Caroline looked at Manfred silently, "You can go, there's a nurse here to take care of me," she said
bitterly.
"Huh? It's all right, I'll stay to accompany you here, have a good rest," Manfred said as he looked up at
Caroline.
Caroline then drew her arm from the blanket and pulled on Manfred's sleeve, which startled him and
caused him to look at her strangely.
"Manfred, I'm sure you're aware of my feelings for you; could you please don't dismiss them? Please
take a look at me and you will see my goodness; just give it a shot, will you?" Caroline exclaimed, her
gaze fixed on Manfred.
Manfred was rendered speechless by her words. The hospital night was filled with loneliness and
bitterness.
"You're such a moron that he obviously sees you as a little sister rather than a woman. Don't put it off
any longer; take action, drug him, and have sex with him. What has been done cannot be undone; he
will no longer have an excuse to push you away, silly!"
Felicia was deep in thought after the phone call. 'Aphrodisiac? Drug Timothy?'
On TV, those who were given an aphrodisiac drug would go insane and crave for sex no matter what.
"Should I drug Timothy?" Felicia spoke to herself as she rolled over and stared blankly at the ceiling,
picturing Timothy coming on her after the drug, breathing quickly, being horny, and...
Timothy, she imagined, would pick her up and throw her on the bed, strip her naked, and spend a wild
lustful night with her...
"I suppose I could use some of these drugs, but where can I get some?" Felicia bit her lower lip as she
considered where she could obtain such a drug.
Deborah yelled at Rylee as soon as she stepped inside Carroll's Manor, "Rylee Carroll, who allowed
you to attend the ball? You are not invited; how shameless could you be to attend the ball without being
invited?"
Rylee squinted her eyes, her guards raised like a hedgehog. "I was invited to the ball by someone else
because you are not the only human being on this planet; there are many kind people out there."
"What makes you want to go to the ball? You will only bring shame to the Carroll family!" Deborah was
enraged.
Brook, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa, glared at Deborah, "Enough, why are you making such
a racket at this hour?" He grumbled.
"She will only seduce men in the ball, I don't care, she's your daughter, keep an eye on her and don't
make us the laughingstock of the town!" Deborah grumbled softly before going upstairs.
Andrea and Daphne sat silently on the other side of the sofa. Andrea bit her lip and stared at Rylee,
while Daphne crossed her legs and waited to be entertained by what might happen later.
Rylee smiled coldly as she looked at Brook "Is there anything else you want to say to me? If so, please
do so in front of everyone because it will make you feel better."
Brook was stunned before waving his hand and saying, "You are a grown-up, I won't lecture you
anymore, go get some rest."
Rylee then raised her chin and looked at Andrea before heading upstairs. She pretended to enter her
room but quickly exited, hiding behind the wall and eavesdropping.
"Dad, why did you just let her go like that? You were upset, weren't you?" Andrea grumbled while
Daphne remained silent.
Brook exhaled a sigh, "Deborah stated that she saw Rylee enter with Timothy. Lecturing her may be
beneficial to her, but if she brings it up in front of Timothy, it will all be my fault. Timothy is someone I
cannot afford to offend."
"You should at the very least warn her not to seduce Manfred because you intend to marry Caroline to
Manfred. Deborah, on the other hand, agreed to it."
"Don't worry, their wedding will take place soon. If Manfred wants to take over my company, this is one
of the terms. That's all for today; go to bed now. We need to get up early tomorrow."
…
Rylee dashed back into her room when she heard that. After locking the door behind her, she gradually
fell to the ground against the wall.
'What did Brook say? He wants Manfred to marry Caroline? What on earth is going on? They chastised
me for being immoral when I get close to Manfred, but allowed or even arranged for him to marry
Caroline? And if this happens, Manfred will no longer be my uncle?'
Because of this news, Rylee's head felt like it was exploding. 'Why does destiny always make a fool of
me, snatching away everything I have? And now you want to take away Manfred, who is like a mother
to me?'
Rylee began to tremble as she wrapped her arms around her body and sat down on the floor, sad. She
planned to question Manfred about it when he returned.
"I'm sure Manfred will balk at this! He will never agree to marry Caroline! Without a doubt! I believe in
him!" Rylee dozed off as she comforted herself with those words over and over.
The next day, she awoke in the morning. Her body ached from sleeping on the floor the night before.
"Oh gosh, I fell asleep on the carpet last night! My back ached, and my legs cramped!" She yawned
and stretched her body as she slowly stood up while cursing.
And she froze in the middle of stretching, wondering if Manfred had returned.
She dashed into Manfred's room, barefoot, only to discover that it was empty, with no sign of Manfred
having slept there the night before.
Rylee was disappointed with what she saw, so she looked down and slowly turned around.
"Why didn't you knock before you came in?" A gentle voice and a smile could be heard from behind.
"Manfred, you're back!" Rylee said abruptly. She said this while smiling, but her smile was cut short
when she noticed Manfred was topless and about to put on a shirt.
Though Manfred appeared skinny, he was quite masculine topless, and he had muscles on his chest
as well! Rylee flushed immediately upon seeing this.
"Oh, I was in a hurry just now, go get changed, I'll wait outside," she said as she walked towards the
door.
"It's all right," Manfred said abruptly, grabbing her hand, his topless body stuck behind Rylee.
He was quick; they weren't that close, but he was able to sprint up to her in a split second.
Manfred turned Rylee's body over, facing him, while she was thinking about this.
"I said I don't mind you being here, in fact, I'm pleased to have you here," Manfred said as he looked
down at her.
Rylee didn't look up; her attention was fixed on his stomach, his abs...
Rylee was turned on by his abs, she began swallowing her saliva thinking how good Manfred's body
was. It was a body of a model and was a fatal seduction for having such a gorgeous body.
…
Women could be lustful too!
"I better get out and let you change." She had an odd feeling that she was taking advantage of
Manfred.
"It's a good opportunity for you to check on your future husband's body, to see if you are satisfied with
it," he teased Rylee as he put her hand on his chest.
"Ah!" Rylee let out a light scream as her hand touched his skin and quickly drew her hand back, "What
are you on about? Husband? You're such a jerk!" She blushed, turned away, and placed her hands on
her rapidly beating heart.
Although it was brief, Manfred's chest felt good on her hand, with the muscles and firmness. Rylee's
face darkened as she reflected on this. Despite his toughness, he was still slightly weaker than
Timothy. Timothy's muscles were beautifully sculpted, every single one of them firm, and he was such
eye candy, a very sexy one!
'Why am I thinking about Timothy now? And how about comparing him to Manfred? I must be insane,
am I?'
Manfred hugged her from behind, his head chin on her shoulder, his lips near her earlobe, while she
was thinking all of this, "Is it true that I am your future husband? Please don't abandon me as my only
wife option," he muttered.
His warm breath hit her ear, numbing her entire body as if she were electrocuted. "Stop this
immediately or I'll leave!" She said, a little nervously.
"Don't leave! I'll be good. Will you come to help me dress? Please?" Manfred snatched her hand, acting
all cute.
"Why would you need me to dress you, are you an infant or something?" Rylee asked, her pulse racing
as she looked into his smiley eyes.
"I just want you to familiarize yourself with your future task, okay?" Manfred said as she placed her
hands on his chest.
Rylee flushed again, this time more intensely, upon hearing that. What was it? Future task? It was
embarrassing.
