Chapter 611 Changing The Course Of The Future

He could quickly tell that Caretaker Shani was doing her best to eliminate everything that could negatively impact her emotions and work as a Caretaker. However, he couldn't allow her to take this route, as he was sure that if she kept getting rid of them one by one, it could strain her relationship with her son.

After all, above everything, her son must hold the most significant bond and memory between her and her husband.

Wait a minute!

Orion's eyes widened as a wave of understanding hit him. Instantly, his gaze became focused as he directed it at Caretaker Shani. n0vεlb1n

"Caretaker Shani, the girl I saw earlier, how often does she come here to care for your son?" Orion asked.

Caretaker Shani's behaviour suddenly became slightly suspicious as she responded, "She only started coming a few days ago to take care of Rick while I focus my attention on the farm. I need to properly handle the situation with the crops and the conflict between the tree nymphs and the villagers, which should return to the peaceful way it was before, especially now that Saria has returned to the farm."

"Because I've been a little busy attending to the situation on the farm, she arrives early in the morning after I've fed him his breast milk and stored more for him later. She takes care of him throughout the day until I return home," she said.

However, as she continued to speak, Orion could hear her voice getting fainter and fainter, "...by that time, he has already gone to sleep, so I tuck him in and then prepare for tomorrow."

'Shit,' Orion cursed inwardly.

He berated himself for not noticing it earlier.

If things continued like this in the future, he feared that the strain already building on the relationship between Caretaker Shani and her son could turn her into a cold individual with no attachment to anything around her. Such an outcome would be detrimental not only to herself and those around her but also to the Village and the farm, given her role as one of the key figures.

The mere thought of a cold and expressionless Caretaker Shani made Orion's hair stand on end.

He remembered the banter between the Village Chief and Stronghold Leader Zogar in the meeting and couldn't help but feel a little confident as he had finally succeeded in attaining the status he wanted within the Village and now only needed enough strength to back it up.

Caretaker Shani's eyes widened upon hearing Orion's words.

However, she quickly regained her composure, remembering that Orion's status within the Village had risen, possibly even reaching that of the key figures. The only thing he needed now was a seat to solidify his position further.

Realizing there was no way to refuse his request, she nodded. "Alright, tomorrow I will prepare so we can follow you to the Village."

Orion nodded with a smile. "Okay, it's settled," he said, shifting his attention to the bowl of breast milk in front of him.

Slowly bringing it to his lips, he sipped it, enjoying the taste. He couldn't help but think it would pair well with a Kalna fruit.

Nevertheless, within a minute, Orion finished the breast milk from the bowl.

Witnessing this, Caretaker Shani instantly chuckled.

"If you're like this, I don't think your partners would have to worry about wasting breast milk at home," she teased.

Trying to hold back her laughter, she added, "Hold on, let me help you refill it," before stretching her hand to collect the bowl from Orion and bringing it closer to her breast to refill it.

As she did, Caretaker Shani proceeded to recount everything that had taken place in her life since she got back with her son up until now.

Orion listened and conversed with her until it was about time for him to head home.
