Chapter 496 Sorry about Scaring You

The air seemed to freeze in an instant, and everyone felt embarrassed.

Keith’s smile froze on his face. After a long time, he laughed and stretched out his

hand towards Larry. “Ah. It’s you. I’m pleased to see you!’

“It’s really a pleasure…”

Larry smiled. His gaze was cold. ’You know what? There have been many times when

I wanted to chop you into pieces to feed crocodiles!”

“Hahaha. Larry, you are so humorous!”

Keith pointed at Larry. “I thought that Braden shut you up back then. I thought you had

been hiding at Sutor Wharf and didn’t dare to come out!”

“Mr. Guerra, come on. You can try me if you want to know whether he has shut me

up.”

“No. If I try, I will die.”

They were fighting against each other with words. They were smiling on the surface,

but what they said was not friendly.

Shirley and Nancy held hands and retreated to the side, afraid of being injured by

mistake.

“Alright. That’s enough. Get out of the way. Don’t block the exit.”

Shirley held Bennett and Alisha’s hands and said, “Guys, this is your uncle. I

mentioned him. Do you remember? Greet your uncle.”

“Uncle!”

The children called Larry in their cute voices.

“Hi, Ben, Ally. I miss you so much. I finally saw you. Come here. Let me hug you!”

Larry originally wanted to continue to argue with Keith, but when he saw the lovely

children, his anger vanished. He squatted down and picked them up.

Bennett asked Larry curiously, “Uncle, why are you wearing a mask like Quintin? Do

you know Quintin?”

Bennett reached out to take off Larry’s mask.

“Hey. Ben, don’t touch my mask!”

Larry stopped him with a serious expression.

“Why?”

“Because I was disfigured by a bad guy. There is a big scar on my face. I’m afraid that

it will scare you.”

Larry said that honestly.

Alisha said sweetly, “It doesn’t matter, Uncle. You are our uncle. We won’t be afraid.

It’s alright. A scar is a mark that makes you special. No one else has it!”

“Um…”

Alisha’s words made Larry feel touched. His heart, which was as cold as a stone,

suddenly got warm.

It had been a long time since he had felt this way.

“Ben, Ally, don’t be rude. He doesn’t want to take it off, so leave him alone. Don’t

pester him. Besides… It’s cool to wear a mask, isn’t it?”

Shirley lectured the children with a straight face.

She knew that Larry had been troubled by the scar. It was understandable that he

didn’t want people to see it. Shirley never tried to change his mind.

“It’s fine. If the children want to see it, I can take the mask off.”

Larry smiled in relief, “There is no secret between family members.”

The next second, he took off his mask.

The winding scar was like a crooked earthworm. It went from the left side of the man’s

eye to the right side of his mouth. The big scar divided his face into two halves!

Everyone was shocked, but to protect Larry’s self-esteem, they didn’t say anything.

The passers-by didn’t hide their astonishment. They screamed after being frightened

and kept a distance from him.

“Ah! A monster!”

“My goodness! Did someone cut off half of his face? This is too scary!”

Larry felt hurt. He quickly put on the mask again and smiled bitterly, ‘Sorry. I scared

you.”

“No. You didn’t scare us…”
