Maximilian?
He was in Baracas?
Klaus' mind was racing.
He remembered that Wisdom had said that Maximilian had disappeared with Denzel. He had indeed gone abroad!
But why was he here?
Maximilian had met Zion before. Even if he wore a mask now, he could not guarantee that Maximilian would not recognize him. Therefore, he had to find a way to get Maximilian out of Baracas so that they would not meet.
Klaus thought to himself.
Seeing that he was not driving, Esmeralda couldn't help but look ahead. However, she didn't see anything and asked in a low voice, "Brother, aren't you leaving?"
Only then did Klaus realize what was going on. He glanced at her before starting the car and leaving.
Klaus didn't speak much along the way. At first, Esmeralda was still talking non- stop. Later on, she felt that Klaus really didn't like to talk, so she could only shut her mouth. However, her eyes were filled with curiosity and gazed at him.
"If you look at me again, believe it or not, I will dig out your eyeballs."
Klaus was a little irritated by his gaze.
Except for Anne, the other women's gaze made him annoyed.
Esmeralda could not help but shudder.
Brother was so fierce!
She turned her head in a hurry and felt embarrassed, but she couldn't help sneaking a glance at him.
"Brother, can I ask you what happened to your face? Why did you wear a mask?"
"You don't know?"
Klaus cast a mocking glance at her.
Esmeralda suddenly realized that it wasn't a wise choice to follow him home. No matter how she looked at it, he seemed to want to kill her to vent his anger.
Esmeralda was frightened.
"Brother, I have no feud with you, so why are you so fierce to me. I just wanted to see your face, you could have just said no."
Klaus cast a glance at her and didn't say anything else.
The car quickly returned to his villa. Whale hurried to greet him when he saw him coming back, but he was stunned when he saw Esmeralda.
"Why did you bring a woman back?"
Klaus' cold gaze almost caused Whale to freeze to death.
Only then did he realize that he had said something wrong.
"No, I mean..."
"Esmeralda Laurent, Amor's youngest daughter."
After saying that, he walked inside. He didn't care at all how unfamiliar she was with this place and whether she would be scared or not.
"Brother!''
Esmeralda quickly got out of the car and followed him.
Whale touched his nose and found that he seemed to have been glared at by the little girl just now.
Huh?
Amor's youngest daughter?
She looked quite young.
Whale thought so and followed them into the house.
Evangeline sat on the sofa and watched TV. She knocked on the walnut with a small hammer in her hand and ate it bit by bit, looking a little bored.
As soon as Klaus entered the room, he saw her leaning on the sofa with bare feet, looking as if she had nothing to live for. He couldn't help but frown.
"Why don't you wear shoes?"
Klaus walked over and took the initiative to pick up his shoes. He knelt on one knee and put them on Evangeline's feet.
Esmeralda followed closely behind. When she saw this scene, she was stunned.
Was there something wrong with her eyes?
She could not believe her brother doing this.
And he was kneeling on one knee?
