Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 783

At the Shaw family's residence, Colton packed his belongings while Melody stood nearby, arms folded, wearing a frown. She asked, "Do you have to go?"

After finally being transferred back to Alfornada and finding stability, Colton was now being sent to Malie City.

It was said that they would undergo long-term training stationed there.

Colton lifted his head, his voice unusually gentle as he replied, "Are you gonna miss me?"

Melody paused, then sneered, "Don't try to sugarcoat it."

A hint of helplessness flickered in Colton's eyes, but he remained silent.

This version of Colton was as gentle as a cloud.

In his eyes, there was only the nation, its people, the safety of the country, the frontline battlefield, comrades-in-arms, team meetings...

His time was always dedicated to others, except for her and Ivan.

Ivan had grown up without Colton ever taking him to school, and he was absent when their child had a high fever and fell ill.

The only time he made an appearance was when Ivan was kidnapped and remained missing for a few days before finally causing him to "be aware."

It was during that time that he stayed with Ivan for a few days.

Melody could not help but feel disappointed.

Others praised him for his respect and dedication.

But as a family member, only she knew how sorrowful it felt.

Initially, this would not have been an issue as she was someone who understood the importance of duty.

However, there was a female officer on his team who worked closely with him, and he often interacted with her. Melody could not help but feel uneasy about it.

After Melody mentioned her concerns, Colton simply stated that he had nothing to do with the other woman and provided no further explanation. Another year passed in their busy lives.

Melody, like any wife would be, grew increasingly frustrated. She turned around with a displeased expression and left the room.

Colton paused in his packing, a frown on his face. What did he say wrong this time? Did she want to accompany him?

The thought of Blake taking Lilly to Malie City made him reconsider. Perhaps it was not ideal to be separated from his family for an extended period.

Realizing why Melody was upset, Colton called out to her, "Wait."

Melody stopped, expecting him to say something.

But all he said was, "You and Ivan should pack your things and come with me."

Melody was left speechless.

Colton continued, "There's no one else in the Shaw family, so we can leave today."

Melody's frustration grew, but Colton thought her silence indicated agreement. He nodded and said, "I'll take care of Ivan's school transfer procedures. Drake happens to be in the same class, so we'll go to Malie City first, where someone will handle the transfer."

According to Blake, their stay in Malie City would last one or two years, or maybe even three to five years. While it might be slightly troublesome to transfer schools, it was not a big issue.

Angrily, Melody exclaimed, "Ivan is used to being here! You can't just decide on your own and ask him if he agrees!"

Coincidentally, Ivan appeared with his schoolbag on his back and calmly said, "I agree."

Though he was not particularly clingy toward his parents.

However, Ivan did not want to see his parents arguing. With his father absent and his mother often sulking, he thought it would be better to go along with them.

After Ivan finished speaking, he went back to his room and started packing his luggage without any further hesitation.

Melody was left dumbfounded. Other people's sons were warm and affectionate, but what about hers?

In the end, Ivan's family embarked on the journey to Malie City.

While resting with his eyes closed on the plane, Colton suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "By the way, Ivan, do you remember what happened during the two days when you were kidnapped?"

Ivan responded simply, "Yeah."

He did not elaborate and simply hummed, indicating that he did not want to discuss it further.

Colton found it interesting for father-son communication and decided not to press the matter. He nodded and said, "Alright."

With that, he also uttered a simple "hmm" and refrained from asking any more questions.

Melody, on the other hand, was left perplexed.

Ivan turned his head to gaze at the white clouds outside, his eyes slightly darkened. He calmly raised his hand and observed it. On the inside of his wrist, there was a simple pattern that covered half of it, seemingly wrapped around a blood vessel.

That pattern was not there before...
