Manfred stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the night of the city with a glass of
wine. His eyes gradually narrowed, and he muttered to himself, “You want to take what I like?
Absolutely not!”
His eyes gradually got back to focus. Manfred picked up the wine glass and gulped down the liquid.
Timothy looked at Felicia who was still asleep and tucked her quilt corner. He then walked out of the
room quietly.
Standing on the stairs, looking at Armand waiting below, Timothy walked down and asked, “Have you
dealt with Daphne?”
Armand nodded, “Yes. Daphne has been warned.”
Timothy nodded slightly, “Okay, good job. Now you can go and rest.”
“Boss...”
Timothy muttered to himself, “I should have supervised that girl, to make sure she take the medicine...”
“Boss, what happened last time has been investigated, and Hurricane Hall from Europe was involved.”
“Huh?” Timothy was attracted and raised his eyes to look at Armand, “Ha, even Hurricane Hall is
contending with us.”
“Presumably it’s our extension into Italy that attracted the attention of Hurricane Hall. They also want to
defend the territory there. Boss, they should not be underestimated. In the past ten years, they have
developed very rapidly. They could be even stronger than the Mafia.”
Timothy squinted his eyes and muttered, “Strengthen our security for now. And help my master with
security. Felicia is the only daughter of my master, and she is easy to become the main target of the
enemy's attack. Arrange our men to keep an eye on Felicia, I mean every single movement of her.
Make sure of her safety! Don’t let the descendant of my master suffer even a little bit of damage.”
“Understood, boss!”
Timothy knocked on the table, “Hurricane Hall changed its boss a few years ago. I don't know who is in
charge now.”
When Rylee opened her eyes, it was already bright outside.
With the sun shining, she could tell that it’s another sunny day.
“Oh, it’s a sound sleep.” Rylee sat up and yawned comfortably.
Suddenly, Rylee squinted and turned to looked at her arm, confirming that she actually raised it up
while yawning. “What? Did I become numb? But my arm doesn't hurt anymore! It can’t be this magical,
huh?”
Rylee quickly put down her arm but still moved it from side to side. It really didn’t hurt at all!
Holy cow!
Was that Doctor Taylor a magician?
Rylee smiled and muttered to herself, “Mr. Wheeler, although he has a bad temper and says mean
things all the time, he is still useful.”
Her clothes were already dry and neatly laid out on the table. Rylee hummed and got herself clean.
“Oh my God, I actually slept until nearly ten o'clock. Oops, sorry for oversleeping.” While smiling, Rylee
walked out of the bedroom and saw the busy Manfred in the dining room. She managed an awkward
smile.
“It's okay, I just woke up too. How is your arm? Does it still hurt?”
Manfred was very skilled at making omelets. The fragrant fried noodles with seafood were ready and
placed on the table.
Rylee bent over to smell the scent of fried noodles and replied, “Well, it really doesn't hurt anymore,
don't worry.”
It seemed that the taste of fried noodles should be very good.
While Manfred was not paying attention, Rylee picked up a few of them with her hands and quickly put
them in her mouth.
Wow, Manfred can really become a senior chef!
It was amazeballs!
Manfred came out with the omelets. His slender figure wrapped in an apron, looking cute and warm.
“Have you washed your hands?”
“I have!” Rylee stood, raising her small hands, “Smell them if you don’t believe me. There is still the
fragrance of hand sanitizer.”
Rylee just said it with no exact purpose. Unexpectedly, Manfred really leaned over and smelled Rylee's
hands. When his nose touched Rylee's fingers, Rylee immediately retracted her hand in panic.
Manfred smiled and nodded, “Well, you really washed it. Okay, kids who have washed their hands can
eat.”
“Oh, yeah! I can finally have breakfast! Actually, I wanted to eat the noddle a long time ago, but I didn't
have chopsticks.”
“Nice try. You thought I didn't see what you’ve done just now? You secretly ate it with your hands.”
“No, I really didn't!”
The two talked and laughed, enjoying this simple breakfast in a cozy atmosphere.
After eating, Manfred cleaned the dishes and the kitchen.
Rylee found her phone and called Joseph Hans.
“Damn you, Joseph Hans. You get yourself in trouble on picking up girls sooner or later! You're no
longer my friends!” Rylee yelled angrily, and cut off the call with Joseph Hans.
“What's wrong? Who messed up with you?” Manfred asked, wiping his hands.
“Oh, I want to buy a pair of bunny earmuffs and a scarf, but Joseph Hans said that he has no time to
accompany me. And he is going to date with girls again! What an asshole! If I see him tomorrow, I will
punch him first!”
Rylee squinted her eyes, like Bruce Lee, in a cool posture of cutting someone's head.
