Chapter 942: I have something to tell you
With a sharp turn of phrase, he questioned, “Do you have the qualifications? Who are you, hmm?”
The coldness in his eyes was as chill as water, devoid of any warmth.
In the end, he was still willing for Luna.
She was unwilling to even consider, to try and be with him for the sake of their child.
Selfishly focused on her own feelings.
Even willing to leave!
How could he accept that?
How could he not feel hurt?
How could he not blame her?
How could Luna not sense his desolation.
But…
“Must you be like this? Use this method?” Luna’s eyes turned red.
Orion retorted, “Using what method?”
Luna said, “You know I care about the stars.”
Orion chuckled, “Do you really care? Aren’t you only caring about yourself? If you truly cared about the stars, you wouldn’t be so stubborn, disregarding her future environment, ignoring that she is growing up in an unhealthy family, just to satisfy your own peace of mind, leaving her.”
His words grew sharper, “I can find another woman, a younger, prettier one, but are those women the biological mother of the star? Can they truly treat the star well? Can they truly treat her as their own? I may be the biological father of the star, but can I watch over her twenty-four hours a day? Have you ever considered her future living environment? Are you not afraid that, if I have children with another woman, I won’t love her anymore?”
Luna hadn’t thought of all this.
Or maybe she had.
But she believed in Orion.
“Then give me the star,” she said.
Orion’s face darkened.
He said so much to make Luna think it through.
She thought about taking the star away!
“If you’re sick, go see a doctor, don’t talk nonsense here.” Orion stood up, carrying the star to the room.
Luna stopped him, “What do you need to give me the star?”
Orion ignored her.
Pushing away her hand, “You leave, if you want to leave, leave completely, never appear in front of me again.”
Orion’s attitude turned cold.
This was something Luna hadn’t expected.
“You…”
“Don’t say another word to me, you’ll only disappoint me.”
He walked into the room, slamming the door shut.
Even the star’s cries were muffled.
Only a faint sound could be heard.
Orion seemed truly angry this time.
Luna knew why he was angry, but how could she easily get over it?
Orion was in the room, Luna stood outside, a stalemate for a long time.
The sky outside had darkened, the star had stopped crying.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
It seemed like everything had returned to calm.
But the waves in their hearts were turbulent, unable to settle for a long time, neither willing to give in, neither willing to bow first.
…
Luna left.
Orion moved house.
Now, even Freya didn’t know his address.
Luna would miss the star when she couldn’t see her.
But she couldn’t go looking for Orion, only seeking Freya’s help.
Freya tried indirectly, but it was fruitless.
Because Orion knew very well that Freya’s appearance must be related to Luna.
He knew that if he didn’t push her, she would continue to shut herself off, unable to face reality.
So Freya’s intervention was of no use.
“No one can help.” Orion spoke directly, looking at Freya, he also said from the heart, “What Luna cares about, you and I understand, I’ve said that I don’t mind, but she’s not willing to overcome that hurdle, won’t open her heart to anyone, she’s only concerned about her inner peace. I hope that for the sake of the star, she can set aside those worldly concerns, as long as I don’t mind, what else is there to worry about?”
Freya fell silent for a long time.
Orion’s words were not wrong.
But she was a woman, she would consider and think about this matter from Luna’s perspective.
She said, “Luna’s experiences have left her emotionally scarred…”
She pursed her lips, “Her worries, I can also understand, she’s afraid that one day you will care… maybe you love her now, but love is ephemeral…”
Orion said, “I don’t deny, I can’t confirm completely that I will never change my mind, but do we have to give up the present for something that hasn’t happened yet?”
Freya thought Orion made sense.
Who can predict the future?
Would it be foolish to let go of the present for something that may never happen?
“I haven’t intervened in your and Luna’s affairs all this time, you and Luna are adults, you have your own thoughts and considerations, outsiders can’t help, especially in matters of the heart, with your complicated emotional entanglement, outsiders can’t help even more, but this time, I stand by your side, I think what you said makes sense,” Freya said.
Orion was surprised.
Because Freya had always sided with Luna.
She was more protective of Luna.
Their relationship was good, Orion understood this.
He understood her not interfering.
But this time, Orion was grateful that Freya was willing to persuade Luna.
“If she can understand, I will thank you,” he said.
Freya was not confident, “I will try my best.”
After discussing this, Freya shifted the conversation to the child.
“Is the star causing trouble?”
Orion said, “Maybe Luna has been taking her, she’s gotten used to it, she cries.”
He said this with a motive, hoping Freya would relay it to Luna, to make her worry.
But he wasn’t lying, the star was indeed quite troublesome.
Probably also thinking of Luna.
Like mother, like daughter.
Freya was a smart person, she understood Orion’s intentions.
She said, “Don’t worry, I will try my best, for the star, and for Luna herself.”
Orion was close to rolling his eyes, “Can’t you also consider me for their sake? After all, I’m your senior brother, I used to take care of you, why, now that you have Elijah, do you no longer recognize me as your senior brother? You’re too heartless.”
Freya said, “I’m not doing it for you, can’t I persuade Luna? In the end, isn’t it still for you?”
Orion smiled, “I’ll accept your sentimentality.”
…
After parting ways with Orion, Freya went to see Luna.
Luna was very anxious, “Where did he hide the star?”
Freya told her not to worry.
“The star is okay, Orion will take good care of her.”
“Why did he hide the star? What does it mean? Intentionally not letting me see her? Is he retaliating against me?”
Freya urged her to sit down, “No, he has no reason to do that.”
“He must hate me very much.”
Luna’s mood was low.
Freya said, “The star needs her mother, I heard that she cries when you’re not around.”
Luna’s heart broke when she heard her daughter crying.
“I’ll go find Orion, I’ll apologize to him, as long as he lets me see the star.” Luna stood up to leave, but Freya grabbed her wrist, “Wait, I have something to tell you.”
