"Wow, Dad, you bought so many delicious things!"
"My little darling wanted it, so look, Daddy bought lots of hamburgers and big fried chicken!"
"Yay! Fried chicken!"
Nuonuo excitedly took one of the bags and awkwardly placed it on the table.
"Honey, you're back."
Delala also smiled and went forward to greet him, giving her husband a big hug.
"Honey, you've worked so long and still have to take care of the kids."
The man smiled and hugged her back, wanting to kiss Delala's face, but she shyly pushed him away.
"We have guests..."
"Ah?"
The man looked at the sofa in surprise, and his eyes met those of Hela, who was sitting there.
He trembled violently, his eyes darting between Hela and his family.
Finally, a slow smile appeared on his face.
"Hello, Hela, my name is Noah, nice to meet you again."
Hela scratched her head. "I remember you're from Atan Country, so how come he's living in United States?"
"Sigh... It's all because of that mess. I couldn't stay there any longer, so I had no choice but to come to United States to spend my retirement years."
Noah sighed helplessly in response.
"Oh, oh." Hela suddenly understood; it was her fault.
"You two still know each other?"
Delala looked surprised when she saw that the two seemed to know each other.
Noah smiled and nodded. "Yes, I met you in Atan Country before I was transferred."
"Oh my, what a coincidence! Come, come, let's eat together."
Delala took the bag from Noah's other hand and placed it on the dining table.
Their son, Nuonuo, was already jumping up and down with anticipation.
"Mom and Dad, hurry up, I want a hamburger!"
"Alright, alright, you little glutton!"
Delala smiled and patted Nuonuo's head, then took out the still-warm beef burger, fried chicken, fries, family bucket, and cola from the bag.
My mouth watered just looking at Nuonuo.
Noah moved four stools around the dining table. " Hela, come and eat with us. We probably can't finish this."
"Yes, Sister Hela, come quick!"
Nuonuo waved her little hand, beckoning Hela over.
"Oh." Hela nodded and casually sat down in a chair.
The family of three also sat down around the table.
"Daddy, Daddy, hamburger!"
"Okay, here you go, your favorite beef burger."
Noah handed a steaming hot beef burger to Nuonuo, his eyes full of doting affection.
"Awoo~"
Nuonuo couldn't wait and took a bite, getting food all over her face.
"Haha, eat slower! Look at you, you're all Xiaohua!"
Delala smiled and took out a tissue to wipe Nuonuo's little face clean.
Hela, don't be shy, you should eat too.
Noah took out a chicken burger and handed it to Hela, who took it expressionlessly and took a bite.
happiness.
Looking at the happy family of three in front of her, those two words came to Hela's mind.
A lovely son, a gentle and virtuous wife, and a husband who cares for his family and is successful in his career.
If there's a universal answer to happiness, it must be this family.
His overflowing happiness even infected Hela, causing her to have a strange feeling.
The table full of food was quickly devoured, but for some reason, Hela ate very little this time, just like an ordinary young girl.
With ketchup still on her lips, Nuonuo leaned back in her seat with a happy expression, patting her chubby little belly contentedly.
"Thank you, Mom and Dad, I'm so full!"
His endearing, goofy appearance made Noah and Delala chuckle.
Oh, right.
Noah looked at Hela as if he had suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, I didn't know Hela why you came to our house. Is there something you need help with?"
Noah asked this question, Delala immediately leaned close to his ear to explain.
After listening to his wife's explanation, Noah nodded slightly.
After a brief silence, he gazed deeply at his wife, who had been by his side for half his life.
"I understand, Hela is the one I was talking about."
Delala was stunned at first, then covered her mouth in shock, her eyes visibly reddening.
Hela sensed something was wrong and stared intently at the group.
Delala's lips parted as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just forced out a smile and nodded.
"Okay... I'll take Nuonuo back to her room to rest first. You two can continue your conversation."
"Let's go, Nuonuo, we won't bother Daddy."
Okay~
Delala picked up Nuonuo and hurried away from the living room into a bedroom.
However, even after the door closed, Hela's keen ears still picked up a faint sobbing sound coming from inside.
What do you want to do?
Hela's cold gaze was fixed on Noah, who sat opposite her, while the latter remained indifferent.
"By the way, you don't know my name yet, do you? My name is Noah."
Noah did not answer directly, but instead introduced himself.
"I'm asking you, what do you want to do?"
Pfft!
Hela repeated herself, and as the sound of flesh tearing apart rang out, two tentacles with sharp blades burst forth from her body, writhing in the air like bloodthirsty pythons.
Noah closed his eyes and sighed softly.
"It's nothing. I just told my wife who you are and that we might die here."
Hela blinked. "Oh, no wonder she was crying."
As he spoke, the two root tentacles behind him suddenly retracted.
"I don't want to kill you, because you give me a strange feeling, like you're so happy."
"Really? Thank you then." Noah smiled and thanked him.
"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. You'd better not tell Night Star that I'm here, or I'll make you miserable."
After saying that, Hela got up to leave.
"Hey, don't be in such a hurry. How about I stay and chat for a bit?"
To Hela's surprise, Noah actually raised his hand to stop Hela.
"My wife told me you're very interested in the meaning of life, why don't we talk about it?"
"OK."
Hela, without any hesitation, plopped back down.
Noah took out the half-finished cola and handed it to Hela, then took out a glass for himself and took a sip.
"I never expected that even Variant would think I'm happy. It seems I really am happy."
"Hmm, so what does it have to do with the meaning of life?"
Noah lowered his eyes, looking at the dark liquid in the glass.
My family is one of the reasons I live.
Hela pricked up her ears and listened intently.
"For me, protecting those important things is the meaning of my life, a meaning that even surpasses the meaning of my Life itself."
Hela was about to speak when Noah spoke up, anticipating her words.
"Of course, this is actually a sense of responsibility, just like my wife said, it's all for love."
"What if there are no feelings left?"
Hela repeated her fatal question once again.
"Have no idea."
"..."
Hela suddenly felt an urge to kill the person in front of her.
