Chapter 681 Do Not Return Home Yet

• As James absorbed Joseph's cautionary words to Scarlet about being vigilant on their way home, a rush of realization flooded Joseph's mind. It dawned on him just in the nick of time why he had hurriedly sought out James moments earlier.
• With a sense of relief washing over him, he grasped the gravity of the situation. If Scarlet were to bring Zacharias back home with her, they would undoubtedly encounter trouble.
• Upon hearing Joseph's plea for them to delay their return home, she couldn't suppress her growing unease. "Joseph, why can't we go home? What happened?" she questioned, her tone tinged with worry.
