Chapter 657 Matthew Appears
The young man looked around but saw no one. However, he knew very well that the person who could transmit sound to him through spiritual sense must be a top expert!
"If it weren't for the fear of alarming them, you'd already be a dead man. Will you leave on your own, or do I have to make you?"
At that moment, a middle-aged man appeared under a large tree in the greenbelt, staring at him indifferently.
"Who... who are you?"
The young man couldn't sense any aura from the middle-aged man, and his face grew increasingly grim.
Not being able to see through the other person only meant that the other person's strength was far superior to his own!
He had only felt this way when facing a few top experts in his sect, but now this middle-aged man gave him an even more unfathomable feeling than any expert he had ever met. How could he not be surprised?
"Cut the questions. Make your choice—life or death!"
The middle-aged man shook his head, his tone growing impatient.
The longer they delayed here, the more likely it was that Jessie in the villa would notice!
"Don't do anything, I'll leave right now!"
Seeing that the middle-aged man was getting angry, the young man shivered and disappeared from the spot as soon as he finished speaking.
"Smart choice!"
The middle-aged man looked in the direction where the young man had disappeared, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
He didn't leave immediately but instead looked deeply at the villa, at the spot where Jessie was currently located.
"I've kept this from you for so long; you must resent me in your heart. Everything is for our son. I hope that in the near future, our family can live together again!"
The middle-aged man murmured softly, a touch of tenderness appearing in his usually indifferent eyes.
He was Matthew, the third son of the Wilson family, Jessie's husband, and Ethan's biological father, who had been missing for many years!
However, Matthew had no intention of meeting Jessie or Ethan at this moment. If he hadn't known that Jessie and the others might be in danger, he wouldn't have risked appearing here!
"Should I call Ethan and ask when he'll be back?"
In the kitchen, Hannah asked with a smile after hearing Jessie's complaint.
"Forget it, he might be busy with something important right now. Let's not disturb him."
Jessie shook her head, but at that moment, she seemed to sense something and suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing Jessie's unusual expression, Hannah stopped cutting fruits and asked in surprise.
Jessie didn't answer but put down the knife and ran outside the villa!
In the living room, Chloe and the others, who had been playing with Camila, exchanged quick glances when they saw Jessie bolt out the door, then scrambled after her.
However, when Chloe and the others reached the villa's yard, they saw no one and could only focus their attention on Jessie, who was still standing at the gate in a daze.
"Mom, what happened?"
Chloe asked curiously as she approached.
"Nothing."
Jessie shook her head, unsure how to explain. Just a moment ago, she had felt Matthew's familiar aura and even heard him calling her name.
She believed her feelings couldn't be wrong, but when she came out, she found no one outside!
At that moment, a familiar figure appeared outside the villa, catching the attention of Chloe and the others.
"Mom, why are you all outside?"
Ethan, who had just returned to Novaria, looked at Chloe and the others in the yard and asked in surprise.
"Ethan, you're finally back. Wait, is that a wolf?"
Chloe hadn't had time to be happy before she saw Orla following closely behind Ethan, and she was immediately startled.
Jessie also noticed Orla and frowned.
The other girls had different expressions, but their eyes all showed a hint of fear!
On the contrary, Camila's eyes lit up, and she excitedly ran towards Orla!
"What a cute little doggy!"
Camila exclaimed excitedly, clearly mistaking Orla for a small white dog!
Ethan was speechless. Fortunately, he had made Orla smaller before appearing; otherwise, her horse-like size would have scared the girls out of their wits.
"Camila, don't go over there!"
Hannah was startled by Camila's actions, afraid she might get hurt, and quickly pulled her into her arms.
"Mom, let me go! I want to play with the doggy!"
Camila struggled in Hannah's arms.
"Master, she called me a dog!"
Orla's dissatisfied voice appeared in Ethan's Sea of Consciousness.
Ethan was both amused and helpless, quickly replying, "She's my daughter. She doesn't know any better. Please don't do anything rash!"
"Master's daughter?"
Orla's tone was filled with curiosity as she tilted her head and looked at Camila with her big, bright eyes.
The master has a daughter?
"And my mom, and my wives."
Ethan didn't know how to explain to Orla!
Orla was confused. In her impression, the master was a woman, so if she had a lover, it should be a man!
But now the master was a man, and all his lovers were women. When the master returned to her original body, what would happen to these relationships...
"Camila, stop it. This is a wolf, not a dog!"
Ethan didn't have time to explain to Orla. After briefly introducing their identities, he squatted in front of Camila and explained with a wry smile.
"I get it, it's a wolf-dog!"
Camila nodded innocently.
"It's not a wolf-dog; it's a real wolf, and a very fierce one at that!"
Ethan patiently explained, still smiling wryly.
"Ethan, why did you bring a wolf back?"
Jessie asked, frowning.
"I plan to have it guard the house. Is that okay? Don't worry, it's very intelligent and has recognized me as its master. It won't harm anyone around me!"
Ethan had to come up with a 'job' for Orla as an excuse. He couldn't very well say Orla was some kind of divine beast; that would be too hard to explain!
"That's great! Dad, does that mean we're going to have a little white wolf as a pet?"
Camila jumped up and down excitedly, not realizing the danger of a wild beast, mainly because Orla looked so cute!
"Are you sure it won't hurt anyone?"
Chloe asked, still worried.
"Trust me, she really won't harm you!"
Ethan reassured them repeatedly, knowing that just saying it wouldn't ease Chloe and the others' concerns. Only Camila, the innocent child, would unconditionally believe him!
"Dad, can I play with the little white wolf?"
Camila eagerly asked Ethan, her eyes filled with a hint of pleading.
"No!"
Hannah stopped Camila before Ethan could respond.
