After Jenson and the others trekked through the rugged and steep mountain road, they ultimately arrived at a cave. The front area of the cave was expansive, but there was a stove placed there. They knew that it was occupied at first glance.
Finn said, "I think we have to find another location now, Jens."
Jenson’s sharp gaze swept across the structures in the area and a touch of astonishment filled his eyes. H e said, "Finn, look at what's on top of the stove. Is that a jacaranda?"
Finn said in surprise, "Perhaps Sir Ares and the others are here?"
Jenson said, "Head in and see if there’s anyone inside."
Finn joyfully entered the cave. Not long after, he delightfully came out and said, "You’re a genius, Jens. Sir Ares and the others are indeed camping out here. Look who's here!"
As soon as he said this, Zayne stepped out behind Finn.
Seeing Jenson, Zayne ran over to him with excitement. He picked him up and was trying to spin him around in his arms, only to discover that he could
not move Jenson in the slightest bit. Then, he awkwardly placed him back down and let go of him.
"Hehe." Zayne proceeded to pat Jenson's shoulder with his hand instead. He bashfully said, "You've grown up to be quite the man now, Jens. I can barely pick you up now."
"Where are the others?" Jenson asked.
Zayne explained, "Andy and Grayson are inside. The others are out looking for food."
Jenson looked at Zayne suspiciously and asked, "Why didn't you go with them?”
The vital task of taking care of Grayson and Andy should not have fallen into the hands of the unreliable Zayne Severe.
Uncle must have requested this task himself.
Zayne covered his face and yelled, "I'm your uncle! Are you not afraid of God's wrath for hitting me?!"
Then, Jenson's fist froze in mid-air.
He furiously withdrew it.
Finn started criticizing Zayne as well, saying, "The age difference between that grandma and Sir Ares is too big. What on earth were you thinking? Do you think Sir Ares would toss aside his beautiful wife at home?"
Zayne had long regretted making the jokes he should not have made. His imposing mannerisms had gotten weaker as well. He said, looking ashamed, "I didn't take it seriously at first. I merely thought that your daddy was being too attentive to the grandma. Think about it. He’s a person who usually avoids any woman, so why was he suddenly so concerned about that old woman? I thought that there must be a hidden secret between the two of them.
"So I tried to joke around to dig out the secrets between him and Granny Winter. That’s all."
Jenson scolded him, "You've been following my daddy for so long now. Do you think anyone will be able to coerce him into doing things?"
