Ivan Horne gave Auntie Jin a stern look. She flinched, intimidated by his gaze, and instinctively moved aside.
"Speak. What brings you here?" Ivan Horne said, assuming a precocious manner. As for Deon Myers's explanation, he rely snorted coldly. No villain would label himself as such. Whether one is good or bad isn't for oneself to decide, but for others to judge.
Deon Myers looked at Ivan Horne and forced a gentle smile. "As expected of the Horne Family's eldest son's child, so cool and composed. Not bad!" he said with a laugh. To have such poise at only four years old—his future is boundless! But what delighted Deon Myers the most was his own young master. That expression, that chilliness, that arrogance—every facet of his aura filled Deon with imnse joy. The young master doesn't even need training to exude such an aura; he's clearly a born leader!
"Cut the crap!" Jimmy Horne said coolly, his small face stern. This uncle must be one of that pervert uncle's n, definitely sent by him. What do they want? To trick into going with them again? Then, when Mommy cos looking for , that pervert uncle will take advantage of her again? I was foolish to misjudge soone the first ti. I won't be fooled a second ti.
"Young Master, the Master has instructed the chefs to prepare many delicious dishes. The Master would like to invite you and your cousin Ivan to honor us with your presence for dinner," Deon Myers said respectfully to Jimmy Horne. "I am here under the Master's orders to escort you two young masters."
"Oh, so Uncle wants us to have dinner?" Jimmy Horne said, smiling, his eyes darting around as he occasionally exchanged glances with Ivan Horne.
"Young masters, let's go back," one of the nannies said anxiously, worried the two would actually follow Deon Myers and his n.
The two ignored the nanny. Ivan Horne leaned back against his seat, looked coolly at Deon Myers, and asked, "May I ask, do you have dragon at?"
Deon Myers shook his head.
Jimmy Horne then asked, "Then, may I ask if there is phoenix at?"
Deon Myers shook his head again. He'd only heard of chicken, pork, fish, and duck at, never phoenix at. What kind of at was that? Was it delicious? He had studied Syrenan culture, but of course, he didn't have the sa profound understanding as the Master; he truly didn't know what phoenix at was.
"No dragon at and no phoenix at? Then what are you inviting us to eat? Don't think we're just kids. We've tasted almost every delicacy in the world, except for dragon and phoenix at. If Uncle wants to invite us to dinner, he must first prepare dragon and phoenix at," Jimmy Horne said earnestly.
Deon Myers was stunned.
"Wait until your, uh, 'Master' has prepared dragon and phoenix at before you co to invite us to dinner," Ivan Horne chid in.
Deon Myers squatted in front of Jimmy Horne, looking as if seeking guidance, and asked, "Young Master, could you tell your subordinate what dragon at and phoenix at are?"
Jimmy Horne tilted his small face up, nose in the air, and replied, "I don't know either."
Deon Myers's face twitched. He then looked at Ivan Horne, but Ivan was boredly playing with the steering wheel of a toy car, clearly having no intention of engaging with him.
Having no choice, Deon Myers stood up, glanced at the two children, then walked aside and took out his phone to call Noah Reyes, relaying the children's request.
Upon receiving Deon Myers's call, Noah Reyes couldn't help but chuckle. Those two little rascals! Barely knee-high, yet they're already experts at causing headaches. Dragon at? Phoenix at?
Suddenly, an idea struck him. He instructed Deon Myers, "Tell the Young Master we have both kinds of at. Bring them back imdiately. Then, send soone to inform the Horne Family that I will personally return them to the Horne Family tonight. They don't need to worry about harming them."
Deon Myers complied. He conveyed Noah Reyes's ssage to the two nannies and then told the two young masters that both dragon and phoenix at were available, urging them into the car. Before they could respond, he and another subordinate each picked up a child and carried the two boys into the car.
The two boys didn't struggle and allowed themselves to be carried into the car. The two nannies, however, were so scared they scread for help.
"Auntie Jin, stop yelling! They won't hurt or Billy. Just pass the ssage to my daddy and mommy," Ivan instructed one of the nannies, rolling down the car window.
Several sedans sped away, leaving the two nannies pale-faced. The two young masters didn't struggle at all. Did that an they were willing to go with those n? Would they really bring the young masters back?
Not daring to dwell on it, the two nannies hurriedly pushed the empty stroller back towards the Horne Family.
By the ti they returned to the Horne Family, Noah Reyes had already called Glades Horne.
Upon learning that Noah Reyes had taken the two children, Glades Horne said nothing further and hung up the phone. He had personally witnessed Noah Reyes's affection for Jimmy. He trusted that Noah Reyes would never harm his son or Ivan. But, when his sister Adele returned and found out, would she overthink things and beco anxious and worried?
「Evening fell, and night descended.」
「The Blue Moon Pub.」
Adele hadn't frequented pubs in a long ti. Today, feeling overwhelmingly oppressed, she didn't head straight ho after work. Instead, she went to the Blue Moon Pub, hoping a few drinks would help alleviate her suppressed emotions.
Noah Reyes's visit that morning had left her furious all morning. His explanation, however, had also made her heart ache. Then, in the afternoon, she accidentally learned about the incident with Sister Li, further tangling her emotions towards Noah Reyes. Saying he loves her? Is *that* love? Sabotaging her career? Liar! Liar!
Sitting in a corner of the pub, the more Adele thought about Noah Reyes, the fouler her mood beca.
"Hey beautiful, why are you drinking all alone? Co on, let us keep you company," two sleazy-looking n said with a smirk, sidling up to Adele Horne, who was drinking by herself in a corner. Seeing how pretty she was, their eyes lit up.
Adele ignored them and continued to drink by herself.
Halton Hillraise, watching through the surveillance feed, spotted Adele and the two sleazy n. Recognizing Adele, he imdiately ordered his staff to remove the two n to prevent them from harming her, which would undoubtedly lead to a heap of trouble.
Adele wasn't sure how much she'd had to drink, but she felt a little intoxicated. She paid her bill and stumbled out of the pub. She managed to get into her car but was in no condition to drive.
Overco by drunkenness, she slumped over the steering wheel. The car felt stuffy, so she rolled the window down halfway and then fell asleep right there in her seat.
