“It’s nothing!”
Ben smiled awkwardly and continued eating.
“You look good!”
Fane also smiled. “But those words on your chests, ‘the Bodyguards of the Taylor Family’, that’s too attention-grabbing. It’s like you’re trying to tell everyone that the Taylor family has bodyguards!”
“Does it matter? We’re rich now. Isn’t it normal to hire bodyguards?”
Fiona grinned. “We’ll be going to the countryside for a picnic tomorrow, but since Fane is coming with us, you all won’t have to come along. You’ll only have to follow us if Xena and I go out shopping in the afternoon! Just two of you will do. It’ll be too striking if too many of you were to come!”
“Yes, ma’am. Then we’ll take our leave and patrol the area!”
Elaine smiled and brought her bodyguards out.
“Yay! We’re going out tomorrow!”
Kylie was extremely elated, her gaze filled with anticipation.
After dinner, Kylie returned to her room to rest.
Meanwhile, Fane and Selena took a shower and laid on their bed.
“We can’t let Kylie know what happened this morning. She’d be worried!” Selena spoke after thinking about it.
Selena’s expression darkened when she heard that. “She’s definitely seeing a man on the side while using my brother as a cover,” she said, vexed. “Didn’t we say that we’d find that man and break my brother’s heart once we had evidence? Why did you go and give her money instead?”
After she said that, she rolled her eyes at Fane. “Don’t tell me that you gave her money because she’s good-looking?”
“Her?”
Fane did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Not only is she unattractive compared to you, but she’s also unattractive even compared to Sharon. Why would I give her money because she’s good-looking? It’s like this…”
Selena’s anger only abated after she listened to Fane’s explanation. “So you’re trying to get her to lower her guard and reveal her true colors later on!”
Fane nodded. “But I still don’t get why she suddenly asked us all to go out!”
