Chapter 495
Nocturne woke up and rubbed his eyes, misty and watery
But quickly, his gaze started to sharpen.
His eyes were incredibly beautiful, it’s hard to imagine a kid with such clear and bright eyes.
As Jared walked in, he saw the little boy dialing a number on his phone.
He wore a digital watch on his wrist.
He casually pressed a few buttons, then dialed a number
“Mom, I’m okay. I probably slept for 18 hours, just woke up. A gentleman here helped me. Sean’s at our usual spot, tell grandpa not to worry. Two hours from now, come pick me up at Epochal Square.”
His voice was clear and steady, perfectly logical.
As Jared stepped in, the little boy just hung up.
He looked up at Jared, his voice crisp, “Sir, Is there anything to eat? I slept for quite a while, I’m hungry.”
Seems he knew his body well, he just said he’d slept for hours.
Jared thought this kid was anything but ordinary.
The way he talked, totally not like a little kid, more like an adult.
Jared said, “I came to get you for dinner.”
Nocturne was very polite, “Thank you, sir.”
Jared took him to the dining room for a meal.
He ate with good manners, looking pretty refined.
Having slept for 18 hours, he should be starving.
But he didn’t wolf down his food.
He chewed each bite slowly, never in a rush, showed he was well brought up.
Jared started to wonder about this kid’s parents.
Jared asked, “What’s your name?”
“I’m Summer. Thanks for saving me yesterday, but could you take me home now? My mom’s pretty worried about me.”
Jared nodded, “Rest assured. Once you’re done eating, I’ll take you home.”
“You can just drop me off at Epochal Square, my mom will pick me up there.”
“Sure.”
Jared felt like talking to this kid was like talking to an adult.
