Manfred answered helplessly, “Get in.”
Selina rejoiced and she gave a peck on Manfred’s cheek when she got into the car. The mood became very romantic and Selina quickly lowered her head coyly.
Manfred brought Selina to a huge bookstore. Selina knew what she wanted and quickly went to the appropriate section, selected some books, and paid for them. Selina was very happy and smiled like a little girl after buying the books.
Manfred was fuming that he had lost out to these books. What made it worse was this woman didn’t even notice it. He raised his hand and flicked Selina’s forehead. Selina turned around and looked at him with that innocent and naïve look. Manfred suddenly felt aroused by her…
What they didn’t know was there was a pair of eyes that stared sinisterly at them behind them.
After leaving the bookshop, Manfred’s phone rang and it was work-related. So he walked away as he answered the call.
Selina stood in place and waited for him. Suddenly someone emerged from the side and slapped Selina without hesitation.
“Slut, who the hell do you think you are?”
Selina was stunned and looked angrily at the stranger, “You must have mistaken me for someone else!”
“You are the slut!” The woman wanted to hit Selina again but Selina caught her hands and pushed her away, “Enough! I don’t even know you. I’ll call the police if you continue!”
“Go ahead! I’ll see if the police will help a gold digger like you!”
Selina’s face went pale as she asked, “Who the hell are you?”
Selina totally did not know who this woman was but she seemed to know Selina.
“You are not worthy of knowing who I am! I warn you, you’d better stay away from Manfred. Otherwise, I won’t let you off!” The woman yelled.
So, it was because of Manfred.
Selina scoffed, “Why? You’re taking it out on me because you can’t get Manfred to like you? Why don’t you use your efforts to attract Manfred rather than harassing me over here?”
“I…” The woman became flustered, “You’re too scheming and had seduced him!”
“I seduce him? Okay, so what if I did seduce him? He likes me to seduce him. Why don’t you seduce him if you are able to? Perhaps you tried but were unsuccessful. Otherwise, would I be with him?”
Selina wasn’t someone who could be bullied. The woman became unsettled with what Selina said.
“You…” She wanted to get physical when she couldn’t spar with words.
However, Selina returned a slap! Selina felt very good after hearing the slap that she landed on her face. She had all the pent-up frustrations over these few days.
That woman wanted to retaliate but suddenly her expression changed as she looked behind Selina.
“Manfred…”
Selina frowned, turned around, and saw that Manfred was back. Selina’s face heated up when she thought about what she said and whether Manfred heard her. She saw that woman trying to run into Manfred’s embrace but Manfred dodged and she lurched towards the wall.
Selina almost burst out in laughter.
“Manfred!” The woman yelled.
At this moment, Manfred frowned, “Bonnie, according to the family status, you should address me as second brother. In the future don’t let me hear you addressing me by my name.”
Selina was speechless. Second brother? Manfred had a sister?
“I don’t want to be your sister! Furthermore, I’m not born by my father and mother.”
“Enough!” Manfred said impatiently and turned towards Selina, “Are you alright?”
He then noticed the hand imprint on Selina’s face and his expression immediately darkened, “Did you do this?”
Bonnie was shocked. She had been pampered by the Gordon family and knew that Manfred would not do anything to her. That was why she acted without regard for the consequences.
“So what if I hit her? She’s a mistress and should receive a good beating.”
Manfred glared furiously at her, “Apologize!”
“I won’t!” Bonnie looked at Manfred and said while trying to sound pitiful, “Manfred, you’ve changed. You weren’t like this in the past!”
Ever since Manfred returned to the Gordon family several years back she had fallen for Manfred at the first sight. This was accepted by her adopted parents. She also felt that Manfred treated her differently.
Manfred looked at her coldly, “What was I like in the past?”
“Of course you liked me in the past. Otherwise, why did you deal with those two outrageous women but didn’t do anything to me?”
So it was because of this.
Manfred was so angry that his voice deepened, “I didn’t deal with you because you are the adopted daughter of second uncle and one of the Gordon family. But from the looks of it, I had been too nice towards you.”
On saying, he felt Selina’s cheek and asked, “Which hand did she slap you with?”
Selina suddenly remembered what Sharon said previously about a man who broke his own leg. She couldn’t help but remark, “I already returned the slap.”
“No need to speak up for me!” Bonnie didn’t appreciate her kindness and remained very aggressive.
Selina kept her peace as she had seen too many of such kinds of people. Bonnie would have to face the consequences of her actions.
Manfred narrowed his eyes, “Which hand?”
Bonnie raised her arm, “This, so what?”
“Zephyrus!” With Manfred’s yell, a man emerged from hiding.
What an apt name! Selina was shocked that Manfred had a secret bodyguard who constantly followed him.
“Do it!” Manfred commanded.
Bonnie glared at Selina, “Manfred, you really want to treat me this way due to this woman?”
“You asked for it!” Manfred scoffed.
“Okay! Don’t need you to do anything, I’ll do it myself!” Bonnie gave herself a tight slap, “Would this do?” Manfred didn’t say anything and she slapped herself again for more than ten times. Bonnie eventually started crying.
Selina then said, “Manfred, let’s go home, I’m tired.”
Manfred was pleased to hear her say that and his heart warmed up, “Okay.”
He turned to open the car door and both of them left without looking back. Zephyrus also disappeared into the dark of the night.
After the car drove a distance away, Selina softly said, “Actually you shouldn’t treat Bonnie that way because of me.”
“Do you pity her?” Manfred asked.
Actually, that was not an act of impulse. Bonnie had repeatedly frustrated him. It was a matter of time that he disciplined her.
“Of course not. Except that we will part one day and she is your relative…”
Manfred frowned on hearing this, “Now you said that we will part one day and just now you said that you seduced me. Aren’t you something?”
Selina blushed, so he heard her after all.
“But… I said those because the situation forced me just now.”
“Oh?” Manfred nodded, “But I’m indeed seduced by you now. So what happens now?”
