Child of Destiny

The others were obviously understood her intentions which were why they started to stand up and walked away to do their respective plans that they had for today.

All of them aside from one.

Alice didnʼt say anything and started to pick up the plates one by one.

Seeing that scene, the others couldnʼt help but wear a mischievous look on their faces, anticipating a pretty good show.

”Hey! Do you even know how to take care of dishes?” asked Cloe aggressively after seeing Aliceʼs actions.

Hearing that, Alice turned to her before replying with a calm tone. ”I can at least help you collect them. You can wash them later.”

”Huh!?” Cloe suddenly narrowed her eyes before saying. ”No. There is no need for that. A princess like you should be relaxing on the sofa over there. We can take care of this ourselves.”

”It is fine. I can at least handle this much,” answered Alice back.

Then their gazes met in the air as a pair of invisible sparks clashed in there.

”Hoh~!”

The others simultaneously made the same sound as they watched the show from the sideline. Then they turned their heads to the guy who was the center of this storm.

And this seemingly dense person didnʼt disappoint at disappointing them.

”If the two of you are just going to bicker with each other, then do it somewhere else. Itʼs early in the morning yet you guys are starting to fight,” said Shin as he collected the dishes in a very skilled manner.

”Boring~!” commented Arthur while wearing a disappointed look on his face.

”At least choose a side to defend,” said Lorraine quietly as she also didnʼt like how the scene was developing.

Then the others started to disperse and went to do their own thing.

Shin was really skilled at killing the mood.

Due to the insistence of the two, Shin told them to watch the dishes together as he started cleaning the kitchen even though it already looked like the cleanliest kitchen that anyone could see.

The kitchen was quiet for quite some time as the sounds of flowing water and clanging sounds of utensils and colliding plates could be heard.

A few moments later, Alice was finally done with the plates that she was cleaning and quickly headed over to Shin.

Cloe obviously saw that and immediately quicken her pace at drying the plates. She couldnʼt leave them and stop Alice since she knew how strict Shin was about cleaning the dishes, so she could only yell at Alice. ”Hey! Where do you think you are going?”

Due to her loud voice, Shin couldnʼt help but turn his head in her direction and saw Alice walk towards him. He slightly knitted his eyebrows when he saw that and asked. ”Do you need something?”

Naturally, the others in the living room heard Cloeʼs loud call. And right after hearing the urgency in her voice, the eyes of Arthur and Leonard seemed to be turned bright as they quickly stood up and headed over to the kitchen.

They acted as if they were taking some cold water from the fridge while sneakily paying attention to what was happening.

It was at that moment they heard Alice replying at Shin. ”Can we talk for a moment?”

ʼHoh~! Now this is getting interesting,ʼ commented Arthur inside his head as this was the development that he wanted to see.

Shin, on the other hand, just continued to knit his eyebrows while staring at Alice silently. From the tone of her voice, he could sense that there was something into it. Though, he obviously didnʼt know what exactly was it.

”Sure!” he responded while pointing to the other three who were with them. ”You can just ignore those three and tell me. They pretty much know everything about me anyway, so it shouldnʼt be an issue.”

”But it is a confidential issue,” said Alice with a desperate tone mixed with some urgency.

Hearing that, Shin just shrugged his shoulders to indicate that his response was the same.

ʼYep! That is my Shin!ʼ commented Cloe inside her mind while nodding her head in satisfaction.

But that thought only lasted for a moment since she saw that the expression suddenly turned weird after hearing Aliceʼs next words.

”But it concerns the person that we discuss in the hotel before.”

Shin suddenly paused for a moment when heard those words before looking at Alice with trembling eyes.

A menacing feeling couldnʼt help but surface in Cloeʼs heart when she saw the current expression that Shin had. It was her first time seeing him act that shocked.
