Chapter 14

He had lived two lifetimes, and his psychological age was far more mature than his actual years. How could he not see the genuine affection in this woman's words?

If he were to refuse her outright, this woman might never have another chance!

"Second Brother, I think you should just boldly make the decision on this matter. As for Mother, I'll go talk to her for you." As Henry Bennett spoke, he quickly slipped out the door.

Brian Bennett scratched his head, thinking that even with Henry Bennett's help, this matter was still a bit awkward. After all, he had just brought home a wife yesterday, and today another maid was volunteering herself.

But Brian Bennett was not one to be indecisive. Looking at the pitiful yet adorable petite figure kneeling helplessly there, he hesitated for a moment, then helped Daisy Thompson up and said, "Come with me!"

Brian Bennett went to the small courtyard where Evelyn Foster had been settled. As he entered, he saw his own father coming out of the courtyard with a look of panic on his face.

Seeing Brian Bennett approach, Gavin Bennett pointed at him, wanting to speak, but seemed unable to get the words out. In the end, everything he wanted to say turned into, "You... you..." and then he quickly slipped away.

Judging by Gavin Bennett's expression, this Evelyn Foster must have quite an extraordinary background, otherwise Gavin Bennett wouldn't be acting like this.

Shaking his head, Brian Bennett led Daisy Thompson into Evelyn Foster's courtyard, where he saw Evelyn Foster standing inside, gazing at a tree full of bright red plum blossoms.

The flowers were beautiful, but the person was even more beautiful!

"Son of a bitch!" At that moment, a voice rang out in the courtyard—not very loud, but clear and pleasant to the ear.

That voice instantly shattered the picturesque scene! Even Daisy Thompson, who was following behind Brian Bennett, covered her little mouth in shock, unable to believe what she had just heard.

Brian Bennett also slapped his own forehead. It seemed that his earlier words had dragged this noble and imposing woman straight into the gutter!

Chapter 7: Basic Cards

"If you shout a little louder, and really put your strength into it, the effect will be even better!" As Brian Bennett spoke, he waved his hand forcefully again. "Best if you can shout it out with the momentum of a bull charging at the sky!"

"Yes, just like a bull charging at the sky!"

To add to his persuasiveness, Brian Bennett swung his palm with extra force, making a gesture that brooked no argument.

Daisy Thompson stood to the side, full of suspicion, her little heart in a bit of a mess. She looked at Brian Bennett, imagining what it would be like if this woman, who was even more beautiful than a fairy, shouted out those four words.

She could hardly bear to watch!

At this moment, she felt that this Second Young Master actually had a bit of a mischievous side. But this little bit of mischief made him seem even more approachable than the awe-inspiring Second Young Master she knew.

After hearing Brian Bennett's words, a faint blush appeared on Evelyn Foster's face. Just now, as she faced the empty courtyard, her inner struggle had been so intense that she hadn't noticed Brian Bennett's arrival.

When her desire to experience the mundane finally won out, she couldn't help but shout out that phrase.

Although she had always focused her mind on cultivation, Evelyn Foster was extremely intelligent. Seeing Brian Bennett trying to suppress his laughter, how could she not realize that his encouragement was actually a bit of teasing?

"You're a bad person!" Evelyn Foster glared at Brian Bennett, saying with a hint of resentment.

As soon as she said this, she realized that not only Daisy Thompson, but even Brian Bennett was stunned.

At this moment, Brian Bennett felt as if a fairy had descended to the mortal world. Compared to the usual dignified and elegant Evelyn Foster, this Evelyn Foster now showed the coquettish charm of a young girl.

It was, in its own way, a captivating sight.

"Daisy Thompson is the maid I found for you. If you have any questions in the future, just ask her." Feeling he couldn't stay any longer, Brian Bennett gave Evelyn Foster a quick reminder and hurried off to his own room.

This woman really was a bit too much to handle!

Just as he was sighing inwardly, another thought popped into Brian Bennett's mind: If only she were really my wife.

Unable to wait, he rushed back to his room and focused his thoughts on the deck of cards in his mind.

At this moment, in his mind, the red cards were still flashing by like a movie reel, making Brian Bennett feel a bit frustrated. All the cards were face down, and from the patterns on the back, there was no way to tell them apart.

Since he couldn't see them, he might as well just pick. With that decision, Brian Bennett randomly locked onto three cards.

As the three cards flipped over, a trace of disappointment rose in Brian Bennett's heart. The first card showed a burly man with a full beard and dark skin, holding two axes in his hands.

Black Whirlwind Li Kui—can choose Bear Body, Whirlwind Axe Technique!

In his previous life, Brian Bennett was not unfamiliar with Li Kui, this black brute. Although he was a ruthless killer, when it came to martial skills, he wasn't particularly outstanding.

Without making a choice, Brian Bennett looked at the second card, which depicted a man with a snake-like face, also exuding a murderous aura.
