Chương 427: Big Brother

Archer nodded in response to Hecate's instructions, and he gently held Stella's hand as they walked down the street. However, the little girl gazed up at him with big blue eyes, silently requesting to be picked up, and he obliged.

When he lifted her into his arms, Stella let out a joyful laugh and then surprised him with a question. ''Why are you married already? You are still young.''

Archer found himself unable to suppress a chuckle in response to the innocence of her question, then replied, ''Well, we're not married at the moment. We're only engaged.''

Stella nodded as she looked around while being held as they were walking down the snow-covered Market Street. They soon arrived at the first shop they needed to go to. When Stella saw this, she looked at Archer. ''This is a noble shop, mister. Why are we here?''

He looked at the little lady before replying. ''Call me Archer, Arch, or Big Brother, but not Mister. Makes me feel old.''
