“Chris… she’s actually quite jealous of Miss Gothic’s magical talent,” Wayne said in a low, somewhat strained voice.

"She also has many troubles."

Even worse, she was troubled by not realizing what she had done wrong and therefore being unable to make amends.

This fact gradually became clear through daily companionship.

"The so-called 'being favored by fate' is nothing but a false proposition."

Chapter 269 Quick, say something nice.

There is no such thing as someone who can obtain everything they desire.

Whatever a person gains, they will inevitably lose something else.

It's like how you can only grasp a limited amount of things with both hands at any given time.

Whether Chris is the so-called "god-daughter" or "biological daughter" in the original story,

She seemed invincible, seemingly blessed with the protagonist's aura.

But are these dazzling things really as perfect to her as they appear on the surface?

Wayne knew very well—

At least in romantic relationships, this is not the case.

As Ge Li drew closer, he realized... he could no longer exclude her from his life.

I can no longer refuse her, even...

Even if one day Ge Li wants to end this relationship, I'm afraid I'll stick to her like a leech.

I still have that kind of determination.

But even if he has that kind of awareness, is it possible for Chris to agree to his wishes?

I think it's better not to have such grand dreams.

No.

Not only Chris, but even Geli, who has been accommodating him all along, probably cannot tolerate his truest desires.

To be honest, Wayne's real wish is—

I want them all.

However, it was quite obvious from Goth's increasingly aggressive hostility towards Chris that her resentment was gradually building up.

If a reasonable way to mitigate these problems isn't found, the number of time bombs we've planted ourselves will continue to grow, and the destructive power will only increase when they all explode.

He sighed silently.

Is it still possible for my wish to come true?

Thinking this, Wayne couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Ge Li.

She lowered her gaze, as if lost in thought, and wasn't listening to what he was saying.

Her hands rested naturally on her knees.

With her upright posture, she looked very well-behaved.

Wayne's heart softened.

In front of outsiders, she couldn't even get close to him. What did she gain from this relationship?

Is all I can offer her just fleeting pleasure...?

—That shouldn't be the case.

With everyone deep in thought, the atmosphere at the table wasn't very warm. The four of them exchanged a few pleasantries and then parted ways hastily.

And before leaving, Wayne received a cold glare from Miss Yuna.

It seems that Yuna is very unhappy that Wayne ruined her image in front of Prince Lawrence.

Of course, he glared back without backing down.

Perhaps in Yuna's mind, Wayne had already become a detestable enemy. But for Wayne, his impression of her had been deteriorating for much longer.

After they withdrew from the Geli's position first, Lawrence pondered and said, "I think, in order to show my support for Chris, I'd better not cooperate with the orchestra."

Even in something like this, you have to do someone a favor along the way...

Lawrence, you've come up with so many old tricks.

Wayne inwardly grumbled, but still expressed his gratitude with great appreciation.

“I think Chris would be happy to know,” he answered for Chris.

This meeting could be considered as having barely achieved the initial goal, so Lawrence returned to the palace full of pride.

After watching him leave, Wayne shook his head and began his journey home.

……

“What else do we need to bring?” Chris hesitated, standing beside her open wicker suitcase.

She wanted to ask Wayne for his opinion, but when she turned her head, she saw Wayne slumped on the sofa, half asleep, and she was inexplicably furious.

"Wien!" she said, striding over aggressively.

"Didn't you insist on being in a group with me? Why are you so unenthusiastic now, huh?"

She tugged at Wayne's hand, trying to cheer him up.

But just as she got close, Wayne, who was still clearly keeping his eyes closed, smiled secretly and pulled her into his arms.

Chris was taken aback, and then realized that she had been trapped by him.

"Hey!"

She weakly pounded on Wayne's shoulder, trying to get him to let go of her.

However, it is obvious that such a painless and ineffective action is futile.

"Want to leave?"

he asks.

Chris looked at him with brimming eyes and nodded hesitantly.

Based on past experience, Chris felt that he was probably planning to take advantage of her again.

Sure enough, Wayne's voice rose.

"Quick, say something nice." He revealed a rather despicable smile.

Seeing that she couldn't break free, Chris, in her embarrassment, simply hugged him back and buried her face in his chest.

Her face, slightly flushed with shyness, was also hidden.

Wayne lowered his head and teased her with his nose, trying to get her to look up at him.

"Miss Chris, did you miss me today?" he asked.

Chris's deliberately sabotaging voice came from inside her arms.

"We've always been together, why should I miss you..."

“That’s not right!” Wayne retorted. “If you like someone, you’ll constantly see her image in your mind.”

Even when we're face to face, I miss them terribly.

He embraced Chris's hands, tightening his grip as he spoke.

"Therefore, Miss Chris should understand more clearly what she has done to me."

Chris hesitated for a long time, seemingly unable to refute his logic.

"So, what would you like to hear... something nice?"

Seeing that her attitude had softened, Wayne was overjoyed.

“For example—call me ‘Brother Wayne’?” he tentatively suggested.

As soon as he finished speaking, he clearly felt Chris's body stiffen for a moment.

"You... just how obsessed are you with this title?!" She raised her head, revealing a pair of shy yet helpless eyes.

Her eyes were clear and bright.

However, her tone clearly indicated that she was unwilling.

Wayne immediately showed an unhappy expression.

"Don't you like your brother?" he grabbed her wrist and questioned her.

Chris paused, looking somewhat puzzled.

"When did I say I liked my brother?"

Realizing what she had said, she retorted irritably, "Besides, I don't even have a brother, okay?"

Wayne scoffed dismissively at her rebuttal that she refused to admit her mistake.

"Didn't you say before that you liked the older boy next door?" he said sourly.

In other words, no suspected targets appeared around Chris.

Otherwise... he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't go to great lengths to make that person suffer.

Hearing him say that, Chris was both speechless and amused.

"You remember it way too clearly!" she complained.

...There's nothing I can do, I'm just that kind of vengeful person.

“Wien”.

She called his name softly with a smile.

"Hmm?" Wayne affectionately pressed his cheek against hers.

She neither refused nor dodged.

"—You're so jealous."

Chapter 270 The Love Spreader: Tasia

“Yes,” Wayne admitted matter-of-factly.

If Chris also wanted to raise fish in the pond, even with the invincible aura of a female protagonist, I probably wouldn't be attracted to her.

"So, tell me quickly! Who is that 'big brother neighbor'?"

He used all four limbs to hold Chris tightly in his arms.

Chris laughed and punched him, "I already said no!"

"I don't believe you! You clearly said it yourself."

Wayne was determined not to let her go until she told the truth.

"Don't you actually like me at all? You only accepted me reluctantly because you couldn't be with your neighbor." Wayne stared intently into her eyes.

Chris said irritably, "That was so many years ago! I can't even remember his name or what he looked like now."

It would have been better if she hadn't explained; the more she explained, the more bitter Wayne felt inside.

Even if I can't remember his face or name, I can still remember how I felt about liking him...

I suddenly remembered this and wanted to tease her, but I ended up digging my own grave instead.

Unable to refute his sudden remark, Chris finally realized how terrible it was when her lover was being unreasonable.

She raised her hands, pinched his face between them, and squeezed his lips together until they pouted.

“That’s just because I remember him taking me out to play when I was very young,” Chris said. “I haven’t seen him since we moved.”

Then, she gently stepped forward and gave Wayne a small kiss.

“I like Wayne the most~” she said sweetly.
