15 minutes ago, waiting in the living room.
Sean Rickman drank red wine, enjoying the aftertaste of the wine in his mouth, while staring at the crossed swords above the fireplace.
There was a faint glow on his brown irises. After a while, he lowered his head and stopped looking at the sword.
Bah, bah, bah...
Bah, bah, bah...
As soon as the sentimental mood arose, it was blown away by the noise in his ears. Mr. Sean turned his head blankly and saw Yunia stuffing a piece of cake into her mouth, chewing hard with her cheeks puffed up, her big eyes full of curiosity. Keep looking at him.
"do you want to eat?"
After a slight hesitation, Yunia pushed half of her cake in front of Mr. Sean. Although she was a little reluctant to part with it, she still made up her mind: "Dad said that you must learn to share."
"Thank you...I won't eat it."
"That would be great!"
"..."
Looking at Yunia who didn't care about anything, Sean was silent. He was not very good at dealing with children. Fortunately, Yunia was very obedient and didn't make any noise or make a fuss.
"Donnie..."
"Yes, sir."
"Go get some more snacks for this sweet little girl."
"yes."
After receiving the order, the old butler stepped back, walked into the small door next to the living room, and soon came back with a plate of chocolate chip cookies.
"And soda," Sean reminded.
"Come right away, sir."
A glass of soda with berries and fruit-flavored syrup and a plate of chocolate chip cookies baked just in the afternoon are perfect tips for dealing with little ones.
Sean also heard this from others and thought it would definitely be useful. After all, the chocolate chip cookies just baked exude the sweet aroma. The perfect fusion of sugar, milk and chocolate is simply the most wonderful thing in the world. Who can The irresistible temptation.
But...
Yunia only ate cakes and did not touch soda juice or chocolate chip cookies.
Even though she kept staring at them.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Sean asked.
Junia shook her head.
"Don't like chocolate?"
Yunia still shook her head.
Sean, who really couldn't understand the child's thoughts, leaned back, looked at Donnie, the old butler behind him, and smiled helplessly.
"May I have your name?"
"Nia!"
"How old are you this year?"
"3 years!"
"Is Father Marvey your father?"
"Um!"
Hell...
Sean didn’t know why he asked questions in the tone of a trafficker, but he had to admit——
If you have a certain purpose in mind and try your best to be gentle, then your way of speaking must be similar to that of a human trafficker.
Always so malicious.
Xiao Hei, who was lying next to the goddess, seemed to be taking a nap, but in fact, he was staring at Sean and Donnie with squinted eyes. As long as they dared to do anything inappropriate, don't blame it for its ruthless claws.
It believed that this was Mavi's intention in letting him stay.
"Nia, where is your mother?"
Sean tried to keep his voice calm and sound less like a trafficker: "Does she live in the Church of Truth?"
"Mom...Mom, she..."
Her mouth shrank, tears appeared in the corners of her eyes, and Yunia, who had cream on her lips, suddenly became unhappy and might cry at any time: "Mom, she got sick and died..."
"I'm really sorry, I asked something I shouldn't have asked." Sean quickly comforted her and said, "I was just curious for a moment."
"It's okay, I forgive you."
With her sleeves wiping the corners of her eyes, Yunia lowered her head and continued to eat the cake. She didn't look like she was about to cry.
Seeing this, Sean was stunned for a while, always feeling that something was wrong.
"Nia, look..."
After Sean came to his senses, he asked his old butler Donnie to bring him a huge stuffed bear. It was sewn with alpaca wool and stuffed with the best white cotton. It was half a person tall and as soft as a marshmallow.
"Like it?"
Sean looked at Yunia with a smile: "My wife made this specially because she saw the teddy bear in your hand at the banquet that day."
Compared with this huge stuffed bear, the little bear in Yunia's hands seems a bit cheap. Not only does it not look as good as the other one, it is even a little dirty and made of different fabrics.
Sean felt he had a winning chance.
There is no girl who doesn't like teddy bears, if...
Then give her a gun, or a knight's sword.
Everyone has something they like, and goddesses are no exception.
"So cute." Yunia blinked: "Did you give it to me?"
"Of course, as long as you answer one question from uncle, this stuffed bear will be yours."
Sean may not even realize that at this moment, he is constantly getting closer to the human traffickers.
However...
Yunia shook her head, raised her hand, and said, "But I already have a bear, and I don't need other bears!"
"Don't you like it?"
"dislike."
"If so what do you like?"
"I like..."
Turning her eyes, Yunia suddenly raised her hand and pointed at Sean's golden pocket watch on her waist. The case was made of pure gold and was made by Hobbes, the most famous watchmaker in the royal capital. There were only 150 pieces in total. The pocket watch The lower part is also engraved with Hobbes' unique mark. Its artistic value is several times more expensive than gold of the same quality, and it is rare to find.
Sean also spent thousands of gold pounds to buy this pocket watch.
Seeing that Yunia liked this pocket watch, Sean was stunned for a moment and opened his mouth. He didn't know what to say for a while.
He always felt that the little girl in front of him was tricking him, but she 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 couldn't bear the pain, he would not be able to obtain useful information.
Take a gamble with 1,000 gold pounds?
To be honest, 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 at it.
"Now, can you answer my question..."
Sean, who had just lost a pocket watch, said with some heartache: "Has anything strange happened in your church in the past few days?"
"Something strange?" Yunia looked at him puzzled.
"Yes, some strange incidents, such as your father secretly communicating with other people at night, or receiving some instructions..."
"Yes, yes!"
Sean's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Who is he talking to? Is it something you've never seen before?"
"Well...Dad, he often talks to Xiao Hei at night."
"Xiao Hei?"
Sean looked at the cat napping beside him and narrowed his eyes: "Did Xiao Hei respond?"
"Xiao Hei is the most well-behaved. He often brings dead mice home. My father is mysophobic and scolds him every time he sees him!"
"Dead...dead rat?"
"Yes, not only that, Xiao Hei often goes out to hook up with kittens on the street, which gives dad a headache, so he often educates him at night!"
"..."
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Sean suddenly realized...
he,
It seems like he was really fooled.
