Chapter 1313 Another Sentence of "I'm Sorry"

"Delphi? Delphi?"

At the dining table, Maca dangled her finger in front of the child, teasing her with a smile on her face. Behind him, Luna looked at the scene carefully with a curious face, and seemed to be a little eager to try.

Perhaps it was because Maca hadn't been by his side all this time, little Delphine was a little wary of this strange man, as if he wasn't very happy to play around with Maca.

Not long after, Maca shook his head pretending to be regretful, then raised his eyebrows and said:

"It seems that even if I want to recognize her as a daughter, she may not agree, will she?"

"How can we blame our lovely little Delphi?" Cathy, who was holding the child, suddenly said unhappily, "It's just that you are incompetent as a 'father'!"

"Oh, alright, alright! I admit this..." Maca shrugged immediately, "Well, let me think about it... Let's do this! Let me make up a birthday present for our little Delphi!"

While speaking, he quickly reached into his arms, and then took out a string of necklace-shaped things from his breast pocket.

That's right, according to time, little Delphi has actually passed one year old.

And the next moment, a child sitting opposite was suddenly surprised and said:

"Time-Turner?"

"Oh, you know it?" Maca's face was very calm, and he immediately nodded and said, "That's right, the Time-Turner—and it's a very special one."

As he spoke, he pinched the necklace composed of the golden ring and the time hourglass, and showed the edge to everyone present.

"Look, I've carved little Delphi's name on it with my own hands."

Cathy, who was the closest, couldn't help taking a closer look when she heard the words, and soon she was surprised:

"Maka... are you really going to let little Delphi take your surname?"

No matter how much she made a fuss before, it was just a joke. Because even if she doesn't know the specific life experience of little Delphi, she can't really be Maca's daughter no matter what she thinks, so she just thinks that little Delphi was picked up by Maca or entrusted by someone else. For Maca's children.

From the performance of Maca in the past,

The smart Cathy had always thought that he probably didn't want to have such an extra adopted daughter out of thin air.

But now, Maca actually gave Delphi her surname!

"Oh……"

For a while, everyone here was actually very surprised. And then, they couldn't help but feel happy for little Delphi.

It is definitely a very bad thing to have no parents. Everyone present felt deeply about this. But if after losing his parents, he got a gentle and strong father like Maca, it would be a kind of luck.

"what!"

Suddenly, Cathy, who was still immersed in astonishment just now, seemed to realize something again, and couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

"Maka, you... are you planning to take Delphi away when you come here this time?"

Obviously, Cathy was reluctant - Maca couldn't help smiling when she saw her complicated expression that was somewhat worried but tried hard to hide.

"No, little Delphi will continue to stay here! You will probably need to work hard in the days to come! Well... if you want, you can raise her here."

"Oh! Really?" Cathy's eyes seemed to radiate a different kind of brilliance when she heard this, "This is really wonderful... To be honest, I thought I was going to watch someone take her away sooner or later The... um."

Cathy herself was not very old, it was only because she was born precocious that day that Maca decided to ask her to help take care of little Delphi. But now Maca finds that Cathy's motherhood is even deeper than he imagined.

As for whether there is Cathy's own nostalgia for her mother, it is unknown.

Of course, Maca didn't think about this issue any further. The next moment, he stretched out his index finger to draw a few characters in the air on the small hourglass on the pendant, and cast a fixed spell on it.

"Although this thing is precious and beautiful, it's also a bit dangerous after all... Well, it's okay like this."

After poking the hourglass in the middle to confirm that it could no longer be turned, Maca held the gold chain and shook it in front of little Delphi.

Such shiny things are naturally the children's favorite. As soon as little Delphi saw it, he couldn't help reaching out for it.

Seeing this, Maca put it in her hand.

"I remember when I 'met' her, she also had a necklace around her neck—that was also a magic item, and it was related to black magic..."

"dark magic!"

When Maca casually talked about this little old story, everyone couldn't help turning their eyes to him again.

And then, I heard Maca continue:

"Yes, black magic—that's why I immediately decided to take the necklace away. Now, this can be regarded as my compensation to her!"

