You call this the mastermind?

People can indeed change their temperament after being strongly stimulated.

But it is really unusual for someone like Alyssa to change so quickly and obviously.

When she met Mrs. Chelsea in the evening, she cast a look at Mellen.

She seemed to be asking why her daughter suddenly became so "cheerful"?

Mellen, who was sitting opposite her, blinked and said nothing.

But her eyes could not help but glance at the teacher's belly.

It was covered with a finely spun black cloth with a tight waist. Of course, nothing could be seen there, but the lady unconsciously stretched out her hand to cover it, as if she was very sensitive about it.

However, the "eye-to-eye" situation between the two was interrupted as soon as it appeared.

"This table is really small."

The slender blonde girl was sitting next to the two at this time.

After raising her hand and touching the exquisite square small dining table covered with a neat tablecloth in front of her, she looked up at Mrs. Chelsea.

"But I think it's much better than the one we usually use, Mom."

"Your grandmother likes small ones."

Mrs. Chelsea replied in a light tone.

"When she was alive, most of the manor was vacant, and we only lived in a small house."

The lady obviously had doubts about her daughter's current attitude.

But when facing her daughter, she usually put on an elder's attitude.

However, thinking of Alyssa's previous claim that she saw the "rescue" process, Mellen's eyes became very strange when she looked at the teacher.

Mrs. Chelsea was unaware of this.

Sitting opposite Mellen, she looked dignified and calm at the moment, her words and deeds were elegant and measured, and she had the demeanor of a mature mother. There was no sign that she had ever done such "dirty" things to her students.

"It's nice to experience the small style occasionally, but if it's all like this every day, it's actually very inconvenient."

"Then can we eat here all the time before school starts, mom?"

The girl asked.

Her voice was not loud, but it was full of a sense of coquetry, which made Mrs. Chelsea unconsciously startled, and then nodded and said, "Okay."

Then she turned to look at Mellen.

"About your leaving the manor, I-"

"Leaving the manor?"

Alyssa suddenly interrupted her mother, looking surprised, "Why did he leave the manor?"

"Of course it's because your father has something to do."

The lady said: "He has been very busy these years, and you should have heard those special noises before."

Since it has been done to let Mellen pretend to be the girl's father, it can't be exposed again.

So why Mellen wants to mix with a group of "juniors" as Egg has become a matter that needs to be explained.

At the same time, although raising this topic will destroy the current harmonious atmosphere, the girl's reaction to it can be observed-her current attitude is really abnormal, and Mrs. Chelsea urgently needs to understand what's going on.

However, to her surprise, after this sentence, the girl's face did not show any doubts or even anger. Instead, she glanced at Mellen and said in a low tone.

"What is so busy? It's hard to get together, can't we wait until school starts..."

Is this like longing for family affection?

The lady raised her eyebrows when she saw this, but she felt that it was unlikely to be the case.

However, before she could say anything else, the black-haired boy who had been silently peeling a shrimp with cutlery suddenly spoke up.

"Then stay until the start of school. Although there are some urgent matters, if you think about it carefully, it is not important."

This made the depressed girl's face bloom with a smile again.

Mrs. Chelsea glanced at Mellen and said nothing more.

So the tone of this dinner was roughly set.

The introverted blonde girl has now become the most active person at the table, constantly asking various questions to her mother.

Occasionally, she will focus on Mellen, who is much quieter than usual.

But the remarks involved are basically related to Mrs. Chelsea - she seems to be trying to match her mother with Mellen.

Mellen had already discovered this attitude before.

Because if it weren't for this, the girl wouldn't have to run to him to expose the lady's "lie", let alone take the initiative to propose that the three of them get together for dinner...

Did she know something?

Or was she going to do something?

Mellen was puzzled.

This doubt even dispelled his previous joy because he knew a certain truth.

However, he did not say anything about it. Except for answering one or two words when he was asked about himself, he was mostly observing.

Time passed quickly.

The light in the milky white restaurant, which was obviously carefully decorated, was bright. Three people sat around the square table and ate dinner slowly.

The two blond ladies, one big and one small, asked questions frequently and the other patiently answered. They looked like a pair of sisters with a certain age gap rather than mother and daughter.

Melen, who was sitting next to him, was like a taciturn brother - he had a young face and looked even younger than Alyssa.

At least Alyssa said jokingly that it would be nice if Melen was her brother.

This was also the most outrageous sentence she said during this dinner.

Apart from that, the girl behaved exactly like a daughter should.

"But she never called you dad."

After dinner, Mrs. Chelsea pulled Mellen into her study, her usual hoarse voice full of seriousness.

"What do you think she is thinking?"

Blood relationship does not represent family affection. If there is no emotional foundation, the girl certainly will not call Mellen dad casually.

But looking at her previous behavior, it seems that she has recognized the identity of Mellen's father.

However, Mellen actually said some tentative words during the period, but was avoided by the other party.

This seems very wrong.

"Not sure, but at least she has consciously avoided suspicion."

Sitting in the old seat, Mellen pondered and said: "When we met in the afternoon, she even knew to take the initiative to resolve some misunderstandings."

The resentment that is suppressed in the heart is called resentment. Being able to speak it out frankly has proved that the girl will no longer be obsessed with something that has happened.

Cooperating with her previous act of burning books, she is really decisive.

But even if this biological father buff is destined to be so effective, it is impossible to play so quickly.

So something must have happened that the two of them didn't know about.

"If she was just an ordinary girl, I would even suspect that she couldn't stand the blow and wanted to commit suicide."

Mellen said: "But as your daughter, she shouldn't be so fragile."

He said this to remind the teacher in disguise that this possibility could not be ruled out.

After all, a large number of young people are not very mature in their thinking, and it is very easy for them to get stuck in a dead end and then do some extreme behaviors.

In fact, it is not just young people. This kind of situation of getting stuck in a dead end cannot be avoided by many middle-aged and elderly people.

As a modern time traveler, Mellen is well-informed about this.

"She will never commit suicide because of this."

Mrs. Chelsea is very sure about this, "Alyssa is very introverted, but not world-weary. She may escape from some things, but she will definitely not pay the price of her life."

"If it is not due to her inner character, it is very likely to be affected by external circumstances."

Mellen turned and said: "For example, her bloodline?"

Judging from some previous things, the girl's bloodline does affect her temperament.

But this influence only made her more "extreme", but she never showed any signs of becoming more "sensible" or even more mature.

Mrs. Chelsea frowned.

"I don't rule out this possibility, but I always feel that things won't be like this."

What could it be like?

Mellen hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "Maybe you should talk about Alyssa's bloodline, what's going on?"
