Chapter 925 A Big Gift for You
“Uncle Adrien, I thought I heard you guys plotting against Gilbert earlier. Do you have any grudge against Gilbert and Kisa? I think-”
“These things are too complicated and not for you to ask about or get involved in.” Adrien suddenly interrupted him. Instead of being stern, his voice had a hint of doting. “Just remember, later on, I will have a big gift for you.”
Peter got a little perplexed. “Uncle Adrien, why are you being so nice to me?”
“Because…” Adrien looked at his familiar face and chuckled, “I have been friends with your father for many years, and so I consider his child my own. Besides, I don’t have any children of my own.”
Peter smiled, feeling a little embarrassed. He somehow found some of Adrien’s words and demeanor strange, but he could not put his finger on them.
“Mr. Tanner, Mrs. Case is here to see you.” Just then, a bodyguard reported in.
Adrien smiled. “Invite her in.”
“Aye, Mr. Tanner.”
Peter stood up at once. “Since you have a guest, I will excuse myself.”
“Hmm, don’t wander off in Calthon. Take care of that wound on your arm, too, as it gets infected easily in the heat.”
Peter smiled and rolled up his cuffs. “I have never even shown this injury before but you can still tell. You really have a keen eye.”
you,
