Chapter 476

Auteur: Lightmoon
Marisol sighed and crouched down. She held Andre in her arms, gently patting his back as she spoke softly and slowly.

"Andre, you need to remember that violence is always the absolute last resort. It doesn't solve anything and only makes things more complicated. You get hurt, other people get hurt, and this time it was just minor injuries.

"But what if something serious happened by accident? What would I do then? From now on, when something happens, come to me first, or find an adult, okay?"

Andre wanted to say that wouldn't happen. After all, Otto and Logan had taught him how to hit people in ways that looked dramatic but didn't cause serious injuries.

Some methods didn't even leave marks, though he hadn't mastered those techniques yet. Besides, his classmates were all so weak they couldn't even fight back against him.

In the end, he didn't say any of that. Instead, he snuggled affectionately in Marisol's arms. It had been so long since she had looked at him this way or been

    The food was divine, and Marisol could hardly stop herself from eating. Noticing her delight, Nick's smile widened. Slipping on a glove, he leisurely began peeling shrimp for her. His voice was low and warm. "Try some of the other dishes too. They're just as good." "Mmm." Marisol popped a candied yam into her mouth, then hurried to stop him. "I can do it myself. You should eat too." "Alright."Nick didn't persist. He set a few pieces of peeled shrimp on her plate, removed the gloves, and started on his own meal. He knew Marisol well. He understood the boundaries of closeness she could accept, and he never pushed too hard. He would edge forward just enough before drawing back at the right moment, letting her grow accustomed to his nearness and presence. He had to melt away her defenses, little by little. What he wanted was a partnership built on mutual respect and a bond that lasted a lifetime. That required patience, which was something he had in abundance. If he had on

    "Why does everyone keep saying that?" Marisol shook her head with a light laugh, clearly unconcerned. "Zayne told me to stay away from you, too, you know."With that, she turned and continued walking. Nick was momentarily stunned before he caught up to her. A quiet laugh escaped him. "Is that so? Do you feel the same way, Sol?" "I wouldn't be here today if I did," she replied with a smile. Regardless of intention, Marisol had no desire to drag Nick into the conflict, and she trusted the Mullers' ability to handle their affairs. Yet when it came to integrity and trust, the Mullers could never compare to Nick, who had known her since her youth. In truth, unlike the Mullers, Nick had never once hurt her. Being around him had always felt easy and comfortable. As for Zayne's warning, Marisol had dismissed it entirely. How could she trust the word of someone who had wounded her so deeply, especially when those words were meant to caution her against a man who had never brought h

    In the narrow, winding alley, Marisol came to an abrupt halt. She turned to stare in surprise at Nick, whose smile remained unreadable. What did she think of Zayne? Setting aside the question itself, the two men barely knew each other, and Nick had never shown this sort of curiosity before. It felt oddly out of place. "Why are you asking about him so suddenly?" she questioned. Her brow furrowed. "I just want to be certain. If you truly can't stand him, I can find a way to remove him and give you some peace," Nick explained. "Find a way? What way?" she pressed. Nick smiled, but he offered no further explanation.There were methods, of course. However, he didn't intend to share them with Marisol. Any move against Zayne would mean crossing the Mullers. After all, he was their loyal employee. Yet even a good dog could turn savage without a master's hand. Nick had tolerated it thus far because he was well aware of the history between the Mullers and the McConnells overseas.

    "Not going to sleep a little longer?" Nick asked. From the driver's seat, he glanced over with a gentle smile."Why didn't you wake me?" Marisol sat up hurriedly. The white coat that had been draped over her slipped down. The faint scent of fresh greenery lingered, and a subtle flush rose to her ears. "You were sleeping so soundly. I thought it best not to wake you," Nick replied. "Was it stress that kept you up? Or something else?" "Just a bad dream," she replied vaguely. Her gaze drifted toward the quiet alley outside. "Where are we? Have we arrived? I don't see a restaurant." "Not yet." Leaning closer, Nick unfastened her seatbelt. With a smile, he continued, "We have to walk from here. Cars can't get through the alleys ahead." "Alright." Marisol pushed the car door open and stepped out. Almost at once, wisps of willow fluff drifted past. At the mouth of the alley stood a tree adorned with delicate pink flowers. Beyond it, a narrow, uneven lane twisted between misma

    After a long silence, Marisol finally composed herself. The urge for confrontation had drained away, leaving only a cool indifference. "Once the Kyro situation is resolved, will you finally leave me alone?" "Yes," Zayne replied. "How much longer will that take?" "Overseas is his territory. But the moment he sets foot in Cerulea, the advantage shifts to ours. For now, he hasn't shown any intention of crossing the border." "How long must I wait, then?" she asked."It won't be long. He will come, and that day isn't far," Zayne responded. His tone carried a quiet certainty. With the greatest threat within Cerulea already gone, even a man as cautious as Kyro would eventually lower his guard. He could likely wait a year before he struck again. He wouldn't have the patience to wait longer. Once he crossed the border, the roles of hunter and prey would blur. Marisol let out a cold laugh. "You're not asking me to wait another year, are you?" "No." Fine. She could endure a lit

    Outside the cemetery, two cars were parked along the wooded lane. The door of an orange vehicle hung open. Inside, Marisol sat pale-faced, sipping warm water slowly from a thermal cup. She took a moment to steady herself before shooting a glance at Zayne, who stood waiting outside the car. "Seriously, Zayne, what are you doing sneaking up on me in the middle of the night?" she snapped. Did he have any idea how terrifying that was? Was he out of his mind? Zayne's expression remained neutral, though a hint of resignation tinged his voice. "Mrs. Muller, you left so suddenly in the dead of night and came here of all places. I worried something might happen, so I followed you. I didn't expect—" "Don't call me Mrs. Muller!" Marisol hissed. "...Ms. Speight, then."Realizing that something was wrong, a cold edge sharpened her tone. "Are you watching me? Tracking me?" "I need to keep you safe at all times," Zayne replied matter-of-factly. "And it would be impossible not to know
