"May all the lovers in the world become brothers and sisters, may all the lovers in the world become brothers and sisters, may all the lovers in the world become brothers and sisters..."
Seth chopped away on the plate with a knife without stopping.
Chesney Shaw, who had gone to play around, returned to find Seth Leeds behaving like this. She could not help lowering her voice and leaning close to Lucas Shaw's ear to whisper, "Lucas, a single man is truly terrifying.”
Lucas also had a worried expression on his face.
Seth held the knife and glared at Chesney at once. The corners of his lips cracked into a deep, gloomy smile. "Little girl, do you think I can't hear what you're saying? Do you have a death wish?”
Seth was well aware that his expression was truly terrifying.
Chesney rolled her eyes and pulled Lucas to the side right away. “Lucas, let's not talk to this mad man."
Lucas could not help nodding before he followed Chesney and walked away with her hand in hand.
Seth was utterly depressed as he gazed after the departing silhouettes of these two little scoundrels.
He had already stooped so low that he had to rely on scaring children to get a sense of peace!
The worst part was that he had not even managed to scare the children.
The two children went playing around once again while Seth continued to fight with the food on his plate.
Susan Shelby took a glance at him and found him slightly amusing. "Is it really that hard for you to get a girlfriend?"
Seth heaved a sigh. "It's not hard to get a girlfriend. The hard part is getting one with good looks and brains who is also capable of pleasing both me and my family."
Susan rolled her eyes. "You should slowly..."
"Master!" Meanwhile, a sweet, charming voice was heard. A young woman then came running over. "Master, I'm late. I'm lucky you still haven't left!"
The woman ran over and gave Susan a bear hug.
Susan was stunned for a moment before she said, "Lara?"
"It's me, master." Lara Quinton loosened her grip on Susan and looked at her with an excited expression.
"Hey, don't call me master," said Susan helplessly.
"Master, you taught me so much that I certainly need to address you as my master," said Lara stubbornly. Then, she took the seat next to Susan instantly and began chattering away. "Master, allow me to tell you...”
Lara was about to speak when Seth expressed his displeasure. "Hey, hey, hey, beautiful girl. Didn't you notice that I was talking to Susie first? It's not very nice of you to interrupt our conversation rashly, is it?"
Lara turned around and sized up Seth for a moment before she said disdainfully, "I know you. You are shallow, superficial Seth Leeds, right? You do appear rather pretentious.”
Seth said, "What do you mean? Shallow? Superficial?”
“My mother said that I shouldn't speak to strange old men.” Lara took a glance at him in an arrogant, coquettish manner and then turned her back to Seth.
Seth was left speechless.
Strange old man?
Was he really that old?
However, the woman before him appeared to be about 16 or 17 years old judging by her appearance. He reckoned that he really was a strange old man to her...
A distinct sense of the passing time surged in Seth’s heart.
Lara was excited beyond comparison upon meeting Susan. She held on to Susan's hand and did not let go at all.
Susan was very fond of the little girl, who was studious and talented, so she was very willing to talk to her.
They chatted joyously while Seth continued to operate on the meat on the plate miserably on the side.
Lara only stopped talking unwillingly and parted ways with her after the wedding ended and the groom and bride left the hotel.
"Master, you're back in Skyking City. I suppose you're not going to leave anymore from now on, right?" asked Lara.
"I should be staying for a while for the time being," said Susan with a smile.
Lara’s eyes lit up. "So, does that mean that I can come and visit you frequently from now on?”
Susan nodded with a smile.
Lara cheered. She held onto Susan's hands and made an appointment to meet her again. Only then did she loosen her grip on Susan's hand, feeling satisfied and content.
