"Don't use the same trick you used on Penny Evans on me." Hearing Carl's frivolous tone, Sever's face somehow became worse. It really didn't work. Carl muttered to himself that this method worked well for Lily, Penny, Mom, Dad, and the Evanses, but it only hit a wall on Sever.

"Okay, I won't say it." Carl had no choice but to get straight to the point. "It's my birthday at the end of this month. Sever, you will come, right?" His eyes sparkled. Could Sever refuse Carl, whose eyes were sparkling and not making trouble? Obviously he couldn't.

"Of course." But after Sever agreed, he saw that Carl was still a little hesitant, and felt that something was wrong. "Penny Evans will come too, right?"

Seeing that Sever took the initiative to say it, Carl immediately stuck to him and shook his arm. "It's only one day, Sever. It's not my birthday on other days. Can't you just get along with Penny?"

After hearing this, Sever looked like he had eaten tens of thousands of slugs. His face was neither up nor down, and it was extremely ugly. Seeing this, Carl continued to use a circling attack, circling around Sever while attacking with magic sound. In the end, Sever sighed, "Okay, only one day..."

"Great! Long live Sever!" Seeing Sever agreed, Carl was also happy and immediately put his arm around his shoulders, "Where are we going to play? It would be great if we were two years older now, so that we can go to Hogwarts."

"Let's go to your house. I found an interesting potion book. Do you want to read it?" Sever raised the book that just hit Carl's head, and Carl immediately replied, "Okay, okay!"

The two walked away side by side, and the sun stretched their shadows very long.

Time flashed and soon it was the end of the month. Carl's birthday party came as scheduled, but the atmosphere could not be said to be harmonious, but only tense.

There was a long table, with Sev and Carl sitting on the left and Penny and Lily on the right. Lily and Carl were smiling brightly, trying their best to liven up the atmosphere, but it was obviously useless. Sev and Penny still looked at each other coldly without saying anything, as if they were playing a game where whoever spoke would lose.

The atmosphere was so weird that even Leah, who was a bit nervous, noticed something was wrong. "I say, kids... don't your eyes get tired like this?" Leah's words were very stiff and awkward. Carl wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into after hearing it. Mom, if you can't liven up the atmosphere, don't do it. The atmosphere is even more awkward!

"It's okay, Aunt Leah."

"It's okay, Aunt Leah."

Sev and Penny spoke almost in unison. When they realized that the other party had said the same thing as them, they both snorted at the same time and turned their heads away from each other.

"Okay, then Aunt Leah will serve you the dishes. I roasted a chicken..." Leah tiptoed to the kitchen, muttering as she walked, "Is this okay?" She felt that if she stayed any longer, the atmosphere would definitely get worse.

After arriving at the kitchen door, she poked her head and called her husband, "Cessi Cesi..." Cesi turned her head and saw her wife calling him furtively behind the door frame.

Cesi Cost Excel did not respond. What was Leah doing? Cesi turned off the stove and planned to go and see. When Leah saw Cesi coming, she immediately pointed at the children with her finger, "Don't you think their atmosphere is very subtle?"

Cessi took a look, then looked at his wife who was facing a great enemy, and smiled helplessly, "Maybe it's because the children are making trouble. Don't worry, dear, I'll take care of it. You go in and pour some sauce on the steak."

"Penny!" Cesi called Penny's name. Penny heard Cesi's voice and glared at Sever before running down from the chair.

"Liya said she tasted your cookies and thought they were very good, so she wanted you to guide her to bake them."

"You know that the cookies that Leah bakes are really..." Ceci lowered her voice, shook her head and looked helpless, "Dear..." Leah looked at her husband with fierce eyes.

Ceci blocked the view of the four children, and then made a shushing gesture to Leah, blinked and gave Leah a wink. Leah knew what he was going to do, so she stopped refutation and took Penny to the kitchen.

Carl squinted at his father who closed his eyes and started to make up lies, and Sever also showed a confused expression. As far as he knew, Aunt Leah's cookies were baked quite well.

"If you need me, I'm happy to!" Seeing the opportunity to show off her skills, Penny was very happy and immediately ran to the kitchen to help Leah, "Since there are two chefs in the kitchen, I'll be a little lazy." Ceci immediately sat down on the long table, raised an eyebrow and looked at Leah, with a sense of laziness

Liya spread her hands, "Okay, okay, if you want to be lazy, but I hope you don't avoid the dishwashing work after dinner, and do it with Carl."

"Yes, sir, obey your command." Ceci blew a kiss to Leah, and turned around after watching Leah walk into the kitchen, "Okay... Little guys, what are you quarreling about? Today is Carl's birthday, but your faces..." Ceci swept across the children's faces with different expressions but almost none of them were happy.

"If I didn't know that Carl was jumping around like a monkey, I would have thought he was seriously ill in bed or just lying in a coffin." Ceci suddenly seemed to think of something, pretending to pat Carl's shoulder solemnly.

"Oh my god, Carl, you are not seriously ill, are you? You are all hiding it from me because you are afraid that I will be heartbroken. Oh my god!" He covered his mouth with one hand, his voice trembling, but the traces of acting were very obvious. Because of his appearance, Lily, who was originally a little serious, burst out laughing. It was the first time she met Ceci. She was a little restrained just now, but now she is completely relaxed.

"Hey, Dad... Excuse me, am I your biological child? How could someone say such a thing at his son's birthday party? What happened to me in my previous life? Did I wipe out a race or start a war?" How could Carl not know what his father was doing, but he still cooperated with his performance. Sifu watched from the side and finally knew who Carl inherited this acting talent from.

"Maybe both?"

"Dad..." Seeing that Carl looked at him with some resentment, Ceci finally corrected his attitude.

"It's just that you little idiots are too serious. What's so serious that it makes you sigh at the birthday party?"

Sever remained silent. Although he felt a little relieved because of Penny's departure, he still didn't want to have too much communication with others. Carl looked at Sever with some concern, and didn't know how to tell him about Sever and Penny.

Lily raised her hand and told Cece everything.
