Chapter 88: A Hug
Tiene was momentarily speechless.
stefan smiled and pulled Irene into his arms. She looked up at him, surprised, but he didn’t let go, holding her gently.
They appeared very much like a loving couple.
Madame Kashi was taken aback for a moment, then she smiled warmly
Stefan’s deep voice was right by her ear, malding Irene’s ears feel warm, “Of course, Grandma,”
Even with her head raised, trene couldn’t see Stefan’s face from this angle.
But she could smell the unique blend of his cologne and a faint hint of tobacco. The combination was strangely alluring to her.
During her time with the mercenary group, Torne had been surrounded by rough men who smoked and drankheavily.
She used to think her type was young,
Because she despised those habits.
fair–skinned boys, Innocent, maybe a bit mischievous, but definitely not associated with smoking or drinking.
But now, Irene squinted her eyes, sensing a change.
Stefan’s hand was on her waist, light but warm and very present.
Irene’s heart suddenly telt a jolt, and she found herself unexpectedly feeling a tingling sensation. Being held like this felt very familiar.
So familiar that it surprised her.
Stefan’s breath brushed against her cheek and the top of her head, his breathing rhythm indicating his good mood.
Trene raised an eyebrow, about to push him away, but Stelan let go first.
His voice was low and magnetle, with a mysterious charm. He glanced at him, her expression unchanged, “Wait here for me, I’ll be back soon.
But Madame Kashi saw through her pretense, smiling as if she were witnessing their wedding.
Irene shrugged, “Ok, fine.”
Madame Kashi patted Stefanion the shoulder with a smile, “Alright, children, don’t act like you’re facing a life and death situation Grandma is not that scary, relax.
Trene looked at Madame Kash with resignation
Grandma, you should be the one worrying, Stefan is deceiving you.
Well, although there were some feelings involved, they hadn’t gone through the stages of confession, courtship, and officially being together
Irene hesitated for a moment and said, “Hey, Stefan I think maybe you should be honest with Grandma. You know, she’s the most important person to me.
With that, Stefan should understand what she meant.
To be honesL
Stefan turned to look at trene, a doting smile on his face. He chuckled, “Alright.”
Seeing Stefan’s confident look, Irene felt he must know what to say and didn’t dwell on it. She tumed to the courtyard, analyzing the future direction of her live stream channel.
Meanwhile, Tony, who was preparing to sleep in the hotel, got up again.
Tony was a romantic and thoughtful man from Country Y.
After today’s events, he believed that Stefan and Irene’s love might not workout.
One lived in the most expensive high–rise in the center, the other in a low and crowded house. Such a love could be the most exciting spice of life, but not long- lasting
Wouldn’t that mean Stefan was ruining the life of a good girl?
Tony had watched the replay of trene’s live stream. That girl couldn’t just be described as smart; she was a genius. Anything that would break a genius’s growth or life shouldn’t continue.
Perhaps, pressure from family was the best solution?
Tony thought this way.
However, Tony didn’t expect that pressure from family could also mean someone finally appreciating that boy.
Back in the courtyard.
Harper stood at the door, watching Irene, muttering to himself in Y Language, “Does the boss really like Miss Ireme? Should I tell Mr. Norman about this? At least Mr. Norman is one of the boss’s most respected elders?”
Harper’s muttering finally caught trene’s attention, pulling her out of her work foces
Sering Irene’s gaze, Harper continued, “But if the boss finds out it was me, what then? Wouldn’t that be the end of me? What should I do? Huh? trene. Mene?
hede propped her chin with one hand, smiling, “Why are you so afraid of him?
Itaper paused, then said, “Because the boss is usually so good to us feel guilty and very imeasy.
Chapter 68: A Hug
Irene raised an eyebrow.
Tight–lipped, not spilling anything,
What a pity.
But why is everyone so afraid of Stefan?
Harper is like this, and so is Stefan’s assistant.
But Stefan should just be a businessman
Even if he hires mercenaries on the dark web, that only means he never does it himself.
There’s something wrong.
Stefan must not be as simple as he seems.
But from another perspective, Stefan is indeed very dangerous
How does he know about the dark web?
How many times has he hired assassins? These should be investigated.
Irene pondered these questions, propping her chin on her hand.
Harper broke out in a cold sweat.
He felt Miss Irene was thinking about something very dangerous.
Harper finally decided that if Mr. Norman asked about this, he would answer truthfully.
Harper braced himself and asked, “Miss Irene, are you and my boss in a relationship?”
Irene chuckled lightly, “No, not yet.”
Not yet?
Harper pondered, a very subtle choice of words.
Irene smirked, twirling a pen in her fingers, “Yes, we’re pretending.”
Harper asked a deep question from his soul, “Then why pretend?”
Trene raised a finger to her lips, “Shh, don’t let Grandma hear. Of course, it’s because she wants me to find a lifelong partner. You understand, it’s difficult.”
Harper smiled silently, “Of course, my mother still dreams of me having a seven–year–old child by thirty,”
I see.
So for the boss, it must be because Mr. Norman has been pushing him to marry.
Maybe there’s no real feeling between Miss Irene and the boss.
Trene laughed.
Inside the house, the conversation between Stefan and Madame Kashi was going very smoothly and pleasantly.
