The two stone lions, named Eric and Borg, responded in unison upon hearing this:

"No, no, since you've said so, what is there for us not to believe? You are the most shining jewel of the family, and we believe you would never lie. But is there something you need to do today? If it's convenient, could you tell us? We'd like to be able to cover for you if Lord Felix asks about it later."

Clearly, those two silly guys didn't believe Adele's words; they just took them as an excuse for the girl to go out and play.

However, since she was that person's own granddaughter, and the two of them were merely gatekeepers, there was no need to offend her. In any case, even if they released the girl, they would only receive some reprimands, and as for punishment, that was naturally impossible.

Adele clearly understood that the two guys in front of her were just spouting nonsense in line with her words.

The girl was immediately displeased. After all, she was telling the truth, but these two insisted on treating it as a lie and saying things in front of Ron that made people want to laugh.

Ron kept his eyes on the girl's facial expressions. When those two things were saying those things, he could clearly see that the girl's cute little face had puffed up slightly, like a pufferfish that had been provoked, which was quite adorable.

"You two... Hmph, I'm ignoring you. I'm going to tell Grandfather later, and he'll have you both turned into bricks."

She looks completely different from Fiona.

Ron listened to the girl's coquettish tone and her ridiculously cute words, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Then he saw the girl looking in his direction again.

"Ron, I heard from Grandpa that you came back yesterday, but you didn't even tell me. I worried about you for so long for nothing."

"Some unexpected circumstances occurred, and we didn't have time. If this happens again in the future, I will definitely let you know in advance."

"Hmph, you know that's good. Grandfather has been keeping me locked in the room all this time, not letting me go to see you. He's really awful. And these two guys, I don't know who they learned it from, they just can't get their heads together. Every time I want to go out to play, they have to stop me here and ask me for an excuse before they'll let me out. It's so infuriating."

Ron knew, of course, that what the other person meant by "playing" was actually inquiring about him. He had already learned from Fiona that the girl had been frequently asking him about him lately.

He looked at the girl's pouty face, his eyes softening, and he smiled as he said:

"I also think those two guys aren't very bright. I told them I was looking for you, and they kept me outside. If I wasn't worried about offending Lord Felix, I would have taught those two idiots a lesson. By the way, I heard they say you have a prestigious title? The Brightest Gem of Modsen? I bet you came up with that name yourself?"

Adele was initially pleased to hear the boy agree with her, but at the end, she suddenly heard something she least wanted the boy to know.

A flash of embarrassment and annoyance crossed the girl's face, and her cheeks immediately flushed red.

Unlike Fiona, Adele finds it difficult to hide her emotions in front of Ron, often blushing and feeling her heart race, just like now. If it were Fiona, she would probably look at him expressionlessly, perhaps feeling a little embarrassed and annoyed, with her ears turning red, but outwardly, she would definitely not show any abnormality.

Adele, on the other hand, blushed genuinely.

It was as if a pure white gemstone had been transformed into a bewitching, blood-red ruby.

Although they were all equally beautiful and captivating, their faces in the morning possessed an extra touch of charm rarely seen in ordinary times.

Ron stared intently at the girl not far in front of him, a ripple of emotion stirring within him.

"What are you looking at? You didn't come to see me today just to talk about this, did you? I heard from Fiona that you brought her a gift when you came back. What about mine?"

Ron, who had been wearing a faint smile, stumbled and almost fell to the ground upon hearing the girl's words. Seeing the cunning glint in her eyes, he secretly made up his mind: he would definitely keep the two of them apart from now on, otherwise, if Adele was corrupted by Fiona, he would be in big trouble.

"What gift? I don't know anything about it. Fiona just likes to make these pointless jokes. Don't listen to her nonsense."

"What gift? I don't know anything about it. Fiona just likes to make these pointless jokes. Don't listen to her nonsense."

"Tch, I think you're just not honest. You call everyone 'senior sister,' but when you come to me, you turn into Fiona, Fiona. I wonder if you've been messing around with any other girls lately. I'm definitely going to find Fiona tomorrow and ask her about it."

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but rub my forehead again, already beginning to regret what I had done: I shouldn't have let the two of them meet.

Even if it caused a huge scene back then, if he hadn't let those two girls meet, at least this wouldn't have happened today.

He felt that Adele standing in front of him was no longer the gentle girl she used to be.

The other person seems to be gradually taking on the shape of Fiona...

Shaking his head to banish such unrealistic thoughts from his mind, Ron looked at the girl in front of him seriously, his tone solemn:

"Kaladel, I have another matter to discuss with Lord Felix today. We can talk about our business later, shall we?"

Hearing the boy say that, the girl pouted, but she knew that since he had said that, it must be something important, and she couldn't afford to be temperamental. She nodded and then waved to him.

"Come with me, I'll take you to see your grandfather."

Without hesitation, Luo Wenyan jogged a few steps to the other person's side, finally turning her gaze to the two stone lions that had remained silent, listening to their conversation:

"Gentlemen, I have something very important to discuss with Mr. Felix. In that case, I'll go in first and won't disturb your work any longer."

After saying this, he took Adele's arm and walked into the manor, leaving the two fools standing there dumbfounded, at a loss for what to do.

"WALL-E, do you think this guy might become Lord Felix's grandson-in-law?"

"I don't know, but I do know that we think we offended him just now..."
