Claude thought that since he wanted to be together with Candace, then he should not hide his career from her parents.He said honestly, "Indeed, I have a gun, but I'll only open fire at those who are trying to harm the ones I want to protect. So, you don't have to be scared."Mrs. White had lived for so long and had never seen a real gun. The sound of it made one feel fear. 'How can I allow my daughter to marry such a person?'"Stop talking gibberish and get lost!" She then said to her daughter, "Candace, come here right now!"Candace was standing at Claude's side, and her hand was tightly grasping Claude. She had no intention of listening to her mother."Mom, I want to leave with him," Candace said the words she had been keeping deep in her heart.Mrs. White's expression changed for the worse. "How dare you talk nonsense?! Come here!""Mom, I'm serious. I want to leave with him. I don't want to be locked up in the room by you again.""If you come over, I promise you that I won
"It’s fine if you want to take it that way. Just consider me dead." As Candace was talking, tears were seen in her eyes. Then, she slammed her head on the floor as a show of respect to her mother. "Thank you, Mom, for taking care of me for so many years. Thank Dad for me too."Claude supported her up. Then, she held his hand tightly. "Let's go." She tried her best not to look at her mother and wanted to leave as soon as possible for fear that she might regret it."Candace, aren't you going to think this through?" Claude was afraid she might be acting rashly. Once she stepped out of the house with him, she would be cutting ties with her parents.Claude did not wish to be the person who destroyed their relationship. However, if she was determined to leave, he would still bring her away."Let's go, bring me away from here." Her last statement was rather soft, as though she was about to lose her strength.Claude gave her a determined look. "Alright, I'll bring you away from here." He
Claude shook his head and pursed his lips, not saying a word. That, to him, was a difficult problem."Have you not seen how couples kiss in TV shows?" she asked again.He still shook his head. "I don't watch those types of shows."Candace sighed again. "It seems like I still have to teach you, then."He looked at her, puzzled. 'She knows how to do it? Didn't she say that she has never kissed anyone before?'"I've no real practical experience but I've read lots of romance novels. They show how the male and female characters kiss."The corner of Claude's eyes twitched. 'Are those books reliable?'Candace looked at his expression of disbelief. To prove that she could pull it off, she leaned over to him again. "Why don’t we test it out?"Claude was blushing a little and at the same time, feeling somewhat puzzled. He was indeed a naive man. However, she liked the way he was and that just proved that everything about him belonged to her.He pressed on her gently. "Let’s stop. Wait t
Sharon got to know that Mrs. White had worked at Y High School in the past. She just retired two years ago. In a few more days, Y High School would be holding a celebration for their 50th anniversary. They had invited retired teachers to return to the school to join in the festivities.After finding out about this, she had a discussion with Simon. They would join the school’s anniversary celebration as well.Simon smiled faintly. “We don’t have much to do with Y High School, though. You’re going to attend the celebration just like that?”“That’s easy. You can just donate some tables or chairs to the school’s library under your name. The school will definitely invite you to join the celebration then.” Sharon had planned out everything in advance.Simon nodded and said, “Your idea seems feasible. How about you? They wouldn’t invite you for no reason, right?”“I’m your wife. Is there any problem with me coming along with you?”His gaze darkened as a meaningful glint flashed across
“It’s alright. I respect experienced teachers like you a lot. You should try it out regardless if it’s effective or not. You can tell me about the results after that so that I can further my research.”Mrs. White could not reject Sharon’s enthusiastic offer, so she had no choice but to accept it. “Thank you.”“There’s no need to thank me. Let’s keep in contact.” Sharon succeeded in forming a link with Mrs. White.After the celebration ended, Sharon and Simon got in their car and left.“Didn’t you want to say something good about Claude in front of Mrs. White? Why didn’t you mention anything in front of her today?” Simon could not help but ask curiously.“There were so many people attending the celebration. What if Mrs. White loses control of her emotions if I bring up Claude and Candace in front of her?” Sharon paused and added, “I’ll talk to her about this in private. Besides, I only came here to forge a relationship with her. It’ll be easier for me to talk to her after that.”
“This… This is too big of a coincidence, right?” Mrs. White could not believe that Claude was actually Mr. Henry’s personal bodyguard.During the school’s anniversary celebration, she got to know that Mr. Henry was a successful businessman. He was a kind person as well. He was involved in a lot of charity to help the children living in poor districts.If Claude was protecting someone like that, Mrs. White found it easier to accept his nature of job. “Yes, this seems like a big coincidence to me as well,” Sharon exclaimed. She then feigned a nonchalant stance and said, “A short while ago, Claude told Henry about him and Candace with a troubled look on his face. He asked us how to relieve the tension between you and Candace. He doesn’t want Candace to cut ties with her parents who raised her because of him…” After glancing at Mrs. White’s expression, she continued speaking, “Henry asked him about the reason why Candace’s parents weren’t willing to accept him. He said that he didn’t
Being a personal bodyguard sounded like a pretty cool job, but for ordinary people like Mrs. White, she did not want her daughter to be with someone like Claude. However, their daughter insisted on marrying him. Now that Mrs. White knew he had pretty good character, she felt like she could accept him. A few days later, Candace made up with her parents with Sharon’s help. The Whites accepted Claude as their son-in-law as well. Everything finally ended on a good note. The Whites invited Sharon and Simon over to their place to thank them today.Naturally, Sebastian followed her as well.Simon looked at Sharon on the way to the Whites’ place. “I didn't expect you to resolve this problem. Claude should really thank you.” “I’m not the only one he has to thank. He has to thank you more. He’s the most skilled bodyguard by your side, but you actually agreed to hand him to me. He’s way too talented to be my bodyguard.”It was really a waste for Claude to be her bodyguard. After all, she
Sharon, Simon, and Sebastian followed Claude into the White family’s household. Mrs. White had just finished cooking a dish and was carrying it out. She immediately put down the dish and rushed over to greet them when she saw them. “Mr. and Mrs. Henry, you’re here,” Mrs. White greeted them passionately. “Come here. Sit down at once. Old Man, Candace, hurry and greet our guests.” When Mr. White heard that they were coming, he had deliberately waited for them at home. He wanted to thank Sharon properly. “Please sit down.” Although Mr. White was at an elderly age, he was still courteous. He was wearing a pair of old-fashioned glasses with black frames.Sharon and Sebastian sat down. Simon had come here in his wheelchair, so he was by their side. Candace served them tea. “You guys should have some tea first. This is the best Earl Grey tea.” “You shouldn’t treat us so courteously. We’re just here to have a meal. It doesn’t have to be so grand,” Sharon said in amusement. “
