Chapter 94 Be an Adult Who Knows Humility

At first she was not used to Jack's etiquette, but when she looked at Jack's smiling face, she had a familiar feeling.

Someone who likes to smile and be polite.

This reminded her of the man who wore a smiling mask and nodded to her last night.

"Did you go out yesterday?" Waiting for Jack to let go of his hand, Chu took it back and asked.

She didn't ask about last night, but about all day yesterday.

"No." Jack smiled helplessly: "Yesterday my little daughter was sick, and I stayed with her by the bedside all the time, and she always pestered me to tell her stories."

As he said that, he spread his hands, perhaps this was a kind of happy distress for him.

"What about your wife?" Chu asked again. From just now until now, she has not seen a single woman in this manor.

"I don't have a wife." Jack replied, with some bitterness and self-irony in his tone: "When I was young, I didn't understand the style and missed a lot of people, and now, I am no longer young."

But in fact, he seems to be only in his thirties, and he is not as vicissitudes as he said.

When Jack said that he had no wife, he was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the children in the manor suspiciously.

Without a wife, how did these children come about? Can human beings reproduce themselves?

Just when Chu was about to start doubting his own knowledge system, Jack saw Chu's doubts and explained in a timely manner.

"None of them are my own children, the oldest one I adopted nine years ago."

Fortunately, Jack explained it early, otherwise, when he first returned, he might have asked Lawrence why he didn't have children.

"Although it's adopted." Jack stood beside Chu with his hands behind his back, looked at his children with a smile, and said to Chu.

"But I love every single one of them."

Few people can speak so frankly with such affection.

But the children in the yard were all smiling happily. They were enjoying their time in the manor. It could be seen that Jack really took good care of them.

And Jack's eyes were full of love.

That kind of unadulterated, pure, father's love for his children.

After that, Chu continued to ask Jack a few simple questions, and Jack answered them one by one.

The conversation between the two seemed to end like this, without much gain or suspicion.

Chu bid farewell to Jack, and Jack also bid farewell to Chu, everything was gentle and courteous.

But when he turned around and left, he did one more thing.

She let go of her palm and released a wisp of black mist into the fog in front of Jack's house.

Although she is not very good at solving crimes, she has abilities that ordinary people do not have.

Whether it's Jack's light gray eyes, or his not tall but surprisingly agile body, or his almost silent footsteps.

All made him infinitely close to the initial impression of the man in black robe last night.

Although it is not possible to directly determine that it is him at the beginning, as long as he leaves "eyes" in front of the door, he will be able to see the result sooner or later.

And the black mist is the "eyes" left by Chu.

He took out a new candy from his pocket, and walked through the fence outside the manor for the first time, planning to go to the nearby places again.

"Sister." A childish voice stopped her from the side.

Looking back at the beginning, I saw a little girl lying on the edge of the fence of the manor, sticking her head out from the gap in the railing, and smiling at her.

This girl is only six or seven years old, wearing a small light pink dress, with a child's unique brilliance in her big eyes, innocent and cute.

"Is my sister a friend of my father's?"

the girl asked.

Chu also knew a girl a long time ago, and that girl was called Yingzi.When I first met her, she was just a child.

However, I remember that when she and Yingzi met for the first time, Yingzi's eyes were ashen.

And when she left, Yingzi's eyes were also dull.

This girl is happy. Looking at the little girl in a dress in front of her, Chu thought for no reason.

And this kind of happiness, no doubt, originated from Jack.

After a while, Chu finally answered the girl's question.

"Well, it is."

But to be precise, she is not Jack's friend, not now, and in the future, she should not be.

"Then Lily likes sister." The smile on the little girl's face became even brighter, like the sunshine on her pale golden hair: "Because Lily likes daddy the most."

The child always loves the house and the house like this. If he likes Jack, he will naturally like Jack's friends.

"Yeah." Chu was not good at dealing with children, and didn't know how to reply.

But soon, she noticed the eyes of this little girl named Lily, who kept staring at the candy in her hand.

"Do you want to eat?" Chu hesitated, and finally handed the candy to the girl.

The girl's eyes widened again, and her pale blue pupils gleamed as she looked at the candy that was first handed over.

"Thank you sister!"

She said happily and took the candy.

If Lawrence is there, he will be surprised that someone can take food from Chu's hands.

However, in fact, sometimes, Chu is not so attached to food.

"That." Chu pressed his hat: "Goodbye."

She doesn't plan to stay for a long time, after all, she really doesn't know how to play with the children.

"Yeah." Lily took the candy and waved to Chu: "Goodbye."

Doesn't she eat candy? She doesn't plan to eat it. She wants to take it back for her brother to eat.

Jack adopted a new baby a few weeks ago, and she is no longer the youngest, and she is about to learn how to take care of her younger brother.

Chu lowered her head and hurried away with an umbrella, it could be seen that she was really not good at dealing with children.

As for the reason, it was probably because she didn't want to scare these little guys, and her appearance was more suitable for facing those villains.

In Jack's manor, Jack closed the gate.

He didn't care where Chu went or whether Chu suspected him, he believed that he would not leave any clues.

And if he had to say it, he didn't care about anything outside the manor at all.

Standing on the grass, Jack waved to his children and walked over.

Amidst the children's calls, his gentle smile removed the last trace of hypocrisy.

He only cares about his estate, he only cares about his children.

This was the best happiness in his sinful life.From the time his first child called his father, the fog of the Fog City could no longer cover his eyes.

In the white manor, sunshine, grass, swings, children surrounded Jack, laughing and laughing.
