“Don’t spout nonsense.” Cade glared at Miya and Livya. Then, he ordered, “Take them to the living room to rest. I’m going to look for Father.”
After saying that, he left. Meanwhile, Miya and Livya continued scrutinizing Cloud with wariness brimming in their eyes.
“Miya, Livya, I’m really a member of the Seizon family.” Their scrutiny made Cloud a tad discomfited.
“Hold it there. Don’t address us so intimately first. Our brother is an honest man, so he’s often fooled. But it’s impossible to dupe us both. We’ll soon know whether you’re a member of the Seizon family. Come with us!”
While saying that, Miya whirled around and strode ahead. Livya quickly followed behind her. Cloud could only flash Jared and Feenix an awkward smile before doing the same.
As the two girls led the way ahead, their movements were light and airy. It was as though they were floating on the ground.
When they walked past a stretch of land with an artificial hill and plants, they exchanged at glance. Suddenly, they made a sharp turn at a corner of the artificial hill. By the time Jared and the others caught up, they were long since gone.
“Huh? Where are they?” Cloud wondered, taken aback.
“Looks like those two cousins of yours aren’t to be trifled with, Cloud. You’ve got to be more careful,” Feenix commented smirkingly.
Embarrassment was written all over Cloud’s face. He never expected such a thing to happen. right after he had returned.
“The living room should be right ahead. Let’s go there by ourselves,” he suggested in mortification.
The three of them headed toward the house before their eyes. But after walking for some time, they realized that they would end up beside the artificial hill regardless of the path they took, unable to reach the house.
Cloud wanted to try flying over, only to discover a restriction in the yard, stopping him from doing so.
“What’s going on here?” he exclaimed with bafflement etched across his features.
“This yard of the Seizon residence is so vast that we actually got lost and can’t get out,” Feenix lamented, gazing at the plants around her.
