Chapter 184

"……"

Does he still have hidden troubles?

Recalling that arrogant, annoying, extremely self-centered freckled prince, whose face was practically written with the words "I'm a jerk," Leon couldn't help but click his tongue from the bottom of his heart.

Fine.

Since he also has his hidden troubles, I can't be too heartless. Next time he falls into my hands, I'll be sure to give him a slap with a sympathetic look!

……

"Mm, wait a moment!"

After pondering how to treat his nominal brother-in-law in the future, Leon carefully savored Auntie Ai Ma's words and discovered that something didn't seem quite right, so he couldn't help but question:

"Shouldn't the dreams the King of Nightmares makes people have be about past regrets? But why are Joshua's dreams all about future situations? Could it be that he really just had a simple nightmare?"

"I've considered that possibility, but the probability is really low."

Auntie Ai Ma shook her head and said:

"Simple dreams are very fragmented; they wouldn't be so smooth, continuous, and logically clear, nor could they cause such huge damage to a person's mental state.

What's more, he has already lost his memory of the Princess, and doesn't even know who Xia Luote is, so how could he dream about her?"

"That's true too……"

After nodding in agreement with Auntie Ai Ma's judgment, Leon couldn't help but frown.

"Then what exactly is going on? Could it be that even an existence at the level of the King of Nightmares can make mistakes in the power they control?"

"Yeah, I can't figure it out either."

Auntie Ai Ma shook her head and said:

"I really have limited knowledge about things like dreams, souls, and spirits, so I want to go back and ask the Director first to see if she has any clues... By the way, Leon, are you planning to go back to the Bureau with me, or go back to your own home to take a look first?"

"I'll go home first."

After looking up at the sky, Leon reached out and touched the photo in his pocket, then smiled and said:

"Today is Wednesday, and the Bridge Public School lets out early. Calculating the time, Anna should have already picked up the two little ones from school, so it's just right for me to go home now."

"As for Prince Qiaoshuya's dream, I only just heard of the King of Nightmares, so even if I go back, I can't help much. Just wait for you... um... wait for you and the Director to research a result, and then just tell me what I can do."

"Alright, then I won't see you off."

Waving to the two steam carriages waiting on the side of the road and paying the fare before Leon could, Auntie Ai Ma hesitated slightly after boarding the carriage, then poked her head out and asked:

"Leon, do you still remember that I once asked you to do me a favor?"

"Remember! Of course I remember!"

Hearing this, Leon, who was about to get into the carriage, was slightly stunned, then turned around and promised with a serious face:

"Auntie Ai Ma, not only have you taught me a lot of the knowledge needed for work at the Cleaning Bureau, but you also saved my sister's life at the hospital! As long as it's something I can do, feel free to ask, no matter what the request is!"

"Why are you calling me Auntie again..."

Blinking her eyes helplessly, Auntie Ai Ma smiled and said:

"Since you've said so, I won't be polite with you then."

"Next month is my daughter's birthday. I... although I am a mother, I haven't spent much time with her, so I don't really know what children like."

"Leon, you have three younger siblings, so you should know more about this than I do. So when the time comes, could I ask you to spare a day to let my daughter have a birthday without regrets?"

You spoke so seriously before, but the result is just to spend her birthday with your daughter? Is this the favor you wanted me to do for you before?

After hearing Auntie Ai Ma's request, Leon couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but since he couldn't find a reason to refuse and didn't want to refuse, he nodded and agreed directly after thinking about it.

"Alright, which day exactly? I will definitely go!"

"The 6th! The 6th of next month!"

Hearing Leon agree to her request, Auntie Ai Ma couldn't help but show a happy smile, waving to him to say goodbye:

"At 8 AM on the 6th, I will bring Charlotte and wait for you under the big tree at the entrance of Baohua Manor on Redwood Avenue. You must come then!"

"Alright! I will definitely be there!"

After making the appointment with Auntie Ai Ma and watching her leave, Leon boarded his carriage, then took out his small notebook from his pocket and seriously recorded this matter on the latest page.

【To-do list:

1. Spy on Senior Tang Mu's soul state a few more times to see if he has been affected by the Aquarius Director (everything is normal for now)

2. Talk to the Director about my luck problem (the Director has no way either, shelved)

3. Infiltrate the Chengjin Sect, grind the Holy Spirit Badge to Gold (time uncertain, about three weeks later)

4. Go home to deliver the hair, then ask Anna about the photo, and by the way, confirm her sexual orientation. If there is danger, go to the Director for help (it probably isn't a sexual orientation issue)

5. Princess incident investigation (no clues for now, but it definitely has something to do with the Aquarius Director, *** the Aquarius Director! Why does he have to get involved in everything!)

6. Auntie Ai Ma's daughter's birthday (the 6th of next month, 8 AM, under the redwood tree at the entrance of Baohua Manor, her name is Charlotte)】

Hmm... these should be the most important ones.

After looking at these six things, Leon nodded with satisfaction and was about to put the notebook away, but as if remembering something, he pinched the charcoal pencil and drew a big question mark on the last item.

The freckled prince just said that Auntie Ai Ma is the last person of the Baohua family, but she still has a daughter. Did the Director secretly protect her? Or did the freckled prince remember wrong?

Also, the Baohua family... Auntie Ai Ma's entire family was executed... and she still has a daughter to take care of. No wonder she is so cautious despite having an immortal body, refusing to take any risks at all.

Oh, and! Although I don't know what Auntie Ai Ma originally wanted me to help her with, it definitely wasn't just to spend her daughter's birthday with her. I have to pay attention to this too!

……

"35 Bridge Street has arrived."

Leon was pinching the charcoal pencil, pondering Auntie Ai Ma's affairs while unconsciously drawing circles in his notebook, when the carriage driver's reminder came from the front.

"Guest, it's time for you to get off."

"Oh, oh!"

Leon, who had come back to his senses, put away his notebook, pushed open the carriage door, got off the carriage, and looked towards the direction of the Happy Apartment.

"Crack!" "Crack!"

"……"

Looking at the strong old man who was holding a pair of large shears and had suddenly arched out of the garden bushes, staring at him and starting to gesture, Leon's mouth couldn't help but twitch twice, and then he gave him a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.

Old man, you are really reliable. I just got off the carriage, and you are already squatting there swinging shears at me. You are really guarding against me twenty-four hours a day, right?

However, just as Leon was about to bypass the strong old man and find the curly-haired aunt to deal with him so he could go home to see his younger siblings, he saw two familiar little heads arching out of the bushes along with him.

"Big Brother?"

Seeing Leon standing outside, the two little ones were overjoyed, directly tiptoeing on the fence, jumping up and down, and trying hard to wave at him.

And Mei Lan Ni, who had changed into a beautiful little dress, shouted excitedly:

"Big Brother! Sister-in-law has already moved in! When can you marry her home?"

Sister-in-law... the Princess?

Hearing Mei Lan Ni's words, Leon couldn't help but blink in confusion.

Strange, how did they know about this? And when did the Princess move in? When he left, wasn't she still in the Cleaning Bureau?
