"Of course, that's great!" Whitney happily clapped her hands and said, "Daddy! Are you really going to marry Mommy? You'd better not be lying! You have to make Mommy your woman!""Of course!" Carl said with determination, "Also, I've decided that your mommy will be mine in our next life. By that time, do you want to be my daughter too?""Sure!" Whitney agreed. "But, Daddy, you have to stay with me from the start of my next life. You can't just jump in halfway like this time!"I promise!"With that, Carl and Whitney high-fived three times.In high spirits, Whitney said, "Daddy, I've decided. Your wedding with Mommy must be grand! We don't need to worry about the money. After all, you have plenty!""Then, we'll hold a wedding that amazes the world!" Carl declared, "Everything has to be the best! If it's possible, we'll customize everything so it can be one of a kind!""I want to be the flower girl, wearing beautiful makeup and carrying a pretty bouquet of flowers. I want to be Mom

"Alright, alright! I'll stop! Why don't you try it first and give your verdict?" Maverick suggested.Carl cocked an eyebrow. He didn't care how bad the food was. What mattered was that he couldn't let this stain his reputation. Maverick was the best candidate to shift the blame."Or would you prefer if I help Annabel in pursuing you?" Carl's voice was cold."Carl … you can't do this ... isn't this going too far?" Maverick pouted. "You're being so shameless. Does your mom know about this?""That's none of your business." Carl's tone was far from friendly. "I only have one question for you. Did you make these pancakes?""No ..." Maverick started."What was that?" Carl growled."Yes ..." Maverick quickly changed his answer."Yes or no?" Carl asked insistently.Maverick sighed in frustration. "Why does it have to be me?""Because you're the best actor," Carl replied. "You lie as if it were the truth."Maverick felt embarrassed. If one plays with fire, one would eventually get

Annabel excitedly ran up to Maverick. "Mavey! I have two tickets to the Snowplay concert. Let's go together!""I'm not going," Maverick refused."Come with me!" Annabel whined."I said no!" Maverick impatiently pulled away from Annabel's grip. "You're grown up now! Don't you know about personal boundaries?"Annabel's gaze darkened. "If growing up means losing you, I'd rather die as a child.""Easier said than done!" Maverick's mood was already sour, and now he was getting angry. "If you want to die that badly, then go to a busy road and get hit by a car! You won't feel a single thing if a truck ran over you!"Annabel lowered her head in silence.Having lived with Maverick for many years, she could easily tell between his genuine anger and his feigned irritation. Right now, she had truly provoked him.Watching Annabel's distressed expression, Maverick clenched his fists tightly and recalled her mother's dying wish. Pain flashed across his eyes."After we return to Zeloth, go me

Carl kissed Violet like a madman. He captured her lips and bit them.He needed her to calm him down. Or else, he would truly go crazy.Even through their thin clothes, Violet could feel Carl's rising body heat. She pushed him away nervously, feeling especially uncomfortable with his wandering hands."Stop," she gasped."I want you," Carl stated firmly. "You're mine, and mine only!"Violet furrowed her brows. Carl suddenly picked her up and carried her to the bed."Let go of me!" Violet panicked.Carl shook his head and kept his eyes on her. His gaze was growing more infatuated and intense."I'll be careful. I promise," he murmured."No," Violet nervously said, "I … I'm still in pain!""You little liar." Carl laughed. "You've recovered for a long time now, haven't you""You ..." Violet shivered.Carl lightly tapped Violet's forehead. He felt lucky that she was here with him!"Vi." Carl swallowed hard. "Vi."Violet widened her eyes at Carl, observing his every move. Just hi

"Don't ask about matters that are none of your business," Carl said in annoyance. "You're supposed to be an assassin, yet you lack the bloodlust of one." "That's because I can't be a bloodthirsty killer around my daughter." Violet didn't care about Carl's criticism as she cuddled with Whitney. Since Whitney came into the picture, Violet had participated in significantly fewer missions. She only went on missions if the targets were especially tricky. Therefore, she rose in notoriety since she only killed challenging targets. She also gained more enemies as a result. Now that more people were starting to realize that she was an assassin, things didn't look good for her. Carl gave her a cold stare and ignored her. "Uncle Carl, you have to let Great Aunt Elsa out. Or else, with that temper of hers …" Lucy couldn't help but say.Carl interrupted her coldly, "What can she possibly do?""You're holding your mother captive!" Violet chipped in."Daddy, have you thought about the co
