C6 School Beauty Senior Sister Was Just too Cute!
Humph, humph.
This guy is just too charming!
Fredia's lips curled into a delighted smile as Howard doted on her. But catching the wistful look from her bestie, she quickly composed herself and cleared her throat. "Smart move. But for now, let's stick together. It's way too quiet for Mengyao to be in that villa all by herself."
"Mollie, you're the best!" Mollie was deeply moved. Alone in such a vast estate, it was downright spooky.
"Right?" Fredia chuckled, casting a meaningful glance at Howard. "I've got backup now. Try messing with me!"
The main villa was impressive.
A six-story structure sprawling over a thousand square meters.
The first floor boasted a grand hall that left Mollie's eyes wide with awe.
She had thought the exterior was the height of luxury, but the interior? It was on another level of opulence and elegance, overwhelming even to her, a connoisseur of lavish homes.
Could they really just walk around here?
It felt almost sacrilegious to even step on the floor!
"Howard~" Beside him, Fredia shared the sentiment, her big, doe eyes pleading as she called his name, sending a shiver through Howard's heart.
"Young Master Howard is truly fortunate," Claus said, his face breaking into a beaming, almost maternal smile. "Young Master, ladies, I'll leave you to enjoy your tea and snacks without interruption."
That guy.
Howard gave a slight shake of his head and smiled as he fetched two pairs of indoor slippers from the cabinet. Unbranded, yet their quality was undeniable—a touch of luxury.
"Wow, these slippers are so comfy, I never want to take them off!" Mollie, ever the outspoken one, didn't hide her enthusiasm.
And the bunny design? Absolutely adorable.
"If you like them, they're yours," Howard offered casually. To him, no matter how fancy the slippers were, they were just slippers. If a pair could please her, he'd happily give her several more.
With Mollie's assistance, the obstacles to marrying Fredia in the future seemed more surmountable.
"I'll take you up on that offer then!"
Mollie, ever the sport, chuckled and strutted off to explore the villa: "You two enjoy yourselves. I love a solo adventure!"
With that, she gave Howard a conspiratorial wink: "The ball's in your court now. It's all about how you play it!"
That crafty woman!
So easily swayed!
Fredia watched their exchange, teeth clenched in frustration, yet her sparkling eyes betrayed a hint of excitement.
This could be it.
She might actually become the lady of the house!
But if I'm not demure, will Howard see me as a gold-digger?
For a moment, Fredia wrestled with her thoughts.
"What's on your mind?" Howard, noticing her disquiet, instinctively reached out to pat her head, then offered his hand with elegance: "Would this beautiful lady care to join me on an adventure through this castle?"
Ha!
You're something else!
Suddenly, Fredia's anxiety melted away, and she beamed radiantly, placing her delicate, cool hand trustingly in Howard's. "It would be my pleasure."
With a giggle, they exchanged knowing smiles and their hands remained intertwined.
As they did, they naturally drew closer to one another.
They ambled through the villa at a leisurely pace, discovering the diversity of rooms – studies, guest rooms, bathrooms, living rooms – each floor with its unique decor.
On the top floor, Mollie was perched on a guest room balcony, savoring her tea while gazing out at the boundless sea, the picture of contentment.
They left her to her bliss.
The top floor had fewer rooms, but it was more than adequate.
In a guest room adorned with a pink motif, Fredia found herself rooted to the spot, utterly enchanted by the decor.
The expansive windows, the refined balcony, the vast collection of books – to reside here, to lounge on this fragrant balcony immersed in literature, with the distant ocean waves as a backdrop, would be sheer bliss!
"Do you like it?" Howard had been watching her expressions intently, not expecting her to be so taken by the romantic, cozy pink room.
She loved it!
Fredia's eyes, wide with a mix of hope and anxiety, were fixed on Howard. "Can I live here? I absolutely adore this room!"
"Of course." Howard replied with a gentle smile, watching her joyfully explore every corner of the room. Then, with a blush, she darted over to him, stood on tiptoe, and planted a quick kiss on his cheek. "Consider that a reward. Don't read too much into it!"
Got it!
The fleeting kiss, cool and soft, lingered in Howard's mind. He couldn't help but grin at the sight of Senior Sister burying her head under the blanket, ostrich-style. "Senior Sister, you're just too adorable!"
Don't make fun of me!
Or else, I might just cry to show you!
Fredia was truly embarrassed. She felt too unrestrained!
Never!
Howard responded earnestly, "Senior Sister, even if I'm not sure what's troubling you, my love for you is absolutely genuine!"
Upon hearing Howard's heartfelt words, Fredia, like an ostrich emerging from its hideaway, trembled with delight. She leapt up, burrowed into Howard's embrace, and clung to his waist. "Then, starting today, you're my backup boyfriend, the only one!"
But I'd like to be official!
Howard cocked his head, his clear eyes tenderly fixed on the endearingly clueless girl.
I don't want to be official!
Fredia huffed with feigned indignation.
Why not?
Howard was genuinely intrigued.
"Being official means doing naughty things and having babies, which hurts. I don't want that. Not unless we're married. Only then can you become official," Fredia mumbled into Howard's chest, her cheeks flushed with shyness.
Oh.
So, are we already a couple in a heated romance?
Howard scratched his cheek in bemusement.
Ding! You've completed a hidden surprise task: Senior Sister's heartfelt confession. You've earned one sign-in opportunity and a reward of one hundred million yuan!
What?
The unexpected prompt briefly took Howard aback, but he quickly brushed it aside, his attention returning to the sweet scent wafting from the soft figure in his arms.
Meanwhile.
He was caught between laughter and tears.
To Senior Sister, a real boyfriend was on par with a post-marriage husband!
This adorably naive Senior Sister was just too charming!
Gurgle!
Lost in thought.
The rumbling of his stomach caught Howard off guard. He glanced at Senior Sister, who was too bashful to look up, and the corners of his mouth twitched upward. "Senior Sister, are you hungry? Because I am too. Let's go grab a bite to eat. We can invite Sister Mengyao to join us!"
Hmm~
The school belle, Senior Sister, was so bashful she couldn't even lift her gaze, her voice barely above a whisper. She tightened her embrace, prompting Howard to chuckle. "Senior Sister, you're just too adorable!"
