Hestia wet her lips. He hesitated for a moment but he decided to say it. "Darius is acting strange."
"Regard?"
"She .. She seems to care about me."
"You don't want him to care?"
"I might be vengeful. I didn't forget what he did. My sister and I got hurt and now she cares? That's disgusting to me." Hestia let out a faint breath.
He doesn't know what he really feels.
It was disgusting, but Hestia could not think of hating him at all.
"You didn't forgive Darius."
Hestia could not retaliate.
"But you don't want to pay it back either."
Al grabbed a cold cup of tea on the table.
"I'll talk to Gouw to pull the engagement. Of course with compensation from you instead. So I hope you focus on Eros to know what you want."
Hestia did not want to marry any man.
That feeling hasn't changed at all.

Al lets Hestia hitch a ride on his helicopter to the Eros family's main residence. As it turns out that Laura is in the courtyard with Eros and Astria, Al goes downstairs to say hello.
"Haha-ue!"
Hestia didn't join them. Stretched out his hands to receive the tight embrace of his two little angels. "Mama misses you."
After going through the long drama of the proposal, Hestia really missed the two of them.
"Is Haha-ue tired?" Yuveria caressed her face with the little hands of the child. "What did Haha-ue do yesterday? Does Haha-ue work all day?"
Yujerian touched his face. "Haha-ue's body is hot. Why is Haha-ue so stubborn? I told you if you're tired then take a break."
Well, he missed their nagging voice.
"Yurushite, Yuuki, Yuui. Mama is so tired of missing you."
His daughter laughed. Dropped himself on Hestia until his body was pushed into the grass. Instead of helping, Yujerian overcame him.
From afar Eros saw that, clearly smiling. Not using any more time he moved to follow, sit on the green grass they slept on.
"Chichi, Haha-ue wants to sleep here."
"Then go to sleep." Eros patted Yuveria on the head. "Yuve sleep too. The air here is fresh and cool. Yuve would have a good dream if he slept here."
To be honest, Hestia was rather surprised to see her two children actually sleeping. They slept in each of Hestia's bodies, probably missing her too much to the point of no longer thinking even Hestia somewhat objected.
Even so, Hestia simply rubbed their heads. Close your eyes, feel the foreign tranquility of this peace.
Only those that Hestia had with all her heart.
If they were happy, Hestia thought she would be very happy too.
"Sleep too, Hestia."
He opened his eyes to Eros. "Stop looking for opportunities in front of my son."
Eros smiled instead. "They're my kids too."
Whatever. "Al said it would help me get Gouw to withdraw their proposal without a problem."
"I don't want to know about Gouw." Eros quietly slipped his hand between his hair. "I want to know if you've accepted my proposal or not."
Hestia does not want to marry a man.
But when he looked down, seeing his two children looked very comfortable and calm since the presence of Eros .. does Hestia have to pull herself aside?
"Hestine."
"I—"
Hestia's eyelids are widened.
Now in front of his eyes, a pair of eyes with a gray color appeared. His breath was restrained, feeling the Eros kiss on his lips.
Only the kiss, which was very long, was witnessed by Laura, Astria and Al from a distance, and her two children were fast asleep.
As if inexhaustible, Eros moved his lips on Hestia's forehead, wiping his head carefully. "Sleep."
Hestia gulped.
The only thing he was afraid of now was Yujerian or Yuveria waking up from realizing their mother's heartbeat was too loud.
