Chapter 426: Sixty, I’m only giving you ten seconds_3
What sort of surprise could Phinis have for her?
Hewinia was somewhat puzzled.
At this time, the carriage also slowly came to a stop.
Phinis opened the door of the carriage, allowing Hewinia to see outside: a middle-aged man standing in the wind and snow, indifferent.
After getting a clear look at the middle-aged man’s face, Hewinia’s pupils slightly tightened.
Because the man’s name was Ivan.
Hewinia pursed her lips, then slowly walked up to the man, bowing her head and speaking softly.
“I heard about what happened at the Three Colleges,” Ivan sat in front of Hewinia, with a serious expression, “I was planning to go directly to the Three Colleges to find you, but Master Phinis sent someone to inform me, saying that you would be brought here, so I came straight here to wait for you.”
His gaze swept over Hewinia.
“You… haven’t been hurt, have you?”
“No, Father.” Hewinia shook her head, “That person didn’t harm me.”
“Hmm, I’ve also heard roughly what happened,” Ivan nodded, then looked towards Phinis, who was sitting nearby, “It’s fortunate that Master Phinis was there to lend a hand; you should thank him.”
Before Hewinia could speak, Phinis already smiled and shook his head: “No need to be so polite, we will eventually be one family anyway.”
“…Of course.” Ivan did not deny it, and then he took an exquisitely wrapped package from his pocket and handed it to Hewinia, “This is from your mother.”
Hewinia unwrapped the package and then revealed a surprised expression.
Because inside the package was a box of baked cookies.
Hewinia truly hadn’t expected this.
“Your mother knows you’ve been through such an ordeal and is very worried about you, but since she couldn’t come in person, this was the only thing she could do.” Ivan frowned slightly with displeasure, “She still treats you like a child, insisting that I hand this to you personally. Honestly, she spoils you too much.”
Hewinia stared blankly at the cookies before her, not yet responding, when Phinis laughed from the side: “If I had a daughter as outstanding as Miss Hevnia, I’m sure I’d spoil her to the skies too. But Miss Hevnia, you truly have a mother who loves you.”
Hewinia responded to Phinis with a smile.
But inside, she didn’t think so.
That guy Mandy… knew how to bake cookies?
Did the original Hewinia enjoy eating cookies baked by Mandy?
How could she not know about something ?
She looked at the cookies before her, intending to put them away for later when Ivan said, “Master Phinis, may I have a moment alone with my daughter? Her mother entrusted me with some words for her.”
A strong unease suddenly leapt up in Hewinia’s heart.
Phinis rose with a smile, saying “I’ll be just outside” and then left the room.
Suddenly, only Hewinia and Ivan were left in the room.
The two of them looked at each other, and the tender fatherly look in Ivan’s eyes was gone, replaced with an indifferent Gaze.
After a long while, he finally opened his mouth slowly: “Eat the cookies, now.”
Hewinia did not move: “May I know the reason?”
“You only have two choices,” Ivan said indifferently, “The first, eat those cookies. The second, I reveal your true identity to Phinis right now.”
Hewinia’s pupils tightened slightly.
Ivan leaned back in his chair, looking down on Hewinia from a superior position.
“I’ll give you ten seconds.”
