Chapter 292: Start of Change (2)
Arren’s smile turned stiff and awkward for a moment, then he couldn’t help but finally pinch her squishy cheeks. Ivanna pouted and kicked a fuss, telling Arren not to pinch her cheeks.
He laughed, leaving the conversation unfinished. Of course, his face was recognizable wherever he went. Arren decided that while waiting for Spade, he wouldn’t leave the house, lest he might cause an unexpected problem instead.
Arren had enough evidence to say that he was really a magnet for trouble. Even if he was born reckless, his life was intertwined with many others, and Arren had enough of the suffering during his last two lifetimes.
He sincerely hoped that this life would be different.
After a while, Auntie Mildred approached Arren.
"Here," she handed Arren a paper bag. "There’s still some new clothes in there from when I purchased a lot before. It’s cheap, but I hope it’s fine."
Arren blinked and took the paper bag, clutching it just as he held the phone last night. He might not say another thank you, but his demeanor showed it best.
He would surely repay this favor. It appeared even Auntie Mildred was tired of hearing thank-you from him, so he decided to thank her through his actions.

Even if it was unknown, couldn’t he just overpower them with twice the force he had? One thing that Spade had learned from his previous life and the current mistake he made was that he wasn’t reckless enough.
