Chapter 58: Old? No! Older? Yes!
"First reason," She raised her index finger and continued, "You don’t seem like the person who could do such a thing."
"Oh?" The man touched his face in surprise. "I look like a good guy? Maybe that would help me get away with the crime?"
Helena chuckled and shook her head, "You don’t exactly look like a good man. I just feel that you are not such a person. That’s all. Let’s call it my intuition."
"Hmm... fine. Let’s think that a young, rich lady’s intuition had a chance to be right once in a while. Now, what is your second reason?" The man asked.
"I have a few bodyguards protecting me in secret. How can you think that I will be left alone outside without any protection just like that? Just as you said, who knows which man will kidnap me to ask for ransom from my family? Right?" Helena asked.
The man raised an eyebrow and laughed out loud. "Oh, so, that’s the secret of the wealthy families. Ha ha. Fine. You win, young lady."
Helena laughed along with him.
There was actually no reason for either of them to laugh. They just felt comfortable in each other’s presence for some reason and their smiles wouldn’t leave their lips.
"Don’t call me young lady. That makes you sound too old. You don’t look that older than me, right?" Helena looked at him and asked.
"I am almost a decade older than you already. For my eyes, you are a young lady," The man replied with a cheeky smile.
Helena saw his smile and froze.
