Chapter 183 Emma's Request
Chapter 183 Emma's Request
"..."
Does he have other difficulties?
Thinking back to the arrogant, annoying, extremely self-centered freckled prince whose face had the words "need to be fucked" written all over it, Leon couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.
Fine.
Since he also has his own difficulties, I can't be too unsympathetic. Next time he falls into my hands again, I can beat him with a sympathetic look!
……
"Um, wait a minute!"
After thinking about how to treat his nominal brother-in-law in the future, Leon carefully pondered what Senior Emma said, and found that something seemed to be wrong. He couldn't help but questioned:
"Shouldn't the Nightmare King make people dream about the regrets of the past? But why did Joshua dream about the future? Could it be that he really just had a nightmare?"
"I have thought about this possibility, but the possibility is really low."
Emma shook her head and said:
"Pure dreams are fragmented, not so smooth and continuous with clear logic, and it is impossible for them to cause such great harm to a person's mental state.
What's more, he has lost his memory of the princess and doesn't even know who Veronica is, so how could he dream about her?"
"It's also..."
After nodding in agreement with Senior Emma's judgment, Leon couldn't help but frown.
"What is going on? Could it be that even a being of the Nightmare King's level could make mistakes in the power he controls?"
"Yeah, I can't figure it out either."
Emma shook her head and said:
"I really don't know much about dreams, souls, and spirits, so I want to go back and ask the director to see if she has any clues... By the way, Leon, are you going to go back to the bureau with me, or go back to your 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 arms, then smiled and said:
"Today is Wednesday, and the Bridge School finishes early. If you calculate the time, Anna should have picked up the two little ones from school. It's just in time for me to go home now.
As for Prince Joshua's dream, I just heard about the Nightmare King. I can't help him even if I go back. I just need to wait for you, senior... um... wait for you and the director to come up with the results, and then tell me what I can do. "
"Okay, then I won't send it to you."
After waving at the two steam carriages waiting on the roadside and paying the fare before Leon, Emma hesitated for a moment before leaning out and asking:
“Leon, do you remember that I once asked you to do me a favor?”
"Remember! Of course I remember!"
Hearing this, Leon, who was about to get on the car, was slightly startled, then turned around and promised seriously:
"Senior Emma, you not only taught me a lot of knowledge needed for working in the Cleanup Bureau, but you also saved my sister's life at the hospital! As long as I can do it, you can ask for anything!"
"Why are you calling me senior again..."
After blinking helplessly, Emma smiled and said:
"Since you said so, I won't be polite with you.
My daughter’s birthday is next month, and I...although I am a mother, I have not spent much time with her, so I don’t really know what children like.
Leon, you have three younger brothers and sisters, so you should know more about this than I do. So, when the time comes, can you please spare a day so that my daughter can have a birthday without regrets? "
You said it so seriously, but in the end I just spent my birthday with your daughter? Is this what you wanted me to do for you?
After hearing Senior Emma's request, Leon couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse, nor did he want to refuse. After thinking about it, he nodded and agreed.
"Okay, what day exactly? I'll definitely be there!"
"The 6th! The 6th of next month!"
Hearing that Leon agreed to her request, Emma couldn't help but smile happily, waved goodbye to him and said: "At 6 o'clock in the morning on the 8th, I will take Ellie and wait for you under the big tree at the entrance of Baohua Manor on Redwood Avenue. You must come then!"
"Okay! I'll be there!"
After making an agreement with Senior Emma and watching her leave, Leon boarded his own carriage, then took out a small notebook from his bosom and carefully wrote down the incident on the latest page.
To-do items:
1. Take a closer look at Tom's soul to see if he has been affected by Aquarius Director (currently everything is normal)
2. Talk to the director about my luck problem (the director can’t do anything about it, so put it aside)
3. Sneak into the Gold Scale Church gathering and upgrade the Holy Spirit Badge to gold (time is uncertain, probably three weeks later)
4. Go home and deliver the hair, then ask Anna about the photo, and determine her sexual orientation. If she is in danger, go to the director for help (it should not be about sexual orientation)
5. Investigation of the Wang incident (I don’t have any clues yet, but it must be related to Director Aquarius. Damn Director Aquarius! Why does he have to get involved in everything?)
6. The birthday of Emma’s daughter (next month 6th, 8am, under the redwood tree at the entrance of Baohua Manor, her name is Ellie)]
Well... these are probably the most important things.
After looking at these six things, Leon nodded with satisfaction and was about to put the notebook away, but he seemed to remember something and drew a big question mark on the last thing with a charcoal pencil.
Prince Freckles just said that Senior Emma was the last member of the Baohua family, but she still had a daughter. Was it the director who secretly helped to keep her alive? Or did Prince Freckles remember it wrongly?
Besides, the Baohua family... Emma's entire clan was executed... and they had a daughter to take care of, no wonder they were so cautious even though they were immortal and refused to take any risks.
Oh, and one more thing! Although I don’t know what Emma wanted me to do for her, it’s definitely not for her daughter’s birthday, so I have to pay attention to this!
……
"We're at 35 Bridge Street."
Leon was holding a charcoal pencil, thinking about Senior Emma and drawing circles unconsciously in a small notebook, when he heard the coachman's reminder from the front.
"Guest, it's time for you to get off the bus."
"oh oh!"
Leon came to his senses, put away the notebook, pushed open the door and got off the carriage, looking in the direction of Happy Apartment.
"Click!" "Click!"
"..."
Looking at the sturdy old man who suddenly emerged from the bushes in the garden with a pair of big scissors and started gesturing at him, the corners of Leon's mouth twitched twice, and then he gave him a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.
Uncle, you are so reliable. I just got off the car and you were already squatting there swinging scissors at me. You really are keeping a close eye on me 24 hours a day, right?
However, just as Leon was about to bypass the strong old man and ask Aunt Curly to punish him so that he could go home to see his younger brothers and sisters, he saw two familiar little heads popping out from the bushes.
"Big brother?"
Seeing Leon standing outside, the two little guys couldn't help but be overjoyed. They stood on tiptoe and climbed onto the fence, jumping up and down and waving at him.
Melanie, who had changed into a pretty little dress, shouted excitedly:
"Brother! My sister-in-law has already moved in! When can you marry her home?"
Sister-in-law...Princess?
After hearing what Melanie said, Leon couldn't help but blink in confusion.
Strange, how did they know this? Also, when did the princess move in? Wasn't she still in the cleaning bureau when I left?
