Cecil didn't like Anne, because Anne always used Count Levitt's words to suppress her.

Cecil felt that Annie was her maid, so she should obey her orders, not her father's. If Annie must take care of her, why not just be her stepmother?

Cecil was bored with Annie, but didn't bother to get a new maid. Fortunately, Anne has always been around Count Levitt in the past two years, and Cecil's life has been much cleaner because of this.

"Good boy, you have come back." Standing in front of the tall bookshelf, the handsome man beckoned to Cecil who entered the room.

Cecil looked around and found that Arnold was also there.

She raised a harmless smile of humans and animals and walked over: "Dad, what can I do if you ask me to come?"

Kevin Levitt, the current Earl of Levitt, is also the father of Cecil and Lena.

Cecil speculated that Kevin called her and Arnold over to tell them about Lena. When he thought that in the future this man would scold him for Lena, Cecil didn't even want to give him a look.

"Listen to Annie saying that you and Arnold went to the aquatic market together? How about, are there any gains?" Kevin stroked Cecil's hair gently, his voice filled with patience.

Cecil replied obediently: "I bought a small fish."

Arnold: Are you a little fish?

"What kind of fish is it, can I show my father?"

Cecil: "No."

Kevin: "..."

After being unceremoniously rejected by his daughter, Kevin rubbed his nose awkwardly. He looked at Cecil's expression calmly, coughed dryly twice, and then sat down to the point.

"Um, I actually called you two brothers and sisters to come over to tell you one thing."

Cecil moved his eyelids lazily, waiting for him to continue.

"Actually...you have a younger sister." Kevin paused slightly and said solemnly.

"Sister?" Arnold frowned slightly.

"Um..." Kevin nodded, "She's Lena, only half a year younger than Cecil, and a kind-hearted and optimistic child."

Cecil couldn't help but glanced at Kevin. As soon as the man met her gaze, he avoided his sight with a guilty conscience.

She was only half a year younger, that is to say, when his mother was still pregnant, Kevin had hooked up with his Bai Yueguang?

Cecil thought of her mother's happy and contented expression before her death, and suddenly felt sad for her.

What a poor woman, she believed that her husband loved her until she died.

Bah, scumbag!

"Lina has been living with her grandmother all these years. Not long ago, her grandmother passed away and she was the only one left in the family. I learned about her a week ago and went to visit her."

Kevin's voice softened unconsciously, completely different from the deliberate gentleness when Cecil was asked.

"She's been... very hard. For so many years, I have never fulfilled my father's obligations to her. Now I want to take her back and let her live with us as a member of the Levitt family, okay? "

The study fell silent, and neither Cecil nor Arnold made a sound.

Arnold obviously did not expect that he still had a sister the same age as Cecil, who was still in a state of surprise at this time. And Cecil didn't speak because her mind was full of her little one, and she was worried that Annie would lose her little octopus.

Can't it, that clumsy guy. Why don't you go back and have a look?

Cecil frowned in worry, and Arnold turned his face slightly to see her long, snow-colored eyelashes drooping, and a faint melancholy between her eyebrows.

Arnold felt very uncomfortable.

He raised his head, his bright and pure blue eyes were like a frosty lake, revealing a rare coldness: "If we say nothing, will you follow our opinion?"

Kevin couldn't help frowning: "...Of course not."

"Then there is no need to go on." Arnold walked to Cecil and took her hand, and saluted Kevin nonchalantly, "Cecile is very tired today, I will take her to rest. "

After speaking, he took Cecil out of the study without even saying goodnight.

Arnold and Cecil walked side by side in the corridor. Cecil walked in a hurry and said nothing. Arnold looked in his eyes and couldn't help holding her wrist.

"Cecile, don't think about it."

Cecil looked sad: "I don't want to, Anne is so useless..."

Arnold froze for a moment: "Annie?"

"Yes, Xiaoyi is in Annie's hands now." Cecil looked very worried. "Seeing her hands shaking like that, I shouldn't give Xiaoyi to her. If she loses Xiaoyi Now, where can I find another octopus..."

Arnold: "..."

It turns out that their beloved father is not as important as a newly bought pet in Cecil's heart.

Arnold couldn't laugh or cry. He was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he suddenly thought of a serious problem—

A father is not as good as a pet, what about him? His status is not lower than that of the pet, right?

Arnold was on the verge of an enemy, and was about to discuss this issue with Cecil, when a harsh scream suddenly came from the direction of Cecil's room.

