Chapter 723 – Jealousy isn't in My Dictionary
Lux came out of the portal and he was already in his mansion again. His room to be exact.
The air here felt different. Warm. Dense. Safe.
Not like the Celestial realm.
Up there everything had smelled like polished marble and old divinity. Ozone. Holy incense. The faint metallic tang of judgment. Every word weighed. Every pause recorded. Every breath monitored.
He exhaled slowly.
Based on the clock glowing on the far wall, it was past dinner already. Way past. Almost midnight.
Hell.
When he came back from the Celestial realm, it was already late evening. Dinner had passed. He should have messaged. Called. Something.
Except.
He didn't bring his phone.
Because mortal phones did not function in the Celestial realm. Signal interference from divine architecture. He had assumed the meeting would be quick. A controlled appearance. A statement. A power play.
Instead, he got interrogated.
Not violently.
Okay, half violently.
