Odalys froze, and Percival’s body stiffened,
“Both of them abruptly turned their heads to look at Blossom, who was standing nearby. Then they glanced around at the familiar living room, sering Sienna, Dangelo, Harvey, and Celeste standing there as well.

intense glare of the car’s headlights made them instinctively turn their heads
As the car came to a halt, they saw none other than Evander and Clarence inside.
“Grandpa Orson’s eyes widened as he looked at the luxury car. He quickly stepped forward
Inside the car, the two elderly men sat frozen, staring blankly at the Tillery Villa. After a moment, they exchanged a glance, disbelief written all over their faces.
“We actually made it back Clarence muttered, his eyes filled with shock.
The moment Evander stepped out of the car, he had been convinced he was going to die, thinking his life was about to end. Yet, here they were, back again.
He reached our to open the car door but found it wouldn’t budge. It seemed all the functions of the car were locked, and he couldn’t unlock it.

“Grandpa, Percival said in a low voice.
It took Evander a while to come back to his senses. He looked at Percivals figure, his lips trembling.

Percival said nothing, simply extending his hand to help Evander out of the car. When Evander’s feet touched the ground, he finally felt like he had truly returned.
“Everything earlier had felt like a dream, too surreal to be real.
“Evander, Odalys called our sofily, stepping forward.
She stood in front of him, the faint glow of the streetlamp falling on her, elongating her shadow. Her beautiful face tilted upward, appearing especially striking against the dark night.
“You saved me just now Evander’s voice was very bitter. If not for Odalys, he would have died.
“Odalys took his arm and, along with Percival, helped him walk toward the living room. Harvey and the others watched this scene unfold and quickly spoke up. “Since everyone is here, let’s start dinner. The food is still warm,” Harvey said.
Yes yes, let’s eat,” Sienna added hastily.
“The moment Percival and Odalys returned, the eerie fog around the Tillery Villa dissipated, as if it had all been an illusion.
“Had tlary not witnessed Odalys and Percival vanish into the fog, had they not been rooted to the spot, trapped in the living room, perhaps they

He had looked into the surveillance footage after learning the car disappeared.
The footage showed a fog appearing halfway through the journey. The same fog lad engulfed the Tillery Villa. Once the car drove into the fog, it vanished without reappearing on the road ahead..
This scene was 100 bizarre.
That was likely a fog formation and beyond the fog formation was a time tunnel,” Odalys explained softly.
When the words “time tunnel were spoken, everyone stopped eating, their movements frozen in shock.
They looked up abruptly, instinctively glancing at the group, their eyes filled with shock as if they’d misheard. After all, this kind of thing only existed in novels and TV shows.
lit up with excitement.
“Time tunnel Odalys, is it what I think it is! A tunnel that can take you to the future or the past?” Blossom’s eyes li
She immediately put down her fork, her face filled with eagerness as she gazed at Odalys.
“At this moment, her admiration for Odalys reached its peak. Odalys had always been the role model she had always idolized.
Because Odalys was extraordinary, because she seemed omnipotent, and because she knew everything Blossom longed to know.
“You could say that, Odalys replied calmly.
“Orson, stunned, dropped the piece of meat he had just picked up into his bowl. He quickly wiped his mouth, his disbelief evident. “Grandpa, did your car vanish in the fog because it drove into the time tunnel?” Orson asked breathlessly, almost tearing up from regret. “Just hearing about it was thrilling. He was fuming that he couldnt experience it himself
“Yes,” Clarence answered succinctly.
Hearing this, Orson tilted his head back, covering his forehead with his hand and giving it a few regretful slaps.
“Why didn’t
it anyone take me along! I should have gone with Percival carlier!” he lamented, so full of regret he wished he could turn back time.
To miss out on such an extraordinary event was maddening
“Do you think you could have gone in? When Percival walked directly into the fog, you did try to follow him. But, you got bounced right back,” Blossom retorted without hesitation.
“Cirson looked a lot embarrassed, even annoyed
“If he could get in because lae’s a virgin, then so can I. I’ve never been with a woman either! Why could he go in, and I couldn’t? And don’t get me wrong. I’m a perfectly upright man.” Orson declared, straightening up with a serious expression.
Odalys’s mouth twitched, and she instinctively turned her head to glance at him.
Faced with everyone’s puzzled gazes, Orson straightened his back even further. His face flushed slightly, and he coughed awkwardly. “Maybe I’m just too pure,” he muttered.
Blossom was sprechileis
The moral had already lost its original charm.
“The food was delicious, but no one was in the mood to eat. Everyone’s attention was focused on the mention of the “time tunnel,”
“The fog and the time tunel earlier were probably connected to the Stewart family,” Odalys explained, “You’re not a Stewart, so you couldn’t enter. As for your grandfather, it might be because he’s an elder. He treated Percival’s father like his own son in the past, so he was an exception and allowed entry”
She had a strong feeling that it was the familial bond that p

clutching their napkins as they listened intently.
“Whatever happens in the time tunnel cannot be altered or changed. The way you enter is the way you must leave. If you try to make changes, it will inevitably lead to death, Percival said gravely.
Odalys nodded.
She said, “Exactly. Earlier, when Evander tried to get out of the car to save someone, he was nearly burned alive. The air outside the car seemed to form a harmful barrier, attacking him directly.”
