their sea world.
"Are you a mermaid too?" She inquired, and Leia, who was surprised by the question, slowly shook her head. "No, I am not."
"Huh? That's impossible." Her brows furrowed deeply, and she moved towards Leia, then began to sniff her.
Leia, who felt awkward about her weird action, fluttered her eyes in bewilderment. "What are you do-"
"But you have the scent." Alesea stopped sniffing her and moved back to stare at her with a look of disbelief in her eyes.
"What do you mean by "scent?" Leia asked as she felt utterly confused.
Alesea stared at her for a few moments with narrowed eyes, as though contemplating something, and when she was done contemplating, she slightly shook her head at her. "It's… nothing. Forget it."
Leia and Adrik glanced at each other in bewilderment, and Leia slowly nodded at her. "Alright. It's really nice to meet you." She smiled at her, and Alesea nodded in excitement. Finally, she was going to explore the human world.
"Little wife, you can show her around while I talk with Alex." Adrik smiled at Leia, and she nodded, then moved to grab Alesea by the hand.
They strolled away from the living room and headed for the door that leads to the backyard. Leia pushed it open and they stepped outside to the lovely backyard.
Aleasea's eyes instantly widened on viewing the garden and her jaw fell ."So pretty!" She squealed and rushed to sniff the flowers. "They are so beautiful." She turned to glance at Leia, and Leia strolled to squat beside her with a smile on her lips.
"What are they called?" She inquired with a deep curiosity in her eyes, and Leia chuckled before pointing at each of the flowers. "This one is called Daisy, this one is a Sunflower, this one is a Rose and this one is Lily.. It's my favorite flower."
