Chapter 717
“Mommy, we‘re fine!”
“Mommy, we saved Karl!”
Alden and George stared at Adina obediently with their brilliant eyes.
Adina felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off of her chest.
She held Alden and George‘s hands in hers and went inside the house together.
Karl changed his shoes at the entrance of the foyer. He smelled something aromatic and said with exaggeration, “Smells awesome! Is that a Cairnstanian dish? Looks tasty!”
When Alden and George were with Terry, Adina prepared a table of dishes.
The children and adults sat around the table and took their meals.
Karl praised non–stopped as he ate the food. “Adina, you‘re a great cook. Your dishes are scrumptious. It‘s no wonder your sons are so clever.”
“Stop talking , will you?” The corners of Flint‘s mouth twitched. Karl was almost turning thirty, still, he seemed so unreliable.
After he was half full, Karl stroked his chin and asked, “ Have you ever wondered why Terry wears a mask?”
Harold blinked his large eyes and said, “Most superheroes wear a mask, too. For example , Superman, Kid the Phantom Thief, Ninja Turtles…”
“Well, I was going to say that he looks ugly,” Karl said dryly. “I think his face was scarred when he killed Auguste. As such, he looks very ugly and dares not to show his true form.”
Alden recalled George‘s unusual behavior when they were at Terry‘s mansion.
He turned his head around and asked, “George , did you notice anything unusual?”
George opened his mouth and was going to say something. However, he suppressed his nonsensical thoughts and did not speak them out.
If he told them that Terry‘s voice was similar to his father‘s, would this cause unnecessary fantasy to his mother and siblings?
