Chapter 492

I worried that Hiram might try to cause trouble for Selena and Brandon, so I decided to keep an eye out.

“Ugh!” Hiram glared at me as soon as he saw me, his disdain and dislike for me apparent. I didn’t mind, though. I wasn’t about to get into a spat with a kid.

As long as that kid didn’t cross any lines.

“We’re almost there, you should go sit with your mom and not wander around,” I told Hiram.

Hiram was pretty close to me at that moment, and he leaned in to look at Serena and Brandon. Perhaps he was full from eating earlier, but he let out a burp, and I could smell a faint scent of coke.

I was puzzled for a moment. When did he have coke?

“Hiram, come here, we’re about to land. Stay close to mommy,” Karina called out to Hiram, who obediently went over to sit down. I was still lost in my confusion.

When we finally landed, Karina and Hiram were leading the way while Faith graciously carried Serena and let Neil carry Brandon. I was the only one empty-handed. As we passed the spot where Hiram had eaten earlier, I picked up the discarded bottle and stuffed it into my bag.

After disembarking, a driver was waiting to take us to a booked hotel. We would head out to Heavenly Mountain the next morning.
