Qinuo had already discovered that Wanda's ability had awakened, but it seemed she didn't even know it herself.
However, Pietro's reaction was intriguing; it was clear he knew about it.
Qinuo picked Pietro up and placed him at the dining table, then asked,
"Can you tell me about it? I have no ill will towards you, and it might even benefit you."
Pietro was silent for a moment, knowing that My Lord had no need to deceive him, and slowly began to speak.
When they were young, their family was very happy, until a missile exploded in their home, but it was also at that moment that a red power appeared on Wanda, protecting both Wanda and him.
(In Wanda's memory, the entire house was blown to smithereens, yet the two children barely had any dust on them, which is unreasonable.)
But their parents still disappeared in the explosion. He and Wanda hid under the bed, and another missile fell, spending two long days watching the missile that could explode at any moment.
After that, Wanda seemed to forget the red power on her, only remembering the missile that never exploded.
Qinuo blinked. Disappearing parents, such a familiar trope.
Pietro was still immersed in his past memories.

On the other side, in the bathroom.
"Wanda, come here."
Pamela, wrapped in a bath towel, her lips curved into a gentle smile, lightly waved to Wanda, who was standing timidly to the side.
"Um, Pamela My Lord, I can do it myself." Wanda lowered her head, her hands nervously twisting in front of her, not daring to meet Pamela's gaze.
"You can't clean the sand and dust out of your hair by yourself, and I remember some insect eggs hatch in sand, and once they get on your head..."
Pamela deliberately paused, not finishing her sentence.
As soon as her words fell, Wanda's previously timid body shivered instantly. Then, she scurried over to Pamela and sat down obediently.
Just thinking about possibly having worms in her hair made her scalp tingle and her whole body feel uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Pamela chuckled and shook her head, then picked up the showerhead, carefully adjusting the Water temperature.
Wanda felt the gentle, feather-light movements on her hair, and her previously tense body gradually relaxed.
"Thank you, Pamela My Lord."
Wanda said softly, her voice carrying a hint of an almost imperceptible tremor.
"Don't call me My Lord, call me Sister."
Pamela's tone carried an undeniable gentleness.
"...Pamela Sister."
Wanda hesitated, then called out softly.
"Mm, I'm here."
Pamela responded.
A simple "I'm here" seemed to possess a magical power, reaching deep into Wanda's heart.
Wanda's eyes instantly reddened, and tears streamed uncontrollably.
Tears mixed with the warm Water from the showerhead, flowing down her cheeks and dripping onto her knees.
Wanda bit her lower lip, trying to suppress her sobs, but her trembling shoulders still betrayed her inner turmoil.
Pamela also put down the showerhead and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did it get in your eyes?"
"No, no, can I hug you? Pamela Sister."
Wanda said, sobbing.
As soon as she finished speaking, Wanda's face was buried in warmth, surrounded by a faint floral scent.
"Cry, it'll be better once you cry it out."
Pamela gently stroked the small head in her arms, a subtle smile appearing in her eyes.
The Tranquility Incense, combined with a soothing, stress-relieving atmosphere and some small tricks, was enough to make Wanda let down her guard.
Qinuo had told her about Wanda's identity that morning before he left. Now was the best time to gain her loyalty.
Although Qinuo didn't care, Pamela also wanted to do what she could.
"Waaah, waaah, Mom, Mom..."
Wanda didn't know any of this. She only felt a mother's presence in Pamela's embrace.
Having lived with Pietro since she was young, she had many worries she wanted to express, but Pietro was also very tired, so she could only keep these feelings bottled up, and her personality became more and more introverted.
But at this moment, in Pamela's warm embrace, the lock that had sealed her heart quietly opened.
Wanda could no longer suppress her emotions and burst into loud sobs, tears flowing like a broken dam.
Pamela's mouth twitched. Was she being too forceful? She didn't want such a big child.
After a while.
"They say women are made of Water, but you must be made of tears."
A third person's voice echoed in the bathroom.
Wanda lifted her head from Pamela's embrace, meeting a stunningly beautiful face, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"So beautiful..."
Unlike Pamela Sister's elegant and gentle demeanor, the person in front of her exuded a completely enchanting aura.
"You're so good with words, Pamela. Your maternal aura is getting stronger and stronger."
Venom smiled slightly, a hint of teasing in her eyes.
"Venom Sister is joking."
Pamela didn't believe Venom hadn't noticed her little tricks.
"Hello, I'm Wanda..."
Wanda introduced herself again, her voice still a little choked.
"I'm Venom, you can also call me Venom Sister."

"Pietro, what's wrong?"
Pietro came back to his senses, looking at Wanda, who was beautifully dressed, with a smile on her face that he hadn't seen in a long time. The last time he saw Wanda smile was when their parents were still alive.
"Pietro?"
Wanda tilted her head.
"It seems your brother is captivated by you, little beauty."
"Venom Sister, no, that tickles!"
Wanda dodged Venom's fingers as they slid across her cheek.
When she couldn't dodge anymore, she ran and hid behind Pamela, showing clear trust in Pamela.
Pamela smiled, cooperatively opening her arms to block Venom.
"Alright, Venom Sister, let them eat first. Their stomachs are growling."
"Pamela Sister, they're not growling!"
"Okay, they're not!"
As Wanda sat next to Pietro, Pamela and Venom also took their seats beside Qinuo.
Wanda still felt a little scared looking at Qinuo across the table.
"Don't be afraid, he doesn't eat people."
Pamela put food into Wanda's bowl.
Pietro also picked up his spoon.
Qinuo watched Wanda eat with great relish and said, "Eat more, get fatter, the meat will be chewier."
"Mmph! Hiccup~ I'm not, hiccup~ good at eating."
Wanda looked at Pamela with teary eyes, startled into hiccups by that remark.
"Darling!"
Pamela looked at Qinuo dangerously.
I'm here helping you win people's hearts, and you're causing trouble for me.
Seeing the situation was not good, Qinuo immediately put away his playful expression and apologized honestly.
"I'm sorry."
After speaking, he thoughtfully poured a glass of juice and gently placed it in front of Wanda, trying to make amends for his mistake.
Wanda, still hiccuping, looked stunned, her eyes wide, seemingly unable to believe what she had heard. Was he apologizing to her?
Pietro also looked at Qinuo in surprise.
