'What? Harold?'

The corner of Simon's mouth twitched when he heard Harold speaking.

"What brings you here?" Simon asked.

Harold replied with a smile, "My dear nephew, why bothers you to ask? This is my house, so I'm supposed to be here."

Right, it's Audrey's house. As her brother, it was quite normal that Harold was here.

Audrey and Bryson had already changed their shoes and walked in.

Harold took out a pair of slippers that were prepared for Simon.

"You ... Why are you at home now?"

Harold shrugged and said, "I'm on summer vacation now, and I don't have any school work. So, where else should I stay?"

Simon was speechless.

Harold was right.

But this wasn't what Simon wanted. He thought that if Audrey and Bryson went out, he could stay at Audrey's house and wait for her to get off work. He didn't expect that Harold was at home.

"Nephew Simon, you come at the right time. I went to the library yesterday and joined an event. They gave me a two-meter-long puzzle. Let's do it together!"

Simon was panicked when he noticed the countless puzzle pieces scattered over the floor, as tiny as thumbnails.

'If I finished the puzzle, I would lose both of my eyes. And... who would want to play such a stupid game?' Simon thought.

What's worse, if he was in the same room with Harold and let Harold call him nephew, it would be a nightmare for Simon. So, the only thing Simon wanted was to escape.

Anyway, he already knew Audrey's address, so Simon didn't have to throw himself under the bus.

"Well, I remembered I had a date with my classmate. So, I have to go."
