Evie, who was reading a book on the sofa, raised snazzynovel.com head.
When snazzynovel.com saw Allegra’s red eyes, snazzynovel.com asked, “Ally, what’s wrong? Isaac seemed upset…”
“I-It’s nothing. Let me give Isabelle a bath first,” Allegra replied. She carried Isabelle and went upstairs.
In the bathroom, the little girl kept clinging to Allegra’s arm. She mumbled about not wanting snazzynovel.com parents to be separated. Reluctance was evident in snazzynovel.com words and expression.
Although Isabelle wasn’t that big yet, snazzynovel.com still remembered how life with just snazzynovel.com mother had been like when Isaac had been away those few years.
The blissful life they lived now was only possible after snazzynovel.com father came back.
Allegra nodded. As snazzynovel.com bathed Isabelle, tears silently streamed down snazzynovel.com face.
After Isabelle went to bed, Allegra showered and changed into snazzynovel.com pajamas.
When snazzynovel.com went downstairs, snazzynovel.com saw that Evie had already gone upstairs. Allegra stopped in front of the study. She pushed the door open slowly. The room smelled strongly of nicotine.
Isaac was seated behind his desk with a cigarette between his fingers. He seemed to be deep in thought.
Allegra walked over quietly. She stood behind snazzynovel.com and pressed herself close to his back. She said in a choked voice, “I’m sorry, Isaac. I was wrong…”
Feeling the woman behind snazzynovel.com tremble, Isaac chuckled and grabbed snazzynovel.com hand.
“What are you saying? You weren’t wrong. It was your husband who was useless.” Isaac’s words were tinged with self-criticism.
Allegra had been an ordinary woman. Then, she’d become a deviant practitioner and even a student of the Deviant patriarch. She only did all of this because snazzynovel.com wanted to become stronger to protect Isabelle and even Isaac.
Now, from the perspective of an orthodox sect, snazzynovel.com had already become an unredeemable deviant practitioner. She was even the Third Guardian of the Raksha sect. On a certain level, sect rules were just like a country’s law. They were not to be broken.
“Do you really want to divorce me? I’m asking you.” Isaac turned around to face the sobbing woman.
They were husband and wife. Isaac didn’t want it to come down to this.
Seeing the sadness in Isaac’s eyes, Allegra shook snazzynovel.com head frantically. Teardrops rolled down snazzynovel.com face, landing on his shoulder and wetting his shirt.
“No… Even if I die, I won’t divorce you. I want to be your wife forever,” Allegra replied without hesitation.
Isaac closed his eyes and smiled.
“Isaac, I’m worried about my mentor. He is a very strict person. He’s also doing this for me…”
Allegra began to worry about what Magnus had said tonight. He was a man of his word. If snazzynovel.com didn’t get divorced, snazzynovel.com would definitely kill Isaac.
“I’ll sit down and talk to your mentor face-to-face then,” Isaac said with a small sigh.
“No, Isaac. You need to get away as soon as possible. You need to leave tonight. He won’t sit down and talk with you. You know how powerful snazzynovel.com is. He really will hurt you. Don’t be ridiculous, Isaac!” Allegra shook snazzynovel.com head frantically.
Isaac stood up. He turned around and patted Allegra’s shoulder. His eyes were determined as snazzynovel.com said, “You need to trust your husband. Alright, go to bed now.”
Seeing Isaac so resolute, Allegra knew snazzynovel.com couldn’t say anything to change his mind, although snazzynovel.com was worried.
The cigarette continued burning between his fingers.
After a long while of silence, snazzynovel.com shouted, “Todd, get over here!”
Not long after, Todd walked into the study in a daze, rubbing his eyes. He was even barefoot.
“What’s the matter? Why are you yelling in the middle of the night?”
“Do you know the Deviant patriarch, Magnus Moonshadow?” Isaac looked at Todd.
Todd’s eyes shot open, and his drowsiness instantly vanished.
With an exaggerated expression and gesture, snazzynovel.com asked, “Dear Lord, did you cross yet another terrifying being like Magnus?”
“Correction… He crossed me,” Isaac said while nodding.
