When Alice previously chatted idly with Amy, she had asked about her kindergarten. After strolling around the streets with Luna, they arrived at the kindergarten entrance.
To her surprise, Sofia was also there. Alice had a vivid memory of Sofia, a woman both innocent and seductive, with an explosively attractive figure.
William attending a parent-teacher conference for Amy seemed ordinary enough, but now it appeared there might be more to it. It was highly likely that there were ulterior motives involved.
Matthew approached to greet Alice. She responded absentmindedly with a nod and a smile, saying, “Mr. Lewis, hello.” All the while, her gaze involuntarily wandered over William and Sofia.
Oliver, who had been following Matthew around like a shadow, lit up when he saw Alice.
This is what a real super-rich tycoon is like!
Given his status, meeting someone like Alice was almost impossible under normal circumstances. Seizing the rare opportunity, he eagerly approached with a smile, saying, “Miss Turner, are you here to pick up a child too?”
Alice, already in a complex mood, found Oliver’s question easily misconstrued.
Especially since she didn’t know Oliver, his sudden inquiry about whether she was there to pick up a child seemed strange. Did she look like a married woman, and moreover, a postpartum one?
Alice had forgotten that she was holding a child’s hand. She frowned slightly and asked Matthew, “Mr. Lewis, is this your friend?”
Matthew, having weathered the social world for decades and adept at reading situations, noticed Alice’s apparent irritation. He smiled slightly and said, “Not exactly, he’s another parent here.”
He made no introduction for Oliver, sensing that William didn’t seem to like Oliver much either.
Alice’s gaze towards William was somewhat special.
So…
While it wasn’t necessary to form a bond with Alice, it was crucial not to offend her.
Alice then coldly addressed Oliver, “I’m sorry, sir, but it seems we are not acquainted.”
Her temperament wasn’t particularly bad, but her attitude towards most people was rather aloof, much like how she had been cold and distant when she first met William.
Oliver, feeling awkward, still pulled out his business card and handed it to Alice, saying, “Miss Turner, my name is Oliver, and I’m the chairman of Starlight Magic Zoo.”
Out of courtesy, Alice took the card with both hands and glanced at it before nodding slightly, “I see, Mr. Torres. I’m a bit preoccupied right now, so I won’t chat with you.”
With that, she walked over to William, leading Luna and Erebus.
Oliver stood awkwardly, watching Alice approach William.
Alice seemed to wear different masks, her face lighting up with a smile as she neared William.
“Sofia, what a coincidence! You’re not teaching at this kindergarten, are you?”
Alice’s smile was radiant, but Sofia, with a woman’s intuition, could clearly sense the strong hint of jealousy in her tone.
Sofia, generally not much of a talker, felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment under Alice’s questioning.
Although she had clarified things with William, explaining to Alice was not so easy. Sofia had realized during their last meal that Alice likely had feelings for William.
Instead of responding, she opted for a soul swap, letting Seraphina handle the situation.
The girl who had just been blushing and shy suddenly seemed transformed.
Seraphina, filled with awe for William but fearless towards Alice, blinked her eyes, the autumn waves in her gaze turning charmingly coquettish. She giggled and sized up Alice, her gaze lingering on her chest, teasingly saying, “Isn’t this Alice? What a coincidence? Are you here to pick up a child from the kindergarten?”
Alice’s smile froze.
Someone else is asking if she’s here to pick up a child from the kindergarten?!
Seraphina didn’t wait for Alice to reply, but smiled meaningfully and asked, “Is your child well-fed?”
“Pfft! Cough cough cough!” Alice almost choked.
When her gaze fell upon Seraphina’s chest, she found herself momentarily at a loss for words.
This woman… she’s like a temptress!
Luna and Erebus didn’t quite understand what the two were talking about, even thinking their relationship seemed quite good.
That must be a friendly exchange between good friends, they thought.
“Let’s go,” said William, who was not some naive, clueless boy. He clearly understood the implication in Seraphina’s words.
But as the two girls were arguing over such matters, even as Alice’s mentor, he didn’t feel it was his place to comment.
He had previously promised to teach Alice a method to enlarge her breasts, only to forget about it later.
It seemed this girl still cared a lot about others’ opinions.
Alice, pondering how she could effectively strike back at Seraphina, was at a loss for words, unable to think of any point that could hit Seraphina where it hurt.
When William said it was time to leave, of course, they left.
Why stand there foolishly, waiting to be mocked again?
Alice felt like crying but followed William, dejected.
All the way, Alice led Luna and Erebus, her lips pursed in displeasure, a clear sign of her unhappiness. .𝒎
William, holding Amy’s hand, glanced back at Alice and smiled without saying a word.
As Alice’s eyes met William’s, Seraphina’s words echoed in her mind.
“Is your child well-fed?”
Ah, the frustration!
Alice was fuming, taking a deep breath, feeling like she was about to explode with anger.
And what was that smile from William just now about…
Throughout the journey, Alice just couldn’t cheer up. She had planned to go to the amusement park, but feeling gloomy, she ended up taking Luna and the others straight home instead.
Luna and Erebus had been eager to return home. They went into Alice’s bedroom and started focusing on the painting William had given her, seeking to understand the cosmic truths it contained.
Because the painting was specifically dedicated to Alice by William, they knew deep comprehension might be elusive for them. Nevertheless, Luna’s abilities were advancing rapidly, even with just superficial understanding.
Erebus, due to his racial characteristics, wasn’t progressing as quickly.
As soon as William returned home with Amy, Nelson was already waiting for him in the yard.
“Is there something you need?” William asked, reclining in a chair and looking up at Nelson.
Nelson took a deep breath and said, “Master, I want to know, can I go to that parallel dimension that has descended onto Earth?”
William chuckled, “If you want to go, then go. Why ask me?”
“Master, thank you for your guidance these past days.” Nelson said, bowing deeply to William, “Master, in these times, everyone in the Soulmancer world will probably be heading to that new land. I’ve intruded upon your time lately.”
William nodded slightly, understanding that it meant the Soulmancers from Cozy Book Haven were also all departing.
That’s great!
To enhance the power of a Soulmancer, one should go to a place that truly benefits their development. It’s better than having them loiter around him, which was quite bothersome.
