33 The three of them were together
Ever since Alyssa revealed her desire to visit her favorite author, Iluvita, her mother hadn't allowed her to read that author's book again.
And as punishment, my mother also forbade herself to attend the banquet held in the manor—
At that banquet, she had a few good friends present, and she was looking forward to it.
As a result, she was grounded that day.
Although she heard afterwards that the nasty guy named Kevin Felix was also there, she was glad that she didn't go to the party.
But the restriction of freedom still makes her feel depressed.
She was especially saddened that she could no longer read Iluvita's books.
Although she had read all of the author's books no less than ten times, she suddenly couldn't read them anymore, which made her feel as if something was missing in her life.
After all, it was seen from a young age.
Perhaps sensing her low mood, her mother had someone bring her a storybook called "The Robin Lefali's Family Adventure Guide" tonight.
Alyssa wasn't familiar with the book, but she had heard the name Robin Lefali.
It seems to be a master alchemist from hundreds of years ago, and the Lefali family to which he belongs is currently loyal to his mother - it seems that there was some accident last night?
Alyssa is not interested in this kind of thing, so the reason why she opened the book is actually the name of the alchemist.
He seems to be a very powerful person.
It's a pity that although the name is not small, the story of this book is very poor, and it is completely incomparable to Illuvita's book.
Alyssa found the book boring at first, but since there was nothing else to do, she read it patiently.
Then she looked at it, and she blushed and experienced the fun.
It's just that although she is getting more and more interested, she doesn't know what's going on, and the more she looks back, the more sleepy she becomes.
In the end, I was so dazed that I fell asleep!
When she woke up again, Alyssa found herself inexplicably moving from the stuffy bedroom feather bed to a neat and dry cabin.
She also became an adult woman with red hair!
Because it was getting late, the book was sent by the housekeeper with a letter.
But the housekeeper listened to her mother very much, and stood on her mother's side, and Alyssa, who was in a cold war with her mother, did not read the letter to express her dissatisfaction with her mother.
So now, she is at a loss for what happened to her.
What made her even more frightened was that not long after she came to this room, another man appeared here!
For some reason she couldn't understand, her mother had been strict from all strangers, especially men, ever since she was a child.
Usually participating in family banquets, she also operates in the lounge where only women can enter, and is not allowed to go to public places.
It can be said that there are less than a hundred words that Alyssa has said to men in her life.
Among them, the old housekeeper in the family may account for more than half.
Because of this, her personality is actually very contradictory, both eager for and afraid of being lively.
Under normal circumstances, she is not afraid of the presence of acquaintances.
But the latter is actually her norm.
That is the norm of extreme "social fear".
When she was a child, whether male or female, whenever a stranger appeared, she was the kind of person who hid behind her mother with a red face.
When she grew up, because there was always a cold war with her mother, the relationship gradually became estranged, and she had no way to hide, so she simply didn't talk to strangers.
She never shows up when guests come to the house, and usually chooses to run to the bedroom, pretending that she doesn't exist, and hoping that the guests will never pay attention to her.
If she really can't avoid it, and needs to talk to strange or unfamiliar people, she is also the kind of heart pounding, mouth stammering, and she doesn't know what to say.
It can be said that Alyssa in this state is actually a little dumbfounded.
That's what she is right now.
Therefore, in the face of a strange man suddenly appearing in front of her, a vigilant inquiry has consumed all her courage.
If the other party's attitude is worse, she will probably freeze on the spot, not knowing how to reply.
Fortunately, the other party seems to be a very cheerful uncle, who speaks clearly when introducing himself, and the smile on his face seems to have been mixed into words, full of optimism and sunshine.
After listening to it, she unconsciously relaxed a lot.
It's just that although she feels that the other party should not be a bad person, Alyssa has not completely relaxed her vigilance.
She is a "social phobia", but she is not a fool, she inexplicably appeared in this seemingly familiar environment, and inexplicably met a man, how could she casually let down her guard?
So she claimed to be Grace, Grace Kate.
The first name is the name of the ant witch in her favorite "Ant Kingdom", and the last name is the name of a good friend of hers.
That good friend's name was Winnie Kate.
A name is a special symbol of a wizard in the wizarding world, and it has a special role at certain times, so it cannot be revealed rashly.
Alyssa thinks that her fake name still sounds good.
It's just that I don't know if it's an illusion, but the expression on the face of this uncle, who calls himself Clark, when he hears the fake name, seems to be ...... A little stunned?
Alyssa didn't have time to wonder if the name revealed something, as the other person immediately changed the subject and began to introduce her to the place beneath her feet.
This also made her suddenly understand that she was here because of that book.
She quickly settled down.
After all, this book was given to her by her mother, and although her relationship with her mother is getting worse and worse, subconsciously, Alyssa always regards her mother as the most important person.
So of course she wouldn't think that her mother sent this book to harm herself.
By the way, she also knew that there were only three viewing places for this book, which was very precious.
However, it is precisely because of this sentence that she unconsciously thinks a lot.
The more I thought about it, the more chaotic my heart became.
Mom gave the book to the uncle in front of her first, and then herself.