"Could it be..." Cathy couldn't help asking subconsciously when she heard him say this, "The name of little Delphi was on that necklace back then? That's why you—"

"Ok?"

Her words made Maca slightly taken aback. To be honest, he has been thinking about some other things all the time, and he really hasn't thought of this reason.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded immediately.

"Yes, that's right... In any case, she should have a surname, but the original one can't be used for some reason."

Maca confirmed Cathy's conjecture, but in fact, how could Voldemort think of engraving a name on his daughter's necklace?

Even the necklace that contained black magic back then contained only his full selfishness.

Of course, Maca is not only unwilling to mention this kind of thing, but also too lazy to think about it. Whatever Tom Riddle's intentions in leaving a necklace to his daughter was, it would have been useless today.

Because Maca had already destroyed that thing.

Putting aside some of the memories in his head, Maca reached out and stroked little Delphi's hair again. Seeing that the little guy only looked up at him, and then immediately turned his attention to the shiny time-turner, Maca smiled.

It seems that because of this cute little gift, she reluctantly accepts Maca's touch.

"By the way." Turning his head slightly, Macafu looked at Cathy again, "When she grows up, remember to put it away for her, and you will give it to her in the future."

"You don't need to tell me that!" Cathy immediately waved her hand when she heard this, and said with an adult look, "I know better than you how to raise a daughter."

When everyone couldn't help laughing, she stared and looked around in a hurry, and then couldn't help herself, and giggled.

Perhaps it was only when she was laughing that this little Cathy really showed a bit of a child's feeling.

And when the children, big and small, around the dining table kept interrupting, everyone suddenly heard a shout from outside the restaurant gate, causing them to stop laughing and turn their heads to look.

"Maca—"

"What's the matter, Willie?" Maka looked at the figure who suddenly rushed to the door from the side of the door, and said loudly, "Fertilization is done? Huh? Didn't you meet Helen? She went to the courtyard to find you!"

"Helen?"

Willie probably ran all the way here, and she was still a little out of breath up to this moment. After she breathed a sigh of relief, she said doubtfully again:

"No?"

"Really?" Maca shrugged immediately after hearing this, "Then it's probably because you two went astray."

"Well?"

Wei Li stood at the door blankly for a while, looked back and forth between the inside and the outside of the door, and then turned around and ran out a little unwillingly.

Not long after, when everyone found that Helen was running back by herself shouting "Where's Willie", Maca suddenly smiled lightly and said:

"Are you two playing hide-and-seek? Hey... Helen, don't run back, just stay here and wait for her!"

Seeing the children who were rescued by him from the dungeon at the beginning, all of them approached and teased Helen with a smile, the smile on Maca's face increased a bit.

But besides smiling, when he shifted his eyes to the little Delphi in Cathy's arms again, there was an inexplicable trace of apology in that smile that he didn't have before.

At this moment, except for Luna, who was always standing behind him and watching him silently, no one noticed the slight change in his expression.

"sorry."

In Maca's heart, this word that St. Mungo had spoken to the "future" Delphi was flowing again now.

What is he apologizing for?

At least for now, only he himself knows the reason, and even Luna, who is as thorough as his mind, absolutely has no way of knowing.

However, the next moment Maca suddenly felt a slight warmth in the palm of his hand, and a small hand quietly reached up and shook it lightly.

He looked back suddenly, and saw Luna blinking her big bright silver-gray eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a reassuring arc.

"thanks."

Maca didn't feel surprised by her sensitivity, but he didn't give any explanation either. He just moved slightly to Luna's lips and silently thanked her.

Soon, when Willie ran in from the outside panting again, Maka finally left here and stepped forward to meet her.

He and Luna did not stay long at Castle Blois.

After that, he just sat down with everyone and chatted for a while, asking them how their lives were going recently. After hearing that Mr. Blois had arranged a good teacher for them, he asked about the specific courses along the topic, and discussed some courses with everyone casually.

Yes, it seemed that he really just came to visit everyone this time, that's all.
