Chapter 476 Audrey's Resident
When asked about who Arthur was, the grown-up Audrey rolled her eyes, seemingly at a loss as to how to answer.
She looked at Arthur, as if to ask his opinion or ask him to answer.
Of course, there was no way Arthur could say that her mother was the little girl who once invited him to do strange things.
Seeing the two silent, the girl suddenly said again, "Mom, is he your boyfriend?"
Hearing her words, Audrey almost coughed, looking at her naive daughter like she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
When she was young, she did sometimes speak her mind.
However, ever since she took the helm of her family's company, she had always cultivated the demeanor of a lady who was elegant, honorable, polite, and authoritative.
She always speaks with words that won't make her look bad.
She is no longer a bad girl who doesn't care about modesty.
Of course, from her point of view now, she felt Arthur was a very attractive man. Plus, she was sure he was a very powerful Magus.
She and her daughter were assured of having a safe life if they were by Arthur's side.
"Maybe you should ask him," Audrey replied suddenly.
When thinking of Arthur, she spontaneously said that.
The words were not obnoxious, allowing her to avoid the question while finding out Arthur's thoughts.
Apparently, the girl directly asked Arthur, "Uncle, are you my mother's boyfriend?"
Arthur didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Audrey at the girl's age was completely out of control, but her daughter was so naive and innocent. Arthur suspected that Audrey was educating her very thoroughly, not letting a single piece of bad information enter her ears.
"Girl, why are you asking that?" asked Arthur in response.
"Just curious, mom has been alone for a long time, she should have a boyfriend and get married," the girl replied.
Audrey looked like she wanted to cough at her daughter's words.
In the end, she grabbed her hand, as if signaling her not to speak anymore.
Apparently the girl was very obedient to her mother.
She completely stopped talking when Audrey asked her to.
Only, there was no other topic when the girl stopped talking. Audrey couldn't help but look at Arthur doubtfully.
"Are you going to see the President?" she asked as she remembered Arthur's identity and background.
Arthur stared at the large screen, seemingly thinking before answering, "I think I'll postpone it for now."
Isabel was probably the person he wanted to meet the most right now, but he knew that he needed to give her an explanation. Therefore, he needed to get ready first.
He thought he would relax somewhere else first.
After hearing Arthur's answer, Audrey's eyes seemed to light up for a moment.
"Then where are you going? I'm afraid your old residence is unusable, how about you come to our house? Our house happens to be too big for two people," she said.
He was already too powerful that he could decide whether someone was talented or not.
Helping this old acquaintance was something he didn't mind since it only took a small gesture.
Audrey's mouth opened slightly at Arthur's words.
She was touched but at a loss as to how to respond.
"You'd better help my daughter," she said, looking regretful that the favor was for her.
She naturally did not dare to ask again.
However, her words made Arthur laugh.
"I will definitely help your daughter, but as far as my current observation goes, she just needs to keep practicing. Her future will be great even without my help," he said.
"Is that true?" Audrey looked very happy that Arthur said her daughter's future was extraordinary.
Although she often heard that from powerful magus, hearing it from Arthur was a different story because Arthur's standards and those of other magus must be different.
"Yeah," Arthur replied.
Not long after, the car landed in the courtyard of a huge mansion.
To say that it was too big for two people was definitely wrong, it was too big for even a hundred people.
Even at first glance it looked like a palace with four floors where each floor was wider than a football field.
In its courtyard were many beasts that seemed to have been tamed, guarding the house from intruders.
Arthur saw no humans other than the beasts. Even the servants were robots.
The car door opened and Audrey got out, waiting for Arthur to get out.
When Arthur got off, she said, "We really only have the two of us in this house. It's easier now that we can use robots as servants and tamed beasts as guards. Even the famous Magus can't infiltrate easily."
"Don't you feel lonely?" asked Arthur in response.
"Not as long as I have my daughter by my side," Audrey replied with a faint smile.
"Come on in!" She then invited Arthur to enter the mansion.
Either the beasts or the robots saluted Audrey as she walked into the mansion.
They were observing Arthur, even ready to react if something went wrong.
However, since Arthur came with Audrey, they remained silent.
At this time, the sky slowly darkened and snow began to fall, making the atmosphere rather cold.
Apparently it was the beginning of the snow season.
Quickly, Arthur and Audrey arrived inside the mansion.
The living room was really luxurious. Arthur thought that humans had now reached the pinnacle of prosperity.
"Would you like to eat or drink?" Audrey asked Arthur, inviting him to sit on the sofa.
"I will prepare food for you," she added.
"I think I'll just have a fresh drink and some fruit," Arthur replied, not rejecting Audrey's offer, but not asking for a meal that required her to cook.
Audrey nodded, asking him to wait before walking into the kitchen, leaving Arthur and her daughter on the couch.
