In the next second, Hudson’s gloomy eyes suddenly lit up with clarity.

Anna and Yvonne watched in mild disbelief as the boy who had looked so guarded and distant just a moment ago suddenly seemed…. gentler. As if something had jolted him back to life.

His expression didn’t really change, but his mouth kept chewing like a little machine–it was oddly funny to watch.

Whatever it was, Yvonne adored it.

Hudson obediently grabbed his jacket and dragged his chair over to where the two girls were sitting.

All that earlier gloom and talk of curses? Gone in an instant.

Once he was seated, Anna spoke seriously.

Yvonne nodded firmly beside her. She wasn’t as good as Anna at explaining things, but she had a strong grasp of key phrases.

“Yeah! They’ll call your parents too.”