Cecil and Arnold looked at each other and ran over immediately.

The glass bottle broke to the ground and all the water in the bottle spilled out. Annie sat on the ground in horror, shaking like a sieve.

Cecil quickly scanned the mess in this place and asked calmly: "Where is the little one?"

Annie replied with a crying voice: "It, it bit me..."

"I asked where he was, not what he did." Cecil said slowly.

Annie flinched: "It, it escaped... escaped from the bottle..."

Cecil: "..."

It seems that Annie really can't stay, and the faults she asked cannot be corrected after so many years.

Cecil gave up the questioning altogether, crouched down and looked in the gaps in the various furniture.

Arnold walked over to Anne and squatted down, watching her eyes gently: "Annie, you said it bit you, can you tell me why it bit you?"

Annie, who was trembling with fright, saw that Arnold's attitude was so gentle, and the fear and fear on her face disappeared slightly.

"I, I threw the breadcrumbs into the bottle. I thought it would eat. Who knew it would not smell, and suddenly it got tangled in my hands! I was so scared, I wanted to tear it off, and then it just Suddenly opened his mouth..."

"Mouth?" Arnold carefully recalled the appearance of the little octopus, but only did not remember where its mouth grew.

"Uh, uh... it suddenly opened its mouth, and its mouth was full of sharp teeth, which is very scary!" Annie seemed to think of the scene, and her body shook uncontrollably, "I was so scared at the time. Then it bit on my tiger's mouth in one bite, and I threw it away in pain, and then...it, it disappeared..."

She stretched out her hand in front of Arnold tremblingly, blood dripping from the tiger's mouth, and when she looked closely, there was a row of fine and dense teeth marks, like a needle stick, you could see that these teeth were very sharp.

"Who told you not to feed it meat."

The girl's clear voice suddenly sounded, and Annie shook her whole body in fright. Turning her head to see, Cecil did not know when she had already stood behind her.

Arnold wondered: "No meat?"

"Yeah, no meat, of course the first one has to find meat to eat." Cecil naturally nodded, "Her hands are meat."

Arnold: "..."

"Do you think it thinks that way?" Arnold asked uncertainly.

Cecil: "Of course, normal people think that way, right?"

Arnold: "..."

Annie: "..."

Arnold began to seriously reflect on whether he was a normal person.

Cecil picked up the jerky on the table and shook it in the air: "Little One, come out to eat meat."

The room was quiet, only Annie was sobbing intermittently.

Arnold: "Could it have gone out?"

Cecil raised Annie's bitten hand and shook it in the air: "Little One, come out to eat meat."

Annie: "..."

A faint smell of blood diffused in the air, and after a rustling sound, the little octopus slowly crawled out of the gap under the closet, swinging its slender tentacles.

Cecil bent down, a temptation in his low, soft voice: "Little one, come here."

"Ah! Don't come over! Don't eat me! Don't eat me—"

Seeing the little octopus approaching slowly, Annie gave a sudden scream, then slammed Cecil away and ran out of the room like she was fleeing for her life.

Cecil asked puzzled: "She's crazy?"

Arnold: "..."

The little octopus crawled onto Cecil's wrist with the remaining **** aura. Cecil touched his little head with encouragement, took the jerky, and said expectantly: "Come, eat."

The little octopus raised a tentacle to probe on the jerky, then rolled up the jerky and sent it into the small hole at the base of the tentacle at a very fast speed.

I don't seem to see any teeth.

Cecil stared at the little octopus intently to eat, and Arnold couldn't help but say: "Cecile, let's not raise the little one, okay?"

Cecil didn't look up: "Why?"

"Because he can bite, you saw it too." Arnold was afraid that the little octopus would bite Cecil while he was eating, and his speech speed unconsciously sped up. Bar."

"Puppies will bite people, do you think they are dangerous?"

Cecil glanced at Arnold, with a smile in his clear eyes, "Don't worry, brother, there will be nothing wrong. Xiaoyi has established a very deep friendship with me, right, Xiaoyi?"

The little octopus who was eating squinted his eyes contentedly, and the wet pitch-black tentacles slowly wrapped around the girl's fingers, as if responding to her affectionately.

Cecil smiled crookedly: "Look, brother."

Arnold did not speak, but stared at the little octopus steadily.

I don’t know if it’s his illusion, he always feels that Xiaoyi’s body...

Seems to be bigger?
