A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 922 Let’s cooperate

But Leon never thought that this incident could become an excuse for Abigail to attack Helena.

Is Helena angry?

of course!

Because Leon clearly felt that his arm around Helena was being clamped tightly, and it felt a little numb and painful.

Obviously, any woman would care about her age, even though mermaids are considered immortal compared to humans, and even though Helena's appearance is in her prime without makeup.

"Not really an elder, but if you must call her that, sister should be a suitable title. What do you think?"

Although Abigail's reminder was indeed somewhat lethal, Helena was not a pushover. Even when she was angry, she kept smiling and began to defend and counterattack according to Abigail's words.

"Sister? That won't do. After all, you are Her Majesty the Queen. I dare not marry someone of my stature." Abigail shook her head and politely declined the proposal.

The title of sister cannot be accepted casually. Accepting it would be equivalent to lowering yourself, and Abigail is well aware of this.

"We're all family, so there's no need to worry about the difference in status." Helena couldn't help but smile as she continued, "And like you said, I'm older than you, so I need to take care of you. Calling us sisters will make us seem closer."

At this point, Helena glanced at Leon, who was completely lost in thought, like a clay sculpture, and asked, "What do you think?"

"Ah? What?" Leon came back to his senses instantly, then looked at Helena in confusion, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Helena was speechless about Leon's pretense of being stupid, but since she had already planned to let Leon express his stance, she naturally did not intend to let this bastard go.

So after hearing Helena's retelling, Leon knew that his tactic of pretending to be stupid had failed, but he could still try to smooth things over.

"I agree with the family's point of view, but I think you are still not familiar with each other. Perhaps you can spend some time together to get to know each other better before deciding on these changes in address."

If you don't make a final statement, you won't offend either side. Although this may offend both sides, it is definitely much less stressful than taking sides.

After all, if both sides are angry, it is equivalent to neither side being angry. Just brush the matter aside first, and the cost of coaxing them afterwards can be ignored.

Helena listened to her man's perfunctory words and squeezed Leon's arms harder and harder. Although she didn't respond strongly verbally, these small actions were enough to express her dissatisfaction.

Abigail was not very satisfied with Leon's neutrality, but with Helena by her side, it was not easy to cause trouble for Leon. She just glanced at Leon coldly and gave him a threatening look.

Lyon is feeling extremely tormented at the moment. Although both sides are being restrained, the atmosphere is full of oppressive confrontation. He is now caught in the middle of it and the pressure is really great.

"Sister Abigail, brother, and Sister Helena, what are you doing here?"

Just as Lyon's mind was racing, trying to find a suitable reason to slip away, a greeting like the sound of nature made Lyon feel that salvation had arrived.

Sophia's energetic greeting instantly drew the attention of the three people present to her. Abigail took the lead in holding Sophia's hand, expressing their intimacy.

Helena was also quite satisfied with the name Sophia. Compared to Abigail's targeting, this girl named Sophia seemed so well-behaved and pleasing.

Leon was the most delighted. The triangle provided stability, and Sophia's presence immediately became a fulcrum, easing the current atmosphere of conflict. "Sophia, you came to me because Guts needs help, right? I'll be right there!"

Leon said, and pulled his arm out of Helena's arm, which had temporarily relaxed, and then winked wildly at Sophia as a hint.

Sophia understood immediately and nodded to cooperate with Leon: "Yes, Uncle Gus said he wanted to prepare a grill for everyone to barbecue, so he asked me to come to you for help."

This appropriate reason made Leon see the dawn of escape from the quagmire in an instant. He was so grateful to Sophia in his heart. If Abigail and Helena were not beside him, he would have wanted to lift Sophia high up and kiss her hard to express his love.

"Then I'm going to go help Gus first. You guys chat first, and then we can come together to try my cooking later."

After saying this, Leon ran away directly, striding towards Gus with his legs. His speed was astonishingly fast. In two or three seconds, he had walked a distance of seven or eight meters and completely escaped from danger.

Sophia was quite proud when she saw Leon secretly giving her a thumbs up before leaving.

But when he saw Leon leave and Abigail and Helena's eyes began to shift to him, he suddenly became nervous.

"Sister Abigail and Sister Helena, you guys chat, I'll go help." Sophia, who was under a lot of pressure, hurriedly said.

Then, without caring about the two people's answers, she turned around and ran away. She had completed her mission and had no intention of facing the firepower of these two oppressive sisters. She had gained Leon's favor and could retire with honor.

To Sophia's surprise, she was not stopped from leaving and she escaped easily.

This made her happy, but she didn't dare look back at the two girls, so she didn't know that after Abigail and Helena were alone together, they huddled together, held hands, and started talking about themselves.

"This girl is very smart. It seems she has tricked the two of us."

There was no longer any tit-for-tat as before. At this moment, Helena and Abigail were chatting in an atmosphere as good as a pair of good sisters.

"If you hadn't put too much pressure on Leon, she wouldn't have come to help." Abigail still had a bad expression on her face, but she didn't shake off Helena's hand, but she didn't forget to put the blame on Helena.

"But you could have been more friendly before, but she didn't have that chance, right? Why did you have to make it so confrontational? There's no need for us to be so hostile. After all, we're still family after all. Are you going to give up Leon because of me?"

Helena was somewhat helpless about Abigail's attitude. After all, she was quite open-minded about this matter. It was a pity that Abigail was a little immature in this regard.

"No." Abigail shook her head, but didn't say anything extreme, obviously agreeing with Helena's statement.

"Let's cooperate. Just like we said when we first met, I need to spend most of my time managing my tribe under the sea, while Leon spends most of his time living on land. So you get much more than me, and I'm not angry. Don't you think it's unnecessary for you to compete with me?

Rather than causing trouble every time we meet like this, it's better to form a united front and guard against other threats. I don't think the three of us will be enough to make him change his mind."

Helena glanced at the temporary dance floor not far away and saw a blue-haired girl who had been observing this place and whose eyes moved away when Leon left, and spoke.

Noticing Helena's gaze, Abigail also noticed the target of Helena's attention. She frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"We can cooperate."
