Chapter 1520: Chapter 1492: What do you owe him?!

Seeing his daughter cry with pear-like tears, Mario Yuno couldn’t bear it and, stroking his daughter’s soft hair, said.

"Dad brought back clothes with a treasure inside, go and look for it."

He had brought back a big bag of dirty clothes today and just left it at the door.

At his words, the little one immediately stopped crying and crawled toward the clothes.

Mario Yuno took the opportunity to walk over to Kiara, glanced at the book in her hand, and said disdainfully.

"What’s so interesting about a professional book?"

Kiara squinted at him, "Your sense of aesthetics is limited to reading a few comics, this was written by Fox Cat."

"Fox Cat?!" Hearing these two words, Mario Yuno felt like a pot of old sour vinegar had fallen from the sky; how come he was everywhere?

"Wah!"

Wendy’s crying seemed as if it could lift the roof, so Kiara and Mario Yuno hurriedly looked over.

There was Wendy, surrounded by a pile of dirty clothes; not finding any treasure, she found a stinky sock instead. The little one seemed to have some cleanliness obsession, was hugely distressed upon smelling the sock’s nostril-assaulting scent, holding the stinky sock and crying, crying for a while and then turning her head to glance at the sock before continuing to cry.

This was a tender child deeply lamenting being deceived by her unscrupulous dad.

Kiara also realized what had happened and twisted Mario’s ear in anger, "Can you ever take something seriously?!"

He actually lied to the child that a stinky sock was a treasure!

Mario Yuno touched his nose, "I remembered today while tidying up, I forgot to pick up the socks. Perhaps due to the rainy season, they got a bit moldy. My daughter, dad’s treasure is a lesson that you should be mindful, like not forgetting to change out of dirty clothes or else——"

"Wah!" Crying hard, that disgusted face!

Okay, Dad’s profound educational meaning was hard for the baby to understand.

Kiara walked over to pick up her daughter, "Don’t cry, don’t cry, Mommy will wash you up, really, it stinks... our little Wendy’s sweet hands all smelly... Mario Yuno, you cook tonight, that’s your punishment —— oh right, and wash this bag of ’treasure’. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap afterward; we don’t want a sock-flavored dinner!"

Having said that, she carried the child to the bathroom. Poor daughter, burdened with such an unreliable dad, what to do!

Mario Yuno was punished and still felt a bit defiant.

He pursed his lips as he closed the book written by Fox Cat, initially intending to drop it and go soothe his daughter, but suddenly, his gaze lingered on the cover.

Somewhere, something wasn’t right.

He thought he had heard something from his daughter-in-law about this book before, what was it...

He stood there staring at the book for a long time because it took time to search for such fine fragments of memory after a long interval.

After Kiara had finished washing the child’s hands and came out to see him still daydreaming, she walked over and tapped him.

"What are you doing?"

Why was he staring so seriously at a book by Fox Cat?

Kiara could sense something was wrong from his expression and nearly thought Mario Yuno was about to set the book on fire.

"You said, who wrote this?"

"Fox Cat."

"Why is the name not right?"

"Oh, that’s a pen name. Fox Cat is quite low-key and doesn’t want to write using his real identity, so he just came up with this pen name. Don’t you think the pen name sounds very similar to his real name?"

A pen name, right, it was the pen name!

Mario Yuno remembered.

"Daughter-in-law, you really can’t remember anything about this pen name?"

It was she who had told him herself!

"What’s the matter—is there a problem with this pen name?" Kiara asked anxiously.

She herself also thought there was something wrong with the book, having looked at it all afternoon without recollection. Could it be that Camden knew a past life memory that she had forgotten?

"This matter goes back a long way. It started when you first confronted Fox Cat, because Yuki Stone was subjected to implant hypnosis, and you hadn’t encountered such technology before, so you desperately searched for information. Do you have this memory?"

Kiara nodded; she hadn’t lost any memories of this life, only those of her past life.

"Then, you had someone bring over a book from overseas, and the pen name was this ’halley’. You told me at the time..."

Mario Yuno paused.

Kiara couldn’t wait to urge him, "What did I tell you? Just say it!"

"At the time, you spoke with a tone of regret, saying that the author was a Psychiatrist with a lot of ideas, but unfortunately..."

"Unfortunately what?" Kiara urged, feeling that all the answers lay within these words of regret.

"You stopped there, and it tickled me so much at the time, I must describe to you my thoughts back then. I thought, who is this person you were so concerned about? Could it be someone you liked? Then, that night, taking advantage of you being asleep, recalling you once told me that people are most likely to tell the truth when they’re half asleep, I—daughter-in-law, I must be honest with you, you have to promise not to hit me after I tell you this!"

"You’re pardoned this time, spill it!"

"So as you were sleeping, I whispered in your ear, asking who ’halley’ was."

Mario Yuno actually wanted to keep this shameless tactic a secret for a lifetime. If his daughter-in-law became aware of it and guarded against it, he wouldn’t be able to use it anymore.

But this was too strange, and in the face of such a justice, it was better to be honest about these unscrupulous little tricks.

"How did I respond?"

"You said, he was a talented psychiatrist who ultimately committed suicide by jumping off a building due to haunting emotions, suspected of depression... you also said you always liked his books and had wanted to arrange a meeting with him."

Upon hearing this, Kiara felt like she had been struck by lightning on a clear day!

So that’s how it was!

No wonder she always felt something was wrong whenever she saw Fox Cat’s book—it was for this reason!

"Daughter-in-law, could you be mistaken? Didn’t you say before that ’halley’ had already jumped off a building? How is Fox Cat still hopping around the world? Perhaps this guy is fishing for fame, I’ve got it now!" Mario Yuno slapped his forehead, feeling like he had cracked a big case.

"Could he be getting someone else to write his books and then fooling you by saying it’s his work, aiming to win your favor? Tsk, tsk, I’ve long suspected this kid was suspicious. Yes, that’s just how shameless he is!"

Vilifying a rival was such a delightful thing, addictive even.

Kiara pushed him away with one hand, "Even if he’s more shameless, he’s better than someone like you who deceives a child with stinky socks. Get out of my way!"

Wendy nodded in agreement, yes, out of the way!

Seeing Kiara holding the book as if she had lost her soul, Mario Yuno wanted to say something, but he noticed her eyes were turning red.

"Daughter-in-law?" No way, he was just joking. Did he really make his daughter-in-law cry?

"I finally understand what was in the memories I forgot; it turns out that I owed him."

"Owed what?" He was clueless.

"Owed..." Tears began streaming down Kiara’s face.

"Hold on, daughter-in-law, don’t cry. You’re making me anxious. You don’t owe someone emotionally, do you?" If it was that, they’d rather be in debt than pay it back.

Kiara shook her head, "No, I owe him a life."

"Oh, a life, that’s easy to settle. As long as it’s not feelings, I’ll pay back whatever you owe—wait, owe what?!"
