Helene stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Neil. Then she quickly ran over to Aurelia in an attempt to keep
the two of them apart with her frail body.
Neil did not dare to act up in front of her and obediently stepped back, nearly covering his head with his hands.
“Bad man! Bad man!” Helene puffed out her cheeks. “It’s the same bad man as last time, bullying my baby!”
Neil could not explain himself. It seemed like all the “moms” he had just called were in vain!
“Mom, it’s not like that,” Aurelia said awkwardly with a soft voice. “Uncle didn’t bully me. He…”
She suddenly remembered something and looked at Helene in surprise and joy. “Mom, you recognize him!?”
Helene’s mind was unclear, and she often did not recognize people, but she recognized Neil as the bad guy from
‘last time’…
Aurelia was so happy she almost shouted out loud.
“Mom!” She hugged Helene. “It looks like Mr. Irwin’s medicine really works. You’ve improved a lot from before!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Mr. Irwin…” Helene became confused again and turned to look at Neil, muttering, “No, no, he’s not Mr. Irwin. I
know Mr. Irwin. I saw him when I was young. He’s much more handsome than him!”
Neil froze up instantly, his brain buzzing.
Never mind that he could not compete with his father. He could not even win the Southeast Aciatic pufferfish!?
He did not know if there would be more blows coming from Helene later.
“Hmph, bad guy!” Helene glared at him again, grabbing Aurelia’s hand tightly and whispering, “Girlie, come back
with me… Don’t hang out with him! He’s a bad man!”
“Let’s tell General Harris and let General Harris deal with him!”
“Girlie…” Helene whispered, “General Harris has guns. He’s specially trained to deal with bad guys!”
“Pft!” Aurelia laughed so hard she bent over. She made a funny face at Neil before obediently following her mother.
She had been deprived of motherly love for 18 years, so she cherished this feeling. Neil could only stand aside for
the time being… It was not like he could run away!
Neil looked dazedly at the mother and daughter’s backs as if he had suffered a 10,000-point attack. He sighed
deeply before he smiled and turned to walk out of the palace.
The plan had been going well. He was going to secretly take Aurelia out of the palace, change themselves into
something more casual, and the two of them would go out and have fun like a regular couple.
They could go to the amusement park, where she could ride the carousel, and he could take pictures of her. The ice
cream cone would melt under the sun slowly, the colorful cotton candy would be squashed in her hand, and she
would eat it messily. Her happy giggles would become a diamond permanently embedded in his heart.
Now, though…
Noah was still in Martin’s study, and the edict seemed to take a while to draft.
Neil had nowhere to go, so he wandered aimlessly into the palace. A small part of the palace was specifically
opened to the public, attracting a large number of tourists from all over the world every year, but this area was
separated from the main part of the palace.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBored, Neil walked toward the open area. Like other tourists, he bought a ticket and walked in.
The area was quite fun—it was without the solemnity and oppression of the main palace and exuded a more
tolerant vibe.
The place was bustling with people of different skin and hair colors. Various languages could be heard chattering
and laughing as they enjoyed this beautiful afternoon to the fullest.
Neil was about to take a selfie and send it to Aurelia when he saw someone following him on the screen.
His heart skipped a beat. He turned around, but the person seemed to have disappeared.
He furrowed his brow, and his first thought was there was a paparazzo there… so he pretended to continue taking
selfies. When he raised his phone again, sure enough, he saw someone sneaking behind him on the screen!
This time, Neil did not hesitate at all. He turned around and rushed over. The person was startled and ran forward,
but Neil grabbed the person’s shoulders and flung the person before the person could run far.
“Ah!” cried the woman and fell to the ground, still remembering to use her hat to cover her face while she fell.
The commotion here attracted many onlookers. Neil was about to call the security guard, but he heard the woman
call him shakily, “M-Mr. Harris, it’s me!”
Neil was stunned.
“Mr. Harris, can we talk somewhere else? I have something important to tell you!”
