It was clear that the warning was for real. When it was around midnight, Luna indeed began to hear some noises.

Once her memories had been restored, she became very alert. Naturally, the noises couldn’t escape her keen hearing.

She slowly opened her eyes and the closed window had been opened, revealing a gap. The white curtains danced in the wind.

She managed to see a figure on the floor thanks to the moonlight.

Very quickly, a little boy managed to get in skillfully by climbing on the balcony’s rails.

In the darkness, Luna closed her eyes with a smile.

Luckily all the balconies in the White residence were connected. If not, he wouldn’t ever be able to cross balconies with those short legs of his.

After a while, a cold little hand stroked his forehand as the dark wind howled next to his ears.

A bloody face was getting closer and closer, but before he could even say anything, the woman on the bed had been expecting him and suddenly sat up in the darkness. Calix was the one getting scared instead as he yelped, “Ah!”

Luna laughed as she looked at little Calix, who covered his mouth as he took a few steps back. “That’s all?”

Only then did Calix realize that he was the one that was being scared. He immediately mumbled shyly, “You- you- you weren’t asleep at all!”

Luna nodded with a smile. And then she pinched at Calix’s little face using the moonlight as a light source. “Firstly, only a robber would come in from the window. Do you know what robbers are? They’re thieves!”

Calix immediately refuted and said, “This is my home! I’m not a thief!”

Although he was still very young, he knew what Luna meant.

“IS it, now?” Luna looked at Calix, her eyes were filled with an overbearing aura. In an instant, Calix began to feel afraid despite being all bossy just a moment ago.

He had never felt it even from his grandfather, who was the strictest among them.

In that instant, he felt that he was really at fault.

When Luna saw that he had lowered his head, Luna continued and said, “Secondly, a prank that stepped over the line usually comes with a great price!”

Calix blinked. He wasn’t really sure what she was saying.

Luna then asked him, “Have you ever pranked your uncle?”

Calix shook his head. He didn’t dare to. When his uncle got angry, he was even scarier than his own father.

Luna then said to him, “That’s right! Your uncle is so old now. If you scared him, he might have to go to the hospital. It might even get very dangerous! And then, you’ll no longer have an uncle!”

Calix frowned and said, “You’re lying. My uncle looks very strong. You’re cursing him!”

She hadn’t expected the little kid to be so protective of Alexander. She then continued, “Some of them might look strong, but their bodies are quite frail. Your uncle is the same!”

Calix thought for a moment and then suddenly raised his head and asked puzzlingly, “They said that you are mentally ill? Is that true?”

Luna was stunned. She then looked at Calix sternly and said, “Yes! If I were scared, I would fall ill and it would be very terrible.”

Maybe because her eyes were very terrifying, Calix asked as he took another step back. “What- what will happen?”

“It’s hard to say,” Luna extended her hand and patted Calix. “If no one scares me, I will be fine. But if someone scares me, I might die!”

Calix fell silent. He finally knew fear.

When she saw that, Luna didn’t want to continue scaring him. She then slowly said, “Now you know. You can’t do this again, alright?”

Calix nodded and Luna then let go of him and let him go back to his room.

“Hm? You’re still using the window?”

The little boy was stunned for a moment, turned around, and walked out the door.

Once she closed the door, Luna lay down in bed. The spoiled child wasn’t that hard to deal with!

What she didn’t know was that Calix didn’t understand everything that she had said. However, the aura from her eyes had made him surrender to her.

Next day.

When Luna woke up, it was already nine in the morning.

She was shocked, “Why did I only wake up at this hour? Oh no, oh no!”

Would this give the White family a bad impression?

She quickly changed and cleaned up. When she opened the door, she could then hear happy laughter.

She leaned over the rails and looked over, and saw Alexander was playing wooden blocks with Calix in the living room.

“You’re awake?” Willow came over with a smile as she looked at Luna. “Mom and Dad had something to do so they left very early together with Zane. I made breakfast, so let’s eat!”

“Ah! Alright, thanks,” Luna said, but she was looking at Alexander from the corner of her eye.

He raised his head and looked at her before lowering his head and playing with Calix again.

The four of them sat around the table shortly thereafter. Willow was trying to get Calix to eat some.

However, Calix didn’t want to eat. He would only take one bite despite being fed thrice.

Luna was drinking her soup and didn’t say anything after glancing at the boy.

Meanwhile, Alexander scolded him saying, “Calix, eat your food.”

Calix looked at Alexander and ate his food despite his unwillingness.

“Thank goodness you’re home. If Dad isn’t here, he wouldn’t co-operate with me at all,” Willow said with a sigh. “He didn’t want to eat at all and this is the period when his body is growing. If this continues, what’ll happen to him?!”

Alexander’s hand froze in midair just as he was going to reach for the food, and he said, “Calix, did you hear your mother? Eat properly!”

Calix pouted and said, “But I want to eat ice cream. I want chips!”

“Those are not nutritious at all! You have to stop eating them, alright?” Willow wiped his mouth using the handkerchief. She then said, “If you keep eating them, then you won’t get stronger or taller! Don’t you want to play basketball with your uncle?”

“Okay,” Calix said. Next, Willow’s hand froze too when he said, “But Uncle is not doing good despite being so tall, which means eating properly is useless, Mommy!”

“Pfft!” Luna was almost choked to death when she heard it.

“Cough, cough…”

“Calix. Tell me, who said that?” While Alexander was asking Calix, his eyes were fixed on Luna instead.

“Aunt said that!” Calix sold Luna out very quickly. “Last night, she said that you only look okay, but your body is not doing good!”

“Calix!” Willow warned him.

“I’m full,” Alexander put down the fork on his table, stood up, pulled away from the chair, and walked away.

It seemed that he was… very angry!

Luna, “…”

Willow, “…”

The sudden silence was the scariest part.

Luna wanted to cry, but she didn’t dare to do anything now!

Question! My boss is very angry, what should I do?

I’m waiting online for a response! This is urgent!
