บท 540: All Was Lauriel's Fault

"Sorry, we're late." Suddenly Terry's cheerful voice rang from the front door. "Someone is sulking and has run away from home and it took us hours to find her."

He entered while carrying Jean-Marie on his shoulder. The little girl looked sullen. "I already told you I didn't want to go anywhere without my beaaaaaar ..."

"Uh, Little Monkey, we already have 5 dogs at home, okay ..." Terry grumbled. "There is no place for bears."

The serious atmosphere permeating the room immediately dispersed due to Terry's arrival. He was with his younger sister. Nicolae released his hand from Aleksis' grip and hurriedly welcomed his best friend whilst bringing Vega with him.

"Hey ... welcome, Jean-Marie ... Why is your face so sour? Please meet Vega. You can play with the dog while waiting for your bear, okay..." he said kindly.

Terry lowered Jean-Marie so she could meet Vega. Nicolae crouched down in front of the little girl to hug her.
