The first ti he wanted to say sothing warm to a woman, he was rudely interrupted before he could finish his words.
Roman Kidd’s expression was sowhat awkward.
But July Quinn seed oblivious, and got up.
"Rember not to contact again in the future, especially about your cousin’s matters. Otherwise, every ti you reach out to , I’ll hit her once!"
Leaving behind a cold warning, July Quinn walked away without looking back.
Roman Kidd watched the woman’s departing silhouette, his thin lips opened and closed a few tis, but in the end, he said nothing.
anwhile, the attendant saw July Quinn leaving hurriedly and quickly walked over while carrying sothing.
"Sir, you still have the coat for Miss Quinn. Should I deliver it to her?"
In the attendant’s hand was a won’s water-red double-faced wool coat.
It was even in July Quinn’s size.
Indeed, today Roman Kidd sought out July Quinn not because of Bianca White’s matters.
But because he learned July Quinn was returning to the country today, and saw the weather forecast predicting a significant drop in temperature in Esteria tonight, he specifically went to the mall to buy this coat for her.
He claid he wanted to win her over, persuading her to join the Flas team.
But in truth, even he couldn’t tell if he simply wanted to give a gift to July Quinn or if it was really for the benefit of the Flas team.
So he wanted to use today’s eting to see if he could confirm his feelings.
Unexpectedly, it led to an unpleasant conflict with July Quinn.
"No need."
Although he hadn’t interacted much with July Quinn, Roman Kidd knew July Quinn’s temperant.
Sending this coat to her now would definitely be taken as having ulterior motives.
She might even throw the coat on the ground and stomp on it.
Thinking of the woman’s earlier expression, filled with resistance towards him, Roman Kidd tiredly rubbed his forehead.
At this mont, the attendant asked again, "Then sir, this coat..."
The coat was bought as a gift for July Quinn.
Now that July Quinn was gone, the attendant didn’t know what to do with it.
"Leave it here."
The attendant quickly placed the water-red double-faced wool coat on the seat where July Quinn had been sitting earlier, then turned and left.
Roman Kidd returned to his seat, sipped so hot tea, and wanted to continue reading the book he had been holding.
But half a day passed, and he couldn’t concentrate on a single word, his gaze involuntarily falling on the double-faced wool coat.
When he first saw it in the mall, he thought it would suit July Quinn well.
If it hadn’t been for the argunt about Bianca White earlier, wouldn’t that coat now be on July Quinn?
Roman Kidd couldn’t co up with an answer, only stared absentmindedly at the coat for a long ti...

Late at night, the won’s prison.
Simon Hale was quietly brought inside.
The person who brought him in specifically instructed before leaving, "You have only half an hour, rember to leave imdiately after finishing your business."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Simon Hale nodded and bowed, like a fawning dog, and didn’t forget to slip a bank card into the person’s pocket as they left.
Indeed, every minute and second he could be in this place today was bought with money.
The purpose of coming here was, of course, for his precious daughter Rhonda Hale.
However, at this mont, Rhonda Hale had already been secretly sent onto a plane bound for Aethelgard.
In another two hours, she would arrive in Aethelgard, starting a new life on that unfamiliar land.
And Simon Hale’s late-night entry here was to have Rhonda’s stand-in die of a "sudden heart attack," ensuring the real Rhonda’s safety and freedom...
