บท 106: His Ghost Wife Was a Skilled Stone-Thrower

Once dinner ended, Calix quickly made his escape. He refused to mingle with his relatives until late at night, not when he had had enough of them for today. He sneaked out from the group when everyone walked down the hallway.

Calix made his way to the backyard, wishing to get some fresh air before heading to the bedroom. Along the way, he spotted Gerard and a few of his distant relatives.

"Urgh... What bad luck. I don't want to see him," complained Calix under his breath.

Gerard arrived before tea time. Calix didn't mind it at all. He pretended not to see the annoying man when they crossed paths earlier today, unwilling to hear Gerard's snarky remarks.

That guy was as insufferable as ever.

Gerard was too deep into his jealousy to see that his abilities were minuscules compared to Calix's. Everyone in the huge Xu family knew about it, including Gerard's parents who always scolded him.
