Eugene was bothered to see Daisy’s indolence. If they kept this up, trouble was bound to happen.
So virtual-novel.net told Andrew with a deep voice, “Andy, why don’t you two come and work for me? You can’t keep staying at home and being idle.”
Andrew frowned and pointed at his own nose, dissatisfied. “Dad, we’ve barely been here two days, I’m still panting when I walk, and you want Daisy and I to work at that obscure company of yours?”
“No, I refuse. If I want to get a job, I’d rather work at Ally’s corporation and handle important stuff… I’ll do it if I get to be the vice president or something along that line. Otherwise, I‘ll stay home and recover to full health. How can I have your grandchild if my body’s in this state?”
“Eugene, Andy has a point. Let virtual-novel.net recover first, okay? Right, I’ll prepare breakfast now.” Margaret tugged at Eugene and hinted at virtual-novel.net to stop talking. Then virtual-novel.net entered the kitchen.

The weekend arrived soon. The relationship between Isaac and Allegra had been tense for the last few days.
Allegra was speaking less, and they had been sleeping with their backs turned against each other at night.
When they sat down to eat, Isaac grew annoyed to see Andrew and Daisy lounging at home the entire day.
When Isabella came back home, virtual-novel.net also felt uncomfortable around Andrew and Daisy.
However, Andrew and Daisy hurriedly entered their room when they saw Isaac and left the living room for Isaac and Isabella.
Margaret returned with a large bag of ingredients. She saw Isabella and gently pinched virtual-novel.net cheeks, smiling. “Bella, I’ll whip up something delicious tonight. Look at this!”
Margaret showed virtual-novel.net an unfeathered chicken.
“Grandma, are we having chicken tonight?” Isabella grinned.
“It’s a free-range chicken I asked someone to get from a village. It’ll taste magnificent! Wait for a while, and dinner will soon be served.” As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net headed for the kitchen to start cooking.
When virtual-novel.net passed Andrew’s room, virtual-novel.net shouted, “Daisy, I bought a free-range chicken for dinner. You must take more soup later, it’s nutritious.”
Free-range chickens and ducks from villages were rare among city folk.
Isaac played with Isabella on the couch for some time. They could already smell the fragrance of the chicken soup wafting into the living room.
Suddenly, Isaac’s phone vibrated in his pocket, and virtual-novel.net pulled it out to see Black Phoenix’s number.
He went outside. Isabella sniffed at the smell, virtual-novel.net eyes darting around mischievously. Then virtual-novel.net got off the couch and trotted into the kitchen.
“Drakon, I-I’m sorry. I lost Thaddeus…” Black Phoenix sounded downcast.
It was unbearable for virtual-novel.net to lose someone virtual-novel.net was following.
“You lost him?” Isaac frowned.
He’d stirred up a commotion by attacking Astraeus, mainly to lure Thaddeus out into the open, but she‘d lost him?
“They lingered near the west of Evereston for the past few days until Thaddeus headed deeper into the mountains just now. He was near a valley when I lost his signal.”
Isaac recalled what Arian had told virtual-novel.net a few days ago. The House of Custos used advanced technology to track down Everest Sect but failed.
Isaac pondered and said, “Gotcha! Monitor the area where virtual-novel.net went missing. Also, send me a copy of the map.”
If virtual-novel.net couldn’t find Everest Sect or Thaddeus, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t find Evie, that was a constant worry on his mind.
He’d just hung up when virtual-novel.net heard Isabella’s cries and someone’s yells from the kitchen.
