Until finally Emma left, Karl didn't know why she came.

However, the gift given to him by this lady who came and went in a hurry was very expensive. The moment he opened the box and saw it, Karl was attracted by the gemstone shining with faint blue light.

The blue gem lies on a velvet base, deep and charming, like an eye.Karl seemed to see a familiar shadow through it.

Carl closed the black box lid, looked up at his father, there was doubt in his eyes, he didn't know what to do.

The giver had already left, but Karl, who received this precious gift from a stranger for the first time, was embarrassed to accept it calmly.

Charles leaned on the sofa, and after receiving Carl's questioning gaze, he smiled slightly and said to Carl gently: "Since she gave you this, please put it away."

"Do I need to send some gifts in return?" Carl held the box in his palm, feeling a little distressed.

"Of course not." Eric answered Carl's question. He was also sitting on the sofa, with a coin wrapped in his hanging palm, and it was flying lightly at his fingertips.

Charles also nodded, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he said relaxedly: "But it's time for us to prepare some gifts. You know, when the new neighbors come, they have to give a good welcome."

"New neighbors?" Carl asked in surprise. He remembered that the Bray family next door moved out last month because they changed jobs. New people moved in so soon?

However, before Karl could utter these thoughts and questions, he saw Eric's slightly abnormal performance. He looked at Charles with meaning in his eyes, and suddenly understood.

"Oh my god! It's the godfather, right? You're going to move here, right?" Carl asked again and again as if to verify, his blue eyes sparkled with excitement, like sunlight shining into a clear lake, panning There were ripples.

Erik, also affected by Carl's excitement, smiled and nodded in acknowledgment of the fact.

In fact, Eric had been thinking about it a long time ago.

However, because of fraternity related matters and considering the children's ideas, this matter is only in the imagination.Sometimes, with a little anxiety, he would imagine Charles' reaction when he knew about it.

Until recently, Eric had taken care of everything and done a lot of preparations - including choosing the right location, then doing his own remodeling of the house, buying furniture and so on.

Because of his busy work here, Eric neglected to manage matters related to the Brotherhood during this period, and handed it over to Emma—he believed that the other party would do a good job.

However, Eric did not expect that his daughter would cause some trouble for Emma and let the latter come directly to his door.

Of course those were small things, and Eric believed she could figure them out on her own.Just need a little help.

The siblings had long known about their father's plan to move. After Eric and Charles talked about it this afternoon, they sent messages to both of them.Perhaps it will not be long before there will be two more guests at Xavier House.

This is also the case, whether it is Wanda who is at the base of the Brotherhood or Pietro who is on a mission with the X-Men, they all rushed to the villa here before dinner.

After a while, Wanda hugged everyone one by one. Her fiery red hair was hanging behind her, her eyes were full of smiles, and she was in high spirits.

Compared with Carl's impression, Wanda's temperament is different from before, and there are some inexplicable things, which make him unable to react when he is hugged.

But in the next second, Wanda's familiar voice sounded above Carl's head. She rubbed the boy's curly hair, squinted and smiled: "I've grown taller recently, Carl, it seems that you don't have to let me go every day like before. With milk."

Carl avoided Wanda's hand that was about to reach out to pinch his face again, and said depressingly: "How long ago was that! I am no longer like this now."

There was a time when Carl secretly worried because he was a bit shorter than his peers, but he was too embarrassed to say so, so he started to drink milk desperately every day, almost living with a milk bottle.

Of course, with the long-lasting milky smell on his body, Carl's small thoughts were naturally discovered. Although a long time has passed, Wanda and Pietro still like to tease him about this.

At the dinner table in the evening, the atmosphere was relaxed and happy, because knowing that Eric and the others would move into the empty house next to them tomorrow, Karl was very excited to be their neighbors, and the speed of eating was also accelerated a lot.

He is very much looking forward to tomorrow's arrival.

After dinner, Carl sat down with Pietro, who hadn't seen each other for almost a week because the latter was on an X-Men mission.

Carl is very happy to share with Pietro about the knowledge of the parallel world, and the other party will also chat with him about the interesting things that happened when he and his teammates went to complete the mission.

The two chatted happily.

Carl also likes to use super speed to compete with Pietro, which has been going on since the past few years.While most of the time ended with Carl failing, they always enjoyed the entertainment.

While the two were playing, on the other side, Eric glanced at Wanda, left a word, and strode towards the study on the first floor.

"Let's go to the study and talk."

Wanda bit her lower lip and looked at Charles with some anxiety, and the latter immediately comforted her: "Don't worry, Eric is just chatting with you."

Wanda nodded slightly, calmed down her emotions, and quickly followed, trailing behind Eric.

After watching the figures of the two disappear around the corner of the corridor, Charles turned around in the wheelchair and poured himself a cup of tea.

He turned his head and saw that the other two children were watching TV intently. There were many snacks on the tea table in front of them, and they were holding a glass of drink in their hands.

Charles drank the tea at the right temperature in the cup, and the warm feeling spread to his whole body, making him smile.

In the study, Eric and Wanda sat opposite each other.

"Emma came to see me today." Eric was the first to speak. He noticed Wanda's expression of wanting to say something, and raised his hand to stop her. "I have to say, as my daughter, you haven't done well enough."

Wanda bit her lip, lowered her eyes, and looked away, wondering what she was thinking.

Although what Emma said to Eric seemed serious, in fact, it was just the little girl who wanted to start a business.

The Brotherhood was actually an illegal organization at the beginning, doing some anti-human things, and the funds for these activities came from a huge "inheritance" that Eric received that year.In recent years, due to the change of philosophy, Eric has also led people to develop other businesses. At least as prices rise, the wages of his subordinates are also increasing year by year.

Emma is very talented in this area, so Eric can trust certain things to her.

He looked at Wanda with his head down, and realized that what he just said might be a bit harsh, but Eric didn't know how to talk to his grown-up daughter. In fact, there was very little such communication between them.

It was Charles' suggestion today that Eric made up his mind to sit here and communicate with Wanda alone.

Resisting the desire to ask Charles for help, Eric coughed lightly and continued, "You need help, not planning everything by yourself."

Wanda seemed a bit hesitant to speak, but she just nodded silently and said softly, "I see."

"If you need anything, Emma will help you." Eric said at last.
