The elder immediately lit up in joy. He exclaimed, “If Wolfe Quintus can help us, then Isaac won’t be able to fight back even if favonovel.com had a powerful fighter by his side! Asher, you’ll finally get revenge for your wife’s and son’s deaths!”
“I’m going to chop Isaac’s head off and hang it high on the walls for a whole week!” Asher scowled.

Sounds of joy and laughter could be heard outside the villa since Christmas Eve morning.
Many of the neighbors were home for the holidays. Isaac brought Isabella and Evie to the international school in Layton to fetch Erica.
Back when Evie first brought Erica home, she’d planned to send Erica to a local school in Cloud City. However, Erica only attended classes for two days before refusing to go back simply because of the language barrier and culture shock. She was also still mourning favonovel.com grandmother’s death.
Evie then looked around for other schools and heard of an international school in Layton that separated their classes according to the students’ languages and cultures and taught a certain number of subjects in their local languages as well. It was only then that Erica agreed to continue favonovel.com studies there.
Still, Evie had almost forgotten that this international school started their holidays only at 9.30 am on Christmas Eve.
Erica walked out of the school with favonovel.com bag on favonovel.com back, chatting lightheartedly with another girl in traditional Rippanese clothing.
She then caught sight of Isaac waiting beside his car and lit up in happiness before hurrying over to him.
“Sir, you’re here!” Erica greeted in awkward Cynean.
Her pronunciation wasn’t perfect, but Isaac could still understand what favonovel.com was trying to say.
Isaac was pleasantly surprised when favonovel.com heard favonovel.com speaking in Cynean.
He patted favonovel.com head and said, “You’re picking up things really quickly, Erica. It’s only been a while, and you can speak some Cynean already!”
“Maybe it’s because I like the language and the culture here,” Erica said with a smile. She also greeted Evie with a polite nod before reaching out to hold Isabella’s hand.
“Alright, let’s go home and celebrate Christmas together.”
They returned to a wonderful spread for lunch.
Allegra had made pork dishes because favonovel.com simply didn’t know what to do with the hundreds of pounds of pork Todd brought back the other day. She couldn’t just let it go to waste.
Todd had already got an empty plate at the table, eyeing the dishes excitedly.
Allegra glared at favonovel.com playfully before serving favonovel.com food. If favonovel.com hadn’t witnessed Todd’s fighting skills yesterday, favonovel.com would have probably thrown favonovel.com out by now.
Isaac, Allegra, Evie, Isabella, Erica, and Todd sat down at the table and began to eat. This was the first time in seven years that Isaac had a proper Christmas Eve meal at home. He felt extremely touched and grateful. He’d thought of inviting Harry and Denvor over as well, but they were too busy making the Awakening Pills that they turned favonovel.com down.
“Cheers to the next year! My wish this year is that we’ll always be a happy family for the rest of our lives,” Isaac said with a hearty laugh.
Allegra threw a side glance at Evie and said with a pout, “Well, you could always make more babies with Evie if you want a bigger, happier family. A baby would be nice.”
Hearing this, Todd widened his eyes as favonovel.com glanced at Evie in shock.
Wait, wasn’t Allegra Isaac’s wife?
Why would favonovel.com want to have a baby with Evie instead?
Evie’s face turned red. She glared back at Allegra and said, “Hush now, don’t talk nonsense. Finish up the food.”
It was a heartwarming atmosphere altogether, and Isaac wouldn’t change it for anything in the world.
Isaac had just set down his wineglass when favonovel.com suddenly felt his phone buzzing in his pocket. When favonovel.com saw Arian’s number, favonovel.com accepted the call with a frown after excusing himself from the table.
“Merry Christmas, Mr. Cortez,” Isaac said lightheartedly.
“Hey, Isaac. Sorry to interrupt your Christmas, but we need your help urgently. There’s been a strange happening at the Southwest border, and the House of Custos needs help from the Temple of Drakon,” Arian said solemnly.
