As soon as his words fell, the others gasped. Did he just say it had utterly dominated him? He must be kidding!

body, and he started vomiting blood again. That huge hand seriously injured me, and it even damaged my life

woman. In my opinion, I think Lacey's background is a lot more complicated than we first thought.”

ordinary. That way, we can live like ordinary people. However, I'm the Great Marshal. There's no way I'll ever live a
normal life.

replied.

Zeke lifted Nelly into his arms and smiled. “Nelly, have you been a good girl?”
Nelly nodded. “Daddy, I've been good. I even helped Grandma with household chores.”
Zeke smiled. “Have you been helping around? Good girl! You're all grown up now, Nelly.”
Hannah stood up and said, “Zeke, have you eaten? I'll make food for you.”
“Thank you, Mom.”
While walking away, Hannah mumbled to herself, “This boy... Why is he still so polite? What's there to thank me
for?”
