The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 185

Chapter 185: She was shining Chapter 185: She was shining Alice gulped.

Ah, the story took such a heavy turn.

It started with the little cheerful boy falling in love with his baby brother and his days filled with happiness.

So, how did it take a dark turn?

She wondered, why was Devon telling her this story?

No, before that, she wanted to know how it ended.

Did the little boy find his baby brother?

Did they get to live happily ever after?

Devon watched Alice’s inquisitive expression and raised his hand to reach out to her but paused.

He took back his hand, took off his gloves, and tried again.

He slowly reached for her face and stroked gently.

It was more like a caress and just the tip of his fingers on her skin passed on his feelings more clearly than what she felt all along, and this made Alice have her doubts.

This…

Wasn’t just a story, was it?

“Do you want to know what happened after that?” He asked and Alice nodded.

He took his hand back and said, “He found his brother.” He said.

“He found him, but the way he went, the things he had to do, it stole a part of him completely, but he promised his baby brother that he would never see that side of the world again.

He would never see such cruelty, so he shed his hard side and left just the softness for his brother to see.” Alice was confused.

Why was he speaking in parables now?

She wasn’t that smart to figure this sort of thing out.

“He killed the people holding his baby brother.” Leo said, and Alice flinched, her eyes startled, and she turned to Leo, who had his chin resting on his knuckle.

He looked like a lazy, handsome guy in that pose, but…

How did he know the little boy killed the people holding his little brother?

“It’s true.” Devon said, and Alice turned back to him.

“It took some time to find his baby brother.

And during that time, he was confined in an orphanage.

He didn’t speak much and didn’t interact with others.

And while people thought he was being haunted by the traumatic experience, he was simply holding in his growing rage.

The little boy already had hatred in his blood, gnashing his teeth and waiting for the right time to escape the orphanage and find his brother.” “But…

How did he know where to find his brother?” Alice asked.

“I mean, the police didn’t know, right?” “Yes, they had no idea, and they also had no idea what his baby brother looked like.” He said, proving a point that Alice had yet to catch on to.

“Do you know, in that neighborhood where everyone had been murdered in his backyard, there was one house that was exempted?

And in that house, the wife is barren.” “How did he know that?” “Adults tend to speak a lot of things that they think kids don’t understand but they have no idea that even though the child doesn’t understand the term, the child may as well understand it through the situation that it’s being said.” Devon attempted to wear his gloves again but he remembered when Alice held his hand.

If he had not been wearing gloves, then their hands would’ve really been connected and then he would’ve felt her warmth more closely.

But then again, his hands were not clean and he did not want to taint her.

He did not want to use his filthy hands to…

“Devon,” Alice called and he snapped out of his thoughts.

She looked at him, eager to hear the rest of the story.

“Please, continue.” She said and he blinked.

She was shining.

She was very beautiful and he wished he could continue to see the rest of that beauty.

“Geez, Alice, I didn’t take you for the type to like storytelling.” Leo said, looking amused and she scoffed.

“Come on, can you not hear the content of this story?

It’s intriguing and I really want to know how it ends.” She said.

“Besides, we still have an hour before the set time for dinner.

So we got plenty of time to spare.” “Yeah, I kinda wonder why you decided to leave early.” Leo said, folding his arms.

“We could still lazy around a lot more before the time was right.” “Well, Devon was already waiting and he was alone.

I didn’t want to pass my sweet time relaxing while he waited to take me to Gramps.” She said and he rolled his eyes.

“Whatever.

Devon, can you continue the story now?

It seems Alice will burst with anticipation anytime soon.” He said but she squinted her eyes at him.

“Just admit you want to hear the end of the story as well.

Don’t pitch me in front.” She said but he decisively ignored her and turned his head away.

To avoid any more of their bickering, Devon decided to continue the story.

It wasn’t exactly a fond tale…

He wished Alice would understand him better if she heard it.

Then, she wouldn’t make assumptions like he was the kindest and purest person in the world.

He looked at his hand.

He was just a tainted soul, trying to do whatever he could to make up for the mistakes of the past.

“The little boy went back to his neighborhood, and the house that was left unscathed.

He peered through the window and there he found his baby brother in a crib completely different from the one he used to be in.

His baby brother was laughing and the woman who was making him laugh was…” He paused, his countenance slowly changing but he did his best to keep his cool.

“At that moment, the little boy recalled what had happened before he fell unconscious.

This woman had come to their house to the small backyard party his mother had thrown in celebration of her one-year-old son.

This woman brought snacks so everyone could eat but the little boy, who had to use the bathroom, escaped eating it.

And by the time he went back, he found a group of men slaughtering the people who had passed out and stealing their organs.” Alice’s countenance turned heavy.

Ah, the story was taking a far worse turn than she imagined.

“The woman wasn’t part of the unconscious people, and the little boy’s baby brother was nowhere to be found.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah Don’t worry, folks.

Baby bro is okayyy
