Chapter 526

• After gathering my things, I decided to leave in a hurry. The contract would end when I set foot outside Éldrim. The fastest way to do that was to use the teleportation stone in the center of the royal city.
• My desire to stay by Ethan’s side forever was now being suffocated by the pain I felt. From the beginning, when he proposed fulfilling my dream of having a daughter, I knew I shouldn’t get attached to him, but I couldn’t help it. It would be easier for me if we just did what we needed to do, without commitment. Still, he insisted on being generous and attentive, on being present.
• Many times, I believed he did it because he had feelings for me, and maybe that’s why I opened up my emotional defenses. I lived in a city where witches believed in love, and that marked me so much that I thought maybe it could be possible for me.
