Why is this child so talented?
He is even more outstanding now than when he first met him.
Even those people who have little contact with me and are not very close will always mention this child when talking to me and praise him to please myself. If the next generation of the Wenche family can let this child take the lead, it will undoubtedly stabilize people's hearts.
Elliot once thought that as long as he could keep the secret clean behind his back, no one would know the secret about the child's life experience.
Although the fact that Chris and Wayne had a romantic relationship made him feel mixed, in a sense it helped him make up his mind and not have to worry about his arrangement for his daughter's marriage not being accepted by Chris.
As long as the two get married under his own witness and give birth to cute and smart children, then who can dare to say that he is not a member of the Wench family?
By then, even if he still inevitably learns his true identity, I'm afraid he won't be able to give up his current happy life because of those long-gone past events.
But he didn't expect that the Ryder family would be so heartbroken and crazy!
When the fragile baby was just born, they baptized the newborn with dark magic, just so that the offspring would be more adaptable to dark magic in the future... He could not imagine how much pain this child had suffered because of this, How many times he had to continue to endure abuse from those closest to him while crying for his parents' protection.
But the biggest problem is that he is not sure that if one day in the future this child knows everything, will he follow the same path of his father's generation, actively pursue the power of dark magic, and forcibly create dark magic in the same inhuman way? Descendants of magicians?
[Power] is too important in this world, and he dare not bet on the one in ten thousand possibility.
Wayne felt uncomfortable under Elliot's scrutinizing gaze.
He understood that Elliot was probably thinking about how to treat himself in the future, but from his own point of view, he shouldn't know those secrets yet.
"I will protect Chris." He just said.
"I promised her—my strength is her strength."
Without looking at Elliot's uneasy expression, Wayne analyzed his thoughts. "I know that Father, you are very worried about Chrissy's future, but she does not have to face the difficulties and obstacles in the future alone."
"Beside her, there are you, relatives, me, and many friends."
Chrissy may have seemed silly at times, but Wayne never thought she was really stupid.
She was just... used to having people solve her problems for her, and indulged in the pampering of being taken care of.
"Even if her strength alone is not enough to withstand the risk, with the help of all of us, she will definitely be able to live freely."
Compared to Duke Elliot's ardent desire to become a parent, Wayne could understand Chrissy's mood better.
After finally traveling through time, everyone naturally came here to make up for their shortcomings and realize their dreams, instead of running to another world to continue to do so in this life because they haven't completed enough in the previous life.
Therefore, he does not think that Chris's usual laziness or lack of ambition are serious shortcomings.
Elliot stared at him wordlessly for a moment.
"Remember your current promise." He said solemnly. "This is a contract between us two men."
Wayne looked firm: "Of course!"
…
Coming out of the study, Wayne sighed softly.
Although Elliot still looked a little troubled just now, he seemed to have reluctantly let down his guard a little.
Having stayed in Duke Wenche's mansion for so long, he may not be as careless as he was at home in his previous life, but he has also sincerely accepted the upbringing of Eliot and Ashwell.
——Another more important reason is that regardless of their identities, those two are still his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Therefore, he will not draw a sword against him because of the hatred this body involves from the previous generation, or even several times the previous generation.
But even if I understand this truth, it still feels uncomfortable to be suspected.
"Wayne~" A small voice called from the side, "Wayne!"
Wayne turned his head and saw Chris hiding at the corner of the stairs like a thief, with her hands on the wall and only her eyes exposed.
"Come here quickly~"
She shouted in a low voice, waving to him anxiously.
After looking at the door in front of him that he had just closed, he walked towards Chris.
However, as soon as he got close to Chris, Wayne was eagerly held by her hand and fled from the corridor on the study floor.
Dragging Wayne's arm and walking swiftly, Chris returned to her bedroom and closed the door tightly with a bang.
"What did you two say just now?" Chris asked.
Before Wayne could answer, her next question immediately came out.
"Is there something you are hiding from me? Why do I always feel like something is wrong with you?" Glancing at Wayne with great suspicion, Chrissy felt a little anxious.
"When I ask you, you always don't tell me. You hide everything from me. How can I communicate with you!"
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious..."
Wayne pulled her and sat down on a sofa nearby. "You blocked everything I wanted to tell you before I even started speaking."
"oh."
Her face was expressionless. "Then try to be as concise as possible."
"Ahem..." Wayne organized his words and said earnestly: "Father is very worried about you."
"What do I have to worry about?"
Chrissy took off her indoor shoes unhappily, folded her legs and crossed them on the sofa.
"You must know." Wayne couldn't help but look at her and move to another place.
After a moment of silence, Chris glanced at her eyes and said, "Is it about...my magic ability?"
Wayne pursed his lips, but nodded.
"Ha." Chrissy said a modal word as if she felt it was ironic.
"Yeah, people always think that I can't do anything because I don't know magic."
Wayne immediately sided with her: "I never thought of it that way!"
Of course, strength is the first attribute to meet the requirements of survival, but the more developed social civilization is, the fewer things can be accomplished by strength alone.
In other words, although it can only be summarized by the word "power", this does not mean that it has only one form of expression.
"Why do I have to use my own disadvantages to compete with other people's advantages..." She bit her lip and said, "It's like I have to crawl on the ground even though I can walk."
