Chapter 1867
Consequently, Stefan and Renee went their separate ways.
Stefan went out to look for Adie while Renee was convinced Adie was just out playing and would come back soon.
Renee decided not to worry about it, and went to cook dinner with Abby.
Meanwhile, Adie was safe and sound.
He held Tiffany's hand as they climbed up the steep path, eventually arriving at the cave where Adie and his family had found the
treasures earlier.
"What do you think? Isn't this place fun? We're alone here, so no one can find us," Adie announced proudly.
He got his adventurous streak from Renee and his courage from Stefan.
Having grown up on Sun Island which had many types of complicated terrains and caves, Adie had developed a love of
exploring caves from a young age.
When Stefan and Renee had stopped him from going into the cave earlier, it had made him long to explore it even more, which
was why he had eagerly returned to it.
"Is this cave safe? It looks so dark and deep..." Tiffany asked hesitantly as she stood at the entrance of the cave.
"My daddy and mommy went in, so it has to be safe.
It just looks scary because it's dark." Adie stared into the cave, his eyes gleaming in excitement.
"If you're scared, you can just wait here for me.
I'll come out after exploring it a bit." He seemed determined to explore the cave.
Although Tifffany looked delicate, she was actually quite stubborn.
She planted her hands on her waist and said defensively, "I'm not scared! I'm used to the dark, so I'm not scared at all!" "Then,
let's go in together..." Adie held his hand out to her, then snickered.
"Don't worry—I won't say a word when you cry later." "IT won't cry! And I...
1 don't want to see you cry either!" Tiffany pouted and stormed into the cave without taking Adie's hand.
She wasn't lying when she said she was used to the dark.
Ever since she was two years old, she had lived in the dark.
In the beginning, she cried and cried until her throat became sore, but eventually, she grew to love the darkness.
The only thing she could hear was the sound of her breathing, and it calmed her.
She boldly walked deeper into the cave, looking like a fish in water.
Adie and Tiffany walked deeper into the cave and eventually arrived at the innermost part of it.
They used torches to light the way, and once they found a flat area, they sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Adie, let's play a game, okay?" Tiffany suggested, her eyes bright with excitement.
"What game?" Adie asked curiously.
Initially, he thought Tiffany would be scared, but that hadn't been the case at all.
In fact, he was the one who yelped in fear when he stepped on mud, thinking it was something else.
"Let's play rock, paper, scissors.
The loser has to tell the winner a secret," Tiffany said eagerly, comfortable in the dark cave.
"Sure, I like that game." Adie nodded, intrigued.
"I want to know all your secrets!"
