Chapter 1613 - Forgotten Love
Five minutes passed.
Tina Roxley opened her eyes by this time, feeling rejuvenated as if it was almost magical. The pure white light descending on her body and soul from Davis's palm faded as he dropped his hands, but her gaze, when she opened her eyes, hastily searched for him before it remained on him.
"Welcome back, Tina."
"Davis..."
Tina Roxley sat back as she uttered her name for the fourth time without any kind of reservations. She looked at him with her glazed amethyst eyes before she sweetly smiled at him.
"I'm exhilarated that you're alive but what is this about calling me your love? Did I forget something? Did something happen between us? Please forgive my ignorance because I don't remember a thing from the-"
"Calm down, Tina."
Looking at her become more anxious, Davis placed his hands on her shoulders and placated her.
"You did not forget anything, but I remembered."
Tina Roxley paused for a moment before she uttered.
"Remembered what?"
"Our fate together..."
Tina Roxley became stunned. Her lips trembled, not knowing what to say.
"Davis... You're not kidding, right?"
"Yes, the divination... you were right about it."
Davis smiled before he sent her a soul transmission.
"I already believed your words and gave you plenty of chances as I had my suspicions after having a glimpse of our life together. However, I made you suffer, not knowing that it was my jumbled feelings from a forgotten timeline that were hindering my growing love for you. But while I was in a coma for seven months, I saw it... I came to know that we had once shared destiny together."
Tina Roxley was utterly dumbfounded, but her expression fell.
"What? You were in a coma for seven months!?" She yelled out, appearing to be terrified.
Davis took his hands from her shoulders and rubbed his face, "That's where you place your doubt on?"
"No, no. I believe you..." Tina Roxley fumblingly shook her head, "But how can you be in a coma for seven months? I thought only a few days had passed. Nothing happened to you, right?"
"Tina Roxley." Davis's expression became solemn, "If you don't care about yourself starting from now, I'm going to get really angry, you know..."
Tina Roxley's expression became a bit startled. She blinked before she nodded her head. Davis's expression relaxed as he saw her complying. This woman was crazy for him, but if she loses herself in the process of pursuing him, he wouldn't like that, especially now that he could understand her state of mind.
He viewed his original fate, but similarly, Tina Roxley also knew glimpses of their forgotten fate through divination. The feelings she developed towards him were all hers, while his feelings towards her were both induced through experiencing the original fate and spending a short time with her under the influence of the original fate's Davis, although it was now all him in the end.
'Well, it's better to call it original fate that derailed. Derailed fate...'
Davis inwardly nodded before he sat beside her and grabbed her soft hands that already warmed from her previous chillness.
"Don't be worried, Tina. I'm not lying when I say I love someone because I know the difference between like and love, and I know for a fact that I... love you!"
"Wai-"
Tina Roxley found this so hard to believe even though she craved hearing those words. Her expression went crimson in embarrassment, but she tried her best to make sense of it.
The man that she pursued finally accepted her? Even though that was what she wanted, she was afraid that it was all a dream. Tears unwittingly fell from her eyes as she never felt as happy as this before ever since she killed her father, no even before that.
"Really...?"
Davis knew that words weren't going to help anymore. He leaned towards her and took her luscious lips that had regained back their health, causing her to widen her eyes in shock before she gradually closed her eyes. It wasn't craving each other but accepting each other.
Tina Roxley's heart was covered with tremendous happiness. As she felt him gently caress her lips, it was as if warmth surrounded her entire being, making her aware that he truly did accept him. After all, this man that did not touch her even though she made many moves and even acted seductively at times in a selfish manner was practically showering her with his tender love at the moment.
She now wholeheartedly believed that he loved her.
Opening her eyes, Tina Roxley saw his piercing gaze before she became shy.
Davis licked his lips as he savored her unique remnant flavor.
