Chapter 695 - 14.91
"Mom! This is for you!" Hermes gave his gold medal to Gaius, and Gaius accepted it gracefully. He patted Hermes’ head and said;
"Good job, Son. What do you want for a reward? Game? Toys?"
"Ehh... Uncle Reed already gives all of that. I just want you to cook my favorite snack and dinner, Mom!" Hermes said sincerely. He was really content with his current life, not really minding about anything else other than the harmony of his small family, a humble wish for a boy who could get everything he wanted from Uncle Reed.
"Then, tonight will be your feast. I’m not sure about your sister though, she overate. She’s still sleeping in the car right now," Gaius joked.
They returned with the gold medal. Artemis was still sleeping when they entered the car, and then they returned home. Nothing much happened after, but Reed glanced at Gaius a few times. He realized that Gaius was dazed, and he looked sad for some reason.
Of course, Reed knew what made him sad, but he knew there was no use in confronting Gaius about it. Just like what he said before, he was a slave of his own heart.
He couldn’t control his love and longing for Clarke.
’So my only way is to get rid of that pest, and Gaius would stop thinking about him,’ Reed thought. He had developed something that’d absolutely kill Clarke without dirtying his hands.
Well, there would be a lot of collateral damage in the city and probably countless deaths. But he was the master of supervillains. To begin with, it wasn’t really his problem whether there would be a lot of deaths or not.
They arrived home, and Gaius started cooking for the family while Hermes and Reed took a bath. Artemis was still sleeping after she ate too much, so it would only be three of them.
Hermes and Reed ate a lot, especially Hermes because it had been a while since he got his favorite dish, homemade pizza by his Mom, and lots of chips and soda.
