Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1201

Andrew ignored Archie's desperate pleas for mercy and turned to Cecelia with a grin. "Cece, what do you think? Should we spare this big, bad guy?"

Cecelia pumped her fist excitedly and shouted, "Andrew, I don't think we should! We should string him up and hit him with every torture technique from the Dark Ages! That would be so much more satisfying!"

Andrew froze for a moment, thinking to himself that this little girl had quite a vicious streak.

Lauren scolded playfully, "Cece, hush! You're a girl! Where do you even come up with such twisted ideas?"

Tiana also called out, "Cece, come here, sweetheart! You need to remember that those old, brutal punishments are outdated and barbaric. They have no place in today's world!"

Cecelia pouted and muttered, "But Mom, Lauren, don't you even want to see it just once? I saw the drawings in a history book—it looked so bloody and wild!"

Jameson's face twitched as he forced a smile and said to Andrew, "Andy, you better take it from here. This kid… her mom and I have definitely spoiled her rotten!"

Cecelia lifted her chin proudly and giggled, "Dad, you got it all wrong! What you should say is: 'Well, we botched this character build with her. Guess it's time to start a new save file!' That way, you guys can just give me a baby brother already!"

Lauren chuckled helplessly and quickly explained to Andrew, "Andrew, I'm sorry you had to see this. Cece's been begging for a little brother for years!"

Of course, Andrew just laughed it off and did not take a child's words seriously. He turned to Logan and said casually, "Alright, that's enough. I didn't really lose anything here anyway, so I'll head out."

After saying that, he got into the car with the Rhodes family and drove away.

Logan called out with a laugh, "Hey, Andrew, come by the house sometime! Father keeps asking about you!"

Andrew said, "We'll see."
