This domineering attitude—how was it any different from the elders of his family?

“Then I’ll go too.” Maya didn’t hesitate for a second. “The two of us will be together, right?”

Edric had originally meant to split them up, and he looked at her and said blandly, “Mm.

“I’ll let the two of you stay together.”

That was enough.

Maya didn’t press the matter any further, well aware that getting Edric to give an inch even once was already his limit.

Behind her, Toby had been listening quietly the whole time, his hand having unconsciously taken hold of the cuff of Maya’s sleeve.

The instant Edric finished speaking, the boy almost instinctively yanked her backward and planted himself in front of Maya, then spoke up fast, reading the room. “Thanks, Edric. See you again.”

With that, not even waiting for Edric to respond, he dragged Maya off toward the door of the living room.

Seeing this, George tossed the building blocks in his hands aside without a thought, and they clattered all over the floor, but he didn’t spare them so much as a glance, slipping in a flash into the two little kids‘ room.

It wasn’t only Raymond who’d caught on that there was some special history between Edric and Maya.

Anyone who wasn’t an idiot could pick up on a few clues.

George had already thought Maya was strange before, since why would she have a photo taken with Edric?

But he didn’t want to dig to the bottom of it.

You had to play dumb at the right times and learn to overlook the anomalies.

The moment the door shut and Edric’s cold face was out of sight, Maya finally seemed to set down some heavy burden and flopped straight onto the bed.

“Talking to Edric is so exhausting.”

She mumbled it, rolling over to bury her face in the pillow.

Toby sat on the edge of the bed, thought quietly for a while, then slowly spoke. “Are you Edric, like, in some kind of fight?”

He’d found the conversation between the two of them just now too strange.

and

They clearly wanted to be close to each other, yet for some reason there was a faint trace of unfamiliarity mixed in.

“It’s not a fight at all.” Maya sat up and blurted out, somewhat childishly, “A fight is something between friends. Right now we’re enemies.”

Toby didn’t want to go up against Edric too much, since in his memory going up against Edric basically always ended badly.

But since Maya had put it that way, he didn’t hesitate. “Then Edric is my enemy too.”

Having just pushed the door open, George caught this bit of innocent, childish dialogue between his brother and sister.

It caught him right in the heart with how cute it was.

His eyes lit up with a smile, and he stepped forward to ruffle both their heads. “Then he’s my enemy too. Now he’s got three enemies!

“How about that, huh?” George’s tone lifted, looking for approval.

Maya couldn’t help covering her face with the pillow, her voice coming muffled through the fabric. “You’re all so adorable.”

The world was strange and bizarre, but her brothers were sweet and lovable, willing to be weird and quirky right along with her.

No matter what nonsense she spouted, they’d back her up unconditionally.

So happy.

“Huh, why’d all the kids go into their room?” Wendy watched the three of them dash out of sight.

She turned her head to look at Raymond, her expression blank. “I haven’t even made dinner yet.”

Remembering that Maya had just said she was hungry, Wendy smacked her forehead, let out an

“oh no,” and rushed off to the kitchen in a frantic hurry.

Before she’d even finished tying her apron, she called out, “Raymond, come help!”

Raymond hurried to answer, “Give me one second, honey. Let me chat with our son first.

“Edric, I’m not too clear on what history there is between you and Maya.” Raymond finished speaking and turned his head, wearing the long–suffering look of a man who’d worried himself sick over his children. “I don’t care what riddles you two are speaking in, but you’re the one arranging things for the two kids once they’re on the island, right?”

“Mm.” Edric nodded.

Raymond mulled it over for a moment. “I remember you took part in the training the year you were eight too.

“Or rather, the rule about dumping the family’s eight–year–old kids on a deserted island started with you.”

Edric was the first child of the Clarks.

Back then Wendy had been so overprotective of the kids that Philbert couldn’t get hold of one even when he wanted to.

Edric had grown up by his parents‘ side, raised in the warm world that Wendy and Raymond had built.
