There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

"Well, the next thing is to tell mom."

After taking care of her appearance, Talina took a deep breath and began to pack her clothes.

The sooner you prepare to leave, the better.

Knock knock~

However, as if it was an appointment, just as Talina took out her suitcase, the same knock on the door sounded again.

"Nah! I'm not hungry now!"

Pouting, Talina shouted in dissatisfaction.

It seems like I should have a good talk with this Lavishini!

After responding, Talina didn't waste any more time on this matter and continued to pack her clothes.

Click~

The door handle was gently pressed, and Russell appeared at the door. He walked in quietly, stood behind Talina, and watched her movements quietly.

Lavishini stood outside the door, sticking her head out to see what was happening inside. She wanted to speak but didn't dare to move because of Russell's power.

"Phew! There's only one thing left!"

After folding the spare clothes and putting them in the suitcase, Talina closed the zipper, stood up and turned to the back.

Russell, who was standing behind, saw this and took away his hands that were folded in front of his lower abdomen to prevent the jewelry on them from hitting Talina.

And just as she expected, Talina fell straight into her arms.

"Ugh! Pull... Mom?!!"

Tarina bumped into someone and thought it was Lavshini who was causing trouble. Just as she was about to teach her a lesson, she saw that the person standing in front of her seemed to be a little bigger than she thought...?

Russell's eyes passed Talina and went straight to the suitcase behind Talina.

Knowing that she could no longer hide it, Talina simply stopped hiding it and stepped aside so that Russell could see more clearly.

"When did you come?"

With her hands behind her back, Talina stood aside, lowering her head and speaking in a soft voice.

"I just arrived a short time ago. Are you planning to go on a 'travel' again?"

Looking at Talina, Russell changed his words to a slightly more euphemistic one.

"Well..."

Caught red-handed, Tarina didn't know how to answer, and guilt filled her heart.

"Hey, come with me first."

Shaking his head, Russell sighed and turned to walk out the door.

Volume 4: Chapter 69: Letting Go

Slowly moving her legs, Talina followed Russell down the stairs. When passing by Lavishini, Talina gave her a look for help.

Frightened by Russell's power, facing Talina who wanted to pull her out of the sea of ​​suffering, Lavishini shook her head and rejected Talina.

joke!

Someone is teaching his own daughter a lesson, why should she, an outsider, interfere?

Don’t let the angry Russell drag you over and teach you a lesson!

Russell definitely wouldn't mind pruning her little sapling.

Squatting upstairs, Lavshini rested her face on the guardrail in the middle of the handrail, looking at the mother and daughter below.

"sit down."

After arriving in the living room, Russell sat down first, raised his hand and pointed to the seat next to him, indicating Talina to sit down as well.

Taking small steps, Talina crawled towards Russell at the speed of an earthworm.

After Talina sat down, Russell naturally reached out his hand and stroked Talina's head, looking kindly at the girl who had been with her for half her life.

"Huh! You've grown up."

Sighing, Russell ruffled Talina's combed hair, causing Talina to shake it in dissatisfaction.

"how old are you?"

Pulling his hand back, Russell asked Talina.

"Ugh! You're 21, stop touching Mom!"

Covering her head in dissatisfaction, Talina didn't know why Russell asked this question.

"21 already?"

Hearing this number, Russell was dazed for a moment, but he quickly recovered and didn't let Talina see the flaw.

"When you first came here, you seemed to be just over ten years old? Twelve? Or thirteen?"

"It seems to be twelve..."

Counting on her fingers, Talina calculated the days since she came to this family, but because the time was too long ago, after counting for a long time, Talina could only get a vague answer.

"Twenty-one minus twelve...almost ten years...has it been that long?"

"When you first arrived, you were quite short. If it weren't for Patsy's record of you, and the fact that you were of different races, I would have thought you were her illegitimate child."

After gesturing with his hands, Russell's face was full of happy smiles.

She never married in her life, but raised two children. Talina and Viviana can be said to have been with her throughout the second half of her life, preventing her from being so lonely.

But precisely because she was not married, she naturally had no experience in education, so she could only follow the method she used to lead the troops and improve it to use it to raise children.

