Chapter 1506: Chapter 1506: Discipline
Upon waking up and washing, guessing it was ti to feed them these two days, Gavin Graves opened the balcony’s glass door and found… the rabbit was gone.
Gavin Graves pressed his forehead to alleviate his restless emotions.
It seed like nothing had gone smoothly for him lately.
He went out to ask the bodyguard at the door, but no one had seen his rabbit.
As large as the room was, there were only so many places to hide. With only the door and windows as exits, it couldn’t have jumped into the ocean itself. Gavin held back his irritation and let the bodyguard in to look for the rabbit.
The royal suite was lavishly decorated, with many ornants; it took the n quite so ti just to search every nook and cranny.
They were at least three days away from the shore, and Gavin felt that Octopus wouldn’t last that long.
He sat on the sofa, smoking in a bad mood, while Lester Williams tried to ease his master’s worries: “We’ve already dispatched soone to the kitchen. If there are live chickens or ducks, they’ll be brought to you imdiately.”
Gavin responded with a faint “Mm,” his sharp brows and eyes shadowed with gloom in the swirling smoke.
Over the years, he had practiced being calm and composed, able to maintain a steady deanor no matter what happened.
But now, even a rabbit could throw him into disarray.
Ah, so frustrating.
…
Mr. Ghost Hayes hadn’t slept well all night; he had a nightmare, dreaming that Cherry commanded him to tie up a man.
The rope was so thin, and after several loops, she still thought it wasn’t tight enough, so he had to keep tying and tying… until his old back almost couldn’t straighten up, suffocated, unable to move, as if experiencing sleep paralysis.
Trapped by the nightmare, he struggled for a long ti before waking up to find Cherry’s black cat purring on his chest.
“Get off !” Mr. Ghost Hayes, angry, swatted the cat away and clutched his chest, cursing, “You can’t press on the heart while sleeping! It affects blood circulation and causes nightmares!”
“ow~” the black cat lazily owed, walked to a sunny spot, lay down, and squinted in the sun.
“Cherry! Control your cat!” Mr. Ghost Hayes yelled into the room, “There’s a bed to sleep on, so why fight for the sofa?!”
A lazy female voice ca from the room: “You’re plump, soft.”
Mr. Ghost Hayes spat, got up to clear the cat fur on the sofa, “Nonsense, I’m an old man, no matter how fat I get, my chest isn’t as soft as yours!”
While he was muttering quietly, he caught a glimpse of Cherry lazily coming out of the room, heading straight for the door.
“Hey?!” Mr. Ghost Hayes chased after her, “Where are you going?”
She waved her hand weakly, holding the room card Alexander Sumrs gave her yesterday.
Mr. Ghost Hayes realized he had asked a redundant question.
He felt very conflicted; what kind of obsession was it that drove this couple to cross the ocean to find her…
…
Cherry sat opposite Purple Sumrs, feeling more conflicted than Mr. Ghost Hayes.
“Go ahead, say what you want to talk about.”
Purple Sumrs didn’t expect her to co so early, served her a cup of morning tea, and asked, “Have you had breakfast?”
“No.” Cherry looked impatient, “Whatever you have to say, hurry up. After you’re done, I’m going back to sleep.”
Purple Sumrs said, “Your schedule is quite irregular, don’t sleep too late in the future.”
“Hey! You’re going too far! You even want to control my sleep?!” Cherry glared angrily.
Purple Sumrs took a sip of tea and spoke calmly, “It’s not about controlling you, it’s a friendly suggestion. You can choose not to accept it.”
“Tch! Of course, I won’t accept it. Are you done talking? If so, I’m leaving now.” She stood up, acting as if she was about to leave.
“The guest in the next room keeps a dog, and it’s about ti for a walk. If you want to leave, go ahead.” Purple Sumrs continued to drink her tea.
Cherry: “…”
After a mont of hesitation, she sat back down and compromised, “Alright, I know what you want to say. No killing, no arson, no illegal activities, I promise you, is that enough?”
Purple Sumrs gently blew away the tea foam, “Following the law is your duty as a citizen, not a condition. I asked you here to talk about your future plans.”
