Chapter 763


    "L-Lady of the house?"


    ine''s face turned red in an instant. She stole a nce at Howard and said, "Please don''t say


    that, Mr. Lawson. Others may misunderstand you."


    Ruben gave her a strange vibe, so she was a little anxious to know who he was earlier.


    Luckily he was not mad at her and her recklessness.


    With a smirk, Rube asked, "Howard told me that he likes you. Do you know about it?"


    At first, she was only blushing a little, but now her face was as red as a beetroot. She didn''t expect


    that Howard would tell his friend about this.


    Bashfully, she stammered, "H-He''s just kidding. It''s not true..."


    Upon seeing her reaction, Rubenughed. "You''re so adorable. I didn''t know there is someone as


    pure as driven snow these days. Look at you, blushing at the word "like". I wonder what will happen


    when you''re making out."


    ine was so ashamed right now.


    Ruben wanted to continue teasing her, but she quickly stood up. "I-1 need to use the bathroom.


    Excuse me."


    After that, she ran away like a frightened rabbit.


    "This little maid is quite cute," Ruben praised.


    Vincent nced at him lightly. "Do you like her?"


    "Of course. She''s so pure and innocent. I don''t have to be defensive when I''m with such a person."


    Ruben nced at Vincent and continued, "Don''t tell me you don''t like her. There''s no one this


    simple and innocent in our treacherous life."


    So if he could get acquainted with such a simple person, of course, he would like her.


    Vincent said nothing after hearing this.


    After a long while, he blurted, "You can go now."


    Ruben nodded, but before leaving, he could not help but advise, "You can take all the revenge you


    want on the Perkins Family, but leave the maid out of this. She''s innocent."


    Vincent frowned.


    "Okay, fine. I''ll stop." Ruben quickly left upon seeing his impatient frown.


    When ine came out of the bathroom and saw that Howard was alone in the living room, she


    asked in surprise, "Did your friend leave already?"


    Without saying anything, Vincent leaned back on the sofazily and stared at her.


    Under his gaze, ine felt a little restless. "What''s wrong?"


    After a long while, Vincent said slowly, "Ruben likes you very much."


    "Oh. Yes, I like him too. He is very nice."


    "Is it?" Vincent asked, "You like him? Do you like me then?"


    Why did hee back to this question again?


    Looking around uneasily, she changed the topic. "Well, it''s gettingte. I''ll fill up the tub for you."


    After that, she quickly ran back to the bathroom.


    As he stared at her back and snorted, he prepared to leave when something crossed his mind and


    took out his phone to call Ruben.


    His call was answered almost immediately, "What''s up..."


    "Will Howard be on duty tonight?"


    "How would I know?"


    "Call the hospital and ask."


    "D*mn it, what do you want to do this time? Are you nning to stay the night?" Ruben frowned and


    warned, "It''s too risky. What if she finds out..."


    "Cut the cr*p and go check."


    Rolling his eyes in dismay, Ruben ended the call and called the mole whom he ced at Howard''s


    office.


    The mole answered his call with a skeptical tone, "Ruben, why are you calling me thiste?"


    "Ahem, I just wanted to ask how are you guys with Howard. Did he suspect anything?"


    "No. We''ve all disguised ourselves very well. He won''t be able to find out."


    "That''s good." Ruben added, "What is he doing now? Is he on duty tonight?"


    "He just finished an operation and is resting in the office now. I think he has another operation


    scheduled in the middle of the night, so he probably won''t go back tonight."


    "Okay, got it."


    Ruben hung up the phone and called Vincent again, to which he picked up immediately and huffed,


    "Talk."


    "He won''t be back tonight. He''s on duty."


    "Alright," answered Vincent with an affirmative hum.


    Before they ended the call, Ruben quickly added, "Regardless, you have to be careful not to reveal


    yourself..."


    "Beep beep beep..."


    The busy tone ruthlessly resonated through the phone.


    Ruben stared at the phone helplessly.


    After filling up the tub, ine shouted as Howard had note out of the bedroom, "Dr. Perkins, it''s


    ready!"


    But there was no response.


    Hence, she went to the bedroom and saw Howard standing in front of the wardrobe.


    "What''s wrong, Dr. Perkins?" ine asked, puzzled.


    "Did I wear all of these clothes?" ''Howard'' asked as soon as ine came over.


    "Yes, you wore those. What''s the matter? Is there any problem?"


    Vincent was a germophobe. He would not wear any clothes that had been worn by others.


    Hence, he turned and asked, "Is there any clean or brand new clothes?"


    "Uh, you want brand new clothes now?"


    "Yes."


    "But these are all clean. I''ve washed them all."


    ine wondered why did he despise these clothes all of a sudden. He never had this problem


    before.


    However, Vincent frowned at the clothes as if he was looking at his enemies.


    Only now did he realize that staying the night was a terrible idea.


    Although she didn''t know what happened to him, shepromised when she saw the deep frown


    on his forehead. "There''s a new bathrobe that you have never worn. Do you want to wear it to sleep


    tonight?"


    "Show me."


    She hurriedly retrieved it.


    After looking at it, he reluctantly nodded. "Okay, I''ll wear this."


    Breathing a sigh of relief, she urged, "Please go and take a bath then."


    She quietlyined that it was as tiring as tending to a child.


    At around 11 pm, ine finally went to bed to rest. After a whole day''s work, she just wanted to tuck


    in and sleep.


    She closed her eyes, and after a few seconds, she fell deeply asleep.


    Suddenly, she was awakened by an abrupt noise.


    She was in a drowsy daze for a moment beforeing to her senses and walked out. of her room.


    Sure enough, the TV in the living room was on and Howard was sitting on the sofa watching


    TV.


    Shocked, ine asked, "Dr. Perkins, why haven''t you slept yet? What happened just now? Did


    something fall?"


    "Did I wake you up?" Vincent''s eyes flickered in the darkness. "I identally knocked over the


    mug."

    "Oh, I see." When she turned on the warm light, she saw the broken pieces of the mug under the


    table and quickly cleaned it up.


    After that, she looked at the clock on the wall. It was 2 am.


    Then, she turned to nce at Howard who looked refreshed in disbelief. "Do you n to stay up all


    night?"
