Chapter 747

In Leon's hesitation, the carriage carrying Leon's family passed the road card, entered Red Cedar Avenue, and drove all the way to the depths.

After the two little guys leaned on the edge of the carriage window and looked at the two huge red cedar trees that were a hundred meters high in amazement, Leon also saw Senior Emma's familiar figure at the entrance of Precious Flower Manor.

After holding one little guy in each hand and bringing William and Melanie down from the carriage, looking at Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, who was wearing a set of plain-colored woolen skirt with almost no decorations, holding a little girl's hand, and smiling quietly at him by the street, Leon's heart felt inexplicably much more peaceful.

"Sorry, we came a little late."

"It's not late; Ellie and I just came out not long ago."

Looking at the two little guys who were holding Leon's hands on the left and right and were curiously looking at her daughter, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma could not help but smile, then gently squeezed the tiny palm in her palm that was nervously trying to clench into a fist.

"Ellie, greet Uncle Leon."

After nodding obediently, the little girl, who was wearing a wide-brimmed children's soft hat and a woolen skirt of the same color, opened her mouth timidly:

"Hello Uncle Leon, hello Aunt Anna, and... hello to you too."

The little girl's voice was very pleasant to hear; not only was it as crisp and pleasant as a wind chime under the eaves in summer, but the end of her words also carried a soft, milky tone; just listening to her voice made one feel that she would be a very gentle child.

It's just that, compared to the soft voice, the little girl's attire was a bit "not easy to approach"; the cuffs and hem of the woolen skirt seemed to have been specially lengthened, covering her wrists and little shoes tightly.

Even the collar embroidered with a few small flowers was stood up, hiding her slightly chubby chin firmly behind it; on her face, which was already blocked by the wide hat brim, she was also wearing a pair of not-so-transparent big glasses, and her fair little face was almost completely hidden.

This child... seems to be a little afraid of light?

After looking at the palm held by Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma and finding that she was also wearing a pair of exquisite little gloves, Leon raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, then let go of his hand and took the initiative to squat down, smiling:

"Hello to you too, Ellie, happy birthday."

"Thank you Uncle Leon..."

When Leon took the initiative to squat down to look at her, the little girl, who seemed to rarely communicate with others, instinctively took a step back, and more than half of her body was hidden behind Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's skirt.

But after hearing Leon's powerful but not aggressive voice and seeing his gentle eyes mixed with a trace of pity, the timidity in little Ellie's heart suddenly dissipated by more than half, and she actually walked half a step closer to Leon without knowing it.

This?

After discovering that the little hand held in her palm was no longer tense, and even pulled out slightly, as if wanting to take her closer to Leon, a look of surprise appeared in Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's eyes.

Ellie doesn't seem to resist contact with Leon?

【Trustworthy Older Brother (Bronze): Because your parents died early, you took on... deeply loved by your younger siblings】

【Wearing effect: When talking to minors younger than you, the other party will easily develop a sense of trust in you, and when they are emotionally agitated, they will easily trigger the special state "Pour Out Your Heart", confiding their bitterness and secrets to you】

Sure enough, Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's daughter has too little contact with others, so she will indeed be a little afraid of strangers; it was right for him to switch the badge out in advance.

After looking at little Ellie's eyes through the lenses and confirming that the timidity and strangeness in them had disappeared by more than half, Leon could not help but smile slightly, then waved at William and Melanie, letting them also come to greet "Sister Ellie."

And first, with 【Trustworthy Older Brother】 as the foundation, the tension and timidity in her heart were eliminated; second, she met two social-terrorist powder-puffs of the same age at once, and her emotions were soon brought to be lively. Little Ellie, who was not very good at dealing with others, soon crossed the strangeness between each other and played with the two little demons of Leon's family, even generously taking off her glasses and lending them to Melanie, who was curious, to try on.

He guessed right; Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's daughter has "problems."

Although neither of the two children noticed it, after little Ellie took off her glasses, Leon, who had been paying attention to her, keenly noticed that when more sunlight fell on her skin, her body became slightly transparent.

Even if the degree of change was not large, it was just equivalent to changing from a completely opaque real body to a 99.9% opaque degree, but that kind of illusory and fluttering feeling could not be fake; she was definitely not a "normal" child.

And before little Ellie took off her glasses, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, who was chatting with Anna, bit her lower lip slightly, seemingly wanting to stop it, but in the end, she didn't open her mouth, letting her daughter's abnormality be exposed to Leon's eyes, only reaching out to help slightly when little Ellie's soft hat was tilted in the play and was about to be directly exposed to the sun.

"Miss Anna, can I ask you for a favor?"

Looking at her daughter who was laughing and jumping happily in the sun and had never been so "vivid," Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, whose eyes were half pity and half guilt, simply could not bear to move her eyes away for a moment, but in the end, she still tried hard to turn her head back and asked Anna for help:

"Can you please help me look after them? I have something I want to talk to Leon about; sorry to trouble you."

"Sister Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, you don't have to be so polite."

Facing her savior, Anna naturally would not refuse, directly taking the three children who were playing, bypassing the execution platform next to the red cedar tree from afar, and entering Precious Flower Manor along the main road.

And Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, who had something to say, lagged half a step behind, walked to Leon's side, who also had something to ask, and said softly with her eyes lowered:

"Sorry... Leon, I haven't told you about Ellie's situation before."

"It's okay."

After shaking his head slightly, Leon answered softly:

"Senior Emma, besides ordering a gift for little Ellie yesterday, I also went to find a friend in the Police Department and presumptuously asked her to help me check the household registration records of the Precious Flower family, as well as a part of the archives from that year.

So I can roughly understand your feelings; you didn't not want to tell me, but every time you wanted to bring up the things from back then, too many things would be turned over from the bottom of your heart, making you unable to open your mouth."

After looking at Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, who was biting her lip tightly and had an exceptionally complicated expression, Leon thought for a while, then held her slightly cold palm and squeezed it firmly, then explained with full sincerity:

"Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, the reason I did these investigations was not because I suspected that you would be detrimental to me, but because I felt that you and the Director seemed to be hiding something from me, and it was something very bad for you.

But unlike the Director, I am willing to respect your thoughts; if you still haven't prepared your mind, you don't have to tell me the reason, and I will stop the investigation.

But in return, I also hope you can promise me that before you can't help but do certain things, you must think carefully about Ellie before making a decision, okay?"

"Thank you..."

Feeling the temperature coming from Leon's hand, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma bit her lip and gently withdrew her palm, then took out a sharp little knife, cut her palm forcefully, and then actively grabbed Leon's left hand.
