After Davis left, the hall became really silent as they both failed to speak afterward. Evelynn gritted her teeth before she walked towards their room as she crossed the hallway.

She arrived in a minute and opened the door to their room but she didn't find him anywhere. It was just as she expected. He didn't send her away from their room, but he instead chose to settle in a new room in the house.

This somehow made her not feel good as she realized that she wouldn't get to spend all the nights with him as they did before in the past. Tears started to form in her eyes as she felt like crying but she bit her lips, trying not to...

Suddenly, she felt a touch on her shoulder.

When she turned back, he wasn't there, instead, it was Natalya.

"I'm... sorry..." Natalya averted her gaze as she said.

As the second fiddle, she knew that this would happen. Wedging a little cut in the intimate relationship between Davis and Evelynn, she undoubtedly became the person she did not want to be...

Originally, she thought she could have his time, at least once a month but instead, Davis demanded that they both be in his room. She realized that it was impossible to be like that since she felt that she or the first wife would definitely not accept that kind of proposition.

"It is not my intent to d-destroy the affection you two have for each other..." Natalya bit her lips as tears formed in her eyes.

"I'll leave..." 

She closed her eyes as her tears jerked as it slid down her cheeks. She turned away and left towards the entrance of the house.

"Wait!" 

Evelynn suddenly called out, causing Natalya to stop in her tracks. Even when she stopped, she couldn't stop her tears. She continuously kept wiping her tears with her sleeves, not knowing what to do.

"You... Do you truly love him?" Evelynn asked with a difficult expression on her face.

"I will commit suicide without him!"

Natalya had her trembling back facing Evelynn but even then her voice and words alone were enough to send Evelynn the shivers till she became stunned.

A complex expression appeared on her face as she completely realized that he didn't solely belong to her anymore. There was a woman right in front of her eyes who said that she will commit suicide if she cannot be with him.

Perhaps she felt the same, as that's why she couldn't say no to his demands of having other women. This was the result that she brought to her head herself!

Evelynn took a deep breath as her face became calm. However, it could be better said that she forced herself to be calm. 

Emotions never synced with one's thoughts and logic. Even though she was prepared mentally to face situations like these, her frail emotions couldn't withstand the brunt of it.

She walked towards Natalya and held her hands, "I don't want to lose him either..."

Natalya looked heartbroken as she sniffled. Her tears were cascading down her cheeks as she shook her head, "Leave me... I will go back and never disturb you two again..."

"And die?"

"..." Natalya didn't speak.

Evelynn sighed, "Are you sure?"

Natalya just sniffled. She didn't shake her head or nod.

"If you leave right now, then you'll be making a huge mistake! That scoundrel has his eye over other women as well, not just you!" Evelynn suppressed her voice as she expressed her discontent.

Natalya became stunned as she heard it. Last time, he had said that there was a woman whom he had his eyes on, a woman with the potential to reach the Ninth Stage.

At that time, she suspected that it was the Conferred Queen and even had it verified by his own words. Hence, wasn't she just digging a hole for her own grave by blaming herself for potentially harming Evelynn's and Davis's relationship as husband and wife?

Natalya couldn't help but feel lost as she realized this point. Her eyes sought out the light, "W-What should I do?" 

Evelynn took a deep breath before her eyes became serious.

======

In a new room, Davis had already arranged the bed, types of furniture, and everything that was needed to adorn this new room. He couldn't help but feel if Evelynn were here, she would do so that but as an act of willfulness, he left their room.

He didn't have his soul sense active since he didn't want to interfere with their decisions directly.

However, he was well aware that they would be sad, but he needed to harden his heart and be shameless if he were to ever get them moving along together.

'Was I hasty? Wouldn't they have naturally become sisters?' These thoughts echoed across his mind constantly as if it were plaguing him but since he had already made a move, he felt that he had to see it to the end.

Davis narrowed his eyes as he felt that his initial plan would work against these two women who sincerely loved him. At the same time, he couldn't help but curse himself, feeling that he was a scum who was and is taking advantage of their feelings.

Time passed. It became midnight.

He sat on the bed and cultivated since they didn't seem to be getting anywhere near his room. He could inadvertently sense their locations with his physical sense and could understand that they were together, probably talking about something.

He felt increasingly curious since the words he said should've forced them to separate only to reunite them later with his plan here but they seemed to act contrary to his expectations.

'Maybe I can peek on them a little?' Davis felt his will break.

Just when he was about to extend his soul sense, he felt both of them traveling towards his direction with his physical sense.

He instantly turned ecstatic but since they were coming together, but he became doubtful. It wasn't supposed to be like this since their relationship wasn't strong! However, it was still within his expectations.

The door opened as the two of them stepped in, their faces calm as if they planned something beforehand.

Looking at their expressions, Davis felt it to be the case. He became glad that they at least worked together to conspire against him rather than fight among themselves.

However, he still had to maintain his act.

"Good, now that you two are here, come and sit beside me..." Davis commanded in an abnormal tone.

However, Natalya and Evelynn didn't move. They moved their gaze away from him and uttered at the same time.

"Are we disposable to you?"

Davis became stunned as he blinked. He knew that they had talked something beforehand but this...

They're emotionally cornering him?

'Not bad...' 

"Of course not..." Davis inwardly evaluated them and answered but he got interrupted swiftly.

"Then why do you treat us like this?"

Hearing them echo at the same time, Davis became stumped to answer their question. 

"I think you two have misunderstood." He couldn't help but remind them.

Natalya's facial expression fell. She couldn't help but take a look at Evelynn as her determination faltered.

Even Evelynn became taken aback before she clenched her teeth, "Didn't you just tell us that..."

"You've misunderstood. All I did was ask you two to come to my room and sit beside me, so we can chat and set aside all the differences we have... At least, we can try..." Davis wryly smiled and possessed a disappointed expression over his face.

Evelynn froze. The next second, she became pale as she realized that she had probably misunderstood. When she turned to look at Natalya, they realized that they both misinterpreted him as well.
