Chapter 1699: A Larger Vortex
After the dinner in the evening, everyone bid farewell in front of the restaurant.
Due to the children being frightened, the principal of the kindergarten called after learning about the
situation during dinner. They suggested that the children take two days off to rest and stabilize their
emotions before returning to school.
Reuben and Joyce agreed to the suggestion.
Reuben took Kiki and drove back with Grizela.
Joyce, Luther, and Darrin each drove back to the Warner residence.
Once they arrived home, Joyce settled Anderson, helped him freshen up, and put him to bed.
By the time she left Anderson's room, it was already 10 o'clock.
Luther saw her coming out and immediately pulled her into his arms. He took a deep sniff of her hair,
filled with its fragrance, and softly said, "Your hair isn't dry yet. Let me help you."
"Mmm." Joyce didn't refuse and leaned against his chest.
In the living room, Luther fetched a hairdryer and carefully dried her hair strand by strand. He gently
stroked the back of her head, his eyes filled with tenderness.
After turning off the hairdryer, Joyce rested on Luther's leg. She sighed, "Reuben is not an ordinary
person. His identity goes beyond being a Rohomes businessman."
"You noticed something?" Luther continued to caress her back.
"Today, Kiki mentioned that she wanted me to take her for ice cream. Her family was going to pick her
up later. I agreed, but I didn't expect the incident with the criminals to happen. While we were eating ice
cream, Kiki mentioned her cousin, who is Reuben. He is a prince. There is also a famous female
captain by his side, who addresses him as 'Your Highness' on a daily basis."
Luther's hand paused, and his expression turned serious. "The Rohomes prince? The female
bodyguard by his side, could she be the captain of the Rohomes Royal Guard?"
Joyce nodded. "Most likely. I actually knew about it when you arrived, but they were present, so I
couldn't tell you. On the way back just now, I mentioned it to Darrin as well. He was surprised to learn
that Grizela is the captain of the Rohomes Royal Guard. He told me that it's not easy to join the Royal
Guard in Rohomes. They go through various tests and competitions, only the best can earn the
position. Men can't endure it, let alone women."novelbin
Luther understood. "No wonder. I noticed Reuben's actions, and he exudes an extraordinary noble
aura. At that time, I felt that his identity was not simple. However, he deliberately dyed his hair silver,
which misled me. His appearance was too unconventional, and I didn't associate him with being a
prince."
"Although it came from a child, it's highly credible. Kiki doesn't lie. She also mentioned that her aunt,
who is Reuben's mother, Kempley, is not happy. It seems she has been confined to a mental hospital."
Luther helped Joyce up, and she leaned against his side. "You mean Reuben's mother has been
imprisoned in a mental hospital? The royal family of Rohomes is engaged in intense power struggles,
and the relationships within the royal family are complicated. Outsiders have no idea. If Reuben's
mother has been confined, Reuben must be an unpopular prince. Either his mother lost in the power
struggle, or she is being controlled."
Joyce shook her head. "I'm not sure. No wonder the Bryant family never mentioned their eldest
daughter. And it's no wonder Torrance doesn't want to get married; she prefers artificial insemination."
"Among the Rohomes princes, only Clint Tanaka, the current heir and the eldest son, is the most
hopeful and his name is publicly known. The other princes remain anonymous and never appear in
public," Luther frowned. "Even if we try to inquire, it's difficult to know the inside story of another
country's royal family."
"Yeah. What surprises me is that the Rohomes prince came to Khebury and stayed for a long time.
What could be his purpose? Don't you find it strange? Also, Kiki mentioned that Reuben had never
been to Pascaylia before. Kiki only met him for the first time today. So, his purpose couldn't be simply
to visit family," Joyce said, leaning against Luther.
Luther sat up straight, on high alert. "You're right. I have the feeling that he has a purpose. It's not just a
simple coincidence of appearing at the same time. There must be some connection behind it. It's
impossible for it to be so coincidental. There must be some kind of relationship between the
appearance of the Rohomes royals and the return of OGW."
"What a damn Athena! She controls Alisha's life and deathand puts me in a difficult position, a thorn in
my side. And she's involved in some shady dealings behind the scenes. What does she want to
accomplish? What is the connection between her and the mysterious Rohomes royals who appeared in
Khebury?" Luther's thoughts churned.
He held Joyce tighter in his arms, feeling an unprecedented sense of crisis permeating his body.
No matter what, he would protect his beloved ones and the children.
