Shen Wangshu acted as if she hadn't seen Ke Li's melancholy face, and turned to give her sister a bright smile.
"Look, he's always liked me." The beautiful, innocent blonde girl's face shone with unparalleled radiance, her expression filled with joy and a touch of smugness that instantly softened Effie's heart. She looked tenderly at her younger sister, reached out and touched her almost glowing face, and softly asked, "So happy?"
When General Carls confessed his feelings, the joy on his sister's face made Effie feel a pang of sadness.
She felt a mixture of relief, jealousy, and an indescribable sense of loss, while also harboring a degree of wariness towards Karls, coldly observing the upright, dark-haired soldier.
“I will verify it!” she said coldly.
If she finds out that Carls was lying to her, he's finished!
"Xuanluo wouldn't lie to me," Shen Wangshu said softly, twisting her slender white fingers.
Human hearts are treacherous, especially men's hearts, Effie's dark golden eyes narrowed slightly.
She still preferred Kerry, who was still a student, to Karls, who had been in the military for decades and whose heart was black. After all, the fact that this guy could thrive in the military meant that his hands were probably not clean.
Effie herself was a high-ranking official in the military, so of course she knew what kind of people were in the military.
Even though her sister really liked Kars, she still hesitated.
Carls is cunning and domineering. When a man like this loves a woman, he is wonderful in every way, but if he stops loving her, he may turn on her without hesitation.
This is far inferior to Kerry, who was still in academia and had a soft heart.
Even if Kerry later becomes a cunning and ruthless person like his brother, everyone will still have a soft spot in their heart for their purest past.
Alice met him when she was at her most at ease, without the need for struggle; of course, it would be different. Effie, lost in her own thoughts, gently stroked Shen Wangshu's blond hair and said softly, "Sister won't interfere with you, but... these are all just Carl's side of the story. Wait until sister has verified everything and proven that what he said is true, then you can like him, okay?"
"He wouldn't lie to me."
Effie patted her innocent-looking younger sister, smiled, and said nothing.
That bastard Karl is a real liar.
“Until then, I expect you to exercise restraint,” she said coldly to Karls. “Don’t you know how old you are, daring to covet my Alice!” Her stern face was very authoritative. Shen Wangshu blinked and saw Karls’s hard-lined face twitch slightly, as if he had been hit where it hurt. She couldn’t help but ask curiously, “How old is he?”
He looked to be in his thirties, but judging from Effie's indignant expression, he was probably older. The blonde girl, in the prime of her youth, immediately gazed at her lover with her bright, watery eyes.
“Speak,” Effie commanded Kars.
Not only women, but men's ages are also a secret. The black-haired general's lips trembled slightly, and he mumbled something.
Shen Wangshu shook his ears frantically, but heard nothing.
Kerry twitched his lips uncomfortably, and looked at his older brother with an even stranger expression.
"How much?" Shen Wangshu asked curiously, looking up.
General Karls seemed reluctant to speak, but under Effie's intense gaze, he lowered his head and whispered, "Ninety years old."
"How old?!"
"Ninety." The black-haired man had already fallen silent. Kerry touched the energy sword at his waist and spoke for his older brother.
.
The boy's face also showed great depression.
Shen Wangshu silently recalled his age.
Fifteen years old, the most innocent and beautiful time of a young girl's life.
Although the Federation's technology is highly advanced in this century and human lifespan has exceeded three hundred years, ninety years old is considered the prime of life for people in the Federation, Shen Wangshu still looked at her lover with new respect.
This wasn't just a matter of an older man dating a younger woman; it was a question of what she should call him. She thought for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Can I call you Grandpa?" Seeing the dark-haired man's face darken, silently holding his breath but not daring to retaliate, she gave a sly smile and threw herself into Aifei's arms.
"I'm still a cub!" she said proudly, tilting her little head back.
"Yes, yes, yes." Effie's eyes narrowed with laughter as she held the little cub in her arms tightly.
She glanced at the black-haired man who had the audacity to poison even cubs, and thought he deserved to be struck by lightning.
"At ninety years old, he still dares to try and marry my Alice," she said smugly.
"How old is my sister?" Shen Wangshu suddenly asked.
General Effie stopped abruptly, her smile stiffening. She looked down at her innocent-looking sister, feeling a sharp pain in her heart. After a long silence, she decided that her sister was probably just asking casually. Finally, she sighed and said, "Eighty-five."
Alice was the youngest child in the Fields family. Her parents hadn't expected any more children to be born, and all her brothers were older than her, including Effie. She decided to drop the subject of age and, holding Shen Wangshu, looked up at Carl with a rather superior air, saying, "You can go back now."
"Let Xuanluo stay with me a little longer," Shen Wangshu pouted.
When Effie received a quick kiss on the cheek, her eyes glazed over, and she couldn't bring herself to refuse.
The black-haired man opposite her darkened his gaze, walked over and sat down in front of Shen Wangshu, quietly looking at her and tilting his head slightly.
