Chapter 324
"Are you a Solancian, Nella?" Quinton would test me on the road, whether intentionally or otherwise.
"Yes, but I came to Huma when I was 13. I don’t have any family either. I have more friends in Huma instead." I deliberately let slip a hint of Solancian accent mixed with my carefully polished Humian.
That way, perhaps Quinton might let down his guard around me.
He smiled and nodded. "All Solacian women are tall and beautiful. I like Solacian women the best."
I smiled naively. "Thank you, Quinton."
However, I was scoffing deep down. He liked Solacian women the best because they were kind-hearted. That was why most of the missing persons were from Solance.
"This road crosses a desolate area, and it’s very dangerous. We could lose our lives if something goes wrong, Aren’t you afraid?" Quinton asked.
"I’m not afraid since you’re here. Tristan said you’d protect me. Besides, Tristan has been good to me, and he asked me to take care of you," I hesitated, hinting that Tristan had given me money.
Quinton raised a brow. "Has he been treating you well? How much pocket money is he giving you monthly? Is it enough? I can give you more if not. Money’s not an issue."
I looked at him with an excited and happy gaze full of innocence. "Really? But it’s alright, Quinton. Tristan is giving me more than enough. I’m getting 20 thousand dollars per month."
Quinton laughed. "The Lamberts can afford more than that, but he’s just giving you 20 thousand dollars?"