Manfred chuckled softly, “Ah, I thought it was something serious. You want to buy earuffs and a scarf?
I'll accompany you. Let's go. “
Rylee opened her eyes and stammered in disbelief. “Wait, what?”
She was okay to bother Joseph, but she was absolutely embarrassed to bother Manfred.
Manfred bent over, his handsome face almost touching Rylee's. He then smiled and said, “Why? I'm
not qualified enough? I promise to be a non-complaining attendant, alright? I will definitely not bother
you when shopping!”
“You have so many things to do...”
Manfred stretched out his hand to squeeze Rylee's face, and said fondly, “Nothing is more important
than you. Let's go.”
Rylee was dragged out of the house by Manfred with a messy mind.
The two came to the shopping street where young girls gathered.
There are many things that girls like there, such as accessories, bags, and cosmetics.
“Wow, look at there. That boy is so handsome!”
“His eyes are so charming!”
“Like a movie star. Is he a star?”
Many girls stared at Manfred, chirping.
Rylee coughed and said to Manfred next to him, “Hey, did you see that? The women are looking at
you!”
Going out with a handsome man was an annoying thing. She was too embarrassed to look at
everything carefully. She was afraid it may cause traffic jams.
Girls nowadays are really cheeky. They almost rushed over when they spot a handsome man.
Rylee glanced at Manfred next to him, feeling nervous.
Manfred was indeed, handsome.
As a well-mannered boy, he was beautiful and charming. And his smile was even more tempting.
It was like a dream. Such a good man would love her? Could his confession to her be a coax to tease
her?
Manfred put an arm around Rylee's shoulder, protecting Rylee. He then lowered his head, whispered in
her ear, “Should I tell them that I am already taken? Should I tell them that if they stared at me again,
my girlfriend would be angry?”
Rylee's cheeks blushed all of a sudden, and she replied quickly, “You mustn't do that. Or I'll feel so
embarrassed!”
Girlfriend?
Did he just say that she is his girlfriend?
Oh my dear lord.
Manfred and Rylee chose a set of pink bunny earmuffs, a pair of gloves and a scarf together.
Rylee put on them. When she looked in the mirror, she turned around to show Manfred naturally, “How
about it? Does it look good?”
Manfred was stunned!
“Hey...” Rylee shook Manfred.
Manfred said while staring at her, “My Rylee... is so beautiful!”
Rylee lowered her head shyly and rubbed her shoes.
The thought of Timothy suddenly came to her mind. Rylee murmured, “But why didn't Timothy say that I
was pretty?”
Mr. Wheeler always said that she couldn't do this, or she wasn’t good at that, blablabla. He said that
she was so ugly that she needed more than a dozen plastic surgery to fix herself. He also said that he
would rather go to see a supermodel than to look at her.
Well, with all the bullshit from Timothy, she directly regarded herself as an ugly woman.
“What are you saying?” Manfred cupped Rylee's face with his hands.
Rylee gave a dry laugh and said, “Nothing.”
Manfred took Rylee's little hand and walked along the street together.
Many people stopped to see this couple of handsome man and beautiful woman.
The man was tall and handsome.
Although the girl was not tall, her facial features were delicate.
“Rylee! What do you think of this dress?”
Manfred took Rylee into a shop specializing in couple clothing.
Rylee looked around and said, “Oh, these are all couple outfits.”
“Yeah, so we have to take a look.” Manfred turned and smiled at Rylee. Rylee's heartbeat speeded up
at that moment.
Couple outfit!
Is she going to wear a couple outfit with Manfred?
Pressing one hand on her chest, Rylee glanced at Manfred secretly and snickered.
“Oh, these clothes are too expensive. It's trying to rip us off! Humph! And you, why do you have to buy
it? I said it was too expensive. But you just didn't listen.”
Rylee grumbled and walked out of the store.
Manfred took Rylee's hand and softly tapped on it twice. He then looked at himself, and said happily,
“It's not expensive. Besides, don't underestimate me. I can earn money to support the family. You can
buy whatever you want in the future. Don't you worry.”
Rylee murmured embarrassedly, “Who's worrying?”
Both of them were wearing black and white striped T-shirts with a cute tongue-out dog in the middle.
Rylee suddenly noticed a few people walking in front of her. After thinking for a moment, she
immediately took the initiative to hug Manfred's arm.
Manfred shuddered. His heart was beating fast. He can’t help looking down at the little girl leaning on
him.
Rylee raised her face and smiled at him.
Manfred heard his heart pounding wildly in his chest.
It didn't even need her to take the initiative; with just a smile from her, he felt in heat immediately.
“Manfred, bend over.” Rylee's lips curled up in a mischievous but enchanting smile.
“Hmm?” Manfred flushed, bent over obediently, and approached closer to Rylee.
