Tale of a Hedonistic wizard

Chapter 341 Stay away from my mother

Jennifer, her eyes heavy with exhaustion and bid the men goodnight.She planted a soft kiss on Pierre's cheek before ascending the creaking wooden stairs to her room.

The atmosphere shifted subtly as Jennifer's footsteps faded. Pierre's jovial demeanor slipped, revealing a more somber countenance. He reached for a bottle of amber liquid on a nearby shelf, pouring generous measures into two glasses. Handing one to Jaegar, he settled back into his chair with a weary sigh.

"You know," Pierre began, his voice low and tinged with sadness, "a lot's changed since you've been gone. My parents... they've split up." He took a long swig from his glass, the firelight reflecting in his eyes. "After thirty years of marriage, Can you believe it?"

Jaegar leaned forward, concern etched on his face. He remembered Pierre's mother, and suddenly he felt guilty for the things he did. With all things happening around him, he had forgotten about that incident. At that time, it just happened, and it wasn't like he planned it or anything. It just happened as his perverted mind took over. Now he was regretting why he did that.

He opened his mouth to offer words of comfort, but Pierre continued, his tone shifting from melancholy to something harder, more accusatory.

"When were you going to tell me about your affair with my mother?"

The words hung in the air like a thunderclap. Jaegar, who had been taking a sip of his drink, suddenly choked and sputtered. The liquid sprayed from his mouth in a fine mist, glistening in the firelight. His eyes, wide with shock and disbelief, locked onto Pierre's face,

Their glasses clinked together, the sound ringing clear in the quiet room. As they drank, the fire crackled merrily, and outside, the clouds parted further, bathing the snow-covered landscape in soft moonlight.
