Chapter 1537
"But this is the na my parents gave . They said it has a symbolic aning, very auspicious."
The man chuckled lightly: "Auspicious? Let’s go with that."
"Huh?" Her round eyes were filled with doubt.
Why did it feel so casual?
It was as if he didn’t care what na she changed to, as long as she didn’t go by Ethel.
"Milty, I want to know why? Why can’t I be called Ethel? Is it because...that woman is called Chloe Collins?"
She asked slowly.
A flicker of unusual color passed through the man’s eyes, and his finger unconsciously exerted force, moving above her eyebrows for a few seconds, leaving a tiny imprint when lifted.
A slight sting made her furrow her brows.
She knew it. That must be it.
That woman must be the one in Milty’s heart, so he was so sensitive about it.
Even others’ nas, if they had one overlapping part, were unacceptable.
After thinking for a while, she said, "Okay, I’ll change my na, but I won’t call myself ’Auspicious.’ I want to have the sa last na as Milty."
"Whatever you want." He lazily answered, and then got up to leave.
After she pursed her lips and thought for a mont, she had an idea, "I want to be called..."
Just as she was about to say the new na she thought of, the man’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
So frustrating.
She kept watch at the doorway until the next morning.
Hearing so movent inside, she quickly got up and fetched a cup of water.
The first need after waking up in the morning was always water.
The door opened, and she ca face to face with the man’s cold handso face.
"Milty, have so water."
The man just briefly glanced at her and asked, "Why aren’t you going to school?"
Ethel blinked, the curiosity in her heart grew stronger, unconsciously mumbling out loud the thoughts she had: "Ah, it’s the sa again."
Milty had returned to his gentle, refined and aloof self, just like a few days ago.
So, the strange behavior last night must have been due to the visit of that mysterious person.
She answered her own questions in her mind.
Milton White didn’t mind her talking to herself, he took the offered cup of water, and casually said: "Go to school, you don’t need to follow every day."
Ethel followed up:, "But it’s already the end of the sester. I plan to take school seriously next sester. Anyway, I have to repeat the year. Plus, I learn things quickly, I can keep up even if I don’t attend regularly."
She smiled, "Milty, you just believe in Rain Encounter."
"Rain Encounter? Who’s that?"
"That’s the na I thought of last night!" she laughed, "Because when we t for the first ti, it was raining. So I thought of this na."
There was a fleeting look of confusion in the man’s serene eyes, he casually asked, "Aren’t you called Ethel?"
"Huh?"
The little girl was confused again, how co he forgot?
"Yes, but you said last night that my na didn’t sound good, so you asked to change it. Moreover, this na overlaps with that young miss’s na." She hesitantly explained the reason.
"You deleted her photos, and then also didn’t want to hear about things related to her..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she was startled by the man’s suddenly gloomy face.
She saw him searching around for sothing, finally spotting his phone in the corner of the sofa. He picked it up and looked at it attentively for a while.
His face was getting worse and worse.
"Milty....what’s wrong? Didn’t you delete the photo yourself?"
Milton White gripped the phone tightly, his face terrifying.
After a long ti, he made a decision, his icy eyes turned towards the little girl.
The little girl pursed her lips, her heart pounding rapidly.
She was sowhat frightened, feeling both respect and fear.
"From today on, your task is to supervise ."
"Huh?"
She was confused again.
Milton White looked at her with profound eyes, having already made up his mind.
Outside the house, the cicadas were chirping loudly, sumr had truly arrived.

(Goodnight.)
