Jensen slightly frowned when he saw Peter. “You’re here too.”

Peter smiled inexplicably and said naturally, “I’ll have a meal with Uncle Adrien every Christmas Eve. Why? Don’t you know it?” He slightly curled his lips, showing a little of his devilish side. novelbin

Jensen stayed quiet and just sat down at the dining table. His face did not look well. He said to Adrien, “Why did you call me here?”

Adrien straightened up and said, “Dinner first. Today is the Advent. Let’s have a good meal together.”

Jensen sneered. Adrien’s words somehow seemed ridiculous and ironic to him. He stood up and said, “I’ve eaten. I’m going back if there’s nothing else.”

“Stop!” Adrien’s face darkened. He tugged on his tie irritably and said coldly to Jensen, “I just want you to have a meal with me. Is it that difficult?”

“Someone is here eating with you,” Jensen snickered and glanced at Peter.

Peter was puzzled. “Isn’t it just a meal? Why do you need to make it so complicated?”

Suddenly, all the good mood for the meal was gone.

The vibe in their private room was depressed and tight, while others were having a joyful Advent.

Peter could no longer tolerate it as he flicked the ashes between his fingers, stood up, and said to Jensen, “I know I’m unpleasing to your eyes. Well, I’ll leave. You can have a good dinner with Uncle Adrien.”

Peter was not hungry at all. He would rather go to find

Jolina instead of having dinner here if he had the time to spare.

“Come back!”

Unexpectedly, Adrien stopped Peter suddenly when he had just taken two steps toward the door. Adrien watched him grow up, often teaching him to read and write when he was younger. So, he still respected Adrien and stopped walking when Adrien called him.

“Sit down and have dinner with me.” Adrien waved at him. He was not saying it in a commanding tone but with a touch of kindness.

Jensen sneered again, “I won’t be bothering you anymore. Enjoy your dinner.”

Peter was speechless.

‘Is Jensen crazy? Isn’t it just a meal? Why does he have to be jealous?‘

Suddenly, Jensen remembered what happened in Kerrona Hill when he was about to leave. After hesitating for a few seconds, he still asked Adrien, “How do you plan to deal with Gilbert next?”

“Get out of here if you’re not eating. Stop asking around.

Adrien was holding back his anger. He could not help but yell at him immediately when hearing Jensen’s question.

Jensen did not bother to ask. He turned around and left without giving a single goodbye.

Adrien was furious. He threw the napkin on the table irritably and lost all his appetite.

With doubt in his heart, Peter glanced at Adrien and asked, “Uncle Adrien, what is your relationship with Jensen?”

‘I only know Jensen used to work under Uncle Adrien. But

I discovered at Kerrona Hill that their relationship wasn’t simply superior–subordinate.‘

Adrien lit a cigarette and leaned back on the chair. The anger on his face had subsided a lot. He stared at the slammed private room door and said casually, “We are not… related.”

Anthony hurried over as soon as Jensen left.

“Mr. Tanner, the people under Gilbert are investigating the whereabouts of the jailer back then. Aren’t you planning to deal with them?”

Peter looked at both of them inexplicably. He could not understand what they were talking about.

Adrien was smoking a cigarette casually with an expression that he was in control of everything. “Let him investigate. The sooner he gets the result, the better.”

Anthony raised his eyebrows. “Why? Mr. Tanner, do you have a plan?”

Adrien remained silent for a while before smiling unfathomably.
