Chad was stunned when she said this, "Why do you think so? Although I respect my brother and Lyra very much, of course, I have carefully considered such a big event as marriage."
Seeing that he was serious, Keira didn't continue to ask about that but moved on to the next question.
"Chad, how do you think I'm different today than usual?"
She wiped away her tears, blinked her eyes, and deliberately got close to him.
Chad looked her up and down for a long time, but he didn't notice any difference.
"Have you become... crying more than usual?"
Keira punched his shoulder angrily, "I shouldn't ask you! Stupid! Why do you think I put on such beautiful makeup?"
She beat him hard.
Chad had been training all the year round. He was strong and Keira's punching was like tickling in his eyes.
He reluctantly held Keira's restless little fists, and habitually rubbed her knuckles, "Okay my little baby, stop that. Your hands will hurt later."
At least he knew how to take care of her hands.
Facing such a man, Keira could only comfort herself.
Chad's hands had been holding guns and knives for a long time, and had rough and thick calluses.
Her skin was delicate, and he wasn't measured enough, so he had to help dry her tears with the back of his hands. However, because he was not skilled enough, he wiped her eyeliner.
Chad didn't know what to say.
He looked at Keira whose makeup was smudged, and smiled silently.
"The makeup on your face is smudged because of crying. Can I ask my colleague to take you back to wash?"
"Smudged?"
Keira quickly took out a small mirror in her pocket. After putting on her makeup for a few hours, it was gone so quickly that Chad didn't even appreciate it.
She just collapsed and wanted to cry even more, "My makeup is smudged. I come over to look for you, but you forgot your promise with me. You can't do what you promised me. We're about to get engaged but you don't take me seriously in your heart. Chad, it's not like I can't get married without you."
After speaking angrily, she turned around and ran away crying.
A police officer at the door ran out to see, "Mr. Chad, she looks very sad. Won't you chase her?"
Chad thought for a while, and the urgent matter at hand had to be done quickly, "You go after her and help me send her back to the White Mansion. If she wants to hang out with her classmates, let her be."
"OK."
The police immediately chased her.
He looked at Keira's back crying and shook his head helplessly.
She was 20 years old this year, and still had the same temper as a child. Was he protecting her too well?
When he was 20 years old, he had followed Malcolm to the border battlefield twice, and survived the harsh living environment of bullets.
He sighed and recalled Keira had just talked about finding her family before they got engaged.
Counting the days, when Malcolm and Lyra returned from their trip, Malcolm should inform Keira's family about their engagement as the man in power of the White family.
Indeed, her family should be contacted as soon as possible.
What was more, he had been with Keira for so long. Because Keira didn't like it, he had never checked her family.
On the way back to the office, Chad focused on this matter and arranged for someone to investigate as soon as possible.
Today, because of business issues, he originally promised to accompany Keira, but broke his promise and planned to buy a xylitol cake in the evening.
She liked sweets the most, so she shouldn't be angry anymore.
Chad thought about it and went back to the office.
