Chapter 291 He Was Happy and Had a Few More Drinks


Seeing Aurora's guilty expression, Cormac affectionately ruffled her hair and spoke in a comforting tone, saying, "No, they always like to argue. Come on, let's go in and eat."

Cormac took Aurora's hand and led her inside.

Once seated in the private room, everyone except Caspian wore smiles on their faces. Elisa leaned in close to Caspian's ear and said, "Caspian, don't be upset. Harry is probably just wearing height-increasing shoes. You two are actually the same height."

Despite Elisa speaking softly, Harry caught her words. He gave Elisa a disdainful look and said, "Don't lie to comfort Caspian, Elisa. The fact is, I am taller than him."

Harry then turned to Aurora with a smile and said, "Aurora, these two always gang up on me. From now on, let's play together. The big genius should hang out with the little genius."

"I was the first place winner in the global math competition. You don't deserve to talk about being a genius in front of me!" Caspian retorted immediately.

"Oh, right. Did your brain grow at the expense of your stature?" Harry mocked.

"Rook Storm!" Caspian was furious and ready to hit him, but Harry quickly hid behind Alaric and shouted, "Daddy, Caspian wants to hit me!"

"Enough. It's a miracle if you two don't argue for a minute." Alaric ordered, "Sit down, and no more arguing."

Harry sat down. Although Caspian still looked upset, he also remained quiet.

Stellan gave an awkward smile and explained to Cormac and Aurora, "They argue like this every day. They can't go a day without it."

"That's great. It shows they are close," Aurora said, genuinely envious of such a family atmosphere. But as soon as she finished speaking, Caspian and Harry almost simultaneously said, "We do not have a good relationship!" "See, you two are in sync right now," Aurora giggled.

Caspian and Harry were both very reluctant to admit it.
