As the year-end approached, two unexpected guests arrived at the house.
One of them was an old acquaintance of Cherry, Mr. Ghost Hayes.
The other introduced himself as Taoist Priest Clarity, claiming to be a taoist priest from the White Cloud Temple on Mist Glow Mountain.
Cherry had no love for taoist priests. If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Ghost Hayes had taken her cat, she wouldn't have bothered coming out to meet them.
But the black cat didn't seem to miss her at all, lounging happily on Mr. Ghost Hayes' belly, lazily wagging its tail.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Mr. Ghost Hayes had been the one taking care of its daily needs, even sharing the same couch to sleep on. Besides, they'd been wandering outside together for over a month now, so its bond with Mr. Ghost Hayes naturally ran deeper than with Cherry.
Pets are pretty straightforward; whoever feeds them, they grow attached to.
Gavin Graves, however, focused more on Taoist Priest Clarity.
