A strange scene was unfolding at the dining table early that morning.
Mikhail and Alexei had red-rimmed eyes. They'd stayed up very late last night, so it was understandable.
But why did both Sonya and Irina have dark circles?
Elijah looked at the four people in slight confusion.
They looked like four ghosts who had mutually agreed to haunt the breakfast table together.
He half expected to be wracked with anxiety. If the Vetrov family asked him anything about his parents or even his work, it would be difficult for him to speak.
Talking with Sonya was different. After all, she was just a child, and she had no intention of making fun of him or calling him fake.
But none of his fears came to pass.
Alexei had clearly told them everything. What surprised Elijah was how quickly they accepted his background.
Elijah had no idea how difficult Alexei's situation had been when he was a kid.
After the kidnapping incident, they had become overly cautious.
