<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“No, no.” Tiffany chose to refuse, of course.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, her refusal was… ineffective.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Richard picked her up horizontally and carried her into the bathroom.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Tiffany’s mouth was sealed by a scorching kiss before she could say anything.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Ugh…”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">‘Fine. Then… let him do whatever he wanted,‘ thought Tiffany.</font></font>This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">It was close to noon when Tiffany came out of her room, still a bit uneasy. She breathed a sigh of relief only after making sure that marks were fully covered by her clothes, and then she walked downstairs.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">June had been waiting all morning downstairs. When she finally saw Tiffanye down, she asked, “Miss Kelley, have we changed our schedule?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Tiffany was a little embarrassed.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She told June they were going out at 10 a.m. before she went to bed at 6 a.m.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Unexpectedly, Richard came, and she woke upte. Not only did she wake upte, but she also dawdled until this hour.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">‘It is all Richard’s fault, the culprit!‘ thought Tiffany.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Tiffany blushed and replied, “Um… I woke upte.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">June had no intention ofining and was just asking. Her heart ached for Tiffany for not sleeping the entire night, so when she saw Tiffany had yet to go downstairs at 10 a.m., she did not knock on the door to ask since she wanted Tiffany to</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">rest more.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">June smiled and said, “You must be hungry. Let’s put the schedule aside for now. Miss Kelley,e and eat.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Okay.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Tiffany walked to the dining table as instructed.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She heard footsteps from the staircase as soon as she sat down,</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Richard slowly walked downstairs.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">His handsome face was wless and captivating.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Richard’s aura was powerful. Almost the moment he appeared, everyone felt a sense of oppression. It was the inherent pressure and aura of a superior. He always attracted attention and made people want to submit wherever he went.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">June was stunned and asked in surprise, “Mr. Hampton is here?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Tiffany looked up, blinked, and greeted in surprise, “Eh, you’re here, too? What a coincidence.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Yes, what a coincidence,” said Richard.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Coincidentally, they were still having fun ten minutes ago.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Richard looked at Tiffany. His deep eyes were dyed with a faint smile.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He went downstairs after Tiffany, pretending not to know and pretending that Tiffany’ste wake–up was not because she wasn’t with him, which was what Tiffany had repeatedly ordered Richard to do before she went downstairs.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">So, others would not associate herte wake–up with him.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He could only indulge Tiffany who was adorably threatening him with her tiny fists.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Richard walked straight to Tiffany and sat down.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon seeing that, June immediately asked the maid to get another bowl and fork.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Richard raised his eyebrows and said, “No need. I’m full.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">His gaze did not leave Tiffany when he said so.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">‘What should I do? I always feel I can’t get enough of her every time I look at her… thought Richard.</font></font>
Tiffany red at him reproachfully, then lowered her head and ate seriously.
However, the tips of her ears turned red.
Richard curled his lips. The smile in his eyes did not diminish at all. “Honey, you have to eat more.”
‘Otherwise, you’re too light to hold. Besides… you don’t have much strength, thought Richard.
Tiffany was at a loss.
Of course, Tiffany understood what he was implying. She was choked instantly and coughed violently.
Upon seeing that, Richard pushed the water on the table over and stood up. He gently patted Tiffany’s back and sighed helplessly. “Eat slowly. I won’t snatch it from you.”
At the side, June sniggered when she saw that. Then, she waved to dismiss all the servants and left the dining room.
Garry and John also wanted to rush in when they heard Richarde, but June stopped them.
“Talkter if you have anything to say. There’s no hurry,” said June.
They were safe in the castle. With Richard’s arrival, Garry and the others had a backbone and did not have to worry anything else. They were sensible and did not continue to charge in.
There were only Tiffany and Richard in the dining room.
After drinking a ss of water, Tiffany’s choking feeling eased a little.
She looked around and saw no one.
Great!

Tiffany suddenly reached out and twisted Richard’s chest. She said angrily, “Bastard. You’re pretending to be obedient after taking advantage of me.”
However, Richard’s muscles were too firm. She could not twist it even though she tried hard…
Tiffany let go in defeat and turned her face away angrily.
Richard chuckled. “Huh? Did I say anything that would cause a misunderstanding?”
“You…”
Come to think of it, there wasn’t.
However, Tiffany felt guilty, so she felt there was another meaning behind his words. And… she understood it instantly.
Tiffany pursed her lips and lowered her head to continue eating
She was indeed hungry.
Richard sat aside and looked at her. His cold gaze became gentler.
He even handed Tiffany a napkin when she finished eating.
“Thank you,” said Tiffany.
She took it. After wiping her mouth, she asked, “By the way, you dealt with Felix before, and do you know his true strength?”
Regarding the person fromst night, there were no investigation results yet.
She asked June to investigate the transactions between Felix and Morwen, but she could not find anything.
‘Grandpa’s condition was critical. If I do not think of a way to treat his illness, I’m afraid…‘ thought Tiffany.
Upon hearing Tiffany’s words, Richard frowned and asked, “Why did you think of Felix again?”
His sour tone confirmed he was jealous.
Tiffany rolled her eyes and snapped, “Tell me quickly.”
“He’s so–so. Anyway, he’s not as good as me,” said Richard.
‘Why did Richard sound like a jealous child?‘ thought Tiffany.
The corner of Tiffany’s eyes twitched. She was angry and amused. “I’m serious. Tell me quickly.”
“So–so.”
Richard was serious this time, but whether he said it or not made no difference.
Tiffany sighed.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The difference in strength between her and Richard was huge. The ‘So–so‘ Richard mentioned was a height she could not reach now.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Tiffany thought for a while and then recounted everything that happenedst night.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Yesterday, that ck shadow appeared so suddenly that I didn’t even see what it was before a knife flew over. I dodged it and looked again, but that thing was already gone.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">It was not a machine that could attack her.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After thinking about it, she could only think of someone. And he must be someone with great strength, even with special abilities.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She had to be wary of that.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After listening to Tiffany’s words, Richard frowned as if worried about her experiencest night. After all, it was dangerous.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At the thought of that, he could only be d he hade overnight. Otherwise, who knew what would have happened if he had left Tiffany here alone?</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Richard sighed and replied, “Your concern is not misced, but that person can’t be Felix.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Why?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon hearing his confident tone, Tiffany was puzzled.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">‘Could it be my initial conjecture is wrong?‘ thought Tiffany.</font></font>
