Chapter 710: SURPRISE!

"You don't want to go home?" asked Apple gently. She sat down on the floor next to her little brother.

Jack then answered by shaking his head.

"You don't miss mommy?" Apple felt a little weird about this, since all she knew was; most children of Jack's age would think of and miss their mother when they were away from each other.

However, Jack didn't seem to want to go back to his mother at all.

On the other hand, hearing Apple's question, Jack fell silent.

"I miss her," replied Jack in a very low voice and this allowed Apple to see that there was still that longing left in Jack, after all, he was a child who still needed his parents. "But I like being here, with sister Apple and uncle Pyro."

Apple didn't know how to respond to this, so she just let things flow.

"You want to see mom again?" asked Apple and she saw Jack shaking his head. "Why? Don't you miss mommy?"

"She doesn't miss me," said Jack after a moment of silence.
