Since someone would naturally arrive there to take care of the woman’s corpse, there was no need for Javier or Mei to be worried about that.After that, they left the florist and drove back to Mei’s home. Mei lived in an independent manor with beautiful surroundings. On top of that, there was a refreshing wood style about it that made the house seem a little antique. It was already evening at the time. A cute little girl suddenly ran toward Mei the moment she arrived home. The girl was probably 3 years old and she did not seem to be able to run properly yet. However, she kept on running as she sweetly called out to her mother. Mei gave her a smile that was very unlike the way she had smiled at the florist’s, which had been out of politeness.However, the way she smiled at that moment was different because it was genuine and heartfelt. Her eyes were also filled with love. In fact, when the little girl accidentally tripped and fell, her eyes were filled with worry.Mei hurri

“I’m really sorry about that, Mei.”This was the second time Javier had apologized to her that night over an interval of more than an hour.Mei’s face was still flushed, but not out of embarrassment. More like because she seemed drunk.She tidied up her messy clothes and stood up, although it seemed like a chore.After having Javier apologize to her for the second time, Mei said in an embarrassed voice, “It’s alright. It’s part of my duty.”Javier instantly felt slightly stunned upon hearing her reply.‘It’s part of her job to be forcefully taken? Are all Yuzuian women so mild-tempered?’However, Javier then understood that this was not the duty of a normal woman, just Mei’s.This was because, in Mei’s eyes, Javier was helping her seek vengeance, so this was something she should offer in return.With that theory in mind, Mei’s “it’s part of my duty” suddenly made sense.Thus, Javier was too embarrassed to dwell on this topic and changed the subject, asking about Sara’s father

“What a coincidence that we ran into each other here, Mr. Kersey.”Yoel chuckled as he approached with a smiley face. He was no longer the same Yoel Hachison he used to be. Instead, he was now someone who had Renly supporting him from behind. In fact, he was the man who had a chance of becoming the next family leader. Thus, Yoel no longer had to seem as fearful as he was in the past. He even dropped the respectful tone he would’ve used to speak to Javier before. Javier squinted his eyes into tiny smiles and looked at Yoel. “What a coincidence indeed. Do you like coming to Disneyland because you’re as childlike as Sara?”Yoel had obviously gone there to meet Javier, yet Javier ended up criticizing him for being a child, which left a sour taste in Yoel’s mouth. However, as unhappy as he was, he still had to endure this, as he was still weaker than Javier at the end of the day. “Surely you jest, Mr. Kersey. I’m only here to meet Mei and Sara. I didn’t expect to see you here as wel

When Sara woke up the next morning, she went around the house to look for Javier, but he was not there. After remembering that she had suggested that he stay in her mother’s bedroom, Sara headed upstairs and pushed Mei’s bedroom door open.Mei was lying on her bed, sleeping especially soundly and happily.There were piles of tissue paper crumpled up by the bed. Sara had no idea why her mother, who supposedly loved for things to be clean and tidy, would simply litter the floor with used tissues. She also found it very strange when she realized that her mother was smiling sweetly in her sleep. But Sara did not care about any of these things anymore. She shook her mother violently before Mei, who had only fallen asleep not too long ago, woke up. “Mommy, where’s Uncle Javier? I want to see him.”Usually, a person would be in a very bad mood when they were woken up right after they fell asleep. However, as a mother, there was of course no way she would react in such a way to her da

Herschel knew exactly what his job was. He was not disillusioned by any means. What’s more, he was more than stoked to say yes.With Herschel and Gusman taking the lead, a troop of a hundred suited-up soldiers left with their own respective method.Javier took his eyes off Herschel, Gusman, and the others and observed Angelina from the door, his eyes cast far into the horizon, where the troop vanished. He wondered if she could smell something fishy.Quickly, he asked, “Anything else on today’s agenda?”Angelina had been wondering if she should tell Gusman to hold onto any reservations and not obey every single one of Herschel’s orders, but Javier’s question broke her out of her reverie. “No, there’s nothing else,” she replied intuitively. “Nothing planned for today or tomorrow. What’s the matter?”Javier’s lips formed an implicative smirk. He leaned forward, pushing Angelina against the wall before breathing out. “Well, I personally have an agenda, and I would like to have you par
