Chapter Ninety-Four: The Wise Goddess (No. 1 on the Shelf!! )
15 minutes before stay in the living room.
Sean Rickman sipped red wine, enjoying the sweetness of the wine in his mouth, while staring at the long sword crossed above the fireplace.
The brown iris was glowing with a faint streamer, and after a while, he lowered his head and no longer looked at the long sword.
Whoa, whoa...
Whoa, whoa...
As soon as the sentimental mood rose up, it was blown away by the noise in his ears, and Gentleman Sean turned his head blankly, only to see that Yunia was stuffing a piece of cake into her mouth, puffing out her cheeks and chewing violently, and her big eyes were full of curiosity, constantly looking at him.
"Do you want to eat?"
After a little hesitation, Yunia pushed half of her cake in front of Gentleman Sean, although she was a little reluctant, but she still made up her mind: "Dad said that you must learn to share." ”
"Thank you... I don't eat it. ”
"That's great!"
“......”
Looking at Yunia who was out of sight, Sean was silent, he was not very good at dealing with children, but fortunately, Yunia was very obedient, not noisy or noisy.
"Donnie..."
"Yes, sir."
"Go get some more snacks for this lovely little girl."
"Yes."
The old butler, who had received the order, stepped back and walked into the small door next to the living room, and soon returned with a plate of chocolate chip cookies.
"And soda." Sean reminded.
"I'll be right here, sir."
A glass of sparkling water with berries and fruit-flavored syrup and a plate of chocolate chip cookies freshly baked in the afternoon are great tips for coping with the little ones.
Sean also heard it from others, and thought it would definitely be useful, after all, the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies exude a sweet and silky aroma, and the perfect blend of sugar, milk and chocolate is simply the most wonderful thing in the world, and no one can resist the temptation.
But...
Yunia only eats cake and doesn't touch soda juice and chocolate chip cookies.
Even if she kept staring at them.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Sean asked.
Yunia shook her head.
"Don't like chocolate?"
Yunia still shook her head.
Sean, who really couldn't understand the thoughts of a child, leaned back, glanced at Donnie, the old butler behind him, and smiled helplessly.
"What's your name?"
"Nia!"
"How old are you this year?"
"3 years old!"
"Is Father Mavi your father?"
"Hmm!"
Damn it...
Sean didn't know why he was asking questions in the tone of a human trafficker, but he had to admit -
If you have a purpose in mind and try to be gentle, you will speak in a way that is not much different from that of a human trafficker.
Always so ill-intentioned.
Xiao Hei, who was lying next to the goddess, seemed to be napping, but in fact, he used his slitted eyes to stare vigilantly at Sean and Donnie, as long as they dared to make any bad moves, then don't blame it for being ruthless under its claws.
It believed that this was also Mavi's intention to keep it.
"Nia, where is your mother?"
Sean struggled to keep his voice poised and less like a trafficker: "Does she live in the Church of Truth?" ”
"Mom... Mom, she..."
The small mouth was deflated, tears appeared in the corners of her eyes, and Yunia, who was stained with cream on the corners of her mouth, was suddenly unhappy, and she could cry at any time: "Mom, she died of illness..."
"I'm so sorry I asked something I shouldn't have asked." Sean hurriedly comforted her, "I'm just curious." ”
"It's okay, I forgive you."
With her sleeve brushing the corners of her eyes, Yunia lowered her head and continued to eat the cake, not at all showing that she was about to cry.
Seeing this, Sean was stunned for a while, always feeling that something was wrong.
"Nia, look..."
Sean, who came to his senses, asked the old butler Donnie to bring a huge ragdoll bear, sewn from alpaca wool and filled with the finest white cotton, half a man tall, soft as a marshmallow.
"Do you like it?"
Sean looked at Yunia with a smile: "This is what my wife made in a hurry, just because I saw the teddy bear in your hand at the banquet that day." ”
Compared to this huge ragdoll bear, the bear in Yunia's hand is a little cheaper, not only does it not look as good as the other party, but it is even a little dirty, and the fabric used is also different.
Sean felt like he had a win.
There's no girl who doesn't love teddy bears, and if there is...
Then give her a gun, or a knight's sword.
Everyone has something to like, and the goddess is no exception.
"It's so cute." Yunia blinked, "Was it given to me?" ”
"Of course, as long as you answer your uncle's question, this ragdoll bear is yours."
Sean may not even realize that at this moment, he is constantly moving closer to human traffickers.
However...
Yunia shook her head, raised her hand, and the bear that Mavi bought for her said, "But I already have a bear, and I don't need another bear!" ”
"Don't you like it?"
"I don't like it."
"And what do you like?"
"I like..."
With a roll of her eyes, Unia suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the golden pocket watch pinned to Sean's waist, the case was made of pure gold, from the hands of Hobbes, the most famous clockmaker in the royal capital, there were only 150 pieces in total, and the bottom of the pocket watch was also engraved with Hobbes's unique imprint, and its artistic value was several times more expensive than gold of the same quality.
This pocket watch was also bought by Sean for thousands of gold pounds.
Seeing that Unia liked this pocket watch, Sean was really stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say for a while.
He always felt that the little girl in front of him was tricking himself, but he was only 3 years old, how much scheming could a 3-year-old girl have?
Sean wasn't sure, but he knew that if he didn't bear to cut his love, then he wouldn't be able to get useful information.
With 1,000 gold pounds, a gamble?
Honestly, it's not worth it.
But Sean still took out his pocket watch and put it in front of Yunia: "Since you like it, I'll give it to you." ”
"Thank you, uncle!"
Yunia suddenly smiled, picked up the pocket watch, and stuffed it into her arms without looking.
"Now, can you answer my question..."
Sean, who had just lost a pocket watch, said with some heartache: "Has anything strange happened to your church in the past few days?" ”
"Strange things?" Yunia looked at him puzzled.
"Yes, some strange incidents, such as your dad secretly communicating with other people at night, or receiving some instructions, etc...."
"Yes, yes!"
Sean's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Who is he talking to?" Is it something you've never seen before? ”
"Hmm... Dad, he often talks to Xiao Hei at night. ”
"Blackie?"
Sean looked at the cat napping on the side and narrowed his eyes: "Did Xiao Hei respond?" ”
"Xiao Hei is the most well-behaved, he often kills mice and goes home, and his father has a habit of cleanliness, and he has to scold him every time he sees it!"
"Die... Dead rats? ”
"That's right, not only that, Xiao Hei also often goes out to hook up with the little cat on the street, which makes Dad have a headache, so he often educates him at night!"
“......”
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Sean suddenly realized...
he
Seems to have really been fooled.
