Thinking of this, Ada clenched her left hand on the table into a fist:

"This scumbag..."

She was talking about Alex, of course.

Eric saw that Ada's face was not right, so he stood up and patted Ada's shoulder.

At the same time, Sheen reacted and stroked Ada's back.

"It's all right. It's all over." (Eric)

"I'm sorry to have upset you." (Sheen)

"it's okay no problem."

Ada was trying very hard to control her emotions, because Eric was sitting opposite her.

"I just think Alex's private life is not decent. No matter which woman it is, it would be a disaster if she were to get involved with him."

Ada wiped the tears from her eyes. She knew her mother had made a lot of efforts to protect her.

Nancy (Mother Ida) could have had a better future!

Xien thought about it for a moment:

What Ada said makes sense...

If it weren't for the fact that the lady also wanted to cling to Haines' power, who would want to have so many children for a man who is ugly but good at playing?

Ada finally managed to control her emotions, took the handkerchief handed to her by Sheen and wiped her tears.

She made up her mind:

"For my mother's sake, I must make this scumbag suffer!"

Eric suddenly thought: Ada is Alex's illegitimate daughter.

But judging from his attitude when talking to Sheen, Alex probably didn't know that he had an illegitimate daughter, let alone that this girl was the real star of the empire.

Eric found this outrageous:

"How did such overwhelming wealth come to him?"

Then he turned his head to the blond Sheen, and suddenly thought of Atol (Duke Haines)'s behavior of "pampering his adopted son and treating his biological son coldly"...

Eric shook his head and did not speak out his next thoughts in front of the two of them:

“Children are the work of their parents.

The problems exposed by the child must be closely related to his parents. "

Eric thought about his own background: although he was the illegitimate son of the previous duke (who had only been in office for a few years), he was not taken seriously in the early days.

But compared to Sheen and Ada, he was lucky——

He met a "father" who valued him and a "mother" who was willing to accept him.

"Ugh..."

Eric felt sorry for what happened to both of them.

He concluded in his mind:

"Except for Sean and Ada, the entire Haynes family is weird!"

call...

Eric sat down helplessly, feeling that he needed to do something to ease the atmosphere.

He is not good at coaxing girls.

But he felt he couldn't just sit there.

So, he wrapped his hand with a handkerchief, picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth, but of course he didn't just eat it:

“This cake tastes pretty good, soft and delicious. The buttercream on top is just the right sweetness.

"Eating something sweet can make you feel better. You can have some too."

Sincerity is always a killer move, especially Eric's sky blue eyes which are full of brightness and clarity.

It was hard for Sheen and Ada not to focus on Eric's eyes, and they felt that Eric was at least a sincere person.

They quickly put these trivial matters behind them and continued to enjoy the delicious afternoon tea with smiles on their faces.

"Um..."

The melodious piano music and the crisp sound of wind chimes blowing in the breeze make the scene pleasant.

At night, in the boys' double dormitory.

Eric held the lazy table in his hand and placed it on the bay window.

Then he took out a piece of letter paper with teleportation magic from the bookshelf, and continued to use the pen to dip into ink, and wrote on the letter paper what happened today.

The greeting begins:

"I kind of understand what Sheen did."

He wrote about the high priest's indifference when he went to the temple today, Lilibei's disdain for Sheen, and what Sheen told him during afternoon tea about the chaos in Haines and Ada's life experience.

When Eric stopped writing, he realized he had used two full pages of writing paper.

“Wow…”

Eric held a piece of letter paper in each hand and felt a little surprised.

He put his hand holding the pen to his mouth and pondered for a while, then decided to write James' name on the back of the paper recording "The Story of the Temple".

Write Scott’s name on the back of “Stories Happened at Afternoon Tea”.

He added on the letter: "Please, Father (Scott), please consider the matter regarding the visitors to the fraternity...."

"As long as Impes can find time to send someone to the social gathering despite their busy schedule, Haines will be embarrassed."

...

In terms of the college curriculum, the Ministry of Magic has 8 am classes on four of the five days, and one evening class. The Department of Pharmacy has only one day at 8 am, but has evening classes on four days.

So Sean goes out early and comes back early, while Eric goes out late and comes back late.

Today is Wednesday. Sean and Eric don't have evening classes, so they stay in the duplex dormitory and do whatever they want.

On the upper floor of the duplex dormitory, Eric was writing an experimental report in the small laboratory on the upper floor.

On the lower floor of the duplex, Sheen was doing homework for his magic course.

This was a rare moment of relaxation for Sheen after he entered the book, but his intuition told him,

There will probably be trouble tonight.

I don’t know why I feel this way.

Sheen thought as he began to write.

next second...

"Crack——!"

Sheen was stunned: This script really doesn't give him any time to rest!

Snapped.

Eric's eyes went dark, not because he suddenly went blind, but because:

"power cut?"

Eric put on his shoes, groped his way to the stairs, bent down and looked at Sheen downstairs:

"Sheen?"

Sheen sat upright at the table with his eyes wide open, looking at the dark surroundings.

He looked confused.

Only the peppermint oil burning on the table was still glowing:

The facilities at Pereo College are all first-rate. If the power supply is cut off...

boom!

Eric's first reaction was to cover his ears quickly. Since Sean was still holding a pen in his hand, he could only open his mouth first (covering the ears and opening the mouth are both to balance the air pressure difference inside and outside the ears to prevent ear injuries).

It suddenly became bright outside the window, and Sheen turned to look at the French window:

The dazzling red light illuminated the outside, and people inside the room felt like the red light illuminated the entire room even through the thick curtains.

Eric subconsciously glanced at the decibel meter on his desk:

150 decibels.

That's a bit powerful...

Xien stood up slightly, walked towards the French window, and gently opened the curtains:

rustle (curtain sound)...

Eric came down with a thump and watched Sheen draw the curtains open, but leave a layer of gauze.

Eric didn't know what Sean meant. He walked down a few steps, straightened up, looked at the curtains Sean had opened, and made a childish remark:

"Have you never experienced thunder?"

Sean knew he didn't have time to explain anything to Eric, so he could only use this perfunctory answer:

"Yeah (of course it's fake)."
