Phoenix stood in the living room, facing Daphne's questioning.

He just shrugged easily, with a cynical smile on his lips.

There was a mischievous gleam in his eyes, and he said:

"I said I can teleport, do you believe me?"

There was a hint of provocation in his words, as if challenging Daphne's imagination.

"Also, isn't it normal for me to come to my fiancée's house?"

Phoenix continued, a hint of confidence in his voice, as if he was announcing a well-known fact.

Daphne stared at Phoenix with wide eyes, her eyes full of disbelief.

She knew Phoenix was a joker, but what he said was just ridiculous.

"Are you kidding a three-year-old? How can you teleport? Do you think you are a phoenix?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Daphne's tone, and she obviously didn't believe what Phoenix said.

When Phoenix heard Daphne's words, he couldn't help but complain in his heart:

"It's true!"

Of course he knew his true identity, but he had no intention of revealing the secret just yet.

He decided to continue to have fun with this little prank.

Astoria stood aside, watching the interaction between the two, a helpless smile appeared on her face.

Daphne's brows were furrowed, and she was obviously confused and worried about Phoenix's sudden appearance.

She asked seriously:

"When did you come?"

Her eyes were fixed on Phoenix, as if she was trying to find the truth in his answer.

Phoenix opened his mouth to explain, but Astoria quickly interrupted him.

"Ahahaha, sis, Phoenix just got here too."

Her voice had a hint of nervous laughter, trying to lighten the tense atmosphere with humor.

"He used some magic and flew in on a broomstick."

Astoria said quickly, a sly glint in her eyes.

She knew that if Daphne knew that Phoenix had come last night,

And having spent the night with her, Daphne would surely be very angry.

She didn't want this embarrassing situation to happen.

Phoenix looked at Astoria, a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

He knew Astoria was protecting him and their relationship.

He decided to continue with what Astoria was saying.

"Yes, Daphne, I just used a little magic and came on a broomstick."

Phoenix said, a hint of relief in his voice, trying to convince Daphne of this explanation.

After hearing Astoria's words, Daphne's doubts and tension finally eased a little.

She knew that Astoria was a sensible child and would not easily do anything to make her family worry.

She breathed a sigh of relief, then turned her head and looked at Phoenix carefully.

Her eyes fell on Phoenix as if examining him, trying to find his true intentions from his actions.

She noticed that Phoenix wasn't as affectionate towards Astoria as she had imagined.

He didn't try to hold Astoria's hand, or put his arm around Astoria's waist, or do anything else that might make her feel uneasy.

Phoenix stood there, keeping a proper distance, his attitude respectful and polite.

His eyes would occasionally look at Astoria, full of tenderness and love, but at the same time maintaining a gentleman's restraint.

Daphne watched for a moment, her worry gradually easing.

She began to realize that maybe Phoenix wasn't the frivolous person she thought he was.

He behaved appropriately and seemed genuinely interested in her sister.

So Daphne felt relieved.

Then, Daphne seemed to have thought of something and asked:

"Are you ready to leave now?"

Astoria glanced at Phoenix, then nodded and replied:

"Yes!"

There was a hint of excitement and anticipation in her tone.

Daphne said hesitantly:

"But Dad has something to do at the Ministry this morning, so he might be back a little late."

When Phoenix heard the news, his eyes lit up.

If there was one person he least wanted to deal with, it was undoubtedly his future father-in-law.

He was secretly glad because it meant he could avoid a potentially awkward meeting.

Astoria noticed the change in Phoenix's expression and said with a smile:

"It's okay, sis. We can leave a note and dad will see it when he gets home."

There was a hint of relief in her voice, and it was clear that she was also relieved to be able to avoid this meeting.

Phoenix took the opportunity to say:

"Yes, Daphne. We'll leave a message to let Dad know where we're going."

There was a hint of gratitude in his voice, knowing that Astoria was doing her best to protect him and make him feel more comfortable.

Daphne nodded, and although she was still a little worried, she decided to trust her sister and Phoenix.

"Okay, then you better be careful."

"Also, eat your breakfast first. I made this myself."

There was a hint of pride in Daphne's voice as she brought out a plate from the kitchen with the breakfast she had carefully prepared on it.

However, the appearance of the food on the plate is indeed a little difficult to judge.

Phoenix looked at the food on the plate and complained silently in his heart:

"You can vaguely make out an egg and two slices of bread."

He tried to keep a polite smile, not wanting to embarrass Daphne.

Astoria also looked at the plate of food with some fear, a hint of uncertainty in her eyes.

She subconsciously hid behind Phoenix and said:

"I... I'm not very hungry. Phoenix just said he was hungry, so let him eat!"

There was a hint of apology in her voice, but also a hint of mischief.

When Phoenix heard Astoria's words, he was secretly grateful for her "sacrifice", but he was also thinking about how to finish this breakfast elegantly.

He cleared his throat and tried to make his voice sound sincere:

"Oh, that's great, I've been looking forward to trying Daphne's cooking."

Daphne smiled with satisfaction when she heard what Phoenix said.

She handed the plate to Phoenix and said:

"Then you must enjoy it, this is something I prepared especially for you."

Phoenix took the plate and sat at the dining table. He took a deep breath.

Then pick up the cutlery and prepare to start breakfast.

He carefully cut a piece of egg, put it in his mouth, and tried his best to make his expression look like he was enjoying it.

"Mm, it tastes delicious, Daphne, you really have a talent for cooking."

Phoenix praised, even though he might not mean it in his heart.
