"As for me,
You gave me the best gift in the entire Universe, you have no need to apologize to me."
Nux spoke with a smile so gentle and beautiful that for a moment, the women—Allura and all others—froze.
That smile…
That was the exact smile they all wanted to be the reason for.
The exact smile they were all so distraught about when they found out Allura took that opportunity from them.
A smile they would… willingly give their all for.
"N-Nux…"
Allura called out with a stutter, her hands trembling as she held Nux's hands even tighter. The emotions in her eyes were so intense she couldn't even describe them.
That was when Felberta spoke—
"That gift is why we are here."
—taking Nux's attention.
Nux slowly turned towards his first wife, and in her eyes, he saw coldness. It was extremely subtle, so well hidden that even the rest of the women sitting right beside Felberta did not notice it.
But Nux did.
And he understood it.
