Chapter 209: Chapter 199: I Don’t Quite Understand You…

Translator: 549690339

Bonnie Maxwell’s “Third Brother!” called out with not only affection but also a hint of ambiguity that anyone with ears could detect.

At first, Kevin Clark hadn’t thought much about seeing her.

However, after she called him “Third Brother”, especially when Daisy Zane glanced at her, Kevin imagined himself picking a color for a washing board.

A curious smile appeared in Daisy Zane’s eyes.

Kevin licked his lips, swallowed and said, “I…”

“Third Brother.” Bonnie approached the two and called out to him again, “You have guests.”

Daisy withdrew her gaze from Kevin and looked at Bonnie.

Upon seeing Daisy, Bonnie was startled, then asked, “Have we…have we met somewhere before?”

Daisy examined her eyes as if she could see right into her heart. She then replied with a detached, faint smile, “Perhaps.”

With a smile, Bonnie insisted, “We must have. Otherwise, why would you look so familiar?”

Daisy smiled politely but didn’t respond.

Deciding not to talk to Daisy, Bonnie turned to Kevin and said, “Third Brother, my father brought back some bird’s nest from his business trip, and I brought some for Aunt Wayne.”

“Okay,” Kevin gently agreed. “My parents are not here, so just make yourself at home.”

“Alright.” Bonnie responded, “You go entertain your guest. I’m as familiar with this place as my own home, so there’s no need to worry about me.”

Upon hearing her words, Daisy raised her eyebrows slightly.

Kevin’s eyes darkened a little, then he turned to Daisy, caressed the top of her head, and said softly, “Little Girl, wait for me outside for a while.”

Daisy looked at him, hesitated for a moment, nodded, glanced at Bonnie, and walked outside.

Bonnie also turned to look at Daisy. As she faced away from Kevin, her gaze turned sullen, her feelings unconcealed.

However, unexpectedly, Daisy stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked back.

Their gazes locked across the distance of five or six meters.

Bonnie couldn’t avoid it, and her sullen expression was exposed. She didn’t even have time to hide it.

Daisy raised her eyebrows contemptuously, turned around and resumed walking.

With a steady pace, neither hurried nor slow, back straight, and an outstanding demeanor.

Bonnie quickly withdrew her gaze, hastily adjusted her expression, then turned to Kevin once again.

But Kevin’s line of sight had followed Daisy until she disappeared from view before he turned to Bonnie.

A chilling glint appeared in his eyes. He said, “Miss Maxwell, it’s not like we are on such friendly terms as to address each other as brother and sister, right?”

Bonnie’s face instantly lost color. She dared not look into Kevin’s eyes. “I’m sorry. My dad told me to treat you as an elder brother from now on. So, I just took the liberty and called you Third Brother on my own initiative.”

Kevin said these words privately to her, treating her gently because she was a girl. He didn’t want to embarrass her: “Your father and my big brother address each other as brothers, but when you called me Third Brother, your family took quite the liberty.”

“I didn’t mean it like that.”

“Miss Maxwell, I hope you understand. My family is on good terms with yours because my brother and your father have a superior-subordinate relationship, which is why our families are close,” Kevin stated in a calm tone. “You’re familiar with our household because my mother saved your life back then. You can be considered her half-student, so my mother treats you well.”

“I know.”

“If you know, then don’t say things that would cause misunderstandings.” Kevin was already trying to control his tone, not being too harsh in consideration of her being a girl.

“I didn’t. It’s just that I might be too clumsy with words, and, that’s why…”

“If you know you’re clumsy with words, then speak less.”

After finishing, Kevin turned around and left.

Bonnie was left standing in the same spot. After taking several deep breaths, she managed to suppress the anger in her chest and didn’t lose control there.

What she didn’t expect was that Kevin had actually brought that poor girl, that country bumpkin, back to his home.

It seems she needs to speed up her actions.

When Kevin Clark went out, Daisy Zane had already gotten in the car.

She was on the phone with Felix Baker: “I’m already on the road. Don’t you know how congested the traffic in the Imperial Capital is?”

Michael Jackson sat in front, pursing his lips and not daring to speak.

Kevin Clark sat beside her, closed the car door, and looked at her.

Daisy Zane glanced at him and then looked at the pendant hanging in front of the car. It was a ruby peace pendant, very valuable: “Almost there, just five or six more traffic lights.”

Michael Jackson:

Felix Baker was still chattering on the other side of the phone, but Daisy Zane didn’t want to listen and hung up directly.

Seeing her looking at the peace pendant, Kevin Clark asked Michael Jackson to take it down. After she hung up, he gave it to her: “Weren’t we supposed to meet at 9:30?”

“Mm,” Daisy Zane glanced at the time on her cell phone, 8:23, “Michael

Jackson, go to the Spotlight.’

“Okay.”

The car started, and Kevin Clark asked, “Is it about the endorsement?”

Daisy Zane casually replied, “We’ll discuss it first.”

Kevin Clark didn’t think too much about it and then quietly said after a while, “I’d like to request an explanation.”

Daisy Zane had just turned on the light on her cell phone and wanted to shine it on the ruby. When she heard him speak, she looked up at him first and then thought about it, “Go ahead.”

“Her name is Bonnie Maxwell.”

“Oh, she’s a young lady from the Maxwell Family,” Daisy Zane said.

“Yeah. When she was little, she got sick, and my mom gave her an injection, which saved her life,” Kevin Clark explained. “Afterward, she followed my mom to learn traditional medicine, and my mom became her half-teacher. So she often visits my mother at home. My older brother and her father are both in the military district, so the two families have a good relationship.”

“Mm,” Daisy Zane responded indifferently.

Seeing her bland response, Kevin Clark felt that he hadn’t received the proper care. He couldn’t feel Daisy Zane’s love for him.

He felt even worse: “Little girl, aren’t you jealous?”

“Why would I be jealous?” Daisy Zane countered.

Kevin Clark was taken aback by her question, his handsome face momentarily distorted. His lips even trembled a couple of times: “There’s a woman, she, she, she’s interested in me. You, you don’t have any reaction?”

Daisy Zane looked at him, scrutinizing him. After a while, she said, “But…

didn’t you just stay behind to explain things? I… what reaction should I have?”

Michael Jackson was driving in front, trying hard to keep the corners of his mouth at a horizontal position, not letting them rise.

Kevin Clark was silent, seemingly stumped by her question.

Daisy Zane noticed that he wasn’t speaking and continued, “You just asked for an explanation. Wasn’t it because you were afraid I’d be jealous?”

Seeing his Third Master at a loss for words, Michael Jackson couldn’t help but momentarily grin, only to immediately straighten his mouth again when it was caught.

“I’m not so gullible as to fall for her little tricks.”

Kevin Clark:

“And besides, don’t I trust that you’re not a troublemaker?”

Kevin Clark:

Seeing him unable to speak, Daisy Zane continued to provoke him with one comment after another, not intending to let him off the hook: “When I’m jealous, you worry; when I’m not jealous, you’re anxious. I…”

At this point, seeing his expression, Daisy Zane couldn’t help but laugh out loud, her voice changing pitch: “I don’t quite understand you…”

Kevin Clark: She was actually making fun of himself. And laughing so happily..
