"Taya…" Viktor held her hands gently as he turned around and gave her a consoling hug, not wanting her to beat herself up anymore, knowing how much she must have struggled all by herself just so that she could live with him longer.
But in pursuit of that, she forgot about the number of years she already had and the fact that she could have spent them with him.
Before, Viktor was quite angry and sad about Taya being someone he couldn't recognise, especially considering how she was not telling him anything. He even had decided to not forgive her easily without making her understand how long she kept him hanging while hurting him.
But only now he realized that she was afraid of him trying to stop her from pursuing a way of staying with him forever or at least long enough to be a memory that won't fade away from his heart any time soon.
Since Viktor was immortal, he knew he could never truly understand how Taya or his previous wives must have felt when thinking about how they would fade away into oblivion while he would continue to live on.
Would they still live on in the heart of an immortal like him after their deaths? Would memories of them be washed away from his heart after 50 years? What about 100 years or 500 years or after an eternity?
This was what people feared the most whenever it involved their loved ones. It was not the fear of death that worried them the most but the fact that if their loved ones would remember them after their deaths.
If even ordinary people had such worries for their loved ones, who were people that wouldn't usually live more than a hundred years, how would one feel if their loved one was an immortal?
Even though it was very dark, Viktor could easily see everything. Her cheeks really were beautiful like cherry blossoms, her skin incredibly smooth. Not even white pearls could compare to her beauty, "I am really sorry...Viktor...I have always been yours and all these years pushing you away every single time were the most painful moments of my life. If I could get relive these 20 years...I-I would have held on to you..."
"Taya…remember…no matter how many years we have together…You will always be in my heart. You are not going anywhere else…okay?" Viktor asked in a warm voice as he hooked his finger under her chin, gently raising her face up.
The small drops of warm tears that were trickling down her rosy cheeks were wiped away by Viktor's finger gently, though her watery eyes were still closed shut.
Viktor kissed her warm eyes softly to make her know that he had already forgiven her and that she wouldn't be alone anymore.
Taya's lips trembled as she softly smiled, feeling his warmth, and was happy that he wasn't going to hate her or anything. She knew if it was someone else, they might not have shown the patience Viktor did but was instead happy that he never gave up on her all this time.
She also told him that she was unable to tell him certain things...things that were some of the important things she had no choice but to hide from him, especially the things revolving around her experiments and the recent incidents. But still he decided to understand her situation without any reasonable explanation.
He knew that she had been trying to achieve immortality or something close to it all these years and why she was pushing him away and even lied to him about Tiana.
But Taya decided not to tell him about her research getting stolen since she decided to solve it by herself since she couldn't bring herself to burden Viktor anymore with her problems or let him bear the responsibilities for the mistakes she made. She knew if she mentions any of her problems no matter how big or small to Viktor, he would solve it for her even if she insists him not to.
However, she had no idea that Viktor had planned to keep a close eye on her to know what was it that she was forced to hide from him and see what things she had been involved with. He knew she was not involved with anything that could hurt him but he was worried about if she would get hurt.
Viktor slowly raised his head and looked at her as he said in a soothing tone, "Besides…don't worry your little head about the future. We never know what kind of surprises fate has in store for us. Maybe one day your worries won't be worries anymore."
Viktor sincerely meant what he said since he had already heard from Umilia about how Sayana was born with an Odic Heart because of an experiment. So he felt that if he digs deeper into this organization and finds some answers, maybe he and Taya could work together to discover a method that could safely prolong her life.
Of course, he decided to not tell her about those things now till he could make sure Taya wouldn't get hurt. But he felt that even if that method fails, there should be another, either through magical means to try and prolong Taya's life. He had already decided to seek answers for the same now that he knew that this world had supernatural secrets he never expected or knew.
Also he now had the support of the Fujo Clan, at least through the patriarch and was optimistic that he could discuss with him later and see if there was any way to make a Regular more than just an ordinary human.
Taya was surprised to hear his words and even sense an air of confidence in his voice as she slowly opened her eyes to look at his face that was dimly lit by the moonlight entering through the large windows.
However, she then thought that maybe he was telling this to make her feel at ease and only felt happy that he still cared about her feelings so much.
Viktor then remembered about Nyissa and said, "Actually, I have something to say."
Taya's expression became a bit anxious as she touched his lips and said, "That can wait. But first…kiss me…Viktor…"
Viktor could only inwardly sigh, feeling turned on by her silvery voice as he hugged her slim soft waist, her red lips that looked as beautiful as a bloomed cherry slowly moved towards his lips while closing her eyes.
"Mmh~..." Taya felt a warm feeling spreading from her lips throughout her entire body the moment her lips began to melt into Viktor's.
A kiss she was so eager to share with him for all these years…A kiss she had always dreamed of since the time he left.
Her heart was thumping like anything, making her skin feel hotter and her senses number with his touch.
Viktor's hands were caressing all over her body, feeling her slender curves, her well-proportioned breasts that were soft yet firm at the right places, and her luscious round buttocks that were curvy enough to feel pleasant to squeeze.
"Mmhnn~" Taya's body became hotter and taut as Viktor began to feel her up all over her body, and the fact that she craved his touch for decades only made her body even more sensitive.
She was wearing a simple silver nightgown with thin straps and silky texture, making it easy for Viktor to touch and feel her sensitive spots easily.
As his tongue made its way into her soft, warm mouth, his fingers were already rubbing against her buttcrack from outside her dress, making her clench her buttocks nervously.
It had been a very long time since she was stimulated like this, and the only way she was able to bottle up her craving for Viktor was by dedicating her complete focus to her research.
Viktor finally broke the kiss the moment he sensed Taya was running out of breath and squeezed her juicy breasts as he said, "You know I am not letting you off that easily, right?"
Taya's eyelashes fluttered as she gulped and asked with a pitiful yet seductive expression, "Nephew…how do you want to punish your naughty aunt?" Saying that, she also began to rub his thick cock from the outside while pressing her breasts against his chest.
Seeing how quickly the previously cold and focused Madam of the Snow Family had changed her nature and disposition, Viktor smiled, seeing that the old Taya was indeed back.
