The corners of You Ai's mouth twitched. She had not done anything to offend Mai Fei, not to mention that she knew about Bai Du. Unless she could guarantee that the children would never meet, it would trigger punishment. This kind of behavior that harmed herself and her children must be stopped.
Mai Fei looked helpless, shook his head and sighed, then said to Jeffrey, "Brother, it's not that I don't trust you, it's that I really can't doubt my partner, so don't worry, I believe her."
Jeffrey nodded, finally feeling relieved, but suddenly felt something was wrong and said, "Do you trust her but not me? Is this the end of the trust between us? You, you..."
You ungrateful villain? Or a heartless man? You Ai thought to herself, trying hard to suppress her smile, but Mai Fei still noticed and pinched her palm in a warning.
Little Thor looked at the adults, then looked at Youai in confusion and said, "Mom, what is that called?"
Before Youai could speak, Lukash insisted, "Call me Grandpa."
Little Thor looked at his mother, not knowing whether he should listen or not. Yu Ai touched his little head and said, "Just call me Grandpa."
"Grandpa." Little Thor immediately called out in a soft and sweet voice, which melted Lukash's heart.
"Hey! Here, this is a gift." Lukash took out a safety lock and put it on little Thor. Little Thor looked at the lock on his chest and fiddled with it curiously.
Lukash was holding another bracelet, the same one as the one on Jeffrey's hand.
Said to You Ai: "This is for you."
You Ai didn't know if she was in the right position to accept the bracelet, so she didn't take it.
Lukash misunderstood and asked, "Does Dawa still hate me?"
He didn't wait for You Ai to reply, and continued, "Back then, I didn't let her go out, so she ran away secretly. Later, she met your father. I went to see them from afar, and they seemed very happy. I didn't bother them and left on my own."
Yuai said, "Dawa, my mother has passed away."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lukash paused for breath, then smiled again, a very sad smile, and said, "I knew the punishment would come."
"Grandpa," Jeffrey listened to their conversation, becoming increasingly confused. He asked in confusion, "What punishment?"
Lukash said: "Our ancestors set the rules to avoid bloodline confusion. If you don't follow the rules, you will be punished."
Yuai saw that Lukash was very sad that Dawa died as a result of punishment, but when he looked at Jeffrey, Yuai was even more confused.
Jeffrey is his grandson, so Jeffrey's father and Dawa are half-siblings. Yu Ai wants to ask him, aren't you afraid?
Seeing Yuai looking at Jeffrey, Lukash knew what she was thinking and said, "I am the elder of Madrid. My legacy needs someone to inherit it, so I adopted Odom as my son."
Oh! It turned out that she had misunderstood. You Ai nodded and did not move.
Lukash no longer forced Youai to accept the bracelet and simply said, "You stay in Dawa's room. Jefli, take them there. I'm tired."
"Yes, Grandpa."
Jeffrey led them to a cave nearby, holding a monkfish in his hand. Little Thor was very curious about the glowing fish and kept circling around him. Seeing that he hung the fish in front of the cave entrance, he simply circled around the fish.
The child was very curious, so You Ai did not interfere with him too much and went into the cave first.
"My father told me about my aunt who lived here before, but I don't remember her anymore." Jeffrey scratched his head and tried to recall. "But I remember she gave me candy, very sweet candy."
You Ai smiled back. The layout of the room was casual, but it seemed more like it was deliberately preserved.
Jeffrey said, "Grandpa said there's enough room in the house, so let's keep it. Except for my mother who comes to clean it from time to time, no one else comes here."
"Thank you!" You Ai didn't know what to say, but keeping the room was indeed worthy of her thanks as a daughter.
Jeffrey felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head even more. He said, "I didn't do anything. No need to thank me."
"Okay," McPhee said, knowing his friend's character, "When Uncle Odom comes back later, tell us."
"Okay, I'll go get busy first." After saying that, he left.
McPhee stepped forward, put his arm around Youai's shoulders, looked at her and said, "I think Uncle Odom would like to meet you."
"Yeah," You Ai turned her head and smiled at him, "I want to meet him too."
Although she is not really her daughter, she wants to know about Dawa.
"Whose child is this? Why is he here? Hey! Don't run!"
Hearing the sudden sound, You Ai and Mai Fei hurried out, and little Dawa quickly hid behind You Ai.
Outside were two female mermaids, who were shocked to see someone coming out of the cave.
McPhee knew these two people and called out, "Aunt Hiatt, Aunt Karin."
"McPhee, you, why are you here?" Hiatt said.
"Aunts, this is my love, Yuai. Grandpa Lukash allowed us to stay here."
Hiat is Odom's partner. She often comes to clean this room, and she knows why Lukash wants to keep this room.
"Hello, aunts." You Ai greeted them with a smile. As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, not to mention that Mai Fei said she was his lover.
Sure enough, they also greeted, "Hello."
McPhee asked, "Aunt Hiatt, isn't Uncle Odom back yet?"
Hiatt said, "He has to stay late. There are guests in the palace today and he has to protect them. Is there anything you want from him?"
Mai Fei nodded and said, "There are some things I want to ask Uncle Odom about my lover's mother."
Hiat looked at Youai and asked hesitantly, "Who is your mother?"
Yuai said, "My mother's name is Dawa."
"Are you Dawa's daughter?!" The speaker was not Hiat, but Karin, who looked a little excited.
She realized she was a little excited, and shyly tucked her hair in front of her ears. She said, "Oh! I'm sorry, I, I'm a little too happy. Is your mother okay?"
Looking at Karin's face flushed pink with joy, You Ai suddenly felt that what he said next was very hurtful, "Mother, she passed away."
Her answer made Lalin gasp for air. He said in disbelief, "You said, she died?"
"Yes," Youai nodded.
Karin stepped back in shock, but Hiatt quickly grabbed her and said, "Karin, be strong."
This sentence helped Karin regain some of her sanity. She looked a little dazed, but she was definitely feeling much better.
"Sorry!" Karin raised her hand to support her forehead, "Let me take a moment."
You Ai and Mai Fei looked at each other. Judging from Karin's behavior, it was obvious that she and Dawa knew each other.
