Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1359 Dad's Sister

Hayata looked suspicious, "What lie?"

"Nothing!" Gordon quickly lied, "We followed the fishing fleet for a few days, and then we ran into the guild support team's boat.

You know what? Not only Nadia, but Julius, the Master, and the Professor are all here! "

This news successfully diverted Hayata's attention.

Under Nadia's angry and amused gaze, Gordon quickly recounted the story of their meeting.

It emphasized that he and Ansel did not indulge in the vacation, but decisively took the clipper back to Star, and took the initiative to withdraw from the meeting and go home as soon as possible.

These are certainly true.

Anhil and Jessica both showed an expression of "you learned it".

Hayata wasn't a very "difficult" person, she was just angry because Gordon left without saying a word.

After listening to Gordon's explanation, she put the matter behind her and turned to talk to her good friend Natia about each other's recent situation.

Gordon was able to breathe a sigh of relief, as he had finally managed to fool the situation temporarily.

On the other hand, Gale, who is usually carefree, was unusually reserved.

This was her first meeting with Jessica.

In Ansel's description, Jessica is cold, strong, shrewd, and a businessman among businessmen.

Mrs. Sterling described her daughter as a perfect woman who was smart, responsible, good at everything, and could further develop the family business and was more capable than anyone else.

With the fusion of the two, in Gail's imagination, Jessica was the terrifying queen who sat on the throne, flipping through the account book in one hand and holding the golden jewel scepter in the other.

The heads of chambers of commerce from all over the country lined up, bent over, and came to her one by one to report on their work.

Those who have poor performance, are corrupt, or are ugly and unpleasant to the eye will have their heads smashed with a scepter.

It’s the feeling of “someone come, drag him away, next one”.

Jessica was also curious about her sister-in-law and was looking at her with interest.

Her appearance and figure can be considered quite good, but her fashion sense does not seem to be very good and her clothing combination is a bit casual, but this is not a shortcoming.

It seems that her mother is quite close to her. She can still chat and laugh with her mother even when dressed like this, which means that her mother really likes her.

As the eldest sister who is nearly ten years older than Ansel, she had of course investigated the women around Ansel since the latter could speak.

When Anxiel was still in the hunter training camp, she had an impression of the name "Gail". Did they seem to have a bad relationship at that time? But that was normal. The relationship between boys and girls was hard to say.

When she sent a gift to Fu Fu, she also stated in the letter that Gail could make any request and the Chamber of Commerce would meet it.

There is also a bit of temptation in this.

Asking for things over and over again represents greed, politely refusing represents cleverness, and making requests indirectly represents shrewdness.

But from what Anshil said, she seemed to have forgotten about it.

Does this mean that the brain is not working well?

All in all, I'm quite satisfied with it overall.

Jessica gave Gail a less-than-stylized smile and walked toward her.

Gale's expression froze.

Fortunately, Jessica was not as aggressive as she imagined, and she did not take out a golden scepter to hit her with a hammer.

Instead, he acted quite friendly, actively looking for topics to talk to her, and his attitude was sincere, without the airs of a business tycoon that she had imagined.

What are you afraid of?

Having let go of his psychological burden, Gail immediately began to let himself go. After a few words, he started to talk to his sister in a hug.

This name made her feel a little strange and nostalgic.

After Anshil turned ten, he no longer called her "sister" and usually addressed her by her name.

She probably knew why her mother liked this girl.

The communication between nobles and merchants is full of rules and calculations. They have long been accustomed to all of this and call it "social etiquette."

This sense of distance is difficult to avoid even among family members.

One meter apart is the basic safety distance, but Gale completely ignored it and rushed in headfirst.

When they first met, she was a little surprised by her mother's warm gesture of hugging her. It turned out that she had "contagious" it from there.

Just as she was thinking about savoring the title of "sister" a little more, Jessica suddenly felt her legs being hugged.

Looking down, she was surprised to find that the person hugging her legs was her little niece Fu Fu, whom she had been curious about for several years.

For Jessica, who has focused all her energy on her career and has never considered finding a partner, let alone raising children, this feeling of blood connection is so novel.

"Sister, are you dad's sister?" Fu Fu raised her head and asked her with shining eyes.

Although the name sounded confusing, Jessica didn't care and bent down a little.

Maybe it would be best to pick up the child at this time? But she had never held a child before and was not brave enough to do so, so she patted Fu Fu's head instead.

"Yes, I am your aunt."

“Gum.” Fufu repeated this word she had never heard before, and found it a little difficult to pronounce. She blinked and asked, “Can I call you sister?

Mom said that as long as a lady is older than you, you can call her sister! "

"Uh." Jessica didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Gail, who has been claiming to be a sister randomly all the time and has caused Fu Fu to have a very confused concept of seniority, is sweating profusely.

She pulled Fu Fu's cheek and said, "Just call me aunt if I ask you to! Or you can call me auntie or auntie!"

In order to prevent Fu Fu from continuing to struggle with the issue of address and exposing her educational mistakes, Gail picked up Fu Fu and asked Jessica.

"No, sister, do you want to hold her? She's just a little heavy!"

Jessica was still a little dazed when Fu Fu was stuffed into her arms.

She hurriedly gathered her arms and tried to hug Fu Fu's waist, but this method was obviously wrong. Fu Fu seemed to be hanging on her and kept sliding down.

It was only with Mrs. Sterling's guidance that she realized that when holding a child, one should support the child's buttocks with the elbow of the arm, and she finally managed to hold the child steadily.

It is indeed heavy.

Fu Fu also hugged her neck and kissed her on the face.

Because she heard from her mother that the various small toys, small accessories, and small skirts that were delivered every once in a while were all sent by her father's sister.

Jessica was stunned again. This was another completely new experience.

In an instant, a very dangerous thought popped into her mind.

——Secretly bring this child back to the Old World and raise him as his own. As for Ansel and the others, they are still young, so just have another child.

But the calmness she had developed over the years in charge of the Chamber of Commerce made her sober up immediately. After holding her little niece in an unskilled manner and being intimate with her for a while, Jessica returned Fu Fu to her mother.

Another question that I rarely think about comes to mind.

I am now in my prime, and there will be no problem for me to be in charge of the Chamber of Commerce within the next 20 to 30 years, but what about after that?
Who is the heir?
There is definitely no hope for Anshil, and I have no plans to get married and raise children. After looking around, it seems that only this little guy is suitable?
Jessica narrowed her eyes slightly.

After all, they grew up together, and Ansher came over and could tell at a glance that his elder sister was planning something.

"What evil ideas are you planning again?"

"That's a very rude thing to say. I was just thinking."

"Thinking about what?" Ansel asked bluntly, breaking Jessica's ambiguity.

He could probably guess some of it.

Jessica withdrew her gaze from Fu Fu and said with a smile, “You don’t have to be so wary of me. I won’t take the child away from you.

However, Fu Fu is almost five years old and she cannot neglect her education in all aspects.

I plan to invest personally and be responsible for opening up a series of connections to recruit several outstanding teachers to come to the New World to provide enlightenment education for the children of the investigation team.

As for the rest of their lives, it is up to them to choose. You shouldn't object to this, right?"

"." The corners of Ansel's mouth twitched violently.

Children born in big cities will yearn for freedom and the vast mountains and fields, while children born in the wilderness will yearn for the hustle and bustle of big cities.

This is an almost unstoppable conspiracy.

In a few years, when Fufu reaches a rebellious age, she will almost certainly be tricked back to Dondoruma by her.
