Roger picked up the slightly cool coffee from the table, took a gentle sip, and then carefully observed Adeline’s expression.

Underneath the calmness was hidden rage, within which concern lurked…

Forget it, her expression was too complicated. Roger decided not to analyze it further and sat upright, awaiting the outcome.

“So you mean to say…”

“You and Amanda, you both are…”

“Yes,” Roger nodded.

“I knew it.” Adeline let out a breath.

“You knew?” Roger looked puzzled.

“I had a hunch, just didn’t think it would be like this.”

Adeline’s expression was complex.

While leading Green to the island, Roger had left a backup in Baytown.

Henrik and Claudia.

After a while, Henrik hadn’t changed much, just a bit paler and leaner in appearance.

But Claudia had changed significantly, her facial expressions more vivid, closer to that of a pure human. It was she who had disguised as Adeline and caught the attention of the Blood Descendants.

But Roger knew that it would be difficult to continue deceiving them, so upon his return, he selectively shared what had happened to him and Amanda.

Even though he omitted the dangerous parts, just describing himself and Amanda as ordinary students who’d come into contact with the Transcendent World.

But Adeline’s sensitivity allowed her to guess some of it nonetheless.

Like Amanda’s disappearance a few months ago.

“I need some quiet.”

Adeline stood up, took a deep breath, and looked at Roger with a complex expression in her eyes.

“Give me some time.”

With that, she went straight upstairs.

“Adeline.”

Roger spoke up.

“I want to tell you, no matter what happens, I am still the Roger you saved from the island.”

Adeline paused, her shoulders trembling slightly, she nodded and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Roger had no better way to deal with this; to Adeline, who was just an ordinary person, it was impossible to accept such things immediately–perhaps all she needed was time.

He pushed open the door and saw the sun slanting westward, Roger let out a breath, dispelling the heaviness in his heart.

“There’s still a bit of a tail end left.”

This was almost the most relaxed he had been since arriving in this world.

“How’s it going?”

Henrik came over from the other side of the porch.

“Not good, not bad,” Roger replied.

“That’s already good news,” Henrik shrugged his shoulders, “Honestly, I didn’t expect so much to have happened in such a short time I was away.”

“It seems like I missed quite an exciting journey.”

“I’ve also discovered a problem…” Henrik said with a mischievous smile.

“The number of women around you seems to have increased a lot.”

“Like that woman Tamara, I always feel like her gaze at me is a bit strange.”

Henrik said shamelessly, followed by a sigh, “Too bad, I’m not the man I used to be.”

“For the current me, having Claudia is enough.”

Roger looked straight ahead, “I believe you, of course, I do.”

“But next time, maybe stand up when you say such things.”

Henrik’s expression stiffened.

“Roger, what do you mean, huh? How come I can’t stand up?!”

“Don’t overthink it, I’m not trying to provoke you, just stating a fact.”

Ignoring Henrik’s protests behind him, Roger walked away.

The setting sun’s light filtered through the gaps in the leaves, tinting the valley’s bushes with a reddish hue.

Stepping on the soft ground, he passed through the familiar brush and stood on the mountaintop, looking down.

A few months ago, this was where he traveled back and forth every day.

The first encounter with a wild wolf, the first kill, the first body buried, and…

His gaze shifted down, and Roger saw a familiar figure.

The glow of the sunset gilded the hem of Anna’s skirt with a special color; she stood there quietly, as she had long ago.

Roger slowly walked down.

“What are you thinking about?”

Anna turned her head, the sunlight illuminating her face, adding a lot more warmth to her at that moment.

“Thinking about the first time we met.”

She couldn’t help but smile: “Honestly, if it weren’t for the body you buried back then, many things that followed probably wouldn’t have happened.”

“Maybe that’s fate’s arrangement?” Roger joked with a smile.

But Anna nodded seriously, repeating the phrase.

“Yes, that’s fate’s arrangement.”

“Uh…”

Seeing Anna so serious, Roger didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Anna smiled gently; she always had an aura that kept others at a distance, but her sudden smile naturally brought out much beauty.

Leaning back, Anna sat against a large tree.

“Do you remember our promise?”

“Promise?”

Roger looked up at the sunset and at Anna, now tinged red by the halo of light.

“Of course.”

He shrugged.

“The only disappointment is that I didn’t prepare a bottle of red wine in advance.”

Once upon a time, they had hoped for a time when they could share a drink together.

“No.” Anna revealed a mysterious smile.

She extended her hand, and beside the big tree, a small table appeared.

Then a transparent tray.

Two glasses and a bottle of wine.

“I almost forgot, you have the Magic Mirror…”
