Chapter 246: Iris Finally Meet Xiu
"My distant family member comes from the countryside and is a bit eccentric, so... It’s fine if you keep conversations short and simple with him..." Xavier explained.
Iris was surprised to learn this. It was the first time she had heard of it. Not even Justin or Niles had mentioned anything to her.
"Oh, you have a family living in this lower realm, too?" She asked. Vivid in her memory was the first time she met Xavier; she had initially believed Niles and Justin were his family, only to discover later that they were his sole confidants.
Xavier didn’t respond. He simply nodded as they entered the living room. His gaze fell upon his father, who stood up from his seat with a broad smile, gazing back at them.
’Don’t overdo it, Father. Iris is smart; she can tell if you’re lying,’ Xavier reminded Xiu.
’Son... who do you think I am?’ Xiu responded to Xavier’s warning, slightly shaking his head. ’Did you forget I even erased your memories!? How could you warn me like that?’ After scolding his son, he smiled widely, turning his attention to Iris.
Xavier, "..."
"Hello... You must be Lady Iris, my uncle’s wife," Xiu greeted cheerfully, shocking Xavier and the others present. "No wonder Uncle Xavier never came to my house. Having a beautiful lady like you in his home... makes him lazy to leave the house." He continued, offering his hand with his charming smile.
Iris was taken aback as she gazed at the handsome young man with striking white hair, who introduced himself as Xavier’s nephew. This young man didn’t have a similarity with Xavier; only their eyes had the same eye color. She was looking at him briefly, enough to draw her curiosity to learn more about this man.
