As soon as Wendy heard his question, she did not answer but she looked at Kenneth with an awkward expression on her face.
She did not dare to say that she had no boyfriend because she was Kenneth's lover.
However, she did not tell any outsiders that she was Kenneth’s lover. After all, Kenneth had a family of his own. She did not want to ruin or break his family apart. If that was the case, and if she said that she was his lover, then she would definitely cause more trouble for him. If that happened, she would only be making things difficult for herself.
Unexpectedly, Kenneth was actually very straightforward at this time. He did not bother to hide the truth and he simply smiled before he told Jeffrey," Brother Jeffrey, let me tell you the truth. Wendy is actually my lover. However, I hope you'll keep this to yourself and not tell anyone else about this." 5
Jeffrey felt very regretful at this time. He initially thought that Wendy was Kenneth's niece. Who would have known that it was just a cover up and she was in fact just his lover. 1
Even though he was interested in Wendy, he would not dare to steal Kenneth’s woman. Therefore, he could only dispel all these thoughts in his heart.
Kenneth naturally saw the look of greed in his eyes and he smiled to himself as he continued chatting with Jeffrey.
At this time, Kenneth deliberately asked Jeffrey, "By the way, Brother Jeffrey, how has your father’s health been recently?" 1
Jeffrey sighed before he said, "Not that good. The old man had partied too much when he was younger and he's paying the price for his actions now. Therefore, his health is suffering a lot now."
Kenneth asked again, "I heard that the old man used t o have a lot of romantic relationships in the past?"
"Of course he had plenty of them!" Jeffrey replied helplessly. "Don't you know that my father was just like me? He was very handsome and young back then and he would always coax and spend the night with all sorts of women whenever he went out to buy medicinal herbs and medicine outside. He would always find the opportunity to sleep around whenever he could do so. As far as I know, he had more than twenty lovers in the past! That's even more than I have!" 5