But this is still a method of training soldiers, which is a bit too cruel for children. This is why Russell later adopted a free-range approach towards Talina.

Unlike the strictly disciplined Viviana, Talina was born to be more free.

Whatever you want, buy it!

Buy whatever you want to eat!

In order to make up for his debt to Viviana, Russell returned all these things.

It just fell on Talina.

Russell felt guilty about this.

In order to treat everyone equally, Russell could only let Viviana go, just like Talina.

But it was this decision that made her regret it in the days that followed.

The matter between Talina and Viviana had troubled her for a long time, and when she wasn't paying attention, the two of them caused a big incident.

The once harmonious family fell apart in the blink of an eye. Talina left, Viviana became decadent, and even Russell began to doubt his own abilities.

Am I really...unfit to be a mother?

Russell asked himself this question more than once, but he could never get an answer.

With guilt towards Talina and discomfort towards Viviana, Russell has been living in a daze in recent years.

Now that Tarina is back, everything is moving in a good direction, and Russell sees some hope for the future.

But today, Talina suddenly said that she wanted to leave!

Out of concern for Talina, Russell certainly would not agree with her idea, but her respect for Talina forced her to consider it seriously.

Talina's age and experience have reached a level she never imagined in the past few years. Talina is no longer the little girl she once was. Perhaps...

It's time to let go...

"You were just packing your clothes, right? Where are you going? Ursus?"

"Ah."

Answering weakly, feeling suffocated by Russell's parental aura, Talina moved her fingers to relax her stiff body.

"Did I tell you it's dangerous over there?"

"Have."

"Then why did you go?"

“Because there are important friends there!”

After saying this, Talina raised her head and looked directly at Russell, no longer as timid as before.

I have to go meet Tallulah and the others. I can't say whether we can continue to be together in the future, but at least...

With their love for me, I shouldn't just leave them in silence!

Even if all she could do after that was to say goodbye, Tarina was willing to do so.

"Growing up..."

Hearing Talina's answer, Russell closed his eyes and said this.

Unlike the previous ridicule, this time Russell recognized his own opinion from the bottom of his heart.

In Talina, she saw her former self.

Dare followed Cyril with momentum to charge at the Ursus army and successfully pulled the Silver Spear Pegasus back from the abyss of Ursus.

This kind of courage may only exist in youth...

Even though we know there is an abyss ahead, we still move forward without hesitation, just because there is something important there.

The only difference is that Russell’s important existence back then was the country, while now Talina is a friend.

The two cannot be compared, but for individuals, both are a kind of supreme courage.

"Mom, I know what you are worried about, I..."

"I agreed."

Wanting to strike while the iron was hot, Talina hurried forward to persuade Russell, but before she could say anything, Russell's answer choked her back.

"Mom, what you said... is it true?"

Tarina asked in disbelief, suddenly feeling unreal.

Why did Russell, who had strongly opposed it before, suddenly agree to her request?

Is there something fishy about this?

"I said, I promised, you can go to Ursus anytime, I won't stop you."

Looking at Talina, Russell spoke word by word.

"Wu! I love you so much! Mom!"

With a dive, she dived into Russell's arms, and Talina happily arched her body in Russell's arms, expressing her joy.

"But! I have conditions!"

After helping Talina up, Russell looked at her seriously.

Talina also nodded hurriedly. As long as Russell agreed, Talina would agree even if the conditions were outrageous.

"My condition is..."

"Protect yourself, don't put yourself in danger, please..."

“Remember!”

Volume 4: Chapter 70: The Traveler

"Well, remember to take care of yourself over there. Avoid danger, don't talk to strangers, don't..."

He kept reminding Talina over and over again, even though he had said these words countless times before, but when he was about to leave, Russell couldn't help but remind her.

"Well, don't worry!"

Smiling, Talina took Russell's hand and squeezed it hard.

"I'm already an adult, I won't make those stupid mistakes!"

"It's different. Some people don't care whether you're an adult or a child. They only care about their own interests. As for the rest? That's not within their consideration."

Patting Tarinna's wife's head, Russell told her his life experience.
