In the sweltering summer heat, under the blazing sun, Ed didn't want to go out. He was currently sprawled on the table, practically dead. Gisela had handled the pregnancy situation very well, and Ed didn't need to worry about it.
Ed guessed that Sofia's bump on her forehead hadn't healed yet, because Adelaide, who was pouring water, also had a bump on her forehead.
Ed watched Adelaide pouring water with a grin. As the saying goes, "If you don't want to watch, you might as well."
Ed was holding this belief, and he laughed as he looked at Adelaide.
Adelaide covered her forehead with her hand, avoiding Ed's gaze.
"Adelaide, if it were me, I wouldn't go to Sofia's place." Ed wanted to teach Adelaide some life lessons.
"Master, you don't know! Sophia was hiding in the corner, and when I passed by, she suddenly ran out and hugged me." Adelaide was very dissatisfied with Sophia's behavior.
Ed declined to comment on Sophia's behavior, saying it was just a funny little girl.
Seeing Adelaide's sullen expression, Ed found it somewhat amusing.
"Alright, Adelaide, let's go find something interesting. Go and call Sophia."
It's so hot. Ed wants to go to the stables and rabbit hutch to see if there's any saltpeter, and then get a few iced summer drinks.
Ed used to read time-travel novels quite often, so this was no problem for him. These things could also be used for medical purposes, like applying ice to relieve pain—a win-win situation.
So inviting Sofia is just right.
The knocking on the door started again.
However, this time the door opened quickly, and Sophia appeared behind the wooden door, looking somewhat wary.
"My lord, you've arrived!" Sophia was somewhat surprised! He hadn't expected it to be the lord knocking on the door.
Yes, this time it was Ed who knocked on the door, and Adelaide was hiding behind it.
To Ed's surprise, Sophia had a bump on each side of her forehead.
Ed looked to the side, puzzled, and saw Adelaide smirking.
When Ed saw this, he thought you'd been ambushed and went to stand up for you. But you actually managed to knock someone's bag open again.
However, Ed was also happy for Sophia. Originally, Sophia's skin was very fair, and one bag looked a bit out of place. Now, with one bag on each side, she looked like a little dragon, which was very beautiful.
Ed found it increasingly difficult to control his emotions as he watched.
What to do? Ed was in agony. If he didn't smile, it was really uncomfortable; if he did smile, he was afraid of feeling awkward and damaging his image.
"Hahaha," Adelaide next to her couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.
She was very satisfied with her wise decision. After Sofia tapped her, she endured the pain and tapped Sofia back with her left hand.
Adelaide's laughter provoked Sofia behind the door, who glared angrily at the laughing Adelaide.
But as she stared at it, the bump on Adelaide's head slowly started to make her laugh.
From the gradual disappearance of anger on his face, to the upward turn of the corners of his mouth, to finally laughing heartily like Adelaide.
"Hahaha"
Before long, the two of them were laughing so hard they were lying on the ground. But as they squatted down to rest, they kept looking at each other, and the laughter just kept getting louder.
Laugh once, then catch your breath; laugh again, then catch your breath again. Finally, when you can't take it anymore, look down at the ground.
Looking at the two who were exhausted from laughing, Ed thought that they should have put their differences behind them by now!
"Adelaide, Sofia, stand up, let's go find something good."
