Chapter 175 Meeting Symon Again

Chapter 175 Meeting Symon Again

The villa was well-decorated. There were rows of colored lights hanging in the yard. It must be beautiful when they were lit up at night.

Nancy and Adam went back home tiredly. Marcus stopped what he was doing with a puzzled frown and walked up to them.

Adolph was always naughty, but it dared not to look at Marcus. It buried his head in his paws at once, sobbing and drooping its ears.

Adam started to complain about Adolph to Marcus. He was pissed off by this stupid dog.

Even Nancy didn't intercede with Marcus for Adolph. This was because Adolph indeed caused a lot of trouble for her and Adam today.

Marcus stared blankly at Adolph, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

Adolph secretly raised its eyes to glance at Marcus and then quickly lowered its eyes.

Marcus pointed at a corner, "Face the wall and ponder about your misdeeds."

Adolph felt aggrieved.

Under Marcus's icy gaze, Adolph walked slowly towards the corner with its tail between its legs and its head drooping. It turned to look back at Nancy repeatedly at every step.

Nancy snorted angrily, "You disobeyed me today!"

Adolph whimpered pitifully and walked to the corner. It set its big head against the wall and reflected on itself seriously.

"Nancy, where's your scarf?"

Marcus remembered Nancy went out wearing a scarf. But now the scarf around her neck had disappeared. She was wearing a high-neck sweater, so she wouldn't feel cold.

But her scarf was gone.

Nancy lowered her head with a guilty conscience, but she didn't dare to lie. She talked about her encounter with Jinx.

But she didn't know Jinx had another name, Symon.

"What! Did you come across the person whom you saw at school before?"

It wasn't Marcus but Adam who reacted violently. Adam was so shocked that he jumped up.

Marcus wore a solemn look and there was something indefinable and horrible in his eyes.

Their reaction frightened Nancy. She held Marcus' hand worriedly and looked up at him.

"What's wrong?"

Marcus squatted down and wrapped his arms around Nancy's shoulders. He asked seriously.

"Tell me your encounter with Jinx in detail, ok?" Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

He comforted Nancy gently and stroked her head, "Don't be afraid."

Nancy's other elder brothers and Shawn also came over. Their smiles suddenly froze on their lips when they knew whom Nancy had met from the angry Adam.

But they didn't want to scare Nancy, so they pretended to be calm.

After Nancy said what had happened carefully, they were confused.

They wondered why Symon approached Nancy and what he wanted to do.

Symon didn't do anything harmful to Nancy. It seemed that he just wanted to celebrate the new year with Nancy. He looked pathetic in front of Nancy.

He also did not lie to Nancy.

Adam shouted in disbelief, "I didn't even ask you to give me your scarf. How dare Symon do that!"

Unexpectedly, Adam focused on Nancy's scarf. Louis was speechless and couldn't help pressing Adam's head to shut him up.

Shawn narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, "Symon doesn't want to hurt Nancy. He seems to regard Nancy as his little sister. But I don't know why."

He was somewhat displeased, as if his treasure was found by others.

"Nancy, tell us in detail about the first time you met Symon. Adam, you should also recall."

Nancy sat on the chair covered with soft cushions. Neil wrapped a small blanket around her legs, but it was not cold in the room.

Nancy grasped a corner of the blanket nervously with her slender and fair fingers. Her eyes were red and watery. Now she knew Jinx was a bad guy, but she wondered why he acted kindly in front of her.

Nancy drooped her head and was told that Jinx had broken the law. She thought it was wrong to commit a crime and knew Jinx would be arrested by the police.

"Nancy, don't worry. We all will protect you."

Neil stroked Nancy's soft hair tenderly.

Nancy rubbed her head against his hands. Then she explained how she ran across Symon when she followed Windy to Adam's school for the parent-teacher meeting.

She had a good memory and could recount so many details of that day.

After listening to Nancy, Shawn analyzed, "After being tracked down several times by us, Symon might have gone to find Nancy out of curiosity. But Nancy accidentally discovered him standing in the rain at that time. Nancy showed him her kindness and innocence. One living a miserable life is sensitive to such pure kindness. Actually, humans and moths are alike. If one walks in the darkness for a long time, he will also move cautiously toward the source of warm light."

"But mentally ill people generally have two possibilities after approaching the light. One is to drag the light into the darkness, and the other is to guard it. I think Symon is doing the latter, but I'm not sure."

Marcus swept Nancy up into his arms with a serious expression on his face.

"No matter what Symon will do, he shouldn't be by Nancy's side."

Symon was like a demon covered in blood and Nancy an ignorant angel. It was not good for them to stay together.

Symon was a killer. Some people killed by him might deserve to die, but some innocent people also lost their lives.

Nancy kept her arms around Marcus' neck and asked, "Is Jinx really a bad guy?"

Marcus patted Nancy on the back clumsily to comfort her. He asked after being silent for a while.

"Do you regret giving him gifts?"

Nancy thought for a few seconds and shook her head, "I don't regret it."

Marcus said softly, "Just be happy."

The sadness on Nancy's face disappeared gradually. She rubbed her head against Marcus' neck.

It was during the New Year Holiday. So they didn't put too much attention on Symon.

Windy called her sons and nephews over and gave each one a red hoodie. There were simple patterns outlined with gold threads on the front.

Marcus held the hoodie but didn't want to wear it.

He stood still, his lips compressed into a thin line. He cast a sharp look on Neil. Marcus didn't go shopping on that day, but he also heard about Neil!

Neil blinked his eyes and met Marcus' gaze innocently. He just wanted to buy more things and thought he did nothing wrong.

Mom came up with this idea, not me, Neil thought angrily.

There were only a few hoodies in the beginning. Windy wanted all his sons and nephews to wear it. So she ordered a few more pieces and said...

"Well, the whole family needs to wear the same clothes."

Well, the same old excuse, Neil thought with resignation.

Louis couldn't hold back his complaints.

"Auntie, why don't you, Uncle James, and my parents wear red hoodies?"

Kate covered her mouth to suppress her smile and then said confidently.

"Hoodies suit young people. We are too old to wear them."

Windy was amused to see her eldest son, Marcus, taking on a sullen look.

Marcus was speechless.
