Chapter 491 I’ll Meet You In Midgard

Chapter 491 I’ll Meet You In Midgard

Ethan, who was now being hugged by his biological mother, closed his eyes and listened to her cries of sadness.

The moment his eyes landed on her for the first time, he felt a tug on his heart, which prompted him to call out mother, wanting to know if she had been the one who left him behind on that dark stormy night.

No.

That wasn’t it.

This wasn’t the first time that he had seen her.

When he went to clear the maze under the Dud Manor, he saw her for the first time.

Heck, he even fought against her.

He already had doubts back then if the woman he fought against was really his mother, and seeing her now, all the doubts he had disappeared completely.

“I’m sorry. I was wrong to leave you behind.” Catherine cried as she held Ethan tightly. “I was wrong. I’m sorry.”

She repeated those words over and over again, asking for forgiveness for the crime of abandoning her child.

Ethan would be lying if he said that he didn’t feel angry.

He would be lying if he said that he wasn’t feeling sad.

But to his surprise, he didn’t feel any hate toward her.

Maybe this was due to his upbringing. His adoptive grandparents had raised him with love and care, even spoiling him rotten.

They filled the role of his parents and loved him unconditionally.

Of course, there were times when he would feel envious of other children, especially those whose families went on trips with their parents or took a stroll together.

He couldn’t count the number of times he had wished to have his parents with him and feel what it was like to have a family.

A complete family.

All of these and more were denied to him while he was growing up.

But now, as he felt the warmth and wetness of his mother’s tears, he realized that he wasn’t the only one who had been hurting all those years.

This woman, who was his mother, had probably felt more pain than he ever did after their separation.

So, Ethan did what he felt like doing at this time.

He wrapped his arms around his mother and held her tightly.

The young man didn’t say anything and simply held his mother, making up for the time that they hadn’t been together.

Vincent and Cliodhna, who thought that Ethan would push Catherine away, glanced at each other and smiled.

They then both flew toward the sky, leaving the two behind to give them some privacy.

Cliodhna flew towards the Fae, Elves, and Beastkins who had helped them earlier and thanked them properly.

Vincent, on the other hand, chatted with the two Archdevils, whom Ethan’s Father had asked to stay behind.

All of them distanced themselves from the island, allowing the two, who had never seen each other until now, to use this precious moment to bare their feelings for each other.

Nearly half an hour later, Catherine finally stopped crying, but she still didn't release her hold on Ethan, afraid that he would disappear from her sight.

Ethan didn't resist and allowed his mother to hug him.

No words were spoken between them because they didn’t know what to talk about. Instead, they simply held each other close, letting their hearts do the talking.

“I think I will be leaving soon,” Ethan said softly because he could feel the tug of his physical body. “Will I see you again, Mother?”

Catherine reluctantly let go of Ethan and looked at him with reddened eyes.

“Of course,” Catherine replied. “But I can’t visit you anytime soon. It will have to wait until you come of age.”

Ethan nodded his head in understanding.

Emma and his Other Half told him that he would know more about his background after he went to Midgard to undertake the coming-of-age trial.

“Mother, I think I still have some time, so I’ll tell you my current situation,” Ethan stated. “Right now, I have five lovers. All of them are beautiful, kind, and amazing girls. Although there are mishaps in our relationships, we are all doing our best to make it work out.”

Ethan had included Chloe in the number of lovers he mentioned because he had no intention of letting her go.

“F-Five?!” Catherine was shocked to hear that her son already had five lovers before his coming-of-age ceremony.

“Yes, Mother,” Ethan nodded. “And I want you to meet them soon. I’m sure they would like to meet you as well. Of course, you also need to meet Grandma Agnes and Grandpa Benjamin. They are the ones who raised me with love and care. I want you to meet them as well.”

“Of course,” Catherine replied in a heartbeat. “I’ll meet your grandparents, and properly thank them for raising you into a wonderful young man. I will also apologize to them for leaving you behind.”

Ethan smiled when he remembered the talk he had with Grandma Agnes two years ago.

The old lady mentioned that if Ethan’s real parents were to appear in front of her, she would slap them both with her flip-

flops.

The young man didn’t know how serious his grandma was when she said those words, but he believed that she wouldn’t really do that after seeing how sad Catherine was.

“I am also studying in Brynhildr Magical Academy,” Ethan added. “I recently got the title of Honorary Knight from the King of Eastshire. I am now a small-time noble, without any lands to show for it.”

Catherine giggled before cupping her son’s face.

“You’re not a small-time noble, Ethan,” Catherine said with a smile. “As for lands? You don’t have to worry about that either. You will know of it once you come to Midgard.”

Ethan smiled before nodding his head.

“Mother, it’s time for me to go.”

“Mmm.”

Ethan’s mother kissed her son’s forehead and looked into his eyes.

“I’ll meet you in Midgard,” Catherine promised. “Feel free to bring your lovers if you can. I would love to meet them.”

“Understood,” Ethan replied before kissing Catherine’s cheek. “See you soon, Mother. Be safe, always.”

“You too, Ethan.” Catherine hugged the young man tightly. “Be safe for my sake, my love.”

A moment later, Ethan’s Astral Body turned into particles of light.

The moment her son disappeared from her arms, Catherine once again covered her face and cried.

She had just reunited with her baby, and yet, they had to part again.

It made her feel sad all over again.

Suddenly, a pair of strong hands wrapped around her waist from behind as if showing support to her.

Catherine turned around and buried her head in her husband’s chest as she cried her eyes out for the second time.

But her tears were not just tears of sadness.

They were also tears of joy and relief, knowing that her son didn’t hate her.

After many years of heartache, Catherine felt as if she was given a second chance at life.

A second chance to become a mother.

With this warm and joyful feelings dancing in her heart, she wished with every fiber of her being for Ethan to come to Midgard soon.

So that both of them would be truly reunited at last.
