Chapter 373 Don’t Dirty My Eyes
Angela had already anticipated that Fanny would show up when she learned about Dylan’s presence, but she couldn’t conceal her repulsion upon seeing Fanny standing unscathed before her. Observing Christopher and Fanny reuniting, Angela was at a loss for how to react. She glared at the duo blocking her path and stepped aside to make way,
However, Christopher obstinately obstructed her path once more.
Angela, in disbelief, inquired, “Is there a problem?”
Only after she initiated the conversation did Christopher smugly retort. “Nothing, just a friendly reminder. Refrain from mistreating Fanny Although Yaxley had brought Fanny to the police station this time, Christopher was aware of Angela’s involvement.
Angela smiled, checked the time, and, realizing it was still early, she was curious to hear how she had supposedly mistreated Fanny. “Mistreat her? When have I mistreated her, and in what way? Enlighten me She refused to indulge them simply because they felt uncomfortable in her presence.
Sensing her deliberate inquiry, Christopher pointed at her accusingly and exclaimed, “How dare you ask!”
Angela Isked, glanced at Fanny beside Christopher, and inquired, “Since he’s unable to articulate it, would you care to explain?”
Fanny feigned surprise and sought refuge in Christopher’s embrace.
Fanny’s seemingly spontaneous reaction elicited a chuckle from Angela. Christopher noticed that Fanny was once again intimidated by Angela and held her closer. “Don’t be frightened, Fanny, Christopher whispered reassuringly, as though afraid Fanny might faint from fear.
Fanny leaned against Christopher like a fragile flower, clutching his arm tightly, and timidly trembled as she stammered. “Christopher, don’t worry. I’m not afraid of her.”
Witnessing Fanny and Christopher’s intimate display in broad daylight, Angela rolled her eyes in disgust.. She could no longer tolerate their affectionate exchange and turned to depart. As she stepped away, Fanny emerged from Christopher’s embrace, appearing timid yet resolute as she blocked Angela’s path.
“Wait.” Fanny spoke again in her sickeningly sweet voice that Angela detested, her hand quivering and trembling slightly.
“Impressive performance, truly playing the innocent. But could you please not dirty my eyes?” Angela couldn’t help but applaud Fanny’s acting skills, expressing her honest opinion. Her words lacked courtesy, causing Fanny to tremble as if she were unable to bear it.
Fanny broke free from Christopher’s embrace. Only then did Christopher react, swiftly catching up to Fanny and positioning himself before Angela. Upon hearing Angela’s impolite remarks, Christopher glared at her and demanded. “Who gave you the righ
to speak of Fanny in such a manner!?” Only at the end did he remember to comfort Fanny. “Fanny, pay no heed to her words. She’s the one dirty other’s
eyes.
Fanny gazed up at Christopher, tears welling in her eyes. She glanced meaningfully at Angela and restrainedly remarked. “Christopher, you shouldn’t say that.”

“Why shouldn’t I? It’s the truth!” Christopher defended Fanny while glaring fiercely at Angela.
Angela yawned nonchalantly. “Tsk, anything else to add?” Not to mention that Christopher merely parrots her words, Angela indeed underestimates the feeble verbal sparring skills of Christopher and Fanny. Furthermore, while she was unsure why the two had suddenly provoked her, it was evident that both were holding back.
Christopher was not good at verbal confrontation and was cautious because of Jonathan.
Fanny also looked at Christopher’s mask, her expression uncertain. Noticing Fanny’s gaze, Christopher hurriedly explained. “Fanny, don’t listen to her lies, I have allergies. When Fanny remained silent, he scolded Angela again. “Don’t try to create conflict between us!”
Remembering their task, Christopher agreed. “Okay, let’s focus on enrollment.”
