Chapter 769


    Vincent had been to Howard''s house three days ago.


    Later, he didn''t look so good when he came back, so Ruben asked him what had happened, but he


    tantly ignored him and went straight to the bathroom to take a bath.


    Curious, Ruben immediately reyed the surveince and footage, only to find that Vincent and


    ine were doing the despicable thing on the sofa.


    Vincent scared her out of her wits.


    As a result, Vincent left the house frantically and even acted like a big bully, threatening her not to


    tell anyone about what happened.


    Upon thinking of this, Ruben rubbed his chin and wondered if he should check the surveince


    again to see what did they dost night.


    With determination, Ruben muttered to himself, "I''ll check the surveince and see how was she


    able to make you sleep by just singing. She''s not a mermaid, is she? I bet she spiked your drink


    without you noticing it."


    Vincent frowned, a look of suspicion shing across his face.


    When he woke up on the sofa this morning, he was confused at first and quickly followed by shock.


    Never did he expect that he would fall asleep unscrupulously.


    In fact, it was in such an ufortable posture as both of them squeezed in the same sofa for a


    whole night as if they were warming up each other.


    The autumn night was quite cold but the coldness did not wake him up.


    On the contrary, he slept soundly for a few hours.


    Although it was not long, it was good sleep quality.


    He felt even better than sleeping after taking the sleeping pills.


    After he woke up, apart from the soreness on his body due to the poor sleeping posture, he felt


    surprisingly rxed and refreshed.


    It was an extraordinary feeling after a night of excellent sleep quality.


    This had been bothering him for the whole day today. Why and how could he fall asleep in that kind


    of state?


    In the study.


    As Ruben watched the surveince rey, he felt confused andplicated.


    He had thought that he would see something indescribable, but when he looked at the monitor,


    what he saw was two people sitting in the dark living room chatting about some boring topics.


    This was the ruthless and fearsome Vincent! Why would he chat to ine about such boring topics?


    ncing at Vincent several times in disbelief, Ruben stated, "I''ve checked all the surveince in


    every room, and I confirm that she didn''t drug you. Are you sure it was not because of the sleeping


    pill she gave you that made you fall asleep?"


    Vincent said faintly, "I took two pills after I came back this morning, and I''ve been up for the whole


    day."


    What he meant was that even two pills would not be effective on him, let alone one.


    Rubbing his chin skeptically, Ruben blurted, "That''s weird."


    The surveince video showed that the two of them curled up on the sofa and fell deeply asleep for


    a few hours.


    It wasn''t until dawn when Vincent abruptly woke up. After sitting on the sofa for a while, he carried


    ine back to her room and left.


    After turning off the video, Ruben thought for a while and raised his eyebrows. "Why don''t you give


    her a try again tonight? Let''s see if she can make you fall asleep by singing again and this time,


    without pill."


    Ignoring him, Vincent stood up and began to walk out.


    Ruben paused for a moment and asked, "Hey, where are you going?"


    "Howard''s house."

    "D*mn it, wait for me!"


    Morgan had already ordered the servants to prepare a feast, waiting for Ruben to bring Vincent


    downstairs to eat.


    Vincent had only a handful of people whom he trusted, and Ruben was one of them.


    Therefore, Morgan was convinced that Ruben could persuade Vincent.


    Sure enough, when he was thinking about it, footsteps came from the stairs. He hurried over and


    greeted, "Mr. Bradbury, Mr. Lawson, dinner is ready."


    "No thanks." Ruben waved his hand and said, "I have something to do with Vincent, so we''ll skip


    dinner for now."


    "What?" Morgan was astounded. "But, Mr. Bradbury, you haven''t eaten anything today. Please eat


    some before going out."


    On second thought, Ruben felt that what Morgan said made sense. They should eat some before


    leaving.


    "Why don''t we eat first before we go out?" suggested Ruben.


    "I''ll eat at Howard''s house. I like ine''s cooking." Vincent frowned.


    Morgan was speechless.


    Ruben was equally dumbfounded.


    Now that he had a new target, he even began to dislike his chef''s cooking, didn''t he?


    Shrugging indifferently, Ruben huffed, "Suit yourself. Let''s go."


    After that, they were about to leave when Morgan sighed and called for Ruben.


    "What is it, Morgan?"


    Pulling Ruben to the side, Morgan whispered, "Who is the person Mr. Bradbury talked about just


    now? Is she a Michelin chef? Can you please bring her here? I would like to meet her and let her


    show us her cooking!"


    The picky Vincent actually praised someone''s cooking and couldn''t wait to go and eat.


    She must be a great chef for him to crave it.


    Amused, Ruben twitched his lips upon hearing Morgan''s request and huffed, "She''s just a maid and


    is iparable to the Michelin chef you hired from Tagren."


    Morgan was taken aback. "S- She must be a hidden master chef, isn''t she?"


    On the other side of the hall, Vincent shouted impatiently, "Hurry up!"


    "She''s nothing but an ordinary person." Ruben shouted as he walked away, "It''s probably just a spur


    of the moment. Vincent will be back to normal after a while."


    Morgan watched them leave, speechless.


    Regardless of what Ruben said, Morgan was convinced that thedy was extraordinary as she


    managed to attract Vincent''s attention.


    Ruben was behind the wheels and Vincent sat in the front passenger seat as they turned into the


    residential area.


    "Do we really want to go there empty- handed? Why don''t we buy something for her?"


    Ruben suggested.


    As Vincent thought about it seriously, he said, "Nah." "Why?" "She''s a girl. I don''t think she likes


    things like weapons and firearms," Vincent said with a serious expression.


    Choking out of shock, Ruben snapped, "I''m talking about ordinary things! Not the bombs and bullets


    you gave to the firearm dealers! Please use somemon sense, okay?"


    Confused, Vincent asked, "What do people normally give each other?"


    Sighing helplessly, Ruben spat, "You know, fruits and desserts. Forget it. Come with me. I''ll take you


    to the fruit shop to buy something and let you have a taste of the life of a normal person!"


    Vincent had been immersed in hazardous life for so long that he had forgotten what was it like to be


    an ordinary human.


    Hence, they spent a lot of time in the fruit shop shopping, and finally, two outstanding men stood in


    front of Howard''s house with a fruit basket in their hands.


    "Ding dong ding dong..."


    They pressed the doorbell for a long time, but no one answered the door.


    Putting the fruit basket on the floor, Ruben put his ear against the door and asked curiously, "No


    one''s home?"


    He should have checked the surveince beforeing out to see if ine was home.
