Harold?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The corner of Simon&#8217;s mouth twitched when he heard Harold speaking.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What brings you here?&#8221; Simon asked.<\/p>\n<p>Harold replied with a smile, &#8220;My dear nephew, why bothers you to ask? This is my house, so I&#8217;m supposed to be here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Right, it&#8217;s Audrey&#8217;s house. As her brother, it was quite normal that Harold was here.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey and Bryson had already changed their shoes and walked in.<\/p>\n<p>Harold took out a pair of slippers that were prepared for Simon.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You &#8230; Why are you at home now?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Harold shrugged and said, &#8220;I&#8217;m on summer vacation now, and I don&#8217;t have any school work. So, where else should I stay?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Simon was speechless.<\/p>\n<p>Harold was right.<\/p>\n<p>But this wasn&#8217;t what Simon wanted. He thought that if Audrey and Bryson went out, he could stay at Audrey&#8217;s house and wait for her to get off work. He didn&#8217;t expect that Harold was at home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nephew Simon, you come at the right time. I went to the library yesterday and joined an event. They gave me a two-meter-long puzzle. Let&#8217;s do it together!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Simon was panicked when he noticed the countless puzzle pieces scattered over the floor, as tiny as thumbnails.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If I finished the puzzle, I would lose both of my eyes. And&#8230; who would want to play such a stupid game?&#8217; Simon thought.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s worse, if he was in the same room with Harold and let Harold call him nephew, it would be a nightmare for Simon. So, the only thing Simon wanted was to escape.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, he already knew Audrey&#8217;s address, so Simon didn&#8217;t have to throw himself under the bus.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I remembered I had a date with my classmate. So, I have to go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Harold ignored Simon&#8217;s excuse and pulled him in from outside.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Since you&#8217;re here, you should dump your friend and stay with me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Simon clung hard to the door frame against Harold&#8217;s pulling.<\/p>\n<p>At this time, Audrey had already walked out of the house with Bryson.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Quentin, I&#8217;m leaving. Remember to lock the door.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Harold answered, &#8220;Alright, I know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Simon quickly shouted, &#8220;Audrey, help! Take me with you!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He did not want to stay here anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Bryson pulled Simon&#8217;s fingers off the door frame and let Harold drag Simon into the house.<\/p>\n<p>Harold took the opportunity to lock Simon behind the door.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the door was thick, Audrey and Bryson could still hear Simon&#8217;s scream from inside.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No! I don&#8217;t want it. Let me out!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey looked helplessly at Bryson.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, it sounds a bit miserable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bryson glanced at her. &#8220;You take pity on him?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey sensed the jealousy in the air, so she immediately shook her head.<\/p>\n<p>It seemed that Jake had received his compensation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Cordova Group owes you this!&#8221; Bryson said lightly.<\/p>\n<p>Jake looked at Bryson with great gratitude. &#8220;Thank you, Mr. Bryson. Thank you for giving me a new life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By the way, would you mind if asking where&#8217;s Lunar&#8217;s mother?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jake sighed. &#8220;Her mother had died in the maternity bed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey apologized, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, Mr. Jake, I didn&#8217;t mean to bring up your history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Good thing that Lunar is healthy and happy. It&#8217;s enough for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jake saw two people walking over from outside, and he was confused.<\/p>\n<p>Elvis saw Bryson, Audrey, and Jake and greeted them warmly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, isn&#8217;t this Mr. Jake? What brings you here? Is there anything I can do for you? Do you need my help?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When Elvis glanced at Audrey, his eyes flashed with a dim light.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey was flushed with success recently.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, thank you! I&#8217;m fine.&#8221; Jake looked at Elvis warily.<\/p>\n<p>At that time, Elvis was one of those people who forced Jake to sell his house at a low price for land expropriation.<\/p>\n<p>Elvis and his assistant went to the elevator together. Elvis looked angry when he was in the elevator.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That man recognizes me. Just in case, help me get rid of him and muffle his words.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, Mr. Elvis.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3612","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
