Adam wasn’t unaware of his father’s stubbornness; if there was one person in this family with the most chauvinistic tendencies, it had to be his own father.
However, a son cannot manage a father.
But even though he can’t manage him, he can’t truly ignore him either, because he’s still his father. Adam couldn’t bear to see him subjected to such "punishment."
Ismeria is still young. She personally witnessed her father "fake being pregnant," and now seeing her father turn into a turtle, he was worried it would affect her young mind.
At this moment, Ismeria, who was keenly observing "Scarlett," was not frightened at all and even thought her dad was really cool.
Other people’s dads aren’t as experienced as hers.
He can give birth, and he can turn into a turtle.
Of course, Sister Scarlett is even cooler.
Perhaps because she knew this sister wouldn’t harm her dad, Ismeria wasn’t afraid at all.
Chase didn’t care what Adam and Ismeria thought, but he agreed with that statement entirely for the sake of Second Uncle!
After all, he had quite a bit of experience with such matters.
He kind of figured out what they meant by saying Scarlett had changed into someone else.
The current Scarlett is even more ruthless than before.
If the previous Scarlett would only turn him into a vacuum cleaner in his dreams, the current Scarlett would directly turn a person into a vacuum cleaner.
Chase was worried that if he said too much, Second Uncle might directly turn from a turtle into a vacuum cleaner.
That would be a true nightmare.
He was doing all of this for Second Uncle!
Earlier, Donovan had already heard from Samuel Chalmers about Althea’s temperament. He wasn’t surprised that she’d do such things or say such words.
But while Althea could do as she pleased, Donovan couldn’t just watch her acting recklessly under Scarlett’s identity and creating issues within the family.
So he spoke up,
"Even if it’s a punishment, you could set a timeframe — three days, seven days, and then when it’s time, you can have Second Uncle do other things."
"Other things?"
Althea raised her eyebrow, and the Jennings Family members instinctively looked at Donovan.
They saw Donovan smile slightly and say in a soft voice,
"Second Uncle is skilled in eating and playing; he’s well-aware of the foods and entertainments across Sea City."
Even if he’s not aware, the young folks in his company know very well.
Samuel Chalmers mentioned that Althea liked fresh and interesting things.
Donovan naturally understood how to please her.
Sure enough, upon hearing his words, Althea showed a noticeable interest and looked again at Michael Jennings’ actual body that had been replaced by the little turtle, with the noticeably protruding belly.
There was indeed some persuasiveness in this reputation of being good at eating.
Looking at the Donovan in front of her—it could be due to the shared lineage with Scarlett’s reincarnation, or perhaps the faint connection from six thousand years ago—Althea finally stopped making things difficult for Second Uncle and agreed,
"Alright, let’s go with what you said. Three days later, let him run errands for me."
Even though she conveyed a casual yet somewhat arrogant demeanor, none of the Jennings Family expressed dissatisfaction, not even Grandmother, who stopped contemplating persuasion.
After all, if Donovan only managed to secure three days, she didn’t think she had more influence over Scarlett than her eldest grandson.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Althea stood up to leave, casually placing the little turtle she had in Ismeria’s small hands.
Ismeria already knew this turtle was her father and wasn’t worried, instead she held the turtle and comforted him,
"Dad, Sister said you’ll change back in three days. Don’t worry, Violet will take care of you during these three days."
Michael Jennings: ...
Touched, wanted to cry.
But, unable to cry.
As Althea passed by Donovan, she paused again, looking at him with some interest, asking deliberately,
"Aren’t you afraid that if your Second Uncle takes me around to eat, drink, and play, I might like it here so much I wouldn’t want to leave?"
Luca felt something was off, but knowing Donovan wouldn’t speak without reason, he chimed in as well,
