Kevin Clark informed his family in advance, so Arthur Northâs entire family specially came over.
It was Daisy Zaneâs first formal visit, and the Clark family treated her with great ceremony.
They also treated Wilton Edwards kindly, treating him as a member of Daisyâs family.
In just a few days, uncle Edwards had clearly gained some weight.
After eating lunch together, Daisy Zane went back to Kevinâs courtyard to rest.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Kevin cooked a separate meal for Daisy Zane.
Kevin knew very well about Daisyâs appetite. She ate less during lunch, so he was worried that she would be hungry.
Uncle Edwards went to rest, whereas Charles Amos stayed with Natalie Wayne in the front courtyard.
Kevin Clark and Daisy Zane had another meal together in a gazebo.
âAre you staying here tonight?â asked Kevin Clark.
âYes,â said Daisy Zane, âIf you have something to do, go ahead. Iâll be fine here.â
âI donât have much to deal with, just some stuff in my study.â
Daisy Zane didnât speak anymore and just quietly ate her food.
âHow are you planning to handle Amelia Miles?â Kevin asked.
Amelia Miles was, after all, a different kind of existence, so he didnât want to make decisions for her or help her handle matters.
He was afraid that the little girl might want to keep Amelia Milesâ face.
âAfter the dance competition.â Daisy said calmly.
No matter the outcome of the dance competition, this period of time was considered as the last favor she would give to Amelia Milesâ face.
âHmm. With Bonnie Maxwell arrested, Amelia Miles will be well-behaved for now.â Kevin Clark said.
âIt doesnât matter. She can continue acting.â Daisy Zane said, âI will settle the score with her one by one when the time comes.â
Kevin Clark lightly raised his eyebrows.
After finishing their meal, Kevin went to his study room.
Daisy Zane went back to her bedroom, but didnât sleep. Instead, she worked on a script.
Around three oâclock, Daisy Zane left her room. Seeing the closed door of the study, she informed the housekeeper and went to the front courtyard.
Natalie Wayne and Elina Clark had woken up early, and they had already been accompanying Charles Amos to play the piano for a while.
Seeing Daisy Zane coming, Natalie Wayne went to sit with her.
Elina Clark also exchanged a few words with Zane before going back to watch Charles Amos play the piano.
Natalie Wayne and Daisy Zane sat in the living room. After a while, Natalie said, âItâs been a long time since weâve had children at home. Ever since Charles came, my brotherâs spirits have lifted a lot.â
Daisy Zane was a bit taken aback by the mention of âBrother Louisâ but realized the reference was to Kevin Clarkâs father. She said, âCharles can be quite mischievous sometimes.â
âYouâve raised him well.â Natalie Wayne said.
Daisy Zane just smiled without replying.
As for Charles she didnât have too many expectations of him. All she wanted was for him to be healthy and not to go astray.
In fact, at the beginning, she was very resistant to the idea of Charles learning many things.
She was very afraid that Charles would become like Edward Kirsten.
But later on, she went ahead and taught Charles everything he wanted to learn.
âHe plays the piano very well, heâs very talented.â said Natalie Wayne, âAlex Justin of the Court Music Academy has mentioned more than once that Charlesâ talent has the potential to surpass Kevinâs.â
âKevinâs piano playing is very good too.â Daisy Zane said.
Tom Wayne smiled and said, âArthur North loved the piano very much. He had big dreams since he was a child. When he was little, I wanted him to take over my class, but no matter how much I pushed him, he refused to learn anything other than the piano. He even said he wanted to be a pianist.â
A gentle smile appeared in Daisy Zaneâs eyes. She imagined young Kevin Clark talking about becoming a pianist.
Seeing her smile, Tom Wayne also smiled, âKevin has always been open-minded. The Clark Family didnât need him to inherit, and he didnât have the burden of carrying on the family line. He had two older brothers, and Enamel Cannon was two years older than him. He could do whatever he wanted without any worries.â
Daisy Zane looked at Tom Wayne, sensing that she wanted to say something to her.
âBut in the end, things didnât go according to his original intentions.â
Daisy Zane listened quietly.
âWhen Kevin was 15, he had a great opportunity. Alex Justin wanted to take him to a concert in the M Continent.â Tom Wayne recalled, âBoth Alex and Kevin were very confident that time. As long as the performance was successful Kevinâs dream would have been almost realized.â
Daisy Zaneâs fingers slowly clenched.
How could something that Kevin Clark was confident in not succeed?
Unless something unexpected happened, which led to him rarely playing the piano now.
âFor a while, Kevin was very happy, practically glued to the piano â Tom Wayne looked at Charles Amos, and suddenly, she seemed to see a familiar figure in him, causing her to space out for a moment. She paused and said, âBut a week before leaving for the M Continent, the news of Edward Northâs death arrived.â
Daisy Zaneâs eyelashes trembled violently.
Edward North, Kevin Clarkâs second brother.
The second brother who was never mentioned.
âEdward was a soldier at the border. During a mission he was killed.â Tom Wayne said softly, âThey said he was shot in the chest and rolled down the Snoro Mountain. By the time they went to search for him, he was already gone. In the vast snow-covered mountain, no one knew where he was buried.â
Gone without a trace.
Daisy Zane looked at the delicate and elegant woman in front of her, paused for a moment, and gently grasped her hand.
Tom Wayne felt her hand and came back to her senses, she turned and smiled at Daisy before continuing, âKevin and his second brother had always been close. It might be because Nathan North was older and had started a family earlier. Kevin and Edward were closer. So, Edwardâs death was a huge blow to him.â
âKevin locked himself in his room for a week and never went to the M Continent. After that, the piano he had always used was put into the storage room. Alex Justin tried to persuade him almost every day, but in the end, he never convinced Kevin to come back.â
Tom Wayne said, âAfter that some rumors about Kevin spread in the Imperial Capital. All of them were bad. And Kevin gave all his shares in the Clark Family to Enamel Cannon. To this day, we still donât know what Kevin is doing. His time at home becomes less and less, and sometimes he only comes back once a year during the Chinese New Year. From the rumors heâs just idling around.â
Daisy Zane thought about the things being secretly researched by the Easton Group.
Kevin Clark wanted to use intelligent technology and robots to replace border soldiers to the greatest extent.
Not just robots patrolling or attacking to a certain extent.
He wanted to enhance defenses and reduce casualties.
He aimed to adapt to various harsh environments, accurately locate enemy positions in vast snowy areas, or effectively guard against and identify any dangerous actions in time to stop them.
Many intelligent technologies have been applied to the border now, but they still need to be more advanced.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Easton Group was working on advancement, continuous innovation, and strengthening.
Kevin Clark could not go to the border to replace Edward North.
Because his parents had already lost Edward.
He couldnât go to the border and let his parents worry every day.
So he chose a different approach.
He chose another way to protect what Edward North had been guarding.
And it seemed like he had completely separated himself from the Clark Family. In this way whatever he did, it had nothing to do with the Clark Family.
âDaisy â Tom Wayne held Daisy Zaneâs hand and felt a thin callus on her fingers, which should be formed from frequently holding a gun. She looked at Daisy and said, âI didnât mean anything by telling you all this. I just want to say Iâm not sure what you and Kevin are doing. But I just want you two to be safe. Nothing is more important than your lives.â
Daisy Zane looked at her.
âPromise me, no matter when, you and Kevin must put your own safety first, okay?â Tom Wayne said.
Daisy Zane hesitated for a moment and finally said, âOkay.â
