Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison

The silence was almost a minute long and the whole room fell silent.

In the end, it was Adam who smiled instead.

"What? Are you shocked too? I also think that if I show up with this kind of look, basically all negotiations will fail. And even if I did show up with that look, people wouldn't believe me and they would just think I was a substitute. I couldn't help it, so I had to wear sunglasses to negotiate with them. Once I wore sunglasses, people were a bit scared of me and I looked more imposing."

"I just didn't think you were indeed different from what I thought you were."

Elsie spoke up awkwardly, while Adam asked with interest.

"What did you imagine I should look like? The kind you see in the movies? But there are all types of looks in the movies. What do you imagine I should look like?"

"I thought you would be very, very cold. People are scared to death when you look at them more than once, and people will bow their heads in fear when they look at you. I thought you would carry that aura that makes people fear and tremble."

If Elsie could only describe what Adam looked like in one sentence, it would be an updated version of the babyface.

From the way Adam looked, it was hard to tell that he was a half-breed.

He was a man, but with a babyface, which would have meant cute. If it was several times more of an upgrade than a normal babyface, it would have been like seeing a cute animal.

In other words, it was like seeing a giant panda and thinking he was so cute.

That was how she felt at first glance when she saw Adam. But, she was afraid of offending him by showing that look, so she kept her head down and silent for a long time, suppressing the excitement in her heart.

In her eyes, she saw Adam like a child seeing a giant panda.

He was so cute! How could he have such cute looks?

"Don't I give you a cold enough feeling when I'm wearing sunglasses? I've trained that expression for so long that whenever people see me, they subconsciously take a few steps back. As for me finding so many people who are the same height as me and then wearing sunglasses to look similar to me, of course it's because the aura of one person isn't really that great, and if dozens of people came over like that, it would look particularly imposing and scare the opponent first. The most important thing in negotiations is to scare your opponent first."

Elsie really couldn't help but snort with laughter.

"You're nothing like I thought you would be. You're very funny. Are you a big fan of cakes and desserts and such?"

Elsie couldn't resist asking because she was so gossipy.

"Of the food, I do love desserts the most. Eating cake relaxes the mind and puts you in a happy mood."

This meeting with Adam didn't last long and they chatted for a while afterward before Elsie and Wilson left.

Adam looked like he had something to do again, so they had to leave.

When they got back to their place, Elsie hugged Wilson and laughed as soon as the door was closed.

She laughed for so long that Wilson couldn't help but speak up.

"What are you laughing at? Why are you laughing so hard?"

Elsie asked as she grabbed Wilson's arm, still with a grin on her face.

"I thought Adam was so funny. He talks with such humor, and all his actions make you want to laugh. How can someone be so funny? You don't know how he looks with that tone of voice and his actions. If I hadn't kept myself in check, I really would have been able to stop laughing in front of him all the time. Luckily, my tolerance was stronger and I only laughed out loud when I got back here."

Wilson spoke up helplessly.

"Let me get you a glass of water. You've been laughing for so long, and you look a bit tired."

Elsie hurriedly sat down on the sofa and nodded. After Wilson brought over the warm water and she took a few sips, she turned to Wilson and asked again.

"I can't believe you weren't shocked when you first met Adam back then. What did you feel then? Tell me quickly."

"I thought he was Adam's double at that time and didn't believe he was Adam himself. Because by that time, Adam's reputation was able to shock a lot of people. It wasn't until after I'd been through a lot with him and confirmed his skills, and all those bodyguards protecting him, that I knew I'd been mistaken." "So what do you think his looks make people feel? You couldn't help but want to stroke his hair, like seeing a cute dog, or seeing a giant panda, could you?"

This time, Wilson spoke up with difficulty.

"I just think he's harmless and acts like a fool sometimes. I don't really think he's so cute." "Men and women really are different. You really don't feel the cuteness of his looks at all." Elsie said with an exclamation and then drank the glass of water next to her completely. "Are you impressed with him and find him easy to approach?"

Wilson asked Elsie, who nodded.

"Is he not easy to approach? I've never seen a big man so talkative and approachable. When you told me about his reputation earlier, I thought he was a global sensation and maybe a particularly scary-looking guy. It turns out the gap between imagination and fact is so wide, which is unexpected."

Wilson laughed helplessly.

"You should know that the more harmless a person looks, the more ruthless and tricky he is. He's so globally famous not because he downplays the fact that he plays it cool, but because he literally came out of the dead. His every move could very well involve the lives and deaths of many people. Of course, I am not asking you to be careful in his presence. Given my relationship with him, he would treat you with great respect, which is why he treats you with a particularly good attitude. If it were anyone else, no one would dare to be so reckless in front of him."

"So that's how it is. It seems that it is because of you that he treats me so well. In fact, it would look more interesting to put on a face like that and talk about life and death. But it's probably because he's so nice to me that I'm not scared. I'm really stealing the glory from you again."

In the evening, before Elsie and Wilson went to bed, Princess Anna contacted them.

"Tomorrow afternoon, I will bring your sister to pick you up. The time and place are not yet known. In case there are any surprises, I will let you know then."

Princess Anna could not be contacted again after this comment. Elsie hugged Wilson and cried excitedly.

"Although I had expected that, by this point, they should have released my sister, I was still very excited to really get the news. Nothing will go wrong tomorrow, will it?"

"Didn't Georgia get in touch with us this afternoon? They'll be contacting a lot of people to come over tomorrow. Let's be a bit more prepared. This is Svero's territory and is under the control of the King and Princess Anna. We'll be a little more careful and nothing should happen."

"That's right. I just hope everything goes well tomorrow. I'm also looking forward to seeing my sister, and I wonder if she's been suffering lately. I'm not afraid of anything else but how she'll face Alfred and Princess Anna when she gets out. They haven't called off the engagement yet and it looks like it will go ahead. I don't know how my sister will be able to bear it."

Elsie finished the sentence sadly and Wilson hugged her to comfort her.

"She's always going to have to deal with this. With you by her side, she'll be able to pull through."

Wilson reassured Elsie, but she still shook her head.

"I'm actually scared of other things. My sister has been locked up for so long, and she must have all sorts of doubts in her mind. She still has the baby with her. I'm a little worried that there's a chance my sister might regain her memory. I don't even know right now if it's a good thing or a bad thing for her to regain her memory. Because I don't want my sister to be with Alfred anymore. But if my sister doesn't regain her memory, her trust and doubts about Alfred will definitely force her to want to see him. It's so worrying."

When she finished, Wilson didn't even know how to comfort her. He really knew nothing about psychological comfort other than being able to figure out how to keep the people he cared about safe.

After they fell asleep, it was just morning on the other side due to the jet lag. Ivan was already asleep on the edge of the bed. He had been at Emilia's bedside the whole time.

Suddenly, he felt a knock on his head. He looked up to see that Emilia, who was lying in bed, was awake. Ivan spoke up excitedly.

"Emilia, are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Emilia suddenly smiled.

"Can't you see? I'm not gone. This body is still under my control. I told you she wouldn't wake up now unless you agreed to my demands. Do you want to reconsider now?"☐☐☐☐☐☐
