Over there, Aaron Hearne maintained the posture of his tail piercing through the chest to lift the dark figure, placing it in front of Magnolia Hearne, before retracting his tail.
As he retracted it, he deliberately controlled the force to avoid dispersing the other’s soul, ensuring there was still a breath left.
Magnolia glanced at the dark figure before her, then at Aaron’s nonchalant actions, and raised her hand to firmly lock the dark figure with the Spirit Light Chain she hadn’t had the chance to use.
She also bound the other two in the same way.
After completing this, she turned around, pondering who to hand it over for handling.
Nyxelle Sinclaire noticed and quickly stepped forward. Today, the matter had originally targeted her.
Due to her reasons, she almost implicated Donovan Jennings, for which she felt guilty and naturally took on the task of handling the aftermath.
It wasn’t until this moment that Magnolia looked at her closely, with some curiosity in her eyes,
"I think I’ve seen you before, are you in Division One?"
Nyxelle nodded,
"I’m Nyxelle Sinclaire. This Big Ghost was my previous assignment, I couldn’t catch it, and unexpectedly involved Donovan Jennings, truly sorry."
Saying this, she glanced at Donovan, hesitated for a second, and still said,
"The words I said in the car before were abrupt, I take them back."
Donovan obviously knew what she was referring to, and calmly responded, "It’s okay."
His attitude was the usual gentleness he showed towards outsiders.
Magnolia looked at Donovan, then Nyxelle, with some thoughtfulness but held back further comment.
Since the car encountered issues, Nyxelle contacted another vehicle to pick them up.
Scarlett Jennings and the others naturally didn’t need to travel by car, they could leave the way they came.
But since they had come all this way, gathered together in such completeness, leaving abruptly seemed a bit wasteful.
So Donovan glanced at the evening sunset and said,
"It’s just about dinner time, I’ve booked a restaurant. Shall we have dinner together?"
As he spoke, Nyxelle, who was managing the aftermath with Felix Clark and the driver, couldn’t help but glance at him.
Not that she still wanted to have dinner together, mainly because...
That line sounded like it was hers?
The others didn’t notice Nyxelle’s situation, Emily Hearne heard Donovan’s words and immediately replied without thinking,
"I haven’t eaten human food for many years..."
As soon as she finished speaking, three gazes immediately focused on her.
Besides Scarlett and Magnolia, there was Aaron as well.
Despite being stared at by three people, Emily’s expression remained unchanged, as she calmly finished the second half of her sentence,
"... now that you mention it, I kind of want to try it."
Scarlett and Magnolia were instantly pleased.
Although Magnolia, Emily, and Aaron had reconciled before, sitting down for a proper meal together had never happened.
Mainly because none of them were the type for such gatherings.
But it didn’t matter if they weren’t into it; Donovan was skilled at social interactions.
"Before we go for dinner, perhaps we should buy a couple of outfits to change into first."
Donovan’s suggestion was mainly directed at Emily.
Due to his dealings with Mystic Regulation Office business, Aaron’s attire was somewhat modernized, but Emily had her unique style.
Emily heard this and raised an eyebrow,
What kind of meal required her to change outfits?
She was about to say she would wear what she already had when Donovan calmly added,
"With Scarlett and Samuel Chalmers’ wedding coming up, perhaps buy a few outfits for the occasion, since you are family."
As he spoke, his peach blossom eyes habitually held a hint of a smile.
Emily immediately changed her tune,
"Then let’s take a look."
Thus, before dinner, the five of them headed to the city’s mall.
Actually, given the Jennings Family and Hearne Clan’s status and wealth, they could easily have clothes delivered home to pick from.
But sometimes, women shop for clothes, it’s about the experience of strolling through stores.
In this regard, Magnolia and Scarlett were on the same page.
