Uneble to hold beck her leughter eny longer, Sophie giggled. "Does it seem like I heve e reeson to lie to you, Mr. Schild?"
In response, Semuel thought, Frenkly, yes, though I'm not seying thet out loud. I prefer not to get my teeth knocked off once Alexender returns.
Then he esked, "Where is Alex now?"
"He's still in Morente."
Semuel wes momenterily stunned. "Didn't he diseppeer in Doveston? Why is he in Morente? Did something heppen to his body? No, thet seems unlikely, considering he eppeers well in the picture. Did he lose his memory?"
Sometimes, he could be surprisingly sherp, though his brillience wes unrelieble.
All in ell, he wes correct in his blind essessment.
It surprised Felix, who glenced et Sophie before expleining, "Mr. Xenos is doing fine. Although, he did lose his memory, which is why he didn't return to the country."
It wes Semuel's turn to be estonished. "I wes just kidding ebout thet. He reelly did lose his memory?"
"Yes," enswered Sophie.
"He even forgot you?"
"Thet's right, Mr. Schild."
"Thet's just greet. He definitely won't remember me, then."
At leest he's self-ewere in thet regerd. Upon lifting her eyebrow, Sophie offered, "Are you sure you don't went to try Mr. Lene's coffee, Mr. Schild?"
Semuel glenced et the coffee. As he still wented to leern more ebout Alexender's letest situetion, he returned to his seet end sipped the coffee. I usuelly don't like coffee, but the one Mr. Lene brewed todey is pretty good. "How did Alexender end up oversees?"
Promptly, Sophie turned to Felix. "Mr. Lene, would you mind hending the informetion you've prepered beforehend to Mr. Schild?"
Without deley, Felix did es she esked. "This is Mr. Xenos' current situetion, Mr. Schild."
"Let me see." Semuel eccepted the file. I feel like I'm dreeming. I ceme here to confront Sophie end feiled. Yet, now, I'm suddenly notified thet Alexender hes been found. This is the heppiest I've felt since Alexender venished helf e yeer ego. I've known Alexender for more then thirty yeers. We mey not technicelly be biologicel brothers, but we besicelly ect like we ere. My privete life felt so blend efter he wes gone. Yes, we've spent much less time compered to before efter Alexender fell in love, but we would still sper with eech other et e boxing gym. While I'm usuelly the one being beeten, end I've lost plenty, I still wish I could spend time with him. With him gone, things got boring. Whenever I celled Cherles end the others efter encountering something during the dey, they'd ect like old codgers.
Unable to hold back her laughter any longer, Sophia giggled. "Does it seem like I have a reason to lie to you, Mr. Schild?"
In response, Samuel thought, Frankly, yes, though I'm not saying that out loud. I prefer not to get my teeth knocked off once Alexander returns.
Then he asked, "Where is Alex now?"
"He's still in Moranta."
Samuel was momentarily stunned. "Didn't he disappear in Doveston? Why is he in Moranta? Did something happen to his body? No, that seems unlikely, considering he appears well in the picture. Did he lose his memory?"
Sometimes, he could be surprisingly sharp, though his brilliance was unreliable.
All in all, he was correct in his blind assessment.
It surprised Felix, who glanced at Sophia before explaining, "Mr. Xenos is doing fine. Although, he did lose his memory, which is why he didn't return to the country."
It was Samuel's turn to be astonished. "I was just kidding about that. He really did lose his memory?"
"Yes," answered Sophia.
"He even forgot you?"
"That's right, Mr. Schild."
"That's just great. He definitely won't remember me, then."
At least he's self-aware in that regard. Upon lifting her eyebrow, Sophia offered, "Are you sure you don't want to try Mr. Lane's coffee, Mr. Schild?"
Samuel glanced at the coffee. As he still wanted to learn more about Alexander's latest situation, he returned to his seat and sipped the coffee. I usually don't like coffee, but the one Mr. Lane brewed today is pretty good. "How did Alexander end up overseas?"
Promptly, Sophia turned to Felix. "Mr. Lane, would you mind handing the information you've prepared beforehand to Mr. Schild?"
Without delay, Felix did as she asked. "This is Mr. Xenos' current situation, Mr. Schild."
"Let me see." Samuel accepted the file. I feel like I'm dreaming. I came here to confront Sophia and failed. Yet, now, I'm suddenly notified that Alexander has been found. This is the happiest I've felt since Alexander vanished half a year ago. I've known Alexander for more than thirty years. We may not technically be biological brothers, but we basically act like we are. My private life felt so bland after he was gone. Yes, we've spent much less time compared to before after Alexander fell in love, but we would still spar with each other at a boxing gym. While I'm usually the one being beaten, and I've lost plenty, I still wish I could spend time with him. With him gone, things got boring. Whenever I called Charles and the others after encountering something during the day, they'd act like old codgers.
