At first, she was not used to Jack's etiquette, but when she looked at Jack's smiling face, she had a familiar feeling.

A person who likes to smile and is polite.

It reminded her of the man in the smiling mask who nodded at her last night.

"Did you go out yesterday?" asked Jack, who had taken his hand back as he let go.

She didn't ask about last night, but about the whole day of yesterday.

"Nope. Jack smiled helplessly: "Yesterday my little daughter was sick, and I was always by the bedside, and she always pestered me to tell her stories. ”

As he spoke, he spread his hands, perhaps this was a kind of happy distress for him.

"And what about your wife?" asked Chu again, she hadn't seen a single woman in this manor from just now until now.

"I don't have a wife. Jack replied, with some bitterness and sarcasm in his tone: "When I was younger, I didn't understand the amorous feelings, I missed a lot of people, and now, I'm not young anymore. ”

But in fact, he should only look like he is in his thirties, and he is not as vicissitudes as he said.

When Jack said that he did not have a wife, he was stunned for a moment, and looked at the children in the manor in confusion.

Without wives, how did these children come about, and can humans reproduce themselves?

Just when Chu was about to start doubting his own knowledge system, Jack saw Chu's doubts and explained in a timely manner.

"None of them were my biological children, the first one I adopted nine years ago. ”

Fortunately, Jack explained early, otherwise, when he first went back, he might have asked Lawrence why he didn't have children.

"Although it was adopted. Jack stood beside Hatsu and turned his back on his hands, smiled at his children, and said to Hatsu.

"But I love each and every one of them. ”

Few people can say such straightforward words so affectionately.

But the children in the yard were smiling happily, enjoying their time at the manor, and it was clear that Jack had taken good care of them.

And Jack's eyes were full of love.

The kind that is not mixed with any impurities, pure, the father's love for the child.

After that, Chu continued to ask Jack a few simple questions, and Jack answered them one by one.

The conversation between the two seemed to end like this, without much gain and without much suspicion.

Chu said goodbye to Jack, and Jack also said goodbye to Chu, everything was gentle and polite.

But when he first turned to leave, he did one more thing.

She let go of her palm and put a wisp of black mist into the fog in front of Jack's house.

Although she is not very good at solving cases, she has the ability that ordinary people don't have.

Whether it was Jack's pale gray eyes, or his not-so-tall but surprisingly dexterous body, or his barely silent footsteps.

All of them made him infinitely close to Yu Chu's impression of the black-robed man last night.

Although it is not yet possible to directly conclude that it is him, as long as he leaves "eyes" in front of the door, he will be able to see the results sooner or later.

And the black mist is the "eye" left at the beginning.

He took out a new candy from his pocket and walked over the fence outside the manor, ready to take a look at the neighborhood.

"Sister. A childish voice stopped her.

When I first looked back, I saw a little girl lying on the edge of the fence of the manor, poking her head out of the gap in the railing, and smiling at her.

The girl was only six or seven years old, dressed in a little light pink dress, and her big eyes shone with the brilliance of a child, innocent and lovable.

"Is my sister a friend of my father?"

The girl asked.

Hatsuzai also knew a girl a long time ago, and that girl was called Sakurako. When I first met her, she was just a child.

It's just that when I first remembered the first time she and Sakurako met, Sakurako's eyes were dead.

And when she left, Sakurako's eyes were equally dull.

This girl is happy, looking at the little girl in a dress in front of her, she thought of it for no reason.

And this happiness, no doubt, comes from Jack.

Half ringing, Chu Cai answered the girl's question.

"Well, sort of. ”

But to be precise, she is not a friend of Jack, not now, and probably not in the future.

"That Lily likes her sister. The smile on the little girl's face was even brighter, like the sunshine of her pale blonde hair: "Because Lily likes Daddy the most." ”

Children always love the house and Wu like this, like Jack, and naturally like Jack's friends.

"Hmm. "Chu is not good at dealing with children, and I don't know how to reply.

Soon, though, she noticed the eyes of the little girl named Lily, who kept staring at the candy in her hand.

"Do you want to eat it?" Chu hesitated, but finally handed the candy to the girl.

The girl's eyes widened a little more, and her pale blue eyes sparkled as she looked at the candy that had just been handed over.

"Thank you, sister!"

She said happily and took the candy.

If Lawrence was here, he would have been surprised that someone was able to snatch food from the hands of the beginning.

However, in fact, sometimes, Chu is not so attached to food.

"That. Chu pressed his hat: "Goodbye." ”

She didn't plan to stay long, after all, she really wouldn't play with the child.

"Hmm. Lily took the candy and waved at Hatsu, "Goodbye." ”

Doesn't she eat sugar, she doesn't plan to eat it, she wants to take it back to her brother to eat.

Lawrence adopted a new child a few weeks ago, and she is no longer the youngest, and she is about to start learning to take care of her younger brother.

Chu lowered her head and hurried away with an umbrella, and it could be seen that she was really not good at dealing with children.

As for why, probably because she didn't want to scare these little guys, she looked more suitable for facing those evil people.

At Jack's manor, Jack closes the door.

He didn't care where Chu went, he didn't care if Chu suspected him, he believed that he wouldn't leave any clues.

And if he had to say it, he didn't care about anything outside the manor at all.

Standing on the grass, Jack waved at his children and walked over.

At the call of the children, his gentle smile unloaded the last trace of hypocrisy.

He only cares about his estate, he only cares about his children.

It was the best happiness in his sinful life. By the time his first child called his father, the fog of the City of Fog had been unable to cover his eyes.

In the white manor, the sun, the grass, the swings, the children surrounded Jack, laughing and laughing.
