Chapter 1273 Tears with the Soul Retrieval Herb’s Sting Bryson pursed his lips and said, “You're so childish! But in that case, I'll take a bite too. Is it really that spicy?” Cloud laughed and said, “Count me in for sure!” Everyone was laughing and joking around. Edward, Jonas, Max, and Gilbert remained. oblivious to the truth.

However, Anthony, Liam, and Bryson already sensed something was amiss.

They instinctively steered the conversation away from the truth without showing signs of a slip-up.

Bettany’s attention was successfully diverted. | could not help but think they still acted so childishly despite growing up.

“There isn’t enough vegetable for each of you! Should | stir-fry more for you? Mr. Pablo brought back quite a lot.” Bettany exclaimed. She seemed to be somewhat exasperated.

Lilly raised her hand and said, “It isn’t necessary!” “Uncle Anthony, you guys don't find the stir-fried version challenging enough, do you? How about a raw eating contest?” The uncles fell silent. They were unsure if Lilly was teasing or genuinely suggesting it.

Jean was the first to agree, “Exactly! If we're going to play, let's go all out. Stir-fried isn’t exciting enough.” Edward chimed in, “Agreed! | am not afraid of a little spice!” Lilly promptly brought out a large bowl of Soul retrieval herb.

Bettany sighed. Thankfully, Soul retrieval herb was incredibly tender, with leaves as large as lettuce but much more delicate.

Edward didn’t hesitate and urged, “Hurry up; is everyone ready?” Everyone had their portion of Soul retrieval herb ready, with Anthony taking a bit more.

Bryson and Liam discreetly grabbed extra as well.

Edward teased, “Hey, you three, aren’t you looking down on us? Adding extra voluntarily?” II [¢) J 13 Lilly was somewhat distracted and said, “I'll start the countdown, okay?” “Ready, Set, Go!” And with that, everyone dove in, but the intense spiciness of the Soul retrieval herb caused them to erupt with coughs and tears.

They all struggled to keep their composure.

Anthony covered his forehead with tears in his eyes to conceal his expression.

Bryson wiped his tears with a tissue and said, “It's really quite spicy. His tears flowed freely, but he couldn't help but laugh because everyone looked somewhat similar.

Liam, who had been quiet all along, wiped his tears silently.

Edward's tears streamed down as he exclaimed, “Wow, it’s really too spicy!” Max insisted, “No, it's not spicy at all! | had already talked big earlier! | must win this round! Gilbert lowered his head and muttered, “A bunch of liars.” Jean was simultaneously crying and laughing. He said, “You all lost! Lilly, let's see who cries last.” Lilly was stunned to see what had happened. She mumbled, “Is it really that spicy? She took a bite and was instantly shocked.

“Wow...” Then, Lilly burst into tears as well.

Josh chimed in quietly, “Hold on, let me time this. Let's see who loses.” With tears in his eyes, Cloud said in a deep voice, “Thank you for helping me cover up this matter.

Bettany handed Cloud some food and said cheerfully, “You just got back and are already fooling around with them. Be careful not to upset your stomach later. Hurry up and eat!” Cloud nodded and said, “Got it! He shoveled a large spoonful of food into his mouth.” Actually, | could not really taste it or know what | was eating anymore. It just felt like a lump in my throat.

After a hearty dinner, it was time for the customary ritual. They continued to chat and eat in the living room. The atmosphere seemed to be heartwarming.

“Ah... is there more? Mom, please spare us!” “Mom, | can’t eat anymore. | really can't!” n r 2/3 “I don’t want it. You guys can have it.” Bettany chuckled and said, “It's New Year, and all this food is meant to be eaten. If you don't eat, King Styx will!” ( King Styx patted his stomach. Exactly! Help me up, and | could probably eat another feast.

“That's right! It's been a while since | celebrated New Year,” the King of Styx reminisced while taking a bite of a pear. “It is so nice!” Margaret and the others cleared the dining table.

On the other hand, Bettany sat down and watched them play around. She sighed. contentedly. Life is good. Everyone is finally reunited. Although Jean wasn't exactly “human,” she had come back. Others might be fearful or superstitious, but | am genuinely delighted about it.

Bettany looked at everyone and felt somehow relieved. Some of them were crouching on the side or doing their tasks on their laptop.

Bettany pondered for a while. My grandchildren might exchange a few playful jabs, but they never fight over things and get along lovingly. Hugh was often exasperating, but at least he was still by my side. What more could | ask for with such a family?
