Chapter 309
The beautiful and spirited girl smiled brightly, and the adulation and delight in her eyes were unmistakable.
Her voice was clear and crisp like a lively and cheerful singing role.
Grelle followed Richard Hampton around. Even though she was kept away from Richard by John Ross, the tall lanky man and the petite, lovable girl looked somewhat compatible..
Tiffany only glanced at them before looking away.
Then, she got up and went straight to the back of the farmhouse where her line of sight was blocked.
As they said, out of sight, out of mind.
When he saw that slim figure shunning him again, Richard’s face clouded over and he stormed back into his own farmhouse.
Grelle wanted to follow him, but she was stopped by the bodyguard firmly. “Please leave. Otherwise, you have to bear the
consequences.
“…” Grelle bit her lip and felt a little sad.
The guest had tacitly allowed her to follow him from afar earlier Yet for some reason, as soon as he entered his farmhouse, he turned hostile toward her again.
He was so unpredictable.
After the bodyguards repeatedly chased her away, Grelle eventually left reluctantly
Zoe saw everything and was furious.
She called out to Grelle and demanded in a somewhat icy tone, Grelle, why do you keep pestering him?”
“Zoe, I’m not pestering him. My mother taught me that if I like someone, I can approach him bravely. I like the guest next door very much, so I…”
“But he doesn’t like you.” Zoe’s retort was swift
She cut Grelle off mid-sentence and then gave her a warning. “From now on, stay away from that guest.”
“W-why?” Grelle was frightened and baffled.
Zoe smiled faintly and enunciated word by word, “Because that guest belongs to Tiffany, understand?”
She did not care whether Grelle was doing it intentionally, or whether she was truly naive, or whether she was trying to chimb up the social ladder.
In short, Zoe regarded anyone who wanted to touch Tiffany’s sweetheart as her enemy!
Tiffany sneezed. It was October, and the autumn diurnal temperature range in Melvor Mountain was huge. She had caught a mild cold because she wasn’t quite used to the climate.
While rubbing her nose, she continued walking to the back of the farmhouse. From afar, she saw five little kids under a big tree looking up as something.
She followed their gazes and saw an eight-year-old boy climbing high up in the tree.
Horrified, Tiffany hurriedly shouted, “What are you doing? Come down quickly. It’s too dangerous.”
However, the little kid up there said proudly, “Tiffany, we’re picking chestnuts for you. These wild chestnuts are tasty!”
Tiffany looked at the ground and saw that there were indeed may green fruits under the tree. They were all wild chestnuts.
She felt a little helpless.
Ever since her team distributed the supplies to the kids yesterday, they kept bringing all kinds of delicious food to her.
It was said that the fish she had for dinner last night was caught by the children in the stream.
“It’s too dangerous. This is enough. Come down quickly!”
Then, Tiffany added. “Hurry up, or I won’t play with you guys next time!”
This threat was indeed effective.
When the little boy on the tree heard this, he climbed down obediently.
These village kids were used to climbing trees from a young age That boy made his way down very adroitly.
Just as Tiffany was about to compliment him, the little kid lost his footing and fell down from the tree with a cry!
The consequences of falling from such a height were dire.
Tiffany lunged instinctively to catch the kid. She managed to break his fall, but the momentum slammed her to the ground.
Her back hit the protruding tree root on the ground hard.
That fateful night, she was injured in the fight with those assassins. This old wound opened up again. Tiffany could even feel blood seeping into her clothes bit by bit.
She winced but said nothing-Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
However, those little brats were cheering wildly at her heroics with sparkling eyes and faces that were full of admiration.
“Wow, Tiffany is so awesome!”
“Tiffany, can you teach me? I want to be as awesome as you when I grow up!”
The chatter went on and on..
Tiffany immediately drove them away and said fiercely. “Go back at once. If you dare to climb so high again, I’ll beat you up!” She even waved her fist for emphasis.
The kids scampered off happily after collecting the chestnuts on the ground. As they ran, they shouted, “We’ll bring you the chestnuts tonight!”
Tiffany did not know whether to laugh or cry.
After those brats had run far away, she carefully stood up and took off her coat. Just as she was about to lift her shirt check, she heard a light cough behind her. “Cough, cough.”
Tiffany froze. She swung around in shock and saw Sidney Pauley. He was smiling brightly. “Long time no see, youn idy.”
Was he not afraid of being beaten to death?
Tillany tidied her shirt silently. “Mr. Pauley, why are you here?”
After asking, she felt that her query was redundant.
Sidney was on such good terms with Richard that it was not surprising for him to tag along wherever Richard went.
However, she did not know Sidney that well and it was quite awkward to talk to him alone. Thus, Tiffany excused herself. “I’ll go back first.”
She turned around and was about to leave when Sidney spoke again. “Don’t you want to ask me how his injuries are?”
The last time Richard showed up at Luna Villa, Tiffany avoided him. It was Jeremy Cooper who told her that he must have been seriously injured and that was why he could not even climb over the electric fence.
At that time, she had indeed run after Richard with the intention to check on him but she didn’t manage to catch him.
Now, Richard had shown up on Melvor Mountain and he seemed fine.
Furthermore…..
There were many people who were willing to take care of him.
Tiffany answered, “This doesn’t seem to be something I should worry about.”
With that, she left without looking back.
Sidney stood under the chestnut tree and sighed softly. These two were equally stubborn.
He reckoned he would have to take action at the appropriate moment.
Sidney sauntered back to Richard’s farmhouse.
The farmhouse here was completely different from what it used to be before they arrived. It had been renovated from top to bottom, and the furniture had been changed. It now looked like a stylish vacation villa.
However, in this stylish vacation villa, due to a certain character’s ominous face, the atmosphere was terrifyingly oppressive)
John Ross was standing outside the door. He was very relieved to see Sidney.
“Mr. Pauley, what should we do? I think the Missus is really angry this time. Why don’t I explain to her? When the misunderstanding is cleared up, the ‘storm clouds’ will also disappear!”
Sidney winked and patted the anxious man’s shoulder. “Watch me.”
With that, he strolled into the farmhouse and began rummaging through his medicine box.
As he rummaged, he was muttering thoughtfully. “Hemostatic medicine, disinfectant, and bandages. Oh right, something to reduce swelling and bruises…
Richard cast a side glance at Sidney. He assumed that Sidney was going to change the dressing for him. He immediately said, “That’s not necessary. I won’t die.”
No one was concerned about him anyway.
Sidney replied casually, “It’s not meant for you. The little girl next door is quite seriously injured. Her entire back is gory and bloody. Tsk, tsk! The blood has even soaked through her clothes