After Isabella mentioned that his taste was different, finding that he kissed Evelynn, he finally learned to clean his mouth by using his essence energy with water attribute to clean his mouth. Creating a little bit of water didn't pose any threat to his fire and lightning attributed meridians or revolving core but just took more energy but was still insignificant as he just made a small amount.
It went the same for cleaning his body after becoming dirty.
Therefore, when he kissed the others, his mouth was clean. They were all agreeable to kiss him after another woman seized his mouth without even being the slightest bit disgusted nowadays, so that was the least amount of respect he could show them, although he felt bad that he should've learned this sooner.
There were many matters on his mind, but only a little time to act on them individually.
Davis stood up and looked at Fiora, who possessed a crimson hue on her face while her eyes appeared glazed. He waved her hand in front of her face, causing her to come out of her reverie.
"Ah~"
"Are you hurt...?"
"What is there to feel hurt about? I'm not the first wife. I felt that it was romantic although, I do feel a bit jealous that it was not me..."
Fiora pouted as she moved her gaze away.
Davis smiled amusingly at her honest character before he put his hand on her shoulder.
"Fiora, can you show Tina around? I'm sorry to put an additional bur-"
"No, I'm grateful that I can do something of use. These few months were really hell for me, not really able to do anything other than cultivating, taking care of you and Tina. Please, let me do it. I want to be useful to you...!"
"..."
Davis's mouth hung slightly agape as he was taken aback. He couldn't help but then smile as he wrapped his arms around her waist and tightly hugged her, knowing that he wasn't treating her as good as the others.
"I'll make it up to you soon, wifey."
Fiora's eyes trembled as she deeply inhaled his scent while laying her head over his chest.
"I'm honored, husband..."
Fiora's heart was practically on cloud nine as she heard him call him wifey. If her memory served her right, he never called her that before, and she felt that she made a big step closer to his heart than before.
"Tina, obediently stay here. Your father and sister would be brought here as well, so don't worry."
"I- I understand. I'll wait for you here." Tina Roxley hurriedly replied.
Davis nodded and brought Nadia away.
Tina Roxley and Fiora were left alone before they looked at each other, possessing an awkward smile on their face.
"Umm... Thank you for taking care of me these seven months."
"No, I just spent a bit of time." Fiora raised her hand, "It was my elder sister who mostly took care of you."
"Natalya, was it?"
"You know my elder sister?" Fiora blinked.
"Oh, I know a bit about you all as I asked about you all when I ran out of things to talk with Davis."
Tina Roxley couldn't help but still radiate an awkward smile.
Fiora's lips curved into a teasing smile.
"It can't be like this... Everyone else must know about you. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a fair exchange."
"Uh... no! Wait..."
Tina Roxley's expression was full of panic.
She did well in a public setting and knew how to socialize with people due to her job's nature, but these people were all her man's women. She felt that she must make a big impression on them when they meet, but they were all talented and beautiful in their own right.
When she saw how they battled during the grand banquet, she was severely taken aback and felt completely inferior that she felt like she had no chance with Davis at all.
Moreover, Dragon Queen Isabella, who was at the ninth stage, was also his, and yet, he was showering his love with her, causing her to be a bit frightened to meet them. Wouldn't they be angered if they see a lowly woman with little talent like her trying to become one of them?
Abruptly, she glanced at Fiora and couldn't help but ask this Law Seed Stage Cultivator.
"You too are talented like the others, right?"
"Me?"
Fiora contemplated for a moment before her lips widened again.
"I'm just a woman who managed to slither her way into his heart through her elder sister. Hehehe~"
Tina Roxley's expression became dumbfound while Fiora amusingly laughed.

In the hidden island, Davis stood before the sealed lightning space.
"Hmph!"
He practically harrumphed in arrogance and shot forwards as life energy covered him, causing the entirety of the lightning arcs around him to retreat.
On the other hand, Nadia was inside his soul sea, already made a beast pact with him again to feel like she was at home!
