Connor made a bold move. He had no intention of hiding what they were doing.At the same time, Misty had no idea whether these people knew him.When Bruce's gaze swept past her, she was even more terrified. Her heart skipped a beat.Her whole body was shivering. Little did she notice she had subconsciously nestled up to Connor.There was a hint of delight in his eyes. His nonchalant gaze swept past Bruce."Enough, what are you looking at? Don't act like you've never seen a woman in decades!" Bruce yelled immediately after regaining his senses.He slapped Finn, who was teasing Misty earlier, on his head as he scolded, "We're here for business; not for you to hook up with ladies!"Covering his head, Finn replied sheepishly, "I wasn't going to hook up with her. I was just making a remark.""If you mess things up and end up letting him get away, you'll be very sorry!"Bruce shot a look at Finn.After that, he tapped the bat against his palm as he asked, "Hey, did you guys see a m
"You—Just how shameless are you?"Misty was taken aback, not expecting him to say such things.She couldn't help but express her frustration."I was trying to help you. How could you say that?"She finally realized how tall he was when he stood up. Trapped between his arms and the table, she seemed particularly petite.He was like a mountain that she could never get over.She had to admit that Connor looked quite intimidating. Everything about his expression and looks screamed bad vibes.Nonetheless, Misty was somehow certain that he wouldn't hurt her. Instead, he would tolerate and care for her.Thus, she felt wronged when she heard him. Tears were about to fall from her red-rimmed eyes as she glanced up at him.How could he be so ungrateful? How could he insult her like that when she helped him?Her tearful state indeed made her seem pitiable. It was as if she was trying hard to hold back her tears despite being wronged.Connor's heart couldn't help but melt when he recall
Mustering up her courage, she shot a look at Connor."Stop saying stuff that'll create misunderstandings. This isn't appropriate."Yet, he was triggered.The smile faded from his face as his expression darkened in a split second.Looking like someone had punched the living daylights out of him, he hissed, "Do you have any idea of what you're saying?"It turned out that she would rather two-time someone else than marry him.He couldn't figure out whether it was because she didn't fancy him, or she was simply a slut who enjoyed getting in between relationships.What was she thinking?Connor was certain that he was definitely better than Cedric and Robert."Am I not any better than your boyfriend?"There was a hint of hysteria in his eyes as he glared at her."I'm certainly not bad-looking, and my family is well off. How am I not any better than your boyfriends?"Or are they better than me in bed? But you've never had sex with me, how would you know if I'm worse than them?"C
Connor was a dangerous man. He couldn't care less about the social etiquette of the upper crust, and neither did he fear the law.He paid little attention to his image, and he wasn't concerned about the consequences of his actions.Thus, Misty didn't dare to provoke him. She no longer wanted to get involved with him anymore.The best way to get out of this situation was to make sure that they were even."No," Connor answered right away, his gaze growing intense.He refused her offer in an instant as he continued, "You saved me again today. I owe you now. There's no way that we are even. Plus …"His gaze swept past her as he drawled, "I don't think Zane's life has the same value as mine. I'm worth more than him."Misty frowned. She was incredibly flustered.Why in the world was he so eager to repay her?She had stated that she didn't need him to do so, yet he was willing to owe her. He was determined to be involved with her.Connor was incredibly attractive despite his menacin
Was it Hannah?Was Connor going to make a move against Hannah?The more Misty thought about it, the more her eyes shone with anticipation.She was afraid of Connor's ruthless, unrestrained, and unbridled actions when facing him.But when she thought about him going against Hannah, she felt joy and even looked forward to the development of the situation.On the other side, Hannah had no idea that she was being targeted.During this period, Molly had moved into the Winchester residence. The house became warmer due to that.Naomi, Nina, and Kaden absolutely loved staying by Molly's side.They even dug up a patch of roses in the backyard and moved them near the fence to make way for vegetables.After studying for a day, Hannah went downstairs to relax. She couldn't help but say, "What are you guys doing?""Grandma says that the vegetables we grow are the most delicious."Naomi's excited face was covered in mud. "Hannah, look! I planted these! I'll treat you to the green beans
Darren couldn't help but smile as well.Erica, who had returned with a watering can, saw their interactions and clenched her fists. She stood still for a moment, unsure whether to approach them.Just then, she noticed someone looking at her.It was Kaden. The youngest of the Winchesters was giving her a profound gaze.Erica's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly lowered her head. She walked over with the watering can and said, "I— I've brought the watering can.""Thank you, Erica!" Kaden smiled and took the watering can from her before saying, "We've plowed the soil here. You better don't come near to avoid dirtying your dress."After a pause, he asked, "Erica, is this dress new?"Among the Winchesters, Kaden seemed to be the most approachable.Unlike Anthony, who was indifferent, Andrew, who was proud, and Darren, who seemed aloof, Kaden was like a typical good teenager—handsome, obedient, and polite.He would address her politely and inquire about Molly's well-being. He
Erica didn't know what psychological state she was in, but subconsciously, she didn't want others to find out."I … I'm not unhappy. I'm very happy."Her face showed a bit of embarrassment. She was used to touching the ends of her hair instinctively to soothe her uneasiness. But she couldn't touch her hair as it was tied up in a bun. Her embarrassment intensified at the failed attempt. She just awkwardly raised her hand and rubbed the back of her head stiffly.She had heard that Hannah had come from the slums.Why was Hannah's long hair glossy and smooth, while hers was dry and frizzy and felt like a handful of grass?It was a stark contrast.Her face turned slightly pale. "Since I'm not needed here, I'll go help Mrs. Tate with dinner. You guys continue working."She quickly turned and ran after saying that."Kaden, what are you looking at?" Naomi came over and nudged her brother's arm. "What's wrong with Erica?"She had run away so fast, as if a ghost chased her.Naomi
Hannah didn't know what the problem was.She turned the showerhead on again, but only a stream of cold water came out.Feeling helpless, she quickly wrapped herself in a bath towel and went to the next room.The door was quickly opened after her knock.It seemed that Darren had just finished taking a shower. There was a towel wrapped around his waist. He revealed a strong and muscular upper body.His usual neat hair was wet and clinging to his scalp. There were water droplets flowing down the contours of his face.His sword-like eyebrows, dark eyes, and broad chest were fatal to Hannah.She maintained her smile although she was sighing inwardly. Her unhesitant and unapologetic gaze landed on him as she said, "Mr. Winchester, the showerhead in my room is broken. May I use your bathroom?"Her eyes showed pure admiration.However, Darren felt that his blood was rushing through his veins.It was as if Hannah's gaze was a spark. Wherever her gaze wandered, it ignited a wave of f
