LittleNovelChapter 277 Man VS Boy After getting home, I told Eric about my plans to take Zeke to the amusement park on Saturday.
"So, I won't be able to practice self-defense that day," I said, feeling a little regretful.
Eric raised an eyebrow. "That's what you're upset about?" I nodded and turned to him. "What else? I've only had two days of training, and now, it's already getting interrupted." He sighed helplessly and stared atfor a few seconds. Just when I thought he was about to walk away, he suddenly said, "I'm going too." "Huh?" I looked at him in confusion. "You're going to the amusement park with us?" No matter how I looked at it, Eric didn't strikeas the type who would enjoy such places. However, his expression remained unchanged as he nodded. "Yup. I'm going." He then added mischievously, "What? Am I not welcome?" I quickly waved my hands and wiped away my confused look. "Of course not! I'm just surprised you want to calong. I thought you didn't like these kinds of places." Eric fell silent for a moment before saying, "Well, I wasn't interested in the past, but it also depends on who I go with." Before I could even process his words, he had already turned around and walked upstairs.

Eric and I arrived at Mr. Simpson's house to pick up Zeke.
The moment he saw Eric, Zeke pouted in dissatisfaction. "Jane, why is someone else ruining our talone?" I chuckled and glanced at Eric, then leaned down to whisper in Zeke's ear, "It's too dangerous for just the two of us to go out, so I found a knight to protect us." Hearing my explanation, Zeke finally nodded in approval and stretched out his hands toward me. Before I could figure out what he wanted, Eric crouched down and picked him up instead.
Zeke frowned immediately, crossing his arms in defiance. "I want Jane to carry me! What are you doing, you big oaf?" I couldn't hold back my laughter when I heard Zeke call Eric an "oaf".
Even Eric himself looked stunned.
Judith quickly gave Zeke a glare, then turned toapologetically. "I have no idea where he learns these things." She then looked at Zeke sternly. "Call him Eric. He's Jane's husband." The second she said that, Zeke seemed shaken to his core as if kis entire world was crumbling down around him. He immediately struggled to get down from Eric's arms.
However, Eric held him firmly, effortlessly preventing him from escaping. With Zeke in his arms, he casually strode out.
I quickly smiled to ease the tension and turned to Mr. Simpson and Judith. "The amusement park opens early, so we'll head out now. I'll send you svideos later." With that, I quickly chased after them.

"Did you hear that? I'm Jane's husband. His tone carried an unmistakable hint of smugness. "So, I'm not the one ruining your alone twith Jane. You're the one ruining ours."
Hearing this, my heart skipped a beat. Pretending I hadn't heard an thing, I quickly walked over and said, "Alright, let's go." The moment we got into the car, chaos erupted. Zeke insisted on sitting next to me, but Eric refused to allow it. Of course, Eric won in the end.
Zeke ended up trapped in his arms, unable to move.
I sighed in exasperation and looked at Eric. "Why are you acting like a child?" From the way Eric and Levi constantly bickered with each other, I had long noticed that despite Eric's usual cold and serious at work, he actually had a playful side
in private. And seeing him with Zeke today just confirmed what already suspected.
Zeke, still pouting, looked up at Eric.
"Yeah! Why are you acting lik@aM child?!' the real kid here! You're supposed to letwin!"
