After swallowing her saliva in nervousness, Talia looked at Minos' lips close to her face and felt a chill in her stomach.
This black-haired beauty, similar to Ruth, then unconsciously moved her hands to his neck, slowly massaging this part of Minos' body.
Then the two of them closed their eyes, and their mouths came closer together, with her feeling chills through her body the moment their lips touched.
"Mmmmm~"
Minos and Talia quickly exchanged saliva in a tongue dance that was complicated to understand, with this woman shivering as he tightened his grip on her waist.
But just as they were beginning to get excited, the front door of that residence was slammed a few times, alarming the two engaging in this forbidden relationship.
Talia promptly pulled away from Minos, breathing faster as she turned red. "You shouldn't have done that!"
"You wanted to..." Minos blinked at her, straightening his clothes, the same thing this woman in front of him was doing.
Then, as the two looked each other in the eye, a different voice than they were hearing from that living room reached their ears.
"Elder Elise, Elder Vince, I heard my nephew is here. Is that true?"
"Hmm, it's true, Angelica." Elise, who had opened the front door of her residence, said as she looked at the brown-haired beauty in front of her, who was alone at the moment.
Upon hearing that, Minos' aunt smiled and entered that residence immediately after being invited, looking for Minos with a smile on her face.
Upon arriving in the living room of that house, she came across Ruth, Abby, and Gloria but did not see her nephew at first. However, when she heard the sound of footsteps coming from a hallway next to that room, Angelica immediately turned her face and saw two people coming there.
Talia was in front, and right behind came Minos with a calm expression on his face, as if nothing had happened in that kitchen.
"Minos!" Angelica shouted as she saw her nephew's face, already running towards him.
Minos saw this level 68 woman and frowned, wondering if more and more beautiful women would come to harass him today.
'Ah, too bad this woman looks a lot like her sister.... Otherwise I'd take her to bed too.' He thought as he saw his aunt's gorgeous little body approaching to hug him.
Maisie and Angelica were not very similar in terms of measurements, but they had similar faces. So, Minos could not fail to realize that this woman was his relative.
"Minos, how long has it been since I've seen you?" Angelica shed a few tears as she pressed her face against Minos' chest.
She was only 1.6 meters tall, so as she embraced Minos, Angelica stood with her face below his, in a position that many would consider ideal for a man and woman to be in this situation.
Minos then squeezed her waist provocatively, at a height that nephews should not touch but with no nefarious interest, intending only to annoy such a person.
Angelica felt some of his fingers on the upper part of her buttocks but was not bothered. "You have grown so much, and now you are a ready man!"
"Hmm, it truly was a long time." He commented in a low voice, remembering the last time he had seen his aunt when Albert was still alive.
Angelica had gone to the northern region a few times at Maisie's side then. Thus, Minos remembered that aunt and readily recognized her after seeing her running toward him.
"Of course, you decided to spend so much time away..." He did not hold back his words, commenting for Angelica and everyone there to hear him.
Gulp!
Silence spread after Minos' words, as Ruth's family avoided looking at the aunt and nephew still hugging, and his wives closed their eyes.
Angelica felt the temperature in her surroundings suddenly decrease at Minos' comment and slowly moved away her face from his chest to look at him.
"That... That's not quite right."
" Is that so? And how is it?" He asked, looking into her eyes with an expression on his face that matched his sarcastic tone well.
Angelica felt vulnerable at being looked at like that and tried to get out of Minos' arms so she would not have to look him in the eyes so closely. But as she tried to move, she realized she could not take his hands off her body.
"Sigh..." She looked away before pressing her face against his chest again. "It's not that simple, Minos. I'm part of the Gray Clouds Sect. I couldn't keep leaving headquarters to go to the northern region whenever I wanted."
"The Empire has powerful enemies who could at any time endanger my life when I was fragile. After that, I had too many responsibilities to fulfill..."
What she spoke was not a lie. If Minos had grown up in this place, she and her family would still be busy. But because of their proximity, seeing him daily for a few minutes would not be difficult.
But Minos had grown up in the northern region, where weaker people would have to travel for weeks to months just on the one-way trip, so she had not had many chances to be there for him.
Of course, none of this was Minos' fault, so he had every right to feel 'offended' that these people had left him there without maintaining more frequent contact.
But in any case, he was not teasing Angelica about the fact that she and his mother had not been present in his childhood. That had bothered him in the past, but Minos had gotten over it several years ago. No, what made him start this tough conversation was how this woman treated him as if nothing had happened.
That was what irritated him!
What he felt at the moment was similar to what a person would feel when one made an appointment, and the other person did not show up, not even sending a message or explaining why.
In situations like these, the worst thing was not that the appointment did not happen, but the lack of consideration from that person, who did not even try to tell the other that they would not be there.
Sometimes such a thing could even be justified since problems happen and could make people late or even miss their appointments. But everything could be solved with a simple warning, a conversation.
In this situation, sometimes, one party did not warn the other that they would be absent, and the one who waited would be exceptionally disappointed. What Minos felt was similar to this. He had never heard such justification, only encountered Maisie and Angelica in situations where they treated him as if they had never done anything wrong as if the problem did not exist.
So he felt very irritated to hear something similar to what she said, considering that she was the one who chose not to see him for many years.
Thus, Angelica's belated justification was of little importance to him!
