Chapter 22 What Do You Feel Toward Uncle Arthur?

• That day at school, Erin told Isabelle about the case of the ‘missing gift’ the moment Isabelle walked into class. Isabelle fell silent for nearly 10 seconds. Her expression was filled with a series of complicated emotions as she gazed at Erin. “Erin, what do you feel toward your Uncle Arthur?” she asked in a cautious tone.
• Erin was taken aback by the question. I’m telling her about the missing gift; why is she talking about my Uncle Arthur? Erin gave the other girl a confused stare. Despite feeling baffled, she responded to Isabelle’s question. “Uncle Arthur’s like a father to me; I respect him and I’m very dependent on him.”
• “Is that it? Is he nothing more than an elder to you?” Isabelle stared at Erin.
