Chapter 992 My Beautiful Monster Part 93

Lucifer is silent.

"Memories or not, you can\'t separate the two." Toh trails off. "I actually wanted to discuss this with you when you came back, it\'s already been over two months. She needs to go back."

".."

"Putting aside your conflicting feelings for her friends, children and the man she loves. Have you forgotten something?" Toh asked. "Her career boss, everything she has worked hard for. Do you really want to take that away from her?"

Hearing Toh\'s words, Lucifer grabbed hold of Toh\'s collar. "You know I don\'t." Lucifer snapped. "But I don\'t want her to-"

Before he could unleash his anger on Toh. He felt a pair of arms wrap around his from the back. He knew even without turning around who they belonged to.

Lucifer froze. How long has she been awake? Did she hear all that?

Toh sighed and slipped free from his grasp. "Talk to him beautiful."

Sumire nodded and mumbled thanks before Toh exited the room. At first neither of them said anything when Sumire tugged on his hand asking him to turn around. Lucifer reluctantly did so. 

"This certainly isn\'t how I wanted to tell you. But when you were gone, I started to get more of my memories back." Sumire paused.

Lucifer immediately understood what she was doing.

"Memories from this life." Sumire mumbled.

Her next words shattered him even more. He knew it was only a matter of time, he saw all the signs even before he checked on the border. But, he didn\'t think it would happen this soon. Lucifer thought he still had time.

"So I know, that you lied to me and that were not really in a relationship. I know that Sora- I know I\'m Yuhi\'s girlfriend and it seems I have children."

Hah, so she knows nearly everything. 

"I asked Toh to confirm it for me and he did."

Of course he did. He did tell Toh that if she figures it out on her own, he no longer has to keep his word.

"If you wish to call the wedding off then, I shall make the arrangements."

"No!" Sumire suddenly exclaimed. 

"No?"

"That\'s not--I know you lied to me. But, after everything that\'s happened. I can\'t exactly return to whatever life I had before."

"So its because you can\'t go back? Relax. I don\'t think he will judge you for sleeping with me when you have no memories."

If it makes it hard for her to return because of that. He could simply erase him from her memory. Although that be a last resort. To his surprise he hears sobbing, to find that the girl had burst into tears. It pained him seeing her in this state. But, he couldn\'t bring himself to hold her like he normally would.

"Why are you crying?" Lucifer managed to ask.

"I don\'t want to leave. don\'t you get it? I know you lied but I don\'t want to leave." Sumire exclaimed. 

Lucifer blinked surprised at her words. He wasn\'t expecting this response from her. She is on the verge of remembering everything already. She knows they aren\'t truly together.

"Your only saying that because you don\'t remember everything. Once you do, you will certainly leave on your own."

"Thats not it you idiot!" Sumire exclaimed as she suddenly moved closer and grabbed hold of his face. "Also, we are having a conversation or not?"

"We are but-" Lucifer said confused.

"Good, then look at me. I know you lied but I\'m still going to choose you."

Lucifer shakes his head. "Your other daughter, it seems she needs you and you have a career. Something you worked really hard for."

"So, you\'re just going to let me go?"

Lucifer nodded and he sees the tears in her eyes again and he finally moved to embrace her tightly. 

"I don\'t want to let you go my heart, you know that. But you have to return."

Sumire sobbed but she didn\'t say anything about not leaving him. It pained him that she wasn\'t trying to fight. But she must understand after she overheard that conversation. 

"T-the child, Kyoko." Sumire stammered. "I regained some memories of her too. I have to-"

Lucifer nodded. "I know."

"I won\'t leave right away. Can we still hold the ceremony, and wait until I give birth?"

He looked at her in disbelief. She still wants to go through with the ceremony? Even if she just feels sorry for him she doesn\'t have to do that. No more importantly.

"You still want my child?" Lucifer said surprised.

Sumire laughed softly. "Of course I do. I said so didn\'t I? That I want your children."

But he lied to her.

She brushes her forehead against his. "The ceremony, and the child. These are the only things I can leave behind that showed that I did not regret our time together. You may have lied to me, but, you made me very happy. You showered me with so much love and happiness. I can\'t hate you."

This truly feels like a dream to him. Lucifer expected her to hate him after all of this. He was prepared to be on the receiving end of her hate again. But, this is not what happened. She has truly changed. If it was the past her, she definitely wouldn\'t have forgiven him.

"Is it still okay? Do you not want me too-" Sumire said, sensing his unease.

Lucifer shakes his head. "It\'s not like that my heart. Of course I want you to give birth. But, you won\'t be here for the child and I am sure that will hurt you."

"It will be difficult for me to be away from this child and you, but I have to don\'t I?"

Lucifer nodded and Sumire pushed him down on the bed, her lips on his neck. He chuckles sensing her heightened desire.

"I have to, so before then. I will get my fill of you as much as I can." 

His gaze softens at her words. It hurts that she will have to leave soon, but for now. For now he can be satisfied with this situation. As long as they have the ceremony, even if they do not formally exchange vows. He can still have some claim to her and it will be difficult for her to get married to Terashima. She probably has no idea.
