Chapter 319
The door mmed against the wall loudly. I widened my eyes, wondering if bodyguards nowadays had
such a fiery personality. After a while, Jenny came down, and I told her that Lucas had left a bodyguard
to take care of me.
She immediately ran to the kitchen to take a look. Then, she came out and told me, “Ms. Tanner, the
bodyguard looks homeless. He’s so dirty; it was like he had just rolled around in the dirt. Also, his
cheeks are so pale. Did Mr. Goldstein find him on the streets? But…” Jenner cupped her cheeks and
said excitedly, “he’s really handsome, just like a movie star!”
Perhaps, Lucas wanted to help this homeless man out. Since he did not have a good excuse, he left
the man with me. However, that man did not seem quite willing to stay here and even got angry at me.
I moved closer to Jenny and whispered, “Don’t order him around, okay? His temper seems quite foul.”
Jenny mumbled her acknowledgment before helping out at the kitchen.
Dinner was very sumptuous. There were six dishes and a bowl of soup. As Jenny and I could not finish
the food, I nned to summon the bodyguard to eat with us. However, after he passed me my te, he
sat beside me directly.
I was a bit speechless by his actions. Well, isn’t that rude! It’s as if he’s the owner of this house. He
even roamed the house just now. Could he be one of those homeless criminals that Lucas mentioned?
At that, I trembled, feeling scared by what I just imagined. Just as I was thinking about it, someone
ced a spoon beside my mouth. I could feel the warm food on it. For a moment, I could not help but
reveal a flustered expression. Why does everyone love to feed me? What’s going on?
“Um… Lucas fed me soup as a joke. I can eat on my own, so you can just ce the cutlery and te
by my hands. You don’t have to do this.”
Nheless, the man ignored my wishes and insisted on cing the spoon beside my mouth. I
nced at Jenny helplessly. “Jenny…”
“Sir, Ms. Tanner isn’t used to others feeding her. You… Ahem!” Suddenly, Jenny changed the topic and
said to me, “Ms. Tanner, if he’s feeding you, you don’t have to be that courteous. Since someone else
is paying him instead of us, there no need to keep refusing.”
Since Jenny was not on my side, I had no choice but to eat silently. For some reason, the dishes were
exceptionally delicious today, and they even tasted familiar. I remember eating simr dishes back in
Avenport’s restaurants. When I was fooling around with Christopher in the hotel suite, he asked the
restaurant to send over some dishes that tasted simr to these. However, the dishes here tasted
better and fresher.
I drank more soup and savored it happily. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had such delicious soup.
Were you a chef previously?”
Instead of replying, the man poured another bowl of soup for me. Jenny asked him, “Why aren’t you
speaking? Are you a celebrity or a model? You look so handsome, so your voice must be nice too,
right?”
Still silent, the man insisted on feeding me first before having his own dinner. The atmosphere felt really
weird. After eating, he moved the dirty dishes to the kitchen. Without seeking Jenny’s agreement, he
wheeled me out directly.
Surprised, I yelled, “Where are you bringing me? Jenny! Jenny!”
I did not know what Jenny was doing, but she did not seem to hear my calls at all. Soon after that, the
man had brought me out of the house and to the park. Then, he stopped and passed me a white cane.
Only then did I realize that he wanted me to exercise after eating. Holding the white cane, I stood up
and walked around on the grassy field. The man followed behind me silently without saying anything.
Hence, I could not help but ask, “Are you unable to speak? Don’t misunderstand me, though. I don’t
intend to mock you. Since I can’t see anything, I have no right tough at you either.”
The man looked at me for a long time. I could even sense his gaze sweeping over my body from head
to toe. Still, he remained silent. I had probably guessed the truth, for he did not reply to me.This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
