Blake replied, “He’s Professor Gedding. Don’t go looking for him, though. We had snuck out of his place. If he discovers our whereabouts, he’ll come and capture us.” Eugene frowned. “What do you mean? Where did you sneak out from?”
After some thought, Blake asked, “Are you talking about this time or the previous time?” Eugene was shocked. “Have you guys snuck out from his place many times before?”
“Yes. It’s the second time, and we’re pretty sure he won’t find us. We went to many places before coming here. I came from Scanlivia, Carter was from Halentis, and Terry was from Promise Island. You mustn’t expose us.”
Eugene dipped his head. “Don’t worry. Since you guys are my sons, I’ll protect you.” Blake refuted disdainfully, “Don’t call us your sons yet. We have yet to decide if we want to acknowledge you as our father.”
Eugene was torn between tears and laughter. “Since we’re father and sons, you can never deny our relationship. It’s against the law if your grandfather wants to confine you to any place. Now that I’m around, you don’t have to be afraid of him anymore.”
Blake scowled. “Don’t say that. He’s been treating us well.” Eugene was perplexed. “But you just said he’d capture you if he found you.”
Blake said scornfully, “He’s just worried we might fall into danger. Alright, I have to get going now. Otherwise, I’ll be late for school.”
Despite being puzzled, Eugene glanced at the time and realized Blake had to set off. He suggested, “I’ll treat you to dinner. Tell the two of them to come as well.”
Blake shook his head. “I’m sorry. We already have some arrangements in the evening.” Eugene was startled for a moment before putting on a smile. “Alright, then. Give me your contact number. We’ll meet another time.”
