LittleNovelChapter 275 The Scary Little Boy As soon as I arrived at the Simpson residence, I smoothly took out my access card and let myself in.
Unlike usual, when Mr. Simpson would be waiting forin the dining room downstairs, the first floor was eerily empty today.
I called out twice, but no one responded.
"How strange. Didn't we agree to sign the contract today? Why isn't anyone here?" I muttered to myself.

Just as I was lost in thought, I caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of my eye. I turned around cautiously. It was a young boy who looked no older than ten. He stood not too far away, staring atunblinkingly.
The suddenness of it nearly made my heart stop.
"Are you looking for Sebastian?" Before I could even speak, the boy beatto it.
I nodded. "Yeah. And you are..." He suddenly burst into laughter, walking towardwith a mysterious expression.
"I am Sebastian! There was an accident during one of my experiments, so I turned into a kid!" I had to admit that my mind was completely blown away for a second. Before my rebirth, I had always been a firm believer in science. But considering the fact that I had been reborn, who was I to say he was lying? "M-Mr. Simpson?" I hesitantly called out, then cautiously asked, "So... What do you needto do?" The boy responded calmly, "Helpget pudding from the fridge. I'm too short to reach it now." I nodded, then walked to the fridge and opened it. Just as I was about to grab the pudding, something clicked in my mind. I remembered very clearly that Mr. Simpson hated sweets.
In fact, he would lectureabout it if I added even the slightest bit of sugar whenever I cooked for him.
I slowly turned around and locked eyes with the boy. Testing the waters, I called out, "Mr. Simpson?" The boy looked visibly annoyed. "What now? Just givethe pudding already!" I smiled and asked, "Mr. Simpson, do you know who I am?" The boy froze a flicker of unease flashing across his face. Then, as if steeling himself, he straightened his back and declared, "It doesn't matter who you are! You have to givethat pudding! Otherwise, I'll have you kicked out of this house!" Hearing that, I immediately shut the fridge door and shouted at the top of my lungs, "Mr. Simpson! Your kid is bullying me!" The boy panicked, trying to cover my mouth. Unfortunately, he was too short.
Instead, he could only warnin a hushed tone, "Shush! Don't yell! Keep your voice down!" The next second, Mrs. Simpson's sharp voice echoed through the house. "Zeke Simpson! You're itching for a round of spanking, aren't you?" I glanced down at the boy. Meeting his gaze, I smiled and asked, "So, your nis Zeke Simpson, huh? That's quite an impressive name." The boy puffed out his chest proudly. "Of course! My grandpa picked it for me!" Then, he added, "The Mr. Simpson you keep talking about is my grandpa!" As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. and Mrs. Simpson walked into the dining room, only to see Zeke hiding behind me.
After hearing the full story, I finally understood.