Although this does not mean that this uncle is more important in his mother's heart than his own daughter, it is enough to show that his mother takes a fancy to this uncle.
Moreover, the two must be very familiar with each other, so that their mother will share this kind of treasure that can drag people into a special space with him, and feel at ease to meet him.
This is very rare, after all, in this regard, her mother has been very strict with her since she was a child.
Moreover, although Mom has many male subordinates and allies, as far as Alyssa knows, Mom has never had any male friends.
The people who visited her home since she was a child were basically some aunts and their husbands and sons.
However, when did a mature man become so familiar with his mother?
That's right, Alyssa thinks that the other party must be not young.
Although in this strange space, the appearance is actually fake, but judging from the way the other party speaks and the attitude towards others, he is obviously an adult.
Probably the same age as my mother.
A mature man who is trusted by his mother, even to the point where he can meet each other.
And I, who is a daughter, has never heard of his existence before this......
What is the identity of the other party, the answer seems to be self-evident......
The girl bit her lower lip because of this, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Her family is very special, she has never seen her father since she was a child, and she doesn't know who his father is.
Ask Mom, she never says.
If it weren't for the fact that she found out that her appearance was indeed very similar to her mother, Alyssa would even wonder if she was her mother's child after all.
When she was a child, she actually longed for her father's love, but gradually, this feeling has become weaker and weaker, and it doesn't even matter.
Because she actually can't imagine an outsider who suddenly breaks into the life of only their mother and daughter.
But now, ......
Alyssa did not resist her mother's idea of finding herself a stepfather, after all, her mother was still young and couldn't just forget it for the rest of her life.
But if mom wants to find a father for herself, she should at least talk to herself in advance?
Why so suddenly?
"Or is my mother asking me to read this book, and the purpose is actually to take advantage of the particularity of this place so that I can meet the future father in front of me?"
The girl gradually pondered the taste, so her eyes became very complicated when she looked at Meren.
……
"What's wrong with you?"
Melen had just finished explaining the current basic situation to the "young woman" in front of her.
I was thinking about whether to continue telling the storybook's "adventure rules", when I noticed that the other party looked at me very strangely.
It seems to be very confused, dazed, but with a little ...... Curious?
Since the cultivation of the breathing method to the master level, Melen has found that his perception of emotions has unconsciously increased a lot.
So although there was nothing in the other party's moist eyes, he could still detect some special information.
This made him very confused.
"No ......"
Seeing Merlen's puzzled expression, Alyssa hurriedly shook her head, and then forced herself to show a slightly well-behaved and cowardly smile.
"Just thinking, what a strange place to be......"
But what I find even stranger now is you. Meren muttered to herself.
But he had actually found out, don't look at this young woman now, the actual age may be a child.
Probably eight or nine years old?
No, according to the rules of this storybook, only those who pursue love and desire in their hearts will become young women.
So she shouldn't be less than fourteen years old.
Are you the same age as yourself?
Another apprentice to Mrs. Chelsea, perhaps?
Since it's a girl, it doesn't seem to be bad, so maybe ......
Consider inviting her on an "adventure" with you?
Well......
Mellen was groaning when she saw the air in front of the fireplace not far away suddenly twist.
Then, a little girl with red hair neatly combed into pigtails behind her appeared in the sight of the two.
The little girl is about five or six years old, and she looks immature, but the expression on her little face is very serious, which is diametrically opposed to the expression of the young woman in her arms in the oil painting.
But the basic image is still exactly the same.
Well, the last member appeared.
Mellen thought to herself.
I don't know who this is?
Since she appears in the form of a child, it means that she is the purest one.
I don't know exactly what the purity method is?
Spiritual?
Or physical?
"Hello, little friend."
While pondering in his heart, Melen showed a kind smile to the other party on the surface, "There are three members in total, and now they are all here." ”
Alyssa didn't speak, but she looked at the little girl with curiosity on her face.
Compared to men, she doesn't feel too awkward when facing women, especially girls.
Therefore, when she saw that the little guy did not respond to her future stepfather's words after appearing, but looked around with a "blank" face, she explained in a whisper.
"As long as you read that book, it will appear here, and since you can get it, you should have something to do with that lady, right?"
What she said was actually to ease the atmosphere for her future father, because she felt that even in the face of a child, if she didn't get a response to her words, it should be a bit of a loss of face, right?
Although I don't want to admit it, in fact, Alyssa has decided to get along with this future stepfather, otherwise the relationship will be stiff and her mother will not be happy.
And although the meeting was short, she felt that her future stepfather did not seem to be a nasty person......
The young woman pondered her thoughts, but the girl did not speak, but glanced at her strangely, and then looked down at her body.
"What's wrong with you?"
Seeing that the little guy didn't respond to him for a long time, and the "stepfather" on the side looked thoughtful again, Alyssa could only continue to speak.
"Is there something wrong with it?"
She spoke cautiously, as if she was afraid that she would offend the other party by going out of line.
"Do you want to, huh...... Do you want my sister to take a look at it for you? I have studied medicine, so I ......"
The little girl who was checking her body was stunned when she heard the words, then raised her head and replied helplessly.
"I'm your mother."
