Chapter 563 The Sweetness of Returning Home!

Arthur did not answer Melinda's question directly.

Instead, he took two quick steps.

As he walked, he said -

"If it was hypocrisy, I would pretend to be generous and say, I'll let you go this time, but please remember my face, and I won't show mercy next time we meet.

Then, I turned around and left.

Then, I turned back suddenly.

Hehehe, little friend, we meet again!"

Arthur said as he turned around suddenly and laughed at Melinda.

Melinda rolled her eyes immediately.

"Childish!"

The lady commented.

"Isn't this hypocrisy?

Do you have to make me say one more sentence: I can live with guilt for a lifetime, but I can't live with fear for a lifetime?

Isn't it a bit redundant?

It's better to say: I hid much better than you back then, so I survived."

Arthur spread his hands, looking helpless.

"Not good either.

If it were me, I would change my identity, adopt this child, care for him as a father, teach him all kinds of knowledge, and give him a childhood sweetheart and kind neighbors. Then, when he grows up, I will be killed by an extremely powerful "enemy", my childhood sweetheart will be abducted, and the kind neighbors will be killed in order to inform him.

He will avenge me.

And this is what I would like to see most."

Melinda said seriously.

"Too long, too many variables.

Besides, people are complicated.

You will never know how terrible the power of habit is.

Just like you don't know how terrible the power of emotion is.

Of course, you missed a point."

Arthur shook his head and disagreed.

"Which point?"

Melinda became curious.

"I don't allow enemies stronger than me to live."

Arthur paused and whispered in Melinda's ear.

Arthur's sudden approach made Melinda's hair stand on end.

The body's instinctive rejection was about to make the lady feel sick.

But at this moment, the lady was attracted by Arthur's words. She turned her head and looked at Arthur's face close at hand.

Especially the smirk with the corners of his mouth curled up.

For the first time, she found that she and Arthur had such a resonance.

He thought the same as she did.

He and she...

Ugh!

The sigh in her mind did not hinder the body's instinctive reaction.

Melinda immediately turned her head and vomited.

"Are you okay?"

Arthur asked with hypocritical concern, suppressing the smile on his lips.

Of course he did it on purpose.

Melinda also knew that Arthur did it on purpose.

So, the lady glared at Arthur.

And at this time——

"Are you okay?"

A crisp voice sounded.

A girl wearing a cloth skirt and a whitened linen as a headscarf came over. The girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a thin face, but clean eyes, clean hands, and a pleasant voice when she spoke.

In her hand was a basket.

Based on the wax stains on the edge of the basket, it was obvious that this was a little girl delivering candles.

Of course not in the old town.

People in the old town couldn't afford candles.

Most of these candles would be sent to grocery stores in the Shire District or to the homes of people who had ordered them in advance.

If they were top-quality beeswax candles, they would be sent to special stores, and the owners of these stores would contact buyers of extraordinary status.

Based on the residue in the basket of the little girl in front of her, it should be the mainstream candles in the Shire District: animal fat candles.

Like No. 2 Kirk Street, which uses tallow candles with pine nut oil added.

It smells good and is brighter.

Melinda had discovered this little girl before.

But she didn't expect that the other party would come to care about her.

She was obviously not doing well.

"It's okay, my wife is just pregnant.

Thank you for your concern, if you don't mind...

This is for you."

Arthur smiled and waved his hand, and at the same time, he took out a candy wrapped in waterproof paper.

This is a byproduct of Arthur's daily refining of [Mint Secret Medicine]: mint candy.

It has not been adjusted by [spirituality].

It is just sweet and cool.

The little girl was obviously frightened by Arthur's enthusiasm.

Candy is not cheap.

Especially in the old city, you can't eat one all year round.

Moreover, the little girl can be sure that this candy is very expensive.

Because, even if it is wrapped in waterproof paper, the little girl still smells the sweetness mixed with mint.

So, the little girl waved her hands again and again.

"It's okay, I just asked casually.

If it's okay, I'll leave first."

After that, the little girl turned and left.

No!

To be precise, it would be more appropriate to turn around and run.

Looking at the running back, Arthur rubbed the tip of his nose, looking embarrassed.

This caused Melinda to laugh mercilessly.

"That little girl was frightened by you.

Do you know?

You looked just like those traffickers who were beheaded."

Melinda said as she took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.

Arthur was surprised.

"Only traffickers were beheaded?

I thought it was the stake."

"The stake wastes firewood.

Do you think anyone can be burned at the stake? "

Malinda said angrily.

"Right.

So, is it possible to find a group of human traffickers and directly use the accomplices as firewood, while the principal culprit is burned? "

Arthur suggested.

Malinda subconsciously wanted to refute.

But then the woman decided it would work.

Then, when he was about to discuss with Arthur how to recycle better, he realized that Arthur was looking in the direction where the little girl left.

"What do you think her family will eat for dinner?"

Arthur asked softly.

Malinda immediately understood that the little girl was the one chosen by Arthur.

Malinda had no objection to this.

"It shouldn't be good."

Malinda said.

The other party's clothes are destined to not have a sumptuous dinner, even when the 'Winter Festival' is about to take place.

But what's the point?

Once in a while, Malinda wouldn't mind.

because--

That's part of the game.

The two looked at each other, smiled, and followed.

…

Alma's face was red as she took two panicked steps.

As a girl who grew up in the old city, Alma learned to recognize people very early. The gentleman with a gentle smile was obviously not a bad person, and he really wanted to thank her.

However, she couldn't accept that candy.

She didn't think a subconscious inquiry was worth that kind of candy.

It would be too much to accept it.

However, if you don't accept it, you will appear to be more than modest.

So, Alma ran away.

However, Alma still recalled the young gentleman's smile in her mind.

Really kind.

And the young gentleman's wife.

Really beautiful.

They must be a kind-hearted couple, a match made in heaven!

Alma thought to herself and quickened her pace.

Because today is the day when her brother Alvin comes back.

Moreover, when she left last time, her brother promised her that he would bring her candy when he came back during the Winter Festival——

‘It may not be as exquisite as the candy in that gentleman’s hand, but it will definitely be very sweet.

Well, for sure! ’
