Tsk, tsk. She is truly Cooper’s daughter. It’s an inherited darkness.

Her gloominess was extreme, but at the same time, it was adorable.

Stanley finished recounting the incident to Michael and lamented, “Uncle Michael, does Aunt have a grudge against me now?”

Michael snorted and said, “Seeing as how she didn’t use 502 Super Glue to seal your mouth, she still sees you as her beloved nephew. Relax.”

That put Stanley in even more despair. “What should I do, Uncle?”

“You have to be warier when you come to eat at my place in the future. She might put poison in the dishes and alcohol.”

Stanley was bewildered.

After Michael satisfied himself by scaring Stanley out of his wits, he hung up the phone. Looking at the time, he saw that she was going to be home soon and quickly left the office to greet the victor of that silent battle. Back at home, he prepared a festive dinner to welcome her with.

When he got to Linus’ front door, he kept knocking but no one answered. He lingered outside with his broken robot for a while, looking very miserable. Just as he was about to leave, however, the door opened.

Nathan was elated and started to push Nicholas into Linus’ house.

But the person who greeted him was not Linus; it was the stranger he met the other day.

It was the man he had seen in photos at the entrance of the military compound and on the photo wall in Mark’s home.
