"Hehe! I didn't expect you to come!" Oldman Barn grinned as he said it.
"I can't leave you. Besides, I think Miss Mona was right," Abel replied honestly. Also, deep inside, he thought that it would be much safer around a reliable ex-human than escaping alone.
Oldman Barn suddenly approached him. "Do you have a wife?" The old man suddenly whispered a question that could be considered out of the blue.
This stunned Abel. "Wha-!" He was somewhat taken aback by that unexpected question. And his face turned red in an instant. When he saw the grinning face of the old man, he let a sigh escape from his mouth. "I am still single because I realized early on the reality of life's difficulties. So I didn't have time to look for a partner."
Abel sounds so serious and made the old felt conflicted. The expression on his face expresses either pity or admiration to him.
