"Randy knows five languages, " Carla explained with a smile. "He speaks Erihalean and Ferropenian better than I do."
"What?" Carla was stunned.
"It's all right. The child's intelligence and emotional maturity is at the level of adults, " Daemon plainly explained. "He knows what we're talking about."
Carla scratched his nose awkwardly.
"You have a good eye." Daemon looked at Randy in admiration. "The chef is indeed Chanaean."
"Mmm-hmm. He's really good." Randy nodded in praise.
"Feel free to come for dinner whenever you like."
Daemon adored Randy and always spoke to him in a gentle tone.
"Sure. Thanks, Uncle Dan." Randy smiled before continuing with his meal.
"Randy, what are you talking about?"
Venus looked at Randy curiously as she didn't understand what they were saying.
"We're talking about dinner…" Randy filled Venus in while speaking Chanaean.
When Daemon finished the wine in his glass, he turned to Carla. "I have something on at night. Is it all right with you to just give them an answer?"
Carla stopped slicing her steak halfway as she knitted her eyebrows. Although she was reluctant to agree to it, she didn't dare reject the proposal in front of everyone.
It would not only humiliate Carla, but also Daemon.
After all, Daemon was the one who invited them over.
Although he had stated that he wouldn't force Carla, his support for the marriage couldn't be any more obvious.
"There's no hurry at all." Sensing Carla's awkwardness, Lucas helped her diffuse the situation. "Mr. Lierger, if you are busy, we can talk about this tomorrow. After all, Dad and I will be staying a few days and won't be leaving so soon."
When Carla gave Lucas a look to signal him to stop talking, Lucas pretended not to see it.
Carla was infuriated. It was obvious Daemon was putting pressure on Carla to be decisive. However, once Lucas interjected, they had lost the initiative.
"Why don't we go to the study now." Carla put down her cutlery and asserted, "Given how important the matter is, I think it deserves proper discussion."
"Of course." Carla nodded in agreement before asking for Daemon's opinion. "Daemon, what do you think?"
"All right then." Daemon put down his wine glass and signaled with his hand. The next moment, Harrison came forward and guided everyone to the study.
"Randy, Venus, both of you continue with dinner. I'll be back in a while." Carla tousled both their heads. "Stay here and behave!"
"All right, Mommy." Venus nodded obediently.
"Go on, Mommy."
Randy didn't say anything further as he continued to eat.
It wasn't until they left that a glint flashed in his eye.
Venus leaned over and asked. "Randy, now?"
"Shh…" Randy shushed her with his eyebrows furrowed. He whispered, "Venus, stop asking. Also, you're making it too obvious. The game is about acting. So, you have to behave naturally, all right?"
"Mmm-hmm." Venus nodded and asked, "In that case, what should I do?"
Just as she spoke, she covered her mouth and blushed.
After checking the surroundings, Randy handed Venus a Whyte glucose tablet.
Venus put it into her mouth and chewed. She even commented with a giggle, "It's really sweet and delicious."
"From now on, watch what you say." Randy passed her doll to her.
Venus sat on the chair and played with it with an innocent expression.
Randy continued to slice the steak but had lost all appetite by then.
The thought of Carla marrying someone else and breaking the family apart caused him to feel desperate.
