"John, finished with your work?"
Lin Ke stood up with a smile and looked at the courteous, handsome young man at the door.
John thumped his chest and smiled, "Not finished, young master, but reporting back to you is more important."
Lin Ke did not perform the chest-thumping gesture but went straight up and gave John a hug.
"Haha, no need to be formal."
Lin Ke laughed heartily, feeling quite happy.
Everyone present was very envious.
Everyone knew that Duke of Lava, Lin Ke, only hugged John.
Madam Antova and biological mother Fulon were females, so it was not suitable.
As for Garoce? Lin Ke had never hugged him.
Thus, the documented hug record included only John.
Expressing longing and affection through a hug is a mark of close kinship and trust.
To Lin Ke, John's status is almost equivalent to a younger brother, even closer than a blood brother in some sense.
"Come, sit down, we are discussing matters related to the Magic Net and religion, share your thoughts."
