The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse - Chapter 921: Nadia's Family

Chapter 921: Nadia’s Family
“Nadia, you never told me your mother is an angel,” Klaus said, holding the hand of a blonde beauty who, without even thinking, you would know was Nadia’s mother.
They looked the same, except that her mother had long blonde hair, and Nadia had short purple hair. Even so, looking at the woman smiling as Klaus, it was plain as day that there was no need for a DNA test.
“Klaus, stop flirting with my mother,” Nadia said with a pout.
“Don’t mind her, I spoiled her too much when she was young,” Lady Danika said, happy her daughter had finally brought a man home.
She had pestered her many times to get a man, but Nadia was all about her work back then.
However, now, it seemed she was ready to settle, and the man she brought home was none other than Klaus Hanson, the man every mother wants around their daughter.
So as a proud mother, of course, she was happy.
As a single mother, she was happy to see her daughter happy and having a loving husband. Of course, watching the many ladies who came with her daughter, she couldn’t help but wonder how deep Klaus’s appetite truly was.
However, that thought was washed away when she saw how they were all happy and interacting with one another.
They settled down in a garden where the ladies immediately started pestering Nadia about why she never told them anything about her family.
They didn’t even know her mother lived in Ross City back then, when they were staying with Klaus and his Mother.
Meanwhile, Klaus was having some alone time with Lady Danika, the mother of his Puppeteer wife.
“It’s good to finally meet you, mother-in-law. I know I should have come much earlier, but due to various reasons, I didn’t have the time to come.
I now have time to come visit you and let you know I am the man in your daughter’s life,” Klaus said with his charming smile.
Saying no to him would be hard whenever he smiled. His smile is contagious.
“Don’t worry about it, Klaus. Nadia had already told me about you, and knowing your busy schedule, I wasn’t even looking forward to seeing you anytime soon.”
“Well, I am here now, and I will be spending the next couple of hours here, so be ready to handle my troubles.”
Lady Danika laughed and turned to look at her daughter, who was laughing with her sisters.
‘She looked happy. I suppose this is best for her, considering everything that has happened.’ A sigh escaped her lips, one that Klaus saw but was unsure of how to respond.
Asking would make him appear nosy, and ignoring it would also make him feel bad. Knowing something was wrong with his mother-in-law but choosing to ignore it, in his opinion, would be a mistake.
He had to do something.
“Is everything all right, Lady Danika? You looked distant for a second there.” Klaus chose to ask and appear nosy rather than ignore it and remain in the dark.
Of course, there is the situation where he could read her mind and know what was going through her thoughts, but that would be wrong on many accounts, so Klaus chose to be nosy instead.
Lady Danika sighed, took Klaus’s hand, stood up, and started leading him away.
Nadia watched them leave, a sigh escaping her lips. She knew what was about to happen. While she could stop it, she also knew it would happen sooner rather than later, so it might as well happen now.
Soon, Klaus and Lady Danika were seated in a lush hall decorated with the finest leather.
“How is Nadia? Is she okay? Is she happy?” she asked the moment they sat down.
“As far as I can tell, yes, she is fine and happy.”
“I see. That is good, then. At least she managed to move on and find happiness.” A smile appeared on her lips.
“What’s wrong, Lady Danika?” Klaus asked again, this time wanting to know what was going on.
“Do you know all Nadia wanted to do when she was young was to grow up faster and become a warrior?
Her dream was to become a warrior like her father, and for years, she worked toward achieving it.
Becoming a warrior and one day becoming a war goddess was all she wanted.
However, all this dream was shattered when she awakened her class. She was so broken back then. Of course, she soon started trying all she could to overcome her limitations, but what completely broke her was when her father left.
He was her inspiration. However, when he left, she nearly gave up. Had it not been for her friend Lucy, she would have given up.
I only saw a genuine smile on her face when she signed you as her model back then. However, now, seeing her happy and surrounded by friends, I have to thank you,” Lady Danika dropped to her knees, emotions flickering in her eyes.
“Don’t kneel to me, mother-in-law.” Klaus was quick to lift her up.
As a mother, all she ever wanted was for her daughter to be happy, especially one who had almost given up on life. So seeing Nadia happy was all she could have asked for.
“Nadia is now happy, and it was all thanks to you making sure she grew up hanging on to life when her whole world came shattering. You shouldn’t thank me for anything.
I merely came for the finished product.”
Klaus smiled, knowing this visit would last much longer than he expected. He couldn’t, in good conscience, leave without ensuring the mother and daughter received some form of closure.
The mother is happy for her daughter, but has she gotten over the fact that her daughter nearly took her own life? As for Nadia, has she come to the conclusion that her own actions have affected the one closest to her?
They all have regrets they need to come to terms with.
Klaus wanted to fix that because he knew what small things like this could do to someone in the long run. Regrets are something that can cut her growth short if she doesn’t handle them well.
‘She has a serious problem that can impede her growth if I don’t help her now. Why didn’t she tell me anything?’ Klaus’s mind was suddenly occupied with thoughts he never expected he would be thinking now.
‘Does it mean I don’t really know anything about my own wives?’ Klaus realized his limitation, and that alone told him what he had to know and what had to be done.
“Mother-in-law, can you tell me about Nadia from when she was young? I want all the embarrassing stories she would kill to hide. And if there are pictures and videos, I want them all.”
Lady Danika smiled, already looking forward to talking about the past and sharing some moments she would never forget with Klaus.
The adorable Klaus was more than happy to learn all there was to know about his wife from her mother. If all ended well, he would gain a good understanding of his wife and, in a way, know how best to help her when the time came.
Thus, Klaus started spending the morning with his mother-in-law.
