"Young master!!!" Liana's voice rang from a distance.
Javier turned his head and saw Liana and Gloria rushing toward him, their steps quick, skirts brushing the grass. Behind them, Pikko and Peanut trotted, feathers puffed with pride.
Inside Javier's mind, he sighed.
Ah… looks like they found me. Of course. Pikko and Peanut can track Buddy, and Buddy will always track me. Figures…
Still, he smiled faintly, tilting his head. "Liana… Gloria." His voice was smooth, his smile effortlessly charming.
"Where have you been!!!" Liana scolded, her eyes sharp, hands clenched against her waist.
"Ah, just taking a night breeze. Ehehe…" Javier replied, scratching his cheek lazily.
"Not funny!!!" Gloria raised her voice this time, her usual calm tone breaking.
"Wha? Hey, hey, chill, both of you." Javier lifted his hands in mock defense, smirking.
"It's not like I went sneaking out or anything.."
"Young master!!!" Liana's eyes softened but her voice trembled with frustration.
